Description Martin Walch 2014-08-29 23:55:23 UTC
When opening the GHNS dialog with >File >Download New Tabs, the download process does not finish. Opening the requested URL in Konqueror returns HTTP/500 Internal Server Error.

This also affects several other programs (Kigo, KBlocks,…). However, I do not know what is actually broken and I guess it should be reported *somewhere*.

Does newstuff.kde.org maybe rely on the subversion repositories that have been turned off?

Reproducible: Always

I can still confirm this with version 4.11.13 on Debian, connection to repository fails, manual attempts still resulting in HTTP/500.
Comment 3 Kurt Seebauer 2017-03-07 22:16:48 UTC
still not working
Comment 4 Harald Sitter 2017-10-11 13:17:02 UTC
So, it appears to me ksysguard still has newstuff as knewstuff url, that service was however shut down IIRC.

I am not quite sure what it should be using instead, but what it has right now is definitely wrong and broken in every release for the last couple of years.
Comment 5 Harald Sitter 2017-10-11 13:22:32 UTC
On an additional note it seems we currently do not have ksysguard pages in the KDE store. It may be wise to get that set up and then use the store for content delivery. (instead of using some other random thing)

Sheets/tabs/things are saved to 
~/.local/share/ksysguard/
presumably to fix it needs a way to upload to store.kde.org, a category added to store.kde.org, fixing the url and anything else to download
Comment 8 Jonathan Riddell 2017-10-15 09:48:39 UTC
Requested category in store.kde.org

former maintainer John Tapsell says "Yeah it was never really finished properly."

Git commit fdead6c30886e17ea0e590df2e7ddb79652fb328 by Harald Sitter.
Committed on 09/11/2017 at 12:33.
Pushed by sitter into branch 'Plasma/5.8'.

use OCS to retrieve Tabs from the KDE store

Summary:
newstuff.kde.org has been shut down for a while and as a result the KNS
intergation was entirely broken. We've got a new System Montior Tabs
category on store.kde.org now which we can use instead.

Test Plan:
- open kns dialog
- install 'hard disk totals'
- close dialog
- find new tab for hard disk totals
