Rather OT - what is this icon?
by Timothy Murphy 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

What is the syringe-like icon which appears on all plasma pages in the "title bar" at the top of the page, second place on the left? And what exactly is its function? When I left click on it, it turns into a small white disk with a dot in the centre. If I click on it again, it turns back to the syringe icon. When I right click on it, nothing happens. More generally, is there a page online somewhere that outlines the anatomy of a plasma page? When I hover over any icon in the panel I am told what it is; and if I right-click on it I'm told more about it. But when I hover over, or right click on, icons in the title bar I get no response. That seems unfortunate to me. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

black screen showing mouse pointer only.
by Germano Massullo 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

In past ~3 days some plasma related updates have broken something: on many machines with different FOSS VGA drivers I got a black screen showing mouse pointer only. Usually after SDDM login, but sometimes even while kscreenlock is active. The only way to escape from the situation is to reboot the system. Has anybody experienced a similar problem?

KMail
by Timothy Murphy 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

There used to be an option in KMail to download offline, which I take to mean while KMail is not running, but I don't see this now. I'm running KMail under Fedora-23beta/KDE . Also, I'm not really clear what KMail downloads from an IMAP server to a laptop? Is it just the headers, until the email is clicked to read? Or does it download all the recent email when KMail starts (or even earlier, if offline downloading is allowed)? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

kdialog - Session bus not found
by Brad Hubbard 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Is this expected? It's new in f22 AFAICT. $ kdialog --title "Test" --passivepopup "Test" 2 kdialog(10183)/kdeui (kdelibs): Session bus not found To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash) export $(dbus-launch) KCrash: Application 'kdialog' crashing... I understand that the following works just fine but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this is the way it's meant to be now and what the reasoning is? $ export $(dbus-launch) && kdialog --title "Test" --passivepopup "Test" 2 Thanks, Brad

A near freeze of plasma
by Ed Greshko 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

I've been seeing this problem several times a day. I can't reproduce it in any reliable way and I have no idea how I can go about collecting the needed info... Anyway, here is what happens. My most recent experience with "freeze" is not a solid one. The screen is frozen but I can still move the mouse around. Also, if there is a video playing it will freeze but the audio will continue on. I can get out of it by logging in from a terminal and doing a "killall -u myusername" which gets me back to the login screen. I think "kwin" is the most likely suspect and have upgraded to kwin-5.4.0-4 from updates testing as the changelog included this nugget which gave me hope.... * Tue Aug 25 2015 Daniel Vrátil <dvratil(a)redhat.com> - 5.4.0-2 - add upstream patch to fix crash - make sure kwayland-integration is installed for kwin-wayland But no... Still have issues. Any suggestion on what to look for to see if the culprit can be identified? -- It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word.

Kate Printing Issues
by Emilio Recio 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

So, I have a monospaced font in kate for editing programs, and text files. However, whenever I print preview or print, it shows up in a proportional font. I think it may be related to KF5 ... sigh ... again. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344976 Anyone else having these issues printing with Kate? -e The information contained in this transmission contains privileged and confidential information.

KDE / Plasma Irregularities
by Armelius Cameron 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, I keep having issues with KDE/Plasma and I am not sure what to do about this, or if this is known issue with my setup. Typically I connect my laptop (Dell Latitude E6450, AMD Radeon HD 8790M) with two external monitors to have 3 display total. On each display then I can set up different wallpapers. I keep the laptop monitor as the "Primary Display". This is where weirdness starts. For example, upon logout and relogin, my wallpapers on the different displays sometime are randomly swapped. Sometime they're back to the right place after another logout-relogin, but not always. I often cannot create panel ("Default" or "Empty") on the desktop on external monitors. If I right click and add widget, widget usually show up in the correct desktop. But not panel. They either don't show up at all, and then show up in some random place/desktop after re-login, or all just pile on one desktop (e.g. the laptop monitor). Moving panel across desktops doesn't work most of the time, but if I get really lucky (maybe 1 out of 10 tries), I can move Panel across desktop. I've retried these things multiple time and re-started with new user to make sure it's a fresh / new config. At one time I got lucky that I had it set up the way I want it: 1 panel on each desktop on the laptop monitor and the external monitors. It worked for several days. Then at one point I log out and re-login and everything goes crazy with Panels piling up on just one desktop. I have never been able to fix it after that. Another issue is that removing and re-attaching external monitors would often mess up Panel placements, even if it's just supposed to be a single Panel and the primary monitor remains the same (e.g. the laptop monitor). So everytime I remove and attached monitors, all bets are off with regards to Panel placement. Very annoying. I am starting to give up on this, as it's driving me nuts. Is there alternative or workaround ? Would going back to F21 be any better (the last Fedora I used is F12, and things work generally find with KDE desktop there) Thanks for any input. AC

Audio Widget Won't
by Peter G. 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Until the recent upgrade of KDE about 3 or so days ago, my x86_64 desktop computer had troubles with the audio widget: sometimes it showed in the system tray, sometimes it didn't. I had to disable and re-enable it in the tray settings for it to work (sound seemed to work, at least system sound did, but I had no control over the volume). Well, now, since the upgrade, everything's been fine on the desktop and the problem has shifted to the i686 laptop, which, previously, had not displayed the problem. I have logged out and back in, rebooted, etc., but it persists.

Which monospaced font are you using (if not the default)? -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Emilio Recio <Emilio.Recio(a)jefferson.edu> Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2015 11:38 AM To: KDE on Fedora discussion Subject: Kate Printing Issues So, I have a monospaced font in kate for editing programs, and text files.
