konsole: wrong tab label
by Reindl Harald 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

the latest updates from "updates-testing" are working fine so far only "konsole" don't refresh tab-titles proper when you connect to different ssh-servers - means sometimes it's recent, sometimes it stays on a random machine you connected in the past not a major problem but annoying when you have open several tabs connected to different machines as different users

No Yubioath tray icon after upgrade
by Gerald B. Cox 11 Sep '16

11 Sep '16

Just upgraded to the latest version in updates-testing and the systray icon for yubioath gui has disappeared. I verified that systray option is still checked. This worked fine until the latest upgrade. I just tested on two systems and same result.

Dolphin SMB read only?
by Mark Haney 08 Sep '16

08 Sep '16

I'm not sure if this is a Samba client issue, or an issue in Dolphin, so I'm posting to the KDE and General users lists. Is anyone else connecting to a Windows share and not being able to write to it from Dolphin? I've got a handful of Windows servers that I regularly download items to my Fedora laptop and copy over via Dolphin. Up until the F24 upgrade that is. Originally I thought it was just a bug that would be addressed shortly after F24 was released. Now, though, I can still connect to the shares, but I cannot copy/paste to them. None of them. Is there something simple I'm missing? FYI, it's not a permissions issue as I can login to those shares from a Win10 VM I have on my laptop and write to those same shares without trouble. The Windows servers, other than being patched are the same versions (ie no upgrades recently), so I'm at a loss as to the problem.

Hi All; I just updated my Fedora 23 KDE spin and vmware will not build. I've done the fix to the code : # cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source # tar xf vmmon.tar # mv vmmon.tar vmmon.old.tar # sed -r -i -e 's/get_user_pages(_remote)*/get_user_pages_remote/g' vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c # tar cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only # rm -r vmmon-only # tar xf vmnet.tar # mv vmnet.tar vmnet.old.tar # sed -r -i -e 's/get_user_pages(_remote)*/get_user_pages_remote/g' vmnet-only/userif.c # sed -i -e 's/dev->trans_start = jiffies/netif_trans_update\(dev\)/g' vmnet-only/netif.c # tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only # rm -r vmnet-only andI copied the libraries as presented here: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/523835 but still no luck. Thanks in advance for any advice

Launcher no longer allows reordering Favourites
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

kf5-5.25.0, plasma-5.7.3 It's been a while since I've done this so I don't know if this is new or not, but I used to be able to reorder items in the Favourites menu by simply dragging them. This no longer works. They can be dragged, but can't be dropped anywhere and just stay where they are. Is this a bug or a (mis)feature? Note that "Edit Applications..." doesn't show Favourites as editable. poc

Contacts in KMail
by Timothy Murphy 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Is it possible to edit the contacts KMail/Kontact bring up when entering part of an email To address? I get an extraordinary mishmash of choices, frequently omitting the one I want even if I have e-mailed the person in question several times that week. I can't work out where Kontact gets the its addresses from. Many are from emails years ago, while others I have never heard of. Another annoying feature is that Kontact does not seem to have heard of the address form "Real Name <email.address>", and either mangles the given Real Name, or else ignores it altogether. Needless to say, the Help button does not bring up a Kontact manual. But that seems the norm for KDE software. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

KDE Connect in System-Settings
by Ed Greshko 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

Installed kde-connect-1.0-1.fc24 and everything appears to work just fine. I am able to run remote commands from the kde-connect app on my phone and tablet. However, in "System Settings--->Hardware--->KDE Connect" I see under "Unavailable plugins" an entry for "Execute remote commands". Anyone else seeing this? Bug in System Settings? -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto

Spell checking in KDE applications
by Patrick Boutilier 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Can anybody confirm that spell checking works for them in Fedora 24 in apps such as kwrite? I can not get spell checking to work, even on the LiveCD. First time I try Tools -> Spelling -> Spelling nothing happens. The second and any time after results in a pop up that just says "Check Spelling" with an OK button.
