Bug#1010576: akonadi-server: Akonadi/Kontact hangs after resuming from standby
I really wonder if this hang has something to do with a dedicated setup because not many users seem to be affected. Nevertheless the bug is really annoying.
Bug#1010576: akonadi-server: Akonadi/Kontact hangs after resuming from standby
Exact same behavior here. I have this behavior for about 6-8 weeks. After each resume I have to stop akonadi and then kill mariadb (normal kill is nossible due to apparmor, only kill -9 works). After that, akonadi works again. Thanks!
mysqld not stopped on logout
Hi all, for a few days I observe a mysqld daemon which cannot be stopped. I saw some hanging "Synching..." jobs in akonadiconsole. When I logged out and logged in on command line (without Plasma), I saw that mysqld is still running for the local user. Terminating the process didn't work, only 'kill -9' helped. Even if everything is normally working and I logout from an empty Plasma session, I still see the mysqld daemon running. Is it normal that /usr/sbin/mysqld (mariadb-server-core-10.6) needs 'kill -9' to terminate? Thanks! Frank

As you said, the owner of a read-only file A is of course able to create a copy B of that file, write the changed content into B, make B read-only, make A writable and remove A. However, an editor should never do this automatically! It should ask if the user really wants to change the read-only file.

Okular slow search in PDF contents
Hi all, for a few weeks I experience that the Okular search in the table of contents of a PDF is very slow. I mean, you go to the search bar right above the 'contents' and type in a word. While typing searching is performed for every written letter. This used to work very well even for bigger PDF files like the ARM manual but something changed and this search function is very slow and Okular is unresponsive while typing + searching. I'm using Debian/Sid with an up-to-date KDE. Any idea what changed recently? Thanks! Frank

I have the access granted: "Akonadi Resources for Google Services" has access to Gmail kaccounts-providers is already installed. I removed the password from the Google SMTP account and tried to send an e-mail using XOAUTH2. With SSL/TLS sending fails quite quickly with "server closed connection". With STARTTLS it takes some time before it times out. No dialog or web browser appears asking for any password. As soon as I switch back to PLAIN then KDE asks for the password and after providing it I was able to send the e-mail. I wonder if the missing authentication dialog for XOAUTH2 is the problem and how I can resolve it or how I can debug it. Thanks, Frank

Kubuntu 19.04 though. That's an promising information. Given that Kmail with XOAUTH2 works for you on Kubuntu 19.04 I will check if there are any differences in the XOAUTH2 plugin between Debian and Kubuntu 19.04. Thanks! Frank

Bug#913679: kopete: libjingle-call keeps crashing
Same problem here.
The reason are typos in the kopete-17.08.3-openssl-1.1.patch patch which is
supposed to make the code work with openssl 1.1. There are two places where
the patch does
+#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x1010L
static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
BIO_TYPE_BIO,
"socket",
@@ -98,16 +99,36 @@ static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
};
BIO_METHOD* BIO_s_socket2() { return(_socket); }
+#else
+static BIO_METHOD *methods_socket = NULL;
+
+static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) {
+ if (methods_socket == NULL) {
+ methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (),
"socket");
+ if (methods_socket == NULL ||
+ BIO_meth_set_write (methods_socket, socket_write) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_read (methods_socket, socket_read) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_puts (methods_socket, socket_puts) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_gets (methods_socket, 0) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_ctrl (methods_socket, socket_ctrl) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_create (methods_socket, socket_new) ||
+ BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free))
+ return NULL;
+}
+ return methods_socket;
+}
+#endif
The problem are the calls to the BIO_meth_set_XXX functions. Here it's an
error if the return code is 0, not != 0! Therefore a correct patch would look
like
+#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x1010L
static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {
BIO_TYPE_BIO,
"socket",
@@ -98,16 +99,36 @@ static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = {

+
+static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) {
+ if (methods_socket == NULL) {
+ methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (),
"socket");
+ if (methods_socket == NULL ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_write (methods_socket, socket_write) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_read (methods_socket, socket_read) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_puts (methods_socket, socket_puts) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_gets (methods_socket, 0) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_ctrl (methods_socket, socket_ctrl) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_create (methods_socket, socket_new) ||
+ !BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free))
+ return NULL;
+}
+ return methods_socket;
+}
+#endif
Again, the patch contains these calls twice so please make sure to fix both
occurrences. And this problem applies to both kopete 17.08.3-2 (Sid) as well
as to kopete 18.08.3-1.
Please fix these packages because kopete seems to be the only available Jabber
client on Plasma. Telepathy doesn't work for me...
Thanks!

I just re-enabled this settings and are back to SSL/TLS / clear text but one of the benefits of the recent kdepim upgrade is being able to disable that setting finally (and not getting the annoying reminders from Google).

Re: 18.08; imap.googlemail.com vs. imap.gmail.com; "akonadi resources for google services"
Since the recent kdepim upgrade I cannot read e-mails with kmail anymore. First I thought I can fix it like proposed by inkbottle but my problem seems to be different: When kmail tries to synchronize the imap resource for my gmail account then the QtWebKit window is shown asking for my credentials. I pass my usual login name and then press the 'Next' button. But nothing happens and the same window appears a few times asking for the same information. Finally I found out that /usr/bin/akonadi_imap_resource is crashing. I will open a bug upstream. Please let me know if someone runs into a similar issue and found a workaround.

Hanging plasmashell
Hi all, since some days I experience arbitrary hangs of plasmashell. When this happens, neither the application menu, the task bar nor any systray application respond to any mouse click. Alt+F2 doesn't work either and there is nothing else than "killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell" to fix the problem. This is Debian/Sid, all packages up-to-date. Does anybody else experience similar problems? Frank

Request for cherry-picking konsole: Support for ECMA-48 REP
Dear Debian KDE maintainers, since a few months ncurses screen output is kind of scrambled under certain conditions, for example when configuring the Linux kernel with 'make menuconfig'. The reason is missing support for ECMA-48 REP in konsole. See https://phabricator.kde.org/D10064 and corresponding commit b8a2f0cfd0d0f894687953c3f50f2fb163e8690d in konsole. Would it be possible to cherry-pick that change for the current konsole package in Sid? IMHO that would make sense as it fixes a bug which is now triggered with the ncurses update from 20170729. Thanks for your great work! Frank

Regarding "what does it buy you": I was basically asking because akonadictl fsck reported many (unfix-able) warnings for a KDE environment I was using for many years (and it was upgraded several times). Unfortunately I cannot provide the exact warning text as I don't use this box anymore. Kind regards, Frank PS: I really wonder why some of my E-mails don't reach the list.

Re: KDEPIM 17.08: The whole thing works
Martin, thank you for sharing your experiences! Regarding the database optimization: Would it be possible to remove the complete database in certain cases? AFAIR, the Akonadi DB does not store the messages itself, it only stores indexing information, probably also flags / message tags etc... Frank

KDE standard browser
Hi, I'm using Debian/Sid and have all packages more or less up-to-date. Thanks to the Debian KDE team for their hard work in keeping KDE on Debian up-to-date and to several volunteers on this list (Martin and others) for providing many useful information! At the moment I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my KDE system. I use two Internet browsers: One browser for doing quick tasks like asking Google, browsing some repositories News sites. And of course Firefox as fallback if the web site does complicated things. I don't want to use Firefox as default browser because it's too heavy and takes a 2-3 seconds to start up even if the system activity calmed down (8GB RAM, Sandy Bridge, SSD). My favourite browser was konqueror. It worked quite well with the WebKit rendering engine. But the qualitiy did not improve and lately I experienced hangs under regular conditions. Looking for a new lightweight browser on KDE I stumbled over QupZilla. AFAIK it uses WebKit and works pretty well. There are some tiny issues, for example when using QupZilla as standard browser and clicking on a URL in another application, the new URL is always opened as new Tab of an existing browser instance -- not what I want. I wonder if there are other suggestions for a lightweight browser on KDE. I've seen that konqueror has got some updates but there is no active maintainer. Frank

E-mail search in KMail
Hi, I'm using latest Sid. Which service is responsible for indexing my emails? My emails are located in local folders. I have Akonadi running as well as Baloo. I've restricted Baloo file indexing to $HOME/Mail but I can search only in emails which are older than a few days, in other words, recent emails are not part of the index anymore. So what do I have to do to get indexing my local emails working? I run baloo-kf5, do I need to run baloo4 to index kmail (which is still from KDE4)? Thanks, Frank

The apt database is not updated automatically here but you are right: The huge I/O load is only visible the first time I login after the machine was booted. Today it too ~100 seconds to login. When I logout+login it takes about 10 seconds and disk activity is almost zero (8GB RAM here). I assume that some disk caches are checked for consistency. I never had similar problems with KDE 4.

Huge disk I/O during login (Plasmashell?)
Hi, for a few weeks I experience a huge disk I/O when opening the KDE5 session. Logging in from sddm takes ~2 minutes. I run Sid with the latest updates: The usual plasmashell desktop with Kmail/Akonadi/ Baloo but file indexing is disabled. I have a local mail folder of ~2.7G and Akonadi/mysqld show some activity during session start. Just a normal notebook hard disk (no SSD). But I think that ''plasmashell --shut-up'' provides a significant amount of disk I/O when opening the session and that's weird. I have almost no activities configured, only panel + task bar, a single static background image. Any idea how to decrease the disk load during login? Thanks, Frank
Konqueror still usable?
Hi, I'm using KDE for many years and I was always using the Konqueror web browser in situations where I need a quick web browser and didn't want to start the more heavy firefox or chrome browser. For instance when reading some news page. I have flash and java disabled for Konqueror but for some time using Konqueror is more and more annoying. Adblock needs manual tweaking and I experience strange delays when opening web pages, could be script-related. Does it still make sense to use Konqueror in certain situations, are there some hints for improving the configuration or should I just uninstall it?

kmail + kwallet
Hi, Talking about kwallet bugs: since some weeks or even months I have the strange behavior that kmail wouldn't start again in the same X session after I terminated it. But there is a workaround. The following happens: 1. start kmail 2. do some kmail work 3. terminate kmail 4. wait some time 5. start kmail -- the kmail GUI will not come up though there is definitely a kmail process running 6. wait for some more time, the GUI will still not appear 7. click on the kwallet icon, kwallet opens. Click on the (already open) wallet 8. the kmail GUI will show up immediately Using current Debian/sid. Does anybody else observe this behavior?

To fix, execute following commands as root. mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix chown root.root /tmp/.ICE-unix chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix Did that already long time ago (I'm doing this at bootup time). Again: Everything was fine with KDE 3.1.3 but changed with KDE 3.1.4. 3. I've also found that if you're on a non-permanent net connection such as a dialup, it helps to run your own DNS server, since many programs expect DNS service to be working at all times, otherwise they throw errors or sit through long timeouts before responding to user input. For a home workstation on a ppp connection, pdnsd is a good personal DNS server that gets the job done without creating too many hassles. It is regardless if I sit here at the end of a 100Mb connection or at home without external net. Nevertheless, thank you!

On x86 it is a little bit slower than normal code since the data section is accessed using the ebx register as index. The result is that the compiler has less possibilities to optimize the code since one general register is reserved. Therefore there exist two versions of libaries: Static libraries don't need PIC code since the position (and therefore the position of the data segment) is know at link time, that is compile time. And shared libraries, which are linked at runtime and therefore has to be PIC. Note that it would be possible to use non-PIC code for shared libraries by simply relocating all symbols accessing data. But that would lead to patching the code segment which would make it impossible to share the same library between different address spaces (at least with ELF).

Konqueror can do pop3://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ and so on. But almost nobody uses this view directly. Why? Because it doesn't make sense to see your mail like a file hierarchy. You want threads, sort by sender, etc. Mails aren't organized that way on the server and this cannot be duplicated usefully within Konqueror. So what? Because it doesn't make sense to _use_ it, why should this functionality be _removed_? underlaying protocol is ftp or http. What I want is a Save as... function. Maybe it is needless on local disks, however, I'm tired to copy / goto home / paste. Congratulations, you've just found out why just about every file manager application worth its salt consists of _two_ windows - be it Explorer, Norton Commander, or whatever. ;) Hmmm. :-) Frank -- Frank Mehnert ## Dept. of Computer Science, Dresden University of Technology, Germany ## ## E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~fm3 ##
Re: Save Link as... in ftp-mode
On Saturday 20 October 2001 00:49, Jens Benecke wrote: in the same way as in ftp mode: Following a link, going up one directory and so on. FTP is basically a 'stripped down shell' which allows data transfers. HTTP is a protocol that only allows single document retrievals. You cannot do a 'ls -l' in HTTP. FTP is displayed just like a local disk, or any disk. Save as... doesn't really make sense here, just like it doesn't make sense when you read a CD-ROM or floppy. What _does_ make sense is copy, move, etc. I can't agree with that. In my opinion, the konqueror creates an _unified_ view of different protocols. I don't care about if the underlaying protocol is ftp or http. What I want is a Save as... function. Maybe it is needless on local disks, however, I'm tired to copy / goto home / paste.

Save Link as... in ftp-mode
Hi, it is possible to extent the context menu of the konqueror's ftp-mode by an item Save Link as...? It disturbs me that in html-mode files can be saved by Save Link as... and in ftp-mode I have to copy-and- paste the file.

Re: KMail and Message-ID: header field
On Tuesday 18 September 2001 21:17, Hendrik Sattler wrote: is there any known way to tell kmail that the smtp-server shall create the Message-ID: header field and _NOT_ kmail itself? Good question but I don't know. Because kmail (2.1.1 on potato) creates buggy message id's (only hostname without domain - in my case noys instead of noys.inf.tu-dresden.de), I've createt a small shell script which appends the missing stuff: #!/bin/sh /bin/sed s/\(^Message-Id:.*\)noys/\1noys.inf.tu-dresden.de/g \ | usr/sbin/sendmail $* This script is called sendmail_hack. I've changed the location of sendmail in settings to point to that script.
