Rawhide: cannot change settings
by Felix Miata 04 Oct '15

04 Oct '15

plasma-systemsettings is installed, but there's nothing corresponding in menu to change desktop settings. systemsettings in Konsole generates not found. cnf generates not found. command-not-found generates not found. Nothing obvious searching with dnf tells what additionally might need to be installed. How to configure desktop in Rawhide? How to search for package to provide missing command functionality? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

plasmashell memory leak?
by Roderick Johnstone 03 Oct '15

03 Oct '15

Hi I can't remember if this issue has been mentioned before on this list but my plasmashell now has a VIRT size of 18g and a resident size of 0.010t, according to top. Seems a little excessive! Time to logout I suppose. Roderick

Speaking to users who've tried alpha builds: do you think there's any hope of this situation improving in Fedora 23? I see we're scheduled for a beta this week.

Do you happen to use transmission or owncloud? If so, it would appear their systray icons are one source of leaks. ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Colin J Thomson <colin.thomson(a)g6avk.co.uk> Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2015 6:58 PM To: KDE on Fedora discussion Subject: Re: Re: A near freeze of plasma ... My only real gripe with P5 now is the amount of RAM it eats over the course of a day.. up to almost 5 gig now and hitting swap! (8 gig on this box) uptime ~ 17 hours. So kquitapp plasmashell resets it nicely.

You mention the systray, I use Yumex-dnf now and then and it's systray icon has never worked in f22, not a problem for me but I'll make sure that it is disabled and keep an eye on the RAM.

Crashes Returned
by Emilio Recio 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

So I have to use LXQt Desktop env because the freezing returned with the latest update of Fedora 22: See the txt file for the packages which were updated. Looks like the bug was reintroduced. This time manually setting the xorg.conf doesn't fix the problem. I even turned off all compositing as just xrender and it still locks up my xorg session. I have no choice than ctrl-alt-backspace ... at least that still works! -e The information contained in this transmission contains privileged and confidential information.

F22/F23 KDE/Plasma freeze after login.
by linux guy 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Long time Fedora user, since RH8. I upgraded my main workstation from F21 to F22. F21 was totally stable and great. F22 has been nothing but trouble. The main issue I have is session freezing that appears to happen right before the KDE (Plasma) desktop is displayed. I have this problem with both nVidia and nouveau drivers. The kernel seems to run fine. I can ctrl alt F3 and start a console session and it runs fine. But I can't get a KDE (Plasma) session to run at all. How do I troubleshoot this ?

kcalc: forced to use the numberblock
by Reindl Harald 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

WTF - after upgrade to F22 and KDE5 you are forced to use the numberblock for * and / because the normal keyboard is ignored from which planet the upstream develoeprs are coming from? there are millions of devices just don't have one as it's not enough that you need to use , on a german setup for a comma while every other software on that planet accepts a dot now we get really funny?

Time/Clock Widget and/or Calendar Widget Does Not Display Events
by Armelius Cameron 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hello, I just installed a fresh Fedora 22 with KDE. For some reason, the Clock widget and Calendar does not display events from Korganizer. In my Korganizer I have both events from Google Calendar and default calendar. The "Digital Clock Settings" or "Calendar Settings" don't even have any checkbox for displaying events, like in earlier version. I am sorry if this was asked before; I've search everywhere but couldn't come up with anything. Is there something I missed ? Thank you, AC.

Cursor movement logs me out
by Timothy Murphy 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

I wonder if anyone else experiences this? Sometimes when I move the cursor with the pointer on my ThinkPad T510 I am apparently logged out, and have to re-enter my password. This doesn't really worry me, as the re-entry after giving my password takes only a second, so it is not a proper logging out. I should say I'm running Fedora 22 with KDE-4.14.11. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin
