Installing indic (Hindi, Punjabi) etc keyboard layouts

2018-11-25 Thread Robert Backhaus
Ever since I upgraded from KDE4 to Plasma, the keyboard layouts for indian
languages have been missing when I try to add them. I know this was an
issue before with KDE4, and I had to update my xkb installation - some
versions had these language keyboards removed from xkb. I still have an xkb
version installed that includes these languages, but they are missing from
Plasma's list of keyboard layouts.

I have no idea what needs to be changed, or added, to restore these
layouts. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how to get them back? Does,
for instance, kde have a bundled copy of xkb somewhere that needs updating?

If it helps, my operating system is FreeBSD, and I am using the 'KDE5'
ports.

I am just trying to understand why KDE feels they need to look and feel like 
windows and have the system do everything for you.

I am running Sabayon.  I am not yet skilled enough to run Gentoo.

Thank you very much.  I found here the account setting for all my mail accounts 
and removed them.

I see only the following in my setup;

akonadi_akonotes_resource_0
Notes
Local Folders

I am not sure what they do or if I really need them.
How does one go about stopping akonadi?

Thank you very much.  You have been very helpful.

There in lies the problem.  I do not have kmail installed anymore.
There has to be a way to stop kde for doing this.

Besides  KDE should not be doing this automatically.  The programs should be 
doing the requesting.

This is not an option.

[kde] kmail and kwallet

2013-02-07 Thread Robert
Hello,

Hello,

I am hoping someone will be able to help me out with an issue I am having with 
the above named programs.

On my older system I am running KMail and I like it a lot.  When I got my new 
laptop I decided to install Kmail on it too.  Problem is Kmail is no
longer like the old kmail, I know everyone is going to say it is better but 
that is not my opinion.  Any why after it was installed kwallet was used
to track the passwords for the different email accounts.  After giving it a go 
I decided that kmail2 was not for me and I un-installed it.

Now the issue I am having is I keep being prompted for the password for kwallet 
to access my email.  The exact text is as follows;

The application 'X of type POP3 E-Mail Server'
has requested to open the wallet 'kdewallet'. Please enter
the password for this wallet below.

How do I get this to stop?  The email client I am using doesn't use kwallet so 
I know for a fact this is not what is causing this issue.

Thank you for your time.

I have read somewhere that this is a know problem and it hasn't been fixed 
yet.  From what I understand this is a KDE bug not CentOS, but I could be 
wrong.

Sorry, that C&P didn't seem to make it.

KDE  3.5.4-25
Centos 5.5

If that is what CentOS is still using then yes.
Waiting for CentOS6 to be released and then I'll upgrade.
