New : hangs on opening

After years of working perfectly for me, my text editor up and broke on me.

Spoiler: The underlying issue was actually a mount, turns out KATE walks the filesystem on launch, even if not opening a file

I just used the :linux: :kde: app Spectacle.
It is used to take screenshots. The included annotation tools are amazing for blurring, captioning,...

The developers really tought this program through. 😄

This old dog has learned a new trick keyboarding for .
There are many types of Apostrophe, & even the descriptions are confusing.
In the screenshot we see that the apostrophe on your keyboard is coded as U+0027, but the note says that U+2019 is preferred for apostrophe.
On my system running , to type U+2019 I use the Compose key:
<Multi_key> <greater> <apostrophe> : "?" U2019 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
Mine is set to Right Alt on my US Keyboard.

Trying out on the desktop, since I'm gradually shifting back to these days. So far it's...alright?

I've always loved the idea of a Fediverse client that integrates nicely with the desktop, while offering full access to whatever features that platform gives you. But, I'm hard pressed to find a client that does everything I want. 😅

My next new project for KDE/Plasma is an icon theme I simple call "Glass".

Wow, the upgrade from 5 to 6 on was smooth. Changed one line in the config and it works perfectly fine. Great experience.

Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in ) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.

A new feature I absolutely love in @neochat is that the message delegates now offer a full previews of the file you send. Here is for example a markdown file with Markdown syntax highlighting! The same works with train tickets or any other types of tickets that KDE Itinerary can consume.

Done :) Pushed my recipes to build the frameworks (6.2.0) and a few frameworks (6.0.4) to: https://codeberg.org/Begasus/haikuports/src/branch/kf6

For those wanting to try them out it's a matter of setting up a repository and import those recipes. Mind you, the full frameworks for KDE on are 137 packages.

In the meantime, and updated locally to latest beta 24.04.90 :)

Omg, someone finally found a way to make discord work for sharing screen under #kde #plasma that works - https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1cf57xa/comment/l1mvp1a/

Tldr: pass the env variable XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 to discord command

This way it's finally possible to open the share screen without it going on a loop forever with asking for you to select a thing to share with the xwaylandvideobridge!

Just tried, it works.

FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!

Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new #Mac will eventually lose #Apple support. Thanks to the impressive work of #Asahi #Linux project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.

Great to see #KDE #Plasma as the default desktop environment!

Damn yeah. Finally fixed the pin entry program to actually use the secret service on #linux #kde #plasma and to stop asking all the time for the password for signing commits.

It seems a somewhat recent breaking change, since this worked before. Anyway, someone had already written about it on #archlinux wiki.

Tldr: after setting the pin entry program on gpg-agent config to use the qt version, we need to change the gpg-agent service to have XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP as anything but "kde".

vascorsd,
@vascorsd@mastodon.social avatar

The latest version of pin entry is 1.3.0 which doesn't have the new option described there about setting the env variable PINENTRY_KDE_USE_WALLET=1.

So for now we need to do:

systemctl --user edit gpg-agent.service

And add the following:

Environment="XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=pooper-hack"

Save, exit, reload the agent.

Just tested and fixed things on my side with this.

You're all welcomed 😌

common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed Neon on a P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience
