[opensuse-kde] KDE Okular: Annotations don't show all non-ASCII letters
by opensuse.lietuviu.kalba 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

Hi, KDE Okular PDF viewer suffers from buggy poppler [1] leading to skipped non-ASCII letters in PDF annotations [2]. This bug exist almost for a decade, has many duplicates, and seems not be to trivial. Although is not so critical, however it is highly annoying while using KDE (and openSUSE) as software in office affairs. Could we consolidate / prioritize our efforts to fix this bug or to hire some one to work with it? It would be nice if openSUSE or even SUSE could take responsibility while finding a solution.

[opensuse-kde] Heads-up: Leap 15.1 support ends in two months
by Christophe Giboudeaux 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hello, Please note: openSUSE Leap 15.1 support will end in two months [1]. If you didn't upgrade yet, now is a good time to start thinking about it. As mentioned in the Leap 15.2 release notes, KDE4 is not supported anymore [2]. When we remove the Leap 15.1 KDE repositories, some KDE4 packages that are only built for openSUSE Leap 15.1 will be removed from KDE:Extra. (a lot of dead plasmoids, a couple icon themes and obsolete applications). Another reminder will be sent in one month.

[opensuse-kde] KDE Plasma 5.20 without plasma5-disks

Hi there, I have just noticed that KDE Plasma 5.20 in TW does not provide plasma5-disks. It is, however, available in KDE:Frameworks5. How come? Thx. Regards, Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Lost settings after Plasma update to 20.08.2
by Vojtěch Zeisek 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Hi, after update to snapshot 20201012 with Plasma 20.08.2 I was experiencing plenty of graphical flickering in nearly every application. This was solved by switch from OpenGL to XRender in KDE Control Center. I just wonder why did it happen. I had been using OpenGL for a while without any issue. Another issue I noticed was that I lost settings of the text editor part (Kwrite, Kate, ...), it was reverted do the (new) default state. I had to again set dark style and some more settings. Also I was surprised that I had to do the settings in every application using he KDE text component, namely Kwrite, Kate, Kile and RKWard. It used to work that I changed the editor (menu Setting | Editor settings) that I changed the settings on one place and it was applied in all applications using the editor component. I managed it, but things like that should not happen... ;) V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

[opensuse-kde] menu items missing in new 15.2 plasma session
by Felix Miata 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

To an up to date 15.2 installation, originally an upgrade from 15.1, with only TDE/TDM and IceWM installed for graphical environment, I ran: zypper in plasma5-session plasma5-workspace plasma5-theme-oxygen This pulled in just short of 100 new packages total, including systemsetting5, plasma5-framework, plasma5-desktop, konsole & spectacle. The session is functional, but "Application Menu" is very scant, missing all the TDE apps, and very conspicuously absent, "System Settings". I have to adjust everything except panel and desktop via systemsettings5 from Konsole or Xterm cmdline or Alt-F2. "System Settings" is present in "Application Launcher". Any ideas how to get TDE's apps and "System Settings" into "Application Menu"? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-kde][TW?] global X configuration "script" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ is ignored

I don't have any multi-head PCs with KDE & openSUSE except with TW. IOW, all my Leaps are running TDE or KDE3, with TDM or KDM3, so I can't tell if Plasma in openSUSE ever started up respecting the xrandr script. In Fedora 32 I have Plasma on a 3 output PC, but it's using LightDM rather than SDDM. I have one 15.2 with Plasma on a single head PC. The script is respected for the purpose of specifying DPI. If there's a bug here, whose is it? KDE? openSUSE? SDDM? TW but not Leap? Xorg? FWIW, in Debians I have the script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/, but don't have KDE on any of them anyway (TDE only, working as expected). Suggestions?

[opensuse-kde] No mouse navigation between KMail folders
by Axel Dessecker 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hi, One of my computers has a strange problem. In KMail (5.10.3; Leap 15.1) it is impossible to switch mail folders using a mouse. It is possible to focus an already selected folder and the right mouse button context menu also pops up. But navigating between folders only works using the J shortcut on the keyboard. I don't think this is a feature as it doesn't appear on another machine with a rather identical system. Should this be an inadequate list, please tell me.

Hi there According to https://kde.org/info/security/advisory-20200730-1.txt there is an important security issue with Ark. Do we have to wait for version 20.08.0 or is a patch already on its way to Tumbleweed/Leap 15.2 (cf. https://invent.kde.org/utilities/ark/-/commit/0df592524fed305d6fbe74ddf8a19… Thank you.

[opensuse-kde] KDE file dialogs in Thunderbird and Firefox
by Tom 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Hi all, it seems like Thunderbird and Firefox use GTK dialogs for opening and saving files by default. To make them use native KDE dialogs the environment variable GTK_USE_PORTAL must be set to 1. One way to do that is to edit the .desktop files for the applications [1]. Alternatively, the line export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 can be added in ~/.profile or even globally under /etc/profile.d/. Would it make sense to add the global export in a package (e.g., a branding package)? This should make Firefox and Thunderbird use the KDE file dialogs by default for most users. Or would that have any unwanted side effects?
