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

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-19.20151206.fc23 (re)enabled dri3 by default
by Rex Dieter 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

In the not-too-distant past, a xorg-x11-drv-intel update reverted back to default dri2 because dri3 was to unstable and too-often resulted in plasmashell freezes, see also: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-8616 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223477 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223477 A new update came this past week turning dri3 back on, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-606ca05253 Please help test this if you are able. For *me*, it's pretty good, but I've now experienced at least 3 plasmashell deadlocks (when left idle and screen off) similar to past results when using dri3. And... oddly, chrome seems to freeze similar to plasmashell sometimes too. -- Rex

SDDM: restart don't kill greeter/helper-prcoesses
by Reindl Harald 05 Apr '16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214782 that's not much funny if you are playing around with a own theme and restart the service multiple times or after updates as recently openssl you need to kill the zombie processes manually

When I click on a mailto link in chrome it brings up kmail and I want us thunderbrid. I did what I've done in the past and used xdg-mime to change the setting. But this is what I see..... [egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto' KMail2.desktop [egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime default mozilla-thunderbird.desktop 'x-scheme-handler/mailto' [egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-mime query default 'x-scheme-handler/mailto' KMail2.desktop [egreshko@meimei ~]$ cat /home/egreshko/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [Default Applications] text/html=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop; x-scheme-handler/mailto=mozilla-thunderbird.desktop Is there something else that needs doing? -- In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from computers altogether.

konsole memory usage
by Dmitrij S. Kryzhevich 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi, I had already tried to ask here [1] with the issue, but has no result. may be next tine will be with more luck? Konsole eat memory all the time it running. What can I do with that? I tried to run it under valgrind and failed. May be I don't know valgrind enough. In my case konsole add ~1Gb memory in use every day. Any ideas?

display brightness not increasing on key events
by Neal Becker 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Bad subject line, perhaps? Problem is, on battery, kde is configured to dim display, and switch off after 2 min. But when someone hits a key of mouse, the display is not increasing brightness. This used to work correctly on my lenovo laptop, but for the past couple of months no longer. I can manually turn the display brightness up with Fn-F6. The display is completely off, and for a long time I thought kde was just hung, but now I see the display is just turned down all the way.

code of conduct reminder
by Rex Dieter 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

The fedora kde sig discussed the matter of fostering high-quality community interactions in today's irc meeting, and decided to act as follows: * Add references/reminders to fedora code of conduct in irc channels/topics, and mailing lists * Periodically review community conduct (primarily in our weekly kde-sig meetings) * Enact a policy of enforcement of CoC more strictly than in the past This message serves as a friendly reminder that the kde-sig expects a high level of conduct and collaboration as outlined in: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct For completeness, I append its content below. This message also serves as a reminder that these expectations will be enforced in accordance with: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement If anyone feels any level of unfriendliness or bad behavior, please highlight it here onlist or contact individual kde-sig members (me included). Thank you all for your consideration. -- Rex ------------------------------- Code of Conduct The Fedora community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the distribution from coding through to marketing. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they're using project resources. This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to be excellent to each other. Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Fedora community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Fedora community and with users of Fedora. When we disagree, we try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Fedora is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of Fedora comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere, rather offer to help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes.
