Calling all reviewers: The KDE SIG needs you!
by Steve Cossette
Good evening all! Hope you had a great weekend.
We are well underway to add all kf6 packages into Fedora, but we need your
help. We have +/- 78 packages to bring into Fedora in preparation for the
release of KDE 6 which is currently planned around February 2024.
Right now, we have reviews up for 13 packages, and 1 review complete.
Neal's been helping with those, but they are too much for him alone. And we
are adding more review requests every day.
This is where you come in: If you feel comfortable doing Fedora package
reviews, we invite you to please take a look at this tracker post:
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/383#comment-873241 where we update
on a daily basis the status of packages, whether they are ready for review
or not, and with the direct link to the reviews.
Thank you very much for your help!

Podman Install failure
by Mark @ GMail
I think this happened when I last updated too (last saturday, 23/3/23).
The podman (v 4.7.0) fails to install with error message
Transaction test error: file /usr/libexec/podman/gvforwarder from
install of gvisor-tap-vsock-gvforwarder-6:0.7.0-6.fc38.x86_64 conflicts
with file from package podman-gvproxy-5:4.6.0-1.fc38.x86_64
Last week I excluded it from my main update and then added it
individually afterwards and that worked. However, today even this
strategy fails.

F39 - two kmix icons in tray
by Felix Miata
1-has mute indicated, and when hovered, says no devices found
2-says volume at 64%, HDA Intel-Master
Aplay works.
I tried to get rid of #1, and wound up with no system tray at all. When I tried to
get it back, I wound up with a bunch of system trays, each with 2 kmix icons.
1-What's the secret to removing unwanteds from the system tray?
2-What needs to be deleted to restore an only panel to nothing but defaults?

NVIDIA Optimus and KDE
by sbob
All;
I just installed Fedora 38 KDE spin on a laptop with an NVIDIA card.
Per the rpmfusion HOWTO NVIDIA page I have an optimus card since this
command finds my card:
# lspci | grep -e 3D
0000:01:00.0 3Dcontroller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050
Mobile] (rev a1)
The docs say that GDM/Gnome detects it automatically but I am running
KDE, can someone point me to the right guide to use for KDE? Do I just
install akmod-nvidia ?
Thanks in advance

HPLIP cannot detect printers
by sbob
All; I am running Fedora 38, and I have the following installed:
hplip-common-3.23.5-8.fc38.x86_64 hplip-libs-3.23.5-8.fc38.x86_64
hplip-3.23.5-8.fc38.x86_64 hplip-gui-3.23.5-8.fc38.x86_64
I am trying to setup a new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw
when I run hp-setup and plug in the printer's IP address in the 'Manual
Discovery' box I get this:
HPLIP cannot detect printers in your network.
This may be due to existing firewall settings blocking the required
ports. When you are in a trusted network environment, you may open the
ports for network services like mdns and slp in the firewall. For
detailed steps follow the link.
