I have used gftp for many years with KDE and also the file manager (and more) 
Krusader which works really well.

The clock in the panel can easily do this as it is very configurable. 
Right click on it > Digital Clock Settings > Appearance
Then select the Toolbox next to the Date Format option.

Or an easier route:

System Settings > Locale > Date and Time tab.

When you mouse over each option you will be shown a table of what you can 
change for example the Time, Date etc to a layout that suits you. 
For example:

pH:MM AMPM will give the the short time in 12 hour clock format - 7:40 pm

Noscript works well these days, however you can disable JS in

Set  javascript.enabled to "false"

Use the "add widgets" option to download new widgets and do a search for "lock

Don, make any changes in the grub file which is in /etc/default/

The line you want to edit is GRUB_DEFAULT=

and then run

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Then the changes you made are kept during the next kernel update/reboot etc

Michael, I am seeing the same as you after the kernel update with 3.2.10 being 
at the bottom of the list so not the default of 0.

I keep only two kernels so have temporarily changed the default to 2 so 3.2.10 
will be the kernel that is booted.

Yes adjusting the *panel* size here by a small amount will give me one or two 
rows in the sys tray. See attached..

I can't think what else it could be, I'm using Oxygen for workspace and 
application appearance and Nouveau.

Does it happen with a new user, maybe one of of the plasma*rc files got 
corrupt somehow.

OK, I just looked at the Alsa report and this could be your problem:-

Kernel release:5.2.9-200.fc30.x86_64

Update your kernel to 5.3.x for F31 and see if that helps.

I am assuming your using SDDM as the login manager, if so to change themes and 
some other "basic" options via System Settings you need to have sddm-kcm 
installed. It would then be available via the Startup and Shutdown option.

For modifying the Users shown etc you could edit /etc/sddm.conf, I think there 
is a man page for this.

Does anyone know why these don't work anymore in Fedora 23? I am using

I forgot to mention this is in Plasma.
When I said it doesn't work anymore, what I meant was Autohide worked 
in

Fedora versions 18 to 22 but not in Fedora 23.

It seems to be broken for me as well.  I didn't notice it, since I 
don't use it.


You may want to post to the KDE list as there are more folks hanging

It's probably this bug report :-)

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362105

One of those problem bugs as its works fine here on F23 and now since
upgrading on F24 as well. Using nouveau here.

This bug report is the issue. Looking at the report it seems to be
happening across a wide range of distributions and video drivers, and
even the same nvidia driver works for some people and not others. It
seems to me that it is probably an issue with hardware acceleration
and the level of hardware acceleration available on the video card.


Yes I think you could be right there. So many variables in this bug, its
a tough one.


I am having trouble reading the version numbers in the repositories to
identify what version of plasma I have installed and even what
packages constitute plasma itself. I think I have plasma 5.6.4
installed but I'm not sure.


If you fire up Kinfocenter you can see which Versions of Plasma, QT and 
more

you are running.

Looks like the pending update of mariadb in bodhi fixes this issue (and many 
others)

Cqrlog starts fine for me now.

FYI, I find "dnf whatprovides" most useful,

Yes that's the issue in the report and what I am seeing here (and also others 
in various forums etc) I only tested with Google.

Applications 20.12 from the COPR I use maybe available in the next few days, I 
will test with that and report back here if there is any change and add any 
additional info to the bug report.

Nothing serious, the bug report can be found here and a new rkhunter is in 
updates-testing for F32/33/34 and fixes the warnings..

rkhunter-1.4.6-10 fixes this and according to bodhi it should be in the stable

FYI, preupgrade does work with the default 200meg  /boot partition, I did it 
here on this small raid system, no LVM all ext4, F12 > F13.. More info here:

I guess your mileage may vary depending on the hardware as Alan found out :(

Hmm, it should work but I think you said the problem you had was after the 
reboot with the network card, so it could not download the install.img etc and 
continue the upgrade.
Maybe upgrade by DVD would be best for you then..

FYI my layout, 

$ df -h

/dev/md1   72G   17G   54G  24% /

There is a generic "how-to" on the Phoronix site which may help you.

And also there is a good guide on the Arch forum:
