Notifications - fails to hide when no unread notifications
by John Horne
Hello,
Using plasma6/wayland I recently upgraded from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40. No
problems with that, however I have noticed that when a notification occurs a
pop appears (as it should), if I then clear/close the notification the popup
window remains saying "No unread notifications".
The issue is that the popup remains unless I click on something (e.g konsole),
it then hides itself. I am fairly sure that under F39 and before, if there were
no unread notifications then the popup itself would automatically hide itself
(after the relevant time). The hide popup configuration setting is set to 5
seconds.
So, do others see this too? Am I right that the popup used to automatically
hide itself (after 5 seconds in my case) if there were no unread notifications?
I have tried to find if this has already been reported, and it doesn't seem to
have been, so before doing so I just want to make sure that it is something
that has changed.
Thanks,
John.

Assistance with SSH Key Integration with KDE Wallet
by Lukas Ruzicka
Dear Fedora KDE team,
I am reaching out for assistance with an issue I'm encountering regarding
the storage of SSH key passwords in the KDE Wallet. I have set up my
environment to prompt for my SSH key password using a graphical dialog, but
I am facing difficulties with having the password stored or reused by KDE
Wallet.
1.
*Configuration Details*: I have configured my system by setting the
SSH_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE environment variables in
~/.config/environment.d/ssh_askpass.conf with the following contents
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaskpass
SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=prefer
This setup successfully triggers a dialog box asking for my SSH key
password.
2.
*Issue*: Although the dialog appears and allows me to enter my password,
it does not store the password in the KDE Wallet, nor does it seem to
retrieve or use any stored passwords from there.
3.
*Current Workaround*: Currently, the only method that results in the
desired behavior is by exporting these variables directly in a terminal
session, which is not ideal for system-wide or automated use.
4.
*Question*: Could you provide guidance on how this integration is
supposed to function? Specifically, I am looking to understand the correct
setup to ensure that SSH passwords are both stored in and retrieved from
the KDE Wallet seamlessly.
I appreciate any documentation, tips, or personal experiences you could
share regarding this matter. Thank you very much for your support and for
the contributions you make to the Fedora KDE community.
Best regards,

qt6 compiles - leftover testserver files
by Troy Dawson
I am trying to build Plamsa 6 on CentOS Stream 10 on Copr. I'm starting
off with qt6.
Except for a few dependencies (and alot of dependencies for webengine)
everything built fairly well. Except for one thing.
There are a few files not packaged, and they all seem to be related to
testserver.
I've looked through macros and configs and googled, and I'm just not
finding anything about what is going on.
I am working around it by removing the left over files, but it would be
nice if we didn't have to have these "rm -f" lines in the spec files.
These are the packages I'm having problems with, along with the files that
I'm having to remove.
qt6-qtgrpc
- /usr/tests/shared/grpc_testserver
qt6-qtopcua
- %{_qt6_bindir}/open62541-testserver
qt6-qtquick3dphysics
- /usr/tests/baseline/data/
qt6-qtgraphs
- /usr/tests/auto/
qt6-qthttpserver
- /usr/tests/auto/
Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to find the real
problem here.
Thanks

double check that your kde machines are being counted
by Troy Dawson
Although many Fedora KDE users install their machines via the KDE live
installer, there are many other people who do installs differently. I tend
to download the Fedora Server edition, install a minimal install, and then
build my desktop up from there.
But as I was generating some Fedora statistics, I wondered if my own
machines were being counted. Turns out they weren't. Well, they were
being counted, but as Fedora Servers.
Figuring I'm not the only person doing what I do, I decided to write this
quick writeup.
Check how your machine is being counted:
rpm -qa | grep fedora-release-identity
This shows how your machine is showing up on Fedora's CountMe. If you are
running KDE and want to be counted, it should be
fedora-release-identity-kde
If it isn't, proceed to the next step.
If you want to be counted as running Fedora KDE, do the following
dnf -y install fedora-release-kde fedora-release-identity-kde
--allowerasing
The --allowerasing is important. A Fedora system is only allowed one
fedora-release-identity package installed at a time, and it needs to erase
the one that is originally installed.
Hopes this helps
