nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
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.

session restore broken?
by Glenn Holmer
After the latest updates, saved session restore no longer restarts
Thunderbird and Firefox. Is anyone else seeing this?

F24 & F25 entire panel, and desktop context menu, missing
by Felix Miata
I have 32 bit F23, F24 & F25 installed on an i845G test machine, host gx260.
Plasma seems to work normally, though painfully slowly, on F23. IceWM works
fine on all. F24 was created as a live (DNF) upgrade from F23 last night,
while F25 was created similarly from F23 originally and later F24 many weeks ago.
Deleting the k* files from ~/.config doesn't help with $SUBJECT. Replacing
~/.config with counterparts from F23 or F25 doesn't help, other than getting
Konsole to autostart and thus allow me to do something besides shove the
mouse pointer around. No .xsession-errors is being generated.
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/14439 shows a similar result.
Tail of ps -A run right before closing F25 session via script run in Konsole
showed as follows:

What, if anything, can I do that might lead to whatever this bug is getting
fixed? I don't see any open BRC bugs that I can recognize as being on point.
This is not the first F24 installation I've had acting similarly. Total F24
installations here, both 32 bit and 64, is upwards of a dozen.
BTW, the restore previous session setting is not producing a restoring of the
Konsole session left open on session close, only an empty desktop.

DNF group install of "KDE Plasma Workspaces" fails
by Michael Weiner
I am trying to install the KDE Plasma Workspaces on a fresh installation of
Fedora 23 via the Live image and it keeps throwing up dependencies for
xorg-x11-drv packages that do not exist. I have a couple F23 installs
laying around here and they aren't installed on any of them, nor are they
up in the public repository (
http://mirror.cs.princeton.edu/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/23/Every...).
And what is even odder, is that everything I try to run 'dnf groupinstall
"KDE Plasma Workspaces" it comes back with another xorg-x11-drv package it
says it can't find, and neither can i. Here is what it is doing:
[root@lri-106830 temp]# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
Last metadata expiration check: 2:47:12 ago on Wed May 25 08:17:24 2016.
No package xorg-x11-drv-freedreno available.
Error: Unable to find a mandatory group package.
[root@lri-106830 temp]# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

No package xorg-x11-drv-geode available.
Error: Unable to find a mandatory group package.
[root@lri-106830 temp]# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
Last metadata expiration check: 2:47:32 ago on Wed May 25 08:17:24 2016.
No package xorg-x11-drv-omap available.
Error: Unable to find a mandatory group package.
[root@lri-106830 temp]# dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"

No package xorg-x11-drv-armsoc available.
Error: Unable to find a mandatory group package.
And the following are the only ones installed and also in the repository:
[root@lri-106830 temp]# rpm -qa | grep xorg-x11-drv
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.12-3.fc23.x86_64

Any ideas? Thank you in advance

KMail/sendmail problem
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE,
and sendmail/email (through KMail) is failing.
When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message",
and journalctl has the entry
"sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?)
after start: No such file or directory".
I've checked, and sendmail.pid is in place:
==================
[tim@william ~]$ sudo cat /run/sendmail.pid
2829
/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h
==================
Googling for the journalctl entry,
I see people have been encountering this problem for years.
But I haven't seen any solution suggested.
Several of the comments suggest that it is a systemd problem.
If anyone can offer advice, or even elucidation, I should be most grateful.
Ps I posted this to fedora.general,
and was advised to post it to fedora-testing.
When I sent it there I was advised (by Ed Greshko) to send it here,
since he thought it was a KMail problem,
rather than systemd.
I have no problem sending SMTP mail with Thunderbird and Evolution.
