Hi all, tonight I've moved the project headings which were empty of ideas
from the 2019 page. I pasted them into the end of last year's Ideas page
[1] in case some of you (choqok, kopete, kdevelop, kgpg, kwin, peruse,
plasma, wikitolearn) are going to add ideas late and want those headers
back. I added all the relevant information I could find before opening up
the page to ideas; I should have alphabetized them first!

They are alphabetized them now [2]. Better late than never.

A few ideas still have no mentors listed; please get that done now.
(KDEConnect, LabPlot, Okular).

Hello KDE developers,

I wonder if someone can help me work out what is going on here.

I have build some KDE applications (konsole and okular) from source using kdesrc-build, using QT5 version 5.11.3 also built from sources. The applications build and run, but do not load the icons used in the UI. I have the following lines in ~/.config/kdeglobals:

and running strace on the application reveals that it is finding and crawling the oxygen icon theme directories.

Hi,

I would like to announce beta release of KDE Partition Manager and KPMcore partitioning library.

Summary of changes:
* libparted backend is removed and replaced with sfdisk backend. util-linux 2.32 is required.
As a result FAT16/FAT32 resize support is only available if fatresize is installed. fatresize is a thin
wrapper around libparted and is already packaged by most distros.

Hi,

I am working on .rc files used by KXMLGUI on Kate originally build with kdesrc-build and installed
in a directory in my home directory which is separeted from the system-wide KDE installation.

Now, even after system restart, when I start /usr/bin/kate, some of the menu changes of the
development version appear in the menu. Is there a kind of menu cache that has gotten affected? If
yes, can it be cleared?

Hi All!
I installed Fedora 28 KDE Live x86_64 as Virtual Machines on Qemu/KVM and VMware.

I worked on this problem for serveral days, but I failed.
Can Anyone help me to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I'm facing an issue with translation of kdeconnect_android, their
res/values/strings.xml ressources file contains :

<plurals name="incoming_files_text">
<item quantity="one">File: %1s</item>
<item quantity="other">(File %2$d of %3$d) : %1$s</item>
</plurals>

Understandably (in KDE/QT context), the SVN commit pre-hook rejects this
plural form message because the singular contains 1 argument and the plural
form 3 arguments.

We are pleased to announce that CMake 3.13.2 is now available for download.

Please use the latest release from our download page:
<a href="https://cmake.org/download/" title="https://cmake.org/download/">https://cmake.org/download/</a>

* CMake 3.13.0 included a change to pass compiler implicit include
directories to the "moc" tool for "AUTOMOC".

Please, don't take it as a rant, because I got over my frustraction a
week ago, and just writing it in the hope to point out something that
other developers might not see.

I'm not using KDE myself (i3wm here), but 2 weeks ago I stepped into my
never-ending journey of trying to use KMail, failed it (of course,
filled bug-reports along the way), and then figured "Okay, I'm a
developer — why wouldn't I just go fix the app".

And then I got into a trouble: building KMail. I have most recent stable
KDE, but upstream KMail requires its dependencies to be also built from
upstream.

Hello,

I would like to help with development with the Kleopatra/GPG4win project.

Would there be someone available for mentoring as this is the first time
I get involved in a KDE project.

Thank You!

KIO works.

My current level of understanding is that apps ask klauncher/kdeinit for a
KIO slave if they need one. Then either kdeinit spawns a new slave process,
or there is already an idle slave and it is reused. Idle slaves kill
themselves after a couple of minutes if no request is coming in.
Communication between the slave and the app happens via a socket, usually
to find in /run/user/$UID.

The question is if, or rather when, it is possible to shortcut this
process. Do slaves, especially idle ones, accept commands issued by third
programs via these sockets?

Hey y'all.

(posting this to two mailing lists as I'm a bit confused which is most useful)

Do we have an equivalent of this for KDE?

I was debating just winging it in Qt Designer for a little bit but something
like the above allows people without Qt Designer to use other tools like
Pencil (<a href="https://pencil.evolus.vn/" title="https://pencil.evolus.vn/">https://pencil.evolus.vn/</a> + <a href="https://github.com/evolus/pencil" title="https://github.com/evolus/pencil">https://github.com/evolus/pencil</a>) for
making mockups and design.

Also, do we have a place to submit mockups for application design and ideas
for KDE?

For example, we have KDE Aplication program with knsrc files for
KNS3::DownloadDialog (from KHotNewStuff - KDE Framework).
Acording to documentation (
<a href="https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/classKNS3_1_1DownloadDialog.html" title="https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/classKNS3_1_1DownloadDialog.html">https://api.kde.org/frameworks/knewstuff/html/classKNS3_1_1DownloadDialo...</a>,
"Detailed Description") KNewStuff searchs knsrc files only in /etc/xdg
directory.
It works good for packages from repository, because in this case, if we
install knsrc files using KDE_INSTALL_CONFDIR, in package the files will be
in /etc/xdg.
But, if we build and install the program from source, we have some
problems: we could don't change CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (/usr

Hi,

I am a student participating in the Google Code In Challenge. As a part of
my task, I am to introduce my interests to the mailing list. I have been
interested in computer science and business for the past five years and
mainly develop in Java, Swift, and Python. I first started to develop
mobile apps as a fun way to pass time. Over the years, my interest in
computer science has significantly grown and I have found more practical
uses for coding. Using my skills, I have founded a $3 million startup and
have won notable accelerator programs around the world.

To whom it may concern,

Hello, I am a student new to KDE community. I want to get involved with KDE
development to hone my programming skills and make contribution to KDE. But
I don't know what work I can do and where do I start. Could anyone give me
some guidance? It would be better if we can discuss directly. Thank you all!

I am proud to announce the second CMake 3.13 release candidate.
<a href="https://cmake.org/download/" title="https://cmake.org/download/">https://cmake.org/download/</a>

The first 3.13.0 release candidates included a change to allow
generator expressions in "install(CODE)" and "install(SCRIPT)".
This has been reverted in rc2 due to breaking backwards
compatibility.

Greetings all,

I am Patrick, and I wish to contribute to the KDE project. Before going much further, allow me to give some background information.

I am currently a college student, and I've been programming for about four years now. Most of my experience is in C++ using the Qt framework. In fact many of my projects are on Github, and can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories" title="https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories">https://github.com/patrickf2000?tab=repositories</a>.

I am a longtime Linux user, and I've been using KDE for about two years now. I recently started hacking around some of the code in the projects.

I recently took up a bug related to the "user-manager" program. After
following the steps in the getting started guide, I was able to
successfully compile and install the program. Running it was a different
story, I hit a segmentation-fault error when trying to run the program
through the konsole. After setting up QtCreator and trying to guess at the
executable path, it tells me that the program quit unexpectedly. I'm trying
to find a way around this so that I can resolve the bug. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Hello fellows.

In kde software we strive to be inclusive, that means that we don't enforce
a coding style in every new project, nor do we adapt to newer styles on old
software.

Hello,

I have put a slightly incorrect license header at top of files. It is supposed
to be LGPL v3 or later but contains a few errors and is not matching the one
currently found on FSF site.

I am not sure if it is necessary to ask explicit permissions from all
contributors or if I can fix it directly. What is your advice ?

Best regards

Hello folks, GCi is much earlier this year, so we need to gather tasks NOW.
The org application period is now open, and I see a good start on tasks on

Please look over their tasks and copy some for your own project!

Yes, this contest is quite a bit of work, however this year it will not run
through the Christmas holidays which should make life easier.
