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:

[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: 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!

Release blocking status and *so many* default applications
by Matthew Miller
As everyone knows, the KDE Plasma desktop is a release-blocking
artifact for Fedora releases. KDE is important to us, and we don't want
to go out the door with it broken.
But, there's a problem that's coming up more and more. One of the
release criteria is that all of the default applications need to have
their basic functionality tested.* This is particularly a problem with
KDE, because the SIG has decided to ship so many applications
(apparently three web browswers, now).
I'd like to propose that we either:
1) significantly reduce the number of default apps to a more managable
number, or
2) remove this particular blocking test from KDE in particular.
In either case, it would really be helpful to have more release-time
validation of shipped applications from the KDE sig.
