nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also, search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is kde specific. -gene

Google Chrome keeps popping up KDE Wallet dialogue
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

When opening a new page, the latest Google Chrome (10.0.648.82 beta, F14) frequently pops up a KDE Wallet dialogue asking for a keyring password. This seems unrelated to whether the page itself wants a password. No previous version of Chrome did this, in fact I'm surprised Chrome has any interaction with KDE at all. Has anyone seen this? I'm asking here before reporting to BZ. poc

kdepim-4.4.x for f15
by Rex Dieter 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Per our team meeting this week and after consulting upstream, the kde-sig decided kdepim-4.6 isn't ready yet and and to roll back to kdepim-4.4.x for fedora 15 (and ideally squeeze this in for the upcoming alpha release). https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F15/FEDORA-2011-1283 We'll continue to provide kdepim-4.6 in rawhide (targetting f16 now) and unofficial test builds in kde-unstable repo for further testing and feedback. -- Rex

/var/log/kdm.log
by Tomas Straupis 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hello I have a bigish /var/log/kdm.log file (272M). As far as I understand this log file is created by KDE (login(display?) manager)? Is it there by default and if so, shouldn't some kde package drop a file to /etc/logrotate.d/ to take care of the size of this log file? Should I go to bugzilla? (yum whatprovides /etc/logrotate.d/kdm* returns nothing, and looking through results of yum whatprovides /etc/logrotate.d/* does not reveal a potential kdm.log cleaner) P.S. f14, kde4.5.5. -- Tomas Straupis

Incorrect resolv.conf, password prompt with kde-plasma-networkmanagement-vpnc
by Garry Williams 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

My /etc/resolv.conf file is generated incorrectly and I now get a password prompt when I connect to my VPN. I selected Store for both user and group passwords in the Edit Network Connection - KDE Control Module dialog under the Cisco VPN tab. This used to be effective -- no password prompt. Now a useless prompt that won't allow any changes to the stored password pops *under* other windows on the desktop. Before some recent update, the prompt was not issued. The /etc/resolv.conf problem: In the same dialog box, under the IP Address tab for Basic Settings, I add two name servers on the VPN network. I also add a few Search Domains (which has never worked). The /etc/resolv.conf file is now generated with the first DNS server address as the searchdoamin and the second address as the only DNS server. I did a bit of searching bugzilla, but came up empty. I'm also not sure what component to query. I included NetworkManager and kdenetwork. Anyone else having problems? -- Garry T. Williams

F15 Alpha RC2 available for desktop validation
by Adam Williamson 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hey, folks - just a note that Alpha RC2 is now available: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Alpha.RC2/ and help to fill out the desktop validation tests: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_15_Alpha_RC2_Desktop would be greatly welcome. As always, just follow the instructions in the test cases and record your results in the tables, and let me know if you have any trouble or questions. If anyone's wondering about LXDE, it hasn't been spun yet because gmixer was orphaned; we should sort that out with rel-eng. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Wrong keyboard on F15?
by José Abílio Matos 24 Feb '11

24 Feb '11

Hi, I have updated my test machine from F14 to F15 (pre-alpha). The only problem I noticed in kde is that my keyboard was reset to the american layout. Choosing the right layout in the Control Centre fixed this issue. Good work in any case. :-) -- José Abílio

KNode: failure sending article
by Timothy Murphy 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

When I try to post an article to the newsgroup gmane.comp.php.drupal.user, mirroring the mailing list support(a)drupal.org (to which I am subscribed), I get the error message "Cannot write to file news.gmane.org". I'm posting this partly to see if the failure applies to all gmane lists, or if it is just this one. But I would be interested to know why I get this message. Incidentally, there seems to be no simple way of finding which mailing lists the gmane newsgroups correspond to? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
