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.

KDE Telepathy Bonjour account: This IM Account cannot be created - a
Telepathy Connection Manager named 'salut' is missing or it cannot
handle
protocol 'local-xmpp'. Please try installing salut with your package manager.
by Dennis Schridde
Hi!
I was trying to setup a Bonjour (local XMPP) account in KDE Plasma System Settings for KDE Telepathy. In `System Settings > Online Accounts > Create`, I clicked "Bonjour" in the list on the right. This action was answered with an error dialogue box: "This IM Account cannot be created - a Telepathy Connection Manager named 'salut' is missing or it cannot handle protocol 'local-xmpp'. Please try installing salut with your package manager." However, `telepathy-salut` is already installed on my machine. Does anyone have an idea how to debug this, or where I would find the actual error message that led to this?
I am using Fedora 27 KDE, with telepathy-salut currently being at version 0.8.1 (release 12.fc27), telepathy-mission control at version 5.16.4 (epoch 1, release 4.fc27) and ktp-accounts-kcm at version 17.12.1(release 1.fc27).
Best regards,
Dennis

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter
Looking over some broken deps reports, I came across some old packages:
kdebindings
smokeqt
smokekde
qyoto (csharp/mono)
kimono (csharp/mono)
ruby-qt
ruby-korundum
perl-Qt
Of these, the only one that's not a pure leaf package is perl-Qt (debconf-
kde depends on it).
any comment or objection to considering orphaning most (all minus
smokeqt/perl-Qt) or all of these ?

Emacs key binding in KDE Plasma 5?
by Sherman Grunewagen
Just moved from Fedora 21 to F25. Under F21 I had a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 which contained
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
This enabled basic Emacs cursor motion keyboard commands in text input boxes throughout KDE,
Firefox, &c. (Outside of input boxes, KDE shortcuts ruled.)
How can I get this same behaviour for Plasma 5 w/in F25? From reading around, I've created
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
and inserted
[Settings]
gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs
in this empty file. This has given the desired result in Firefox and Thunderbird,
but not w/in arbitrary text boxes in KDE (e.g. Alt-F2). The ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file is still
intact, by the way. It seems to have no effect. Any ideas?

SDDM Themes not working
by Gerald B. Cox
I find that I now cannot select themes - and I'm getting either a solid
white or blue background when SDDM starts.
When I tried to test, this is what I received:
sddm-greeter --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze
[11:43:09.032] (II) GREETER: High-DPI autoscaling not Enabled
[11:43:09.108] (EE) GREETER: Socket error: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer:
Invalid name"
[11:43:09.109] (EE) GREETER: Cannot connect to the daemon - is it running?
[11:43:09.317] (II) GREETER: Loading
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml...
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER:
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or
directory
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER:
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or
directory
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: Fallback to embedded theme
Wanted to see if there was a quick fix or if this is known before I create
a bug report.
I didn't see anything on bugzilla, but might have missed it.
Thanks!

32bit F28: black window in systemsettings -> <various> plus panel
clock stuck on UTC instead of local
by Felix Miata
dnf system-upgraded from F27 that had had kf5* and qt5* removed first (not enough space on disk
otherwise with freespace consumed by 1200+ rpms)
Plasma added back via dnf post-upgrade
/etc/adjtime is set to LOCAL
system time is correct
panel clock display in IceWM is correct (local)
clock settings have no effect on displayed time in Plasma panel
regional settings cannot be checked due to systemsettings blackness
no clues in .xsession-errors
no apparent clues in journal
systemsettings -> workspace theme crashes systemsettings
systemsettings -> fonts is black window
systemsettings -> icons crashes systemsettings
systemsettings -> desktop behavior crashes systemsettings
systemsettings -> multimedia crashes systemsettings
systemsettings -> everything else produces expected response
Can anyone suggest how to fix?

Amarok, Juk & Elisa
by Joe Buckley
I hope this is appropriate. I'm not a contributor, but I am a long-time
KDE (Fedora) user who has an extensive music collection on my lap-top.
Since I saw the discussion about dropping Amarok (because of the use of
qt4???) I installed and tried to configure juk. My experience is - it's
not quite ready for prime time.
Once juk is given a directory it creates a "collection" (it's a
surprisingly confusing term!). That collection cannot be changed (or at
least, the way to change it is lost in the mists of antiquity).
Apparently, "collection" is not "directory" or "folder".
A folder, once created, cannot be removed without crashing juk. At
least, I found a way to create a folder that crashes juk when any
attempt to remove from juk is made.
Playlists are displayed in no known order. It is certainly not alphabetical.
Column order cannot be changed.
Changes to the settings (like, removing the comment column) are not
retained from session to session.
I'm starting to hope that Amarok is kept in the live image.

Replace kwrite with kate
by #LRD
Hello together
I am 20 years old and new in the OpenSource World. Since a half year i use Fedora Spins KDE. For me its the most stable distribution i ever used (I tried nearly any big KDE Distro).
I will start to contribution on this. My problem is that i am not god in programing and don't have much time because work, education....
I hope i can contribute with some ideas to make Fedora KDE a more consistent Distribution.
In Fedora KDE is kwrite installed as default. For me it make more sence to install kate as default, because its much more powerful.
greetings from Switzerland

Does anyone know the meaning of that error code in kwalletd5?
