Crashes
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I was curious about something. KDE has its own crash handling system.
How does this community track any metrics around code stability if
upstream gets reports? Kontact has segfaulted 20 times on me today.
Each time it says it cannot generate a bug report. Abrtd does not seem
to pick up anything. Shouldn't it? How does this community track
when a recent update suddenly starts making things crash? Kontact was
fine 3 weeks ago. I updated today (3 weeks of patches) and its crashing
all the time to the point its unusable. It won't generate a bug report,
abrtd seems not to notice either.

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.

kig and rkward are currently orphaned (was: Re: Orphaned packages to be retired (~400 during this week))
by Kevin Kofler
Hi,
2 high-profile KDE packages are currently orphaned (not in immediate danger
of retirement according to the time of orphaning, but still):

This is a current part of KDE Applications (as part of the KDE Edu project).
Surely this should not go away.
There is the issue that it depends on Python 2, which should probably be
taken up with upstream (though apparently OpenMandriva has it building with
Python 3, so that might work for us too). See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1738033
> rkward orphan 3 weeks ago
While this is not a part of the KDE Applications bundle, it is a
KDE-Frameworks-5-based application, developed and released on KDE
infrastructure. It is also the best R IDE we currently have in Fedora.
Any takers for these two?

KDE now available on EPEL 8 ... playground
by Troy Dawson
# KDE now available on EPEL 8 playground
Many thanks to all those who have helped make this happen.
## Why playground only
KDE on EPEL 8 really needs to be in modules.[1] So we don't have to
pull all the KDE packages out of normal EPEL8, we have chosen to only
have them in EPEL8 playground, until modules are available in EPEL8.
## How to install
### First: install epel-release
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
### Second: Enable epel-release-playground
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-playground.repo
( set enabled=1 for epel-playground )
### Third: Enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8 [2]
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
### Fourth: install KDE
dnf group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
(Optional) dnf group install kde-desktop
(Optional) dnf group install kde-apps
(Optional) dnf group install kde-media --skip-broken
(Optional) dnf group install kde-education
(Optional) dnf group install kde-software-development
(Optional) dnf group install kf5-software-development
### Fifth: Set sddm / KDE as desktop manager and desktop [3]
dnf install switchdesk system-switch-displaymanager
switchdesk kde
system-switch-displaymanager sddm
systemctl set-default graphical.target
## Non-Essential, but major Packages that didn't build
calligra (An integrated office suite)
-- too many dependencies to build at this time.
telepathy (and everything depending on it)
-- python2 based and required python2-dbus, which isn't in RHEL8
## Footnotes
[1] - Modules needed due to packages not in CRB, QT5 5.11, and a few
other smaller reasons.
[2] - There are several KDE critical packages in codeready-builder
[3] - Currently gdm does not like to start plasma, use sddm instead

Problem with keeping window setting
by Klaus Kolle
Hi
I hope this list can help me with an annoying problem.
I recently changed my monitor on my stationary laptop to an other model.
Since the change I have to configure the monitor settings in the control
panel every time I boot. It forgets that the monitor shall be the
primary display and it also forgets the screen resolution for the monitor.
Which are the configuration files that KDE keeps this information?
And why does it forget my settings?
I'm running Fedora 30 on my Lenovo X201 laptop, which as written above
is stationary, because the power button does not function any more, so
only the power button on the docking station can power it up.
The monitor is a ThinkVision connected to the docking station through a
DVI to HDMI adapter.

F29: kdeinit5 closing unexpectedly every 5 minutes
by John Pilkington
With fully updated F29 I'm suddenly seeing this. 'Please report' but
reporting and debugging seem broken for this. I wonder if it's related
to historic enabling of kdesu and perhaps the kannolo repo?
Suggestions?
