Fedora 18, lose wireless WEP connection, cannot enter passphrase when prompted.
by Victor B. Gonzalez
Hello,
I have this issue where I set up a wireless (system) connection using WEP. The
wireless works when it works but at some point, I get a prompt to re-enter the
passphrase *but* no matter what I do, I can't enter anything.
This request from secrets locks me out completely and is annoying because the
only way I know how to solve it, is to reboot. Fedora is completely up to date
using KDE 4.8.4. I'm not sure what to do *but* I am convinced the problem is
in the network manager.
Thank you for your time.

route sound to bluetooth headset?
by Neal Becker
I know I've gotten it to work on F16 (and recall it took some digging), but so
far no luck on F17.
My bluetooth stereo headphone connects OK.
I go to system settings/Phonon, and choose my headset as higher priority for
Music and Communication. But sound still comes from the internal laptop
speakers, not the headset.
Tested with amarok.

libqzeitgeist & zeitgeist
by Fl＠sh
Begin in :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835852
Still can not figure out why the maintainer libqzeitgeist not concerned that ordinary users do not have the opportunity to not use unnecessary functionality for them (meaning the zeitgeist). Now the situation is that users do not even have the opportunity to remove the zeitgeist, but in fact should be the opposite: users wishing to use the zeitgeist, should to install it yourself. It's not just that, so you can easily disable the zeitgeist graphically, but the fact that the zeitgeist is optional, and should be to installed yourself, not without your knowledge.

KMail/IMAP cannot add top-level folder
by Timothy Murphy
When I click on a top-level account in KMail on an IMAP client,
the File->New->Add Folder option is greyed out,
although it is available to create a sub-folder of an existing folder.
I know I can create a new folder by creating a subdirectory .<whatever>
in ~/Maildir on the IMAP server; but is this really the only way?
Also: is there any way of re-ordering the folders in KMail ?
I created a new folder in the above fashion,
but it is listed out of alphabetical order.

FYI: virtuoso-opensource
by Martin Airs
Good day all,
Since updating to KDE 4.8.95 I noticed that nepomuk searching had stopped
working, since nepomuk has always been something I've only played with and
never really relied upon I never mentioned it.
However I have now got it working again by downgrading virtuoso-opensource
from virtuoso-opensource-6.1.5-2 to virtuoso-opensource-6.1.4-4
download the 6.1.4 version from koji at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=294180
get virtuoso-opensource and virtuoso-opensource-apps, and then
yum downgrade /path/to/virtuoso-*.rpm
there are no dependencies to worry about either
then disable/enable desktop search and virtuoso should reindex and then
dolphin and krunner should now find your indexed documents.

Coordinating https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/InitialExperience with firsboot, anaconda
by Miloslav Trmač
Hello,
it seems that not all relevant parties have been talking to each
other; if anyone else should be involved, please add them.
In short, a new Fedora feature
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/InitialExperience was
proposed, replacing firstboot for the GNOME spin (only) and
integrating per-system and per-user configuration.
The original suggestion was for non-GNOME spins (including the DVD
installation) would continue using firsboot.
Now it turns out that anaconda plans to do more setup during the
initial installation (including setting up the clock and adding an
initial user), perhaps making all of firstboot unnecessary on non-live
installations. OTOH for live-{CD,DVD} installations, the same
clock/user screens would be displayed in firstboot, sharing the code;
if "initial experience" plans to support firstboot screens, this (and
the presumed firstboot module API changes) would affect it.
Can you all talk to each other and figure out a definite plan, please?
The integrated nature of IE goes against the "one installed system
with multiple installed desktop environments" concept, which is sort
of acceptable as long as both IE and firsboot have active maintainers,
but asking the user about the same things both in anaconda and IE
wouldn't do.
* Which settings/screens happen in anaconda?
* Which settings/screens move between anaconda and firsboot/IE (and
using what mechanism)?
* Which settings/screens happen both in firstboot and IE (and on which
installation paths)? What code will be shared?
* Which settings will be governed by each desktop environment
individually? How does the transition between per-system and per-user
settings happen if IE doesn't want the user to log in during the
process?
* Which parts of the GNOME stack will have to be installed on
non-GNOME spins, or from the installation DVD when installing a
non-GNOME desktop only?
(and other things that I might have forgotten)
Thank you,
Mirek
