This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I'm hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it.

It's not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn't exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn't even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I'd never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I'm 42 now and I'm still catching up on a lot of things I've missed out on in my young days. I've just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I'm still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I'm still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol
I got an update today for qt5 webengine and I was wondering if I should update it or just remove it since we are on qt6/plasma 6? https://lemmy.kde.social/pictrs/image/08b38387-e421-4a0d-86e4-eb766f53bb65.png
I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It’s has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can’t even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto...
I’ll try that. Thank you. I’m having issues on Wayland and some apps I use daily don’t work there unfortunately :/
Edit:
I ran this command sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)and it removed over 1GB of crap. Made a backup before doing that. I’ll reboot and see if it killed my system. Lol
I have all AMD. Done with Nvidia for life until they open source their shit and straight up support Linux. Running that orphaned packages cleaning command seems to help a little. I’ll test it for a while and see. It did remove a bunch of Qt5/kde5 stuff
I have reported 3 or 4 major bugs so far, haven’t reported this one yet. So much shit broke on plasma 6. Not sure if it’s just me, but this release is an absolute mess. I don’t want to reinstall
I have the QT_USE_PLASMA_SCALING=1 set and it’s been working no problem. Could if have been removed by the update? But that would also make the menu icons look like shit.
There is this useless feature where the lock screen tells you that the account is locked for 10 minutes because of three failed attempts to log in, but then I can just bypass it by forcing my computer off then powering it back on. Then what’s the point of having it? I just got a new mechanical keyboard and I don’t know if it...
How do I disable it? That link doesn’t show where to disable it. It just did it again and it’s driving my fucking insane. I literally didn’t do anything. I just locked my PC from the menu and went back to it to wake it up. I need this off my PC :/
Ok, I figured it out. Looks like this new mechanical keyboard I got does something when I wake the PC up that causes those 3 attempts to be triggered. So I just set deny = 0 in /etc/security/faillock.conf. And to be more sure, I set the unlock time to 0. Lol That was very stressful. Thank you for bringing up faillock.
I wasn’t asking why I can bypass it, I wanted to get rid of it because it’s useless to me since my PC is physically in my basement and I’m right there trying to use it, not trying to access it remotely. Anyway, I got rid of it.
Thanks to the help of our contributors the current state of Kate for the upcoming first Qt & KF 6 release looks very promising. For more information read this post.
He is the developer who reverse-engineered the whole apple silicon thing, and he did it with kate and konsole. lol. I have watched so many of his live streams on youtube, the dude even uses Gentoo with KDE. He is a genius.
Let me preface this with I was reinstalling my Arch system when Linux 6.6.1 killed the computer’s boot cycle. (Dell Optiplex 990 i7) system. Anyway, I needed to get this back up and running and since I couldn’t even get it to boot, I did a reinstall relying on my backups and on the Linux LTS for now. I am an early adopter...
I’ve tried it in a VM. Installed kde neon unstable. I did NOT like how they changed the settings. Ooofff, I was clicking instinctly on the wrong places. I kept repeating the same mistakes I was getting mad. lol. It IS more sane if makes more sense, thought, but we do need a lot of muscle memory to get used it. It does look a little different, but I removed it pretty quick, as I didn’t want to ruin the excitement of the official release.
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?
This is now the only thing standing between me and using Wayland as my daily driver. I have an all AMD PC running on two 27" 4k monitors. Setting them up to 200% is good, but too big. Setting them to 175% causes the font to be blurry. Not too blurry, but I can tell and it’s not comfortable to look at for too long. Also, other...
I like the 27" size. They’re both 60 hz unfortunately :/ I’m thinking of either one of those really long monitors or two with high refresh rate. I need at least 90 hz. I freaking love 4k and can never have anything else.
I hope this doesn’t violate the low-quality rule. For those who don’t know, when you right click an archive in Dolphin, the extract menu has a “Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder” option and its absolutely brilliant! If you’ve ever extracted a zip, tar, etc and ended up with files splattered everywhere this...
Funny enough, I discovered this a couple of weeks ago when I extracted a zip file with the top option and I had like 100 files all over my downloads directory. I was so pissed I had to delete them all one by one and make sure that I don’t delete the files that I actually want there. It was so painful. Then looked at the bottom one and it made sense and it was an “aha I fucking love kde” moment.
Invariably, when I try to install themes, or anything from Plasma’s menu’s I get the following error, If I’m lucky, I get get a few pages in, other times it’s right off the bat like this time. Is this due to an overwhelming of the servers or something else?
I’m trying to get the scaling right on my 4k monitors, but icons look wonky, and the whole thing doesn’t look right. I used to just throw export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in /etc/environment or ~/profile, log out and log back in, and I’m good, but now this doesn’t do anything. I can’t be on wayland 100% since not...
That killed the whole xorg session. It logs into a black screen with only the cursor. I’ve been messing with it for about 3 days. So, I just went ahead nuked my whole system, including my home drive and reinstalled from scratch. All good now. It was painful to restore all of my home files from server, but we are all good now.
