hidden wifi how?
by Genes MailLists
I am running F15 fully updated with:
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.54.20110812git.nm09.fc15.x86_64
There is a wifi network which has hidden SSID (I don't like this but it
is there nonetheless). I need to connect to it.
At one point I could click on a list of hidden networks - at another
point there was a place I could hand type in the hidden SSID - now there
is nothing - it is not showing up in the list and there seems to be no
way to connect to it.
The network is configured, and password etc are fine when I choose
"manage connections" - however all I can do there is view or edit the
details but not connect.
So, how do I ask the applet to connect to a known hidden wifi network?
Thanks!

new KDE on RHEL/Centos/SL 6?
by Hans Ecke
Hi all-
Is there a way to run a newer KDE version on RHEL6 or its derivatives?
RHEL6 comes with KDE SC 4.3. Upgrading to 4.7 would be pretty sweet.
What version of Qt is required to run KDE4.7?
The 4.7 release announcement says "In order to get the most out of these
releases, we strongly recommend to use the latest version of Qt, as of
today 4.7.4. This is necessary in order to assure a stable experience,
as some improvements made to KDE software have actually been done in the
underlying Qt framework." Thats pretty vague....
Cheers

by Timothy Murphy
Is there any way of keeping KNode in sync
if one changes (temporarily) from one ISP to another?

Toolbar freezing
by Temlakos
My toolbar keeps freezing about five minutes into a session. (This
affects only one of my accounts; another account, that I use less
frequently, doesn't show this problem.) After that, if I don't already
have a Konsole session loaded, I have to shut the machine down the hard
way--by holding down the Power button for five seconds. Worse yet, I
cannot start any new programs without first shutting down and restarting.

KMail "Socket operation timed out"
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running KMail under Fedora-15 on a laptop
with an "Onda MC833UP" (ID: 1ee8:0014") broadband dongle.
Everything works fine (eg firefox, knode) except KMail,
which I'm using to collect email from an IMAP server.
I get an error when I try to "Check Mail",
I get the message "Could not connect to host ...
Socket operation timed out".
I should say that everything works fine
when the internet is accessed with WiFi.
Also I can telnet 143 and get the message
"* OK Dovecot ready"
Has anyone had this problem when using a dongle?
Or can anyone suggest a possible solution?

In Kmail, is there a way to.....
by Martin Airs
Good day all,
I was wondering if there was a way to put a custom field into an address book
contact to allow html emails, and then have kmail recognise this and allow
html emails to be shown in the preview window?
thanks in advance

Update GTK+ Fonts, Etc (For KDE)
by Richard Heck
Hi,
Just upgraded to F15, and all seems well...except the menu font in GTK
apps (e.g., Thunderbird) is too small. I can't seem to find how to
change this. I run under KDE, and seem to recall that there are (or
were) ways to do this, nonetheless.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Google did not lead to anything
helpful.

Wallet not working after system crash
by Emmett Culley
This morning I had a system crash on a nearly up to date Fedora 15 machine. After resetting the machine I could no longer use any app that required wallet access. It took me a while to figure out the cause and only did after I removed and re-installed kopete (kdenetwork), after which a wallet dialog did pop up, but was empty and had to be created again. Then I looked again at all the apps that wouldn't run and found that they all would normally cause an access to the wallet, but instead just timed out.
Even after updating the machine the problem persists.
Where can I look for possible corruption? Or what can I do to cause the wallet work again. Is there a log I can review?
