boredsquirrel , in [SOLVED] Is there a way to make panel NOT float in Plasma 6?

Buy premium /s

dimath , in [SOLVED] Is there a way to make panel NOT float in Plasma 6?

I'm pretty sure it is controlled by a check-mark in panel settings.

cholesterol OP , in Is there any way to change this order in the Application Launcher?

Update: Renaming 'Firewall' to 'Z-Firewall' via the KDE Menu Editor has put Firewall below Firefox, and I'm using that as a workaround.

It's pretty odd, since Firewall should already be below Firefox alphabetically. But there you go!

edit: '.Firewall' works as well.

barbara , in Do you also configure the feedback to send everything?

Yes. I trust and support KDE

@Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz avatar

looking forward to this release showing up in arch, that’s for sure

Ditto, but I’m glad the devs are taking the time to get it right.

Hey there KDE team! What is your favorite feature that is coming along with Plasma 6 (or even with the KDE Gear / KDE Framework updates)?

carlschwan Mod ,

For me it’s definively the new overview effect, I already use it all the time on my Plasma dev session.

I just upgraded to the RC today, and gave this a try - it looks absolutely beautiful! Major props to you and the team!

Strit , in Shortcomings and regressions in Plasma 6 wayland for artists using and configuring graphic tablets
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

This is exactly why they are doing it. To get people to report bugs for issues they are having that is not standard use. :)

Thumbs up for the links to the bug reports too. That way the developers can easily look into it.

raghukamath OP ,

Yeah I know but they are also not providing any fallback for people hit by those bugs. Testing can be done without harming user workflows. And fedora punishing and forcing users will not get those bugs magically fixed. I am not sure some of these will be fixed now before fedora 40. Anyway Fedora can do whatever they want. My wish is to get these bugs more attention.

Strit ,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

Only Fedora is not making it possible to go back. Every other distribution will still provide an X11 session with Plasma 6.

raghukamath OP ,

Yeah you are right and people who were using fedora will need to move distribution suddenly. Actually Fedora is a bad choice for production for this reason, we never know when fedora will ditch you and when we complain about this fedora fanboys will only say why did you choose fedora or they will say just change distribution. So taking that advice I already switched from fedora and I no longer recommend it for any artists use. After all there are bazzillion of distros to choose from.

Again as I said the post is not about fedora itself, it is about the false premise that unnecessary urgency fixes bugs, in this case it is did not do anything and this post is to get the people to notice these bugs to get them fixed

Strit ,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I disagree that Fedora doing this did nothing for the development. It generates bug reports, which in turn generates fixes. Sure, the fixes might not make it into Fedora 40 or even 41, but it helps the Plasma developers see what issues there still are out there as bug reports pop up.

The plasma devs likely don’t have a graphics tablet to test on, so they rely on the community to find these issues and test the fixes.

raghukamath OP ,

I am not against fedora pushing things and fedora helping in testing things it is its job as a test bed. Fedora does not give any fallback to people affected that is the issue. Again I do not use fedora now so that is not my issue what they do.

The plasma devs likely don’t have a graphics tablet to test on, so they rely on the community to find these issues and test the fixes.

Some of these things were communicated in 2019 (phabricator.kde.org/T11660) and again during artist and plasma developer meeting too. You can read about it here (phabricator.kde.org/T14971) So fedora is not the only medium by which bugs and requirement are conveyed to developers.

Pantherina ,

Yeah Plasma Devs use Graphics tablets. Niccolo for example exclusively instead of a mouse.

Pantherina ,

The question is if they ported the old X11 KCM over to Plasma6! Can someone check that? I am on Kinoite rawhide so no X11 I think

raghukamath OP ,

No they have not ported old KCM but created a new one from scratch. Hence any shortcoming or lack of feature is considered as wishlist and extra thing to implement.

Pantherina ,

I would call that a regression and not a wishlist? You can for sure ask to tag those issues correctly.

So Plasma6 X.org has less graphic tablet settings, right?

raghukamath OP ,

So Plasma6 X.org has less graphic tablet settings, right?

Plasma 6 xorg might have the X11 KCm which is the most featureful configuration frontend for graphic tablet on linux. It is on par with windows and wacoms utility. KCM on wayland is not so much.

I would call that a regression and not a wishlist? You can for sure ask to tag those issues correctly.

I had changed the severity once but it was reverted back and then other discussion about this was not entertained you can check the bug reports see the comments marked as spam.

KISSmyOS ,

they are also not providing any fallback for people hit by those bugs.

The fallback is announcing this in the release notes, so users depending on removed features can wait with the upgrade until the issues are fixed or move to another distro.
Backwards compatibility is nice and all, but at some point you’ll have to break things or you’ll end up like Windows, where the current version still includes user-visible GUI elements released 33 years ago.

raghukamath OP ,

The fallback is announcing this in the release notes, so users depending on removed features can wait with the upgrade until the issues are fixed or move to another distro.

Yeah I understand hence I won’t be advising or suggesting any artist to use fedora :)

Pantherina ,

I mean 5.27 will be stable for 2 years or so

raghukamath OP ,

Yeah and i think x11 itself will be available until 2032 on redhat atleast , that is not the issue. Artist can use old distros too but it would be nice to see these things get attention after all linux is for everyone and not just for developers right.

But this is not mant for users, is for testers, so things like that are kind of expected

eskuero , in This week in KDE: the Plasma 6 feature freeze approaches
@eskuero@lemmy.fromshado.ws avatar

I wonder how nicely the upgrade will it play with a $HOME that’s been running Plasma 5 for a couple of years.

I guess I should probably backup .config and .local beforehand

penquin ,
@penquin@lemm.ee avatar

Good point actually. I hope this has been thought of. I’m backing up those two, too. Thanks for bringing that up.

penquin , in This week in KDE: Wayland by default, de-framed Breeze, HDR games, rectangle screen recording
@penquin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

no more frames within frames! Instead Breeze-themed apps adopt the clean design of modern Kirigami apps, with views separated from one another with single-pixel lines!

Does this talk about that little blue square that is inside of dolphin where the folders reside?

carlschwan Mod ,

Yes but not only. Various other components inherit from QFrame and had by default a frame.

penquin ,
@penquin@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Man, that little square drives me nuts. I never understood why it was there in the first place. lol

klangcola ,

I like the blue square, it’s pretty :3 But I’ll learn to live without

woelkchen , in Firefox (snap) on Kubuntu 23.10 does not have Minimize, Maximize Buttons
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

How can I bring these buttons back?

flathub.org/apps/org.mozilla.firefox because fuck Snap

JTskulk ,

Why use flatpak when you can just use deb repositories?

hunger ,
@hunger@linuxrocks.online avatar

@JTskulk @woelkchen Because I can easily limit which files are seen by applications in a flatpak.

I love being certain that my browsers can not access my ssh keys or actually anything outside the Downloads folder.

JTskulk ,

This is a good reason I suppose, not sure if the other methods are better.

Unfortunately you can’t install Firefox deb in Ubuntu anymore (just like chromium). Canonical doing sh*t!

(Full disclosure: I bought a machine with it preinstalled)
@JTskulk

JTskulk ,

Not true, I ran Kununtu until March and I removed snap and used the official Mozilla PPA. It worked better than snap and probably flatpak too.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Why use flatpak when you can just use deb repositories?

I listed one way that I know works because that’s how I use Firefox on my Steam Deck (which in turn uses Plasma 5 as desktop, same as Kubuntu). If a deb package from some PPA works just as well: great.

graphito , in KleverNotes Version 1.0 official release
@graphito@beehaw.org avatar

In the future, if you plan to add sync, consider reimplementing Joplin sync algorithm

That would give you tens of thousands of passionate users, dedicated FOSS server as well as webdav/s3/dropbox/onedrive client sync ability, webclipper and a lot of support to navigate future issues/roadmap

If you ever decide to do that, there's even a plan to repackage the algorithm as a standalone library

louis_sch OP ,

My first plan is to add NextCloud Note sync

But if the two are compatible let's go for it ! Thanks for sharing this

ChaoticNeutralCzech ,

Yeah, I'm using Joplin over Nextcloud and it would absolutely be compatible, the Markdown syntax is the same after all.

louis_sch OP ,

I'm not to much worried about the syntax, KleverNotes follows Common Mark, so as long as the other app follows it too (which it should) this part is okay

I'm more worried about directory structure and things like that, but I'll have to read more about both API before I can really say anything concrete on this subject

By the way, if you have something in Joplin that you really can't live without, let me know, I'm always looking for pottential features :)

Strit , in Do you also configure the feedback to send everything?
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

My systems generally do send all the feedback to the KDE devs, so I help determine where effort should be put next.

CameronDev , in KDE Neon using tmpfs for /tmp seems like an horrible idea?

Arch uses tmpfs for /tmp by default as well. At least on my.install from 2-3 years ago

lumirell OP ,
@lumirell@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I... don't think I have ever seen it do that automatically unless I missed some steps in the installation guide...? most of the time I just created the partitions I needed. I did a quick CTRL + F on tmpfs or tmp but not seeing anything...

Anyhow, I don't see on my desktop which still has Arch Linux installed which I want to move to KDE Neon but extremely lazy when you have an immense backup to do...

Max_P ,
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

It's default since systemd afaik. I think systemd-tmpfiles manages this. It's never been a problem for me, it pretty much remains fairly empty most of the time. Most things like sockets are in /run which is also tmpfs.

Strit ,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

It has been default in Arch for a long time.

What is the output of your df -h | grep tmpfs command?
It should list a couple of devices using tmpfs, where /tmp is one of them.
