Description of problem: The comic plasmoid is not working in Mageia 3 x64. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep comic lib64plasmacomicprovidercore1-4.10.4-1.mga3 plasma-applet-comic-4.10.4-1.mga3 plasma-dataengine-comic-4.10.4-1.mga3 How reproducible: - add plasmoid to KDE desktop - choose and install comic - window stays emtpty Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
I found the same too, was going to create a bug myself today. I set it to display an error if fetching comics failed and no error is ever displayed. Clicking to configure it and clicking OK downloads the latest comic though. I wondered if it was just timing out somewhere. I've now reduced the comic cache from 20 to 5 and *touch wood* it's worked at every boot since. Only 2 so far though so perhaps too early to say for sure..

Spoke too soon. Day 3, back to broken :(

I just installed all KDE-related updates from updates_testing, rebooted my system, but still no comic on my desktop :( $ rpm -qa | grep comic plasma-applet-comic-4.10.4-2.mga3 lib64plasmacomicprovidercore1-4.10.4-2.mga3 plasma-dataengine-comic-4.10.4-2.mga3
under certain conditions, which I didn't figure out yet, a comic is loaded. If you click the 'go back' arrow then, KDE crashes competely :(
Just updatet to KDE 4.10.5 from updates_testing, no changes.
Seems to be an upgrading issue: Just did a fresh install of Mageia3 on a friend's box, and there the comic plasmoid works like it should. Both my laptop and desktop are upgraded from Mageia2, and there it doesn't.
Just did a fresh install of Mageia3 x64 with all updates, and comic is still not working, Plasmoid stays empty. Tried Garfield and APoD.
The comic plasmoid is still buggy in Mageia 4, KDE 4.11.5 testing, but I just found out something strange: I got used to the empty comic window for month now, and today suddenly, after switching to Gnome and then back to KDE, I see todays APoD on my desktop... can't believe it. What have I done? I allowed Gnomes network manager to manage the LAN interface... Some new issue introduced: Can't add any new comic, looks like this one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325028
If I jump to an APoD (e.g. March-19th) which is a youtube video, it crashes KDE completely. A black screen with a little net-applet window in the upper left corner is all that's left behind.
