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

x2go under KDE on F22
by Roderick Johnstone 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi I'm interested to find out whether the remote desktop system x2go (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php) is going to work in F22 under KDE. x2go is documented to be incompatible with 'KDE 5' (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat) but I notice that there are still seem to be (at least) parts of KDE 4 in F22. Thanks Roderick Johnstone

Yawp
by Mike Chambers 03 Apr '15

03 Apr '15

Will yawp yet work with plasma 5/Newer KDE in Fedora 22? I know it was built for it back in August I think, but it requires an obsoleted kde-workspace-libs or whatever. Or am I missing something? -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"

Disintegrating desktop
by Timothy Murphy 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I'm running Fedora-21/KDE on my laptop. The window I'm watching frequently disintegrates into 8 separate windows, corresponding to my 8 virtual desktops. I know this is caused by moving the mouse into some area. But I cannot think of any occasion when it would actually help. Is there any way of turning this facility off? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

add 'move to screen' to panel menu
by Neal Becker 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

It would be very helpful if 'move to screen' was on the menu on the panel. In the window decorations there is 'move to desktop' as well as 'move to screen', but on the panel there is only 'move to desktop. Is this possible? -- Those who fail to understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

Calendar/KOrganizer, F21: select a valid collection first?
by Richard Z 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Hi, trying to add an event I get the message "select a valid collection first" There is nothing obvious in the dialog where I could select any collection. On top of the dialog window is a "Calendar" dropdown which unfortunately does not drop down when clicked. I did use the Calender in previous versions of Fedora but not since I upgraded to F21. Thanks for any hints, Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers

Ark Unar/Unrar
by Sérgio Basto 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Hi, Last thread about unrar talks about unrar of rpmfusion , but to work correctly we should have unar (without one r) that is free . repoquery unar -i URL : http://unarchiver.c3.cx/commandline Source : unar-1.8.1-5.fc21.src.rpm Description : The command-line utilities lsar and unar are capable of listing and extracting files respectively in several formats including RARv3. unar can serve as a free and open source replacement of unrar. BTW ark from Fedora 21 just works with unar and shouldn't be a package require of ark ? Thanks, -- Sérgio M. B.

Plasma 5 and KDE Workspaces in F22
by Ed Greshko 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Are there plans to allow for both Plasma 5 and KDE Workspaces to coexist in F22? Currently, that seems not possible due to, at least, Network Manager components being obsoleted by Plasma 5 installation. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.

Disable notification sounds in plasma 5
by Ian Malone 26 Mar '15

26 Mar '15

Hi, I've seen some mention of the new settings panel not having all the features yet, is there any way to disable all notification sounds in plasma5 short of individually turning them off? -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

Password policy changes
by Adam Williamson 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Hey, folks. I'm writing with my Server SIG member hat on, here. We've been discussing password policy changes at our meeting today. So the Great Password Policy Bunfight of 2015 was resolved by anaconda creating a mechanism for products/spins to set their own password policy: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/8f24eeaedd7691b6ebe119592e5b… I'm slightly worried, however, about the possibility that everyone goes out and picks a more lenient policy more or less at random and we wind up with different policies on every Fedora medium. That seems like it'd be needlessly confusing to users and difficult to document. I'm wondering if those products/spins intending to set a policy weaker than the default could all agree on the same one, so there'd only be at most two policies to care about (and if all products/spins overrode the upstream default, there'd only be one). The obvious choice would be the pre-F22 policy, which I believe should be: --nostrict --minlen=6 --minquality=50 --nochanges --emptyok (though it's not *entirely* clear from the code - I think it used pwquality upstream defaults - so I may be a bit off). What's the general feeling here? Have other SIGs discussed this yet? Come to any decisions? Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net
