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?

KDE rebuild for RHEL8
by Troy Dawson
I know that RHEL8 isn't out yet, but I'd like to run KDE on my RHEL8
Beta. Even if it's just the basic KDE desktop.
I'm fine building it myself, but I'm having a hard time figuring out
the rebuild flow.
If I (or anyone) were to rebuild KDE for RHEL8, where do I start? and
then what's next?
There are base QT5 packages in RHEL8 beta. Do you think I would need
to rebuild QT5? Or just start with RHEL8's QT5 packages.
Thanks

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: 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!

kate - turn off "Highlight Selected Text"
by Troy Dawson
I'm really liking the kate that comes with kde5, except for one thing.
It comes with "Highlight Selected Text"[1] turned on by default.
It looks like with kde4, this was a plugin that you could turn on and
off, but with kde5, it's builtin, and as far as I can tell, you can't
turn it off.
Does anyone know how to turn this off?
This looks like something I might want once in a while, but having it
on constantly totally throws me off, because the highlighing is very
bright.

Finding orphaned KDE packages in Fedora
by Kai Bojens
Is there an easy way, maybe even a list of orphaned KDE packages in Fedora? The
overwiew of all orphaned packages in Fedora is a little bit overwhelming and
seems to have no search for SIG packages …

I wasn't sure which individuals to tag into the KDE ticket[1] for the
