KDE

I'm getting a bug where left clicking a program open in the task manager triggers opening another instance of the same program instead of raising/focusing in the already opened window. This didn't happen using X11. It's not the behavior configured for the left click; a recently started session works fine. The only way for it to go away without restarting is entering Plasma's edit mode and exiting it - then task manager behaves ok for a while. How can I trace what causes this ? I tried checking journalctl for criticial errors or logs when I click and this behavior happens but couldn't find anything relevant

Plasma5, wayland, nvidia

Linux Magazine dedicates the cover and their main article of their latest issue to Plasma 6.

@linuxmagazine's 5000-word 8-page feature dives deep into why the version number jump (and why now), the current state of Plasma and KDE's ecosystem of apps and frameworks and what it has to offer, and the changes pushing KDE's software to new levels of efficiency, customization, and enhanced user experience.

What's the relationship between plasma-desktop, plasma-mobile, and plasma-bigscreen? Are they the same thing but with some different configs/patches/etc or are they three seperate but heavily interconnected projects?

Hi,

Currently using kmail 23.08.4

Noticed when I receive invitation email from google calendar, the event and buttons for further actions tends to be displayed twice, with 2nd one, the buttons don't do anything. Notice this happens when in calendar message view in the message pane.

Is there a way to display these invitation a emails by default in HTML view rather than the calendar message view?

Thanks in advance.

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE's software), and everything in between.

Fire away, Lemmy!

We were expecting to be done in an hour and we have past the 2-hour mark already! Time flies when you are having fun.

Thank you for all the questions and the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but the devs must get back to making Plasma 6 great.

Please keep the conversation going and KDE contributors will continue to answer over the next days as time permits.

Thank you all!!

I have a Lenovo 14aPH8 (Ideapad 5 gen 8?) which has a high DPI Screen with an AMD 7840HS (780m iGPU).

It's giving a bunch of memory corruption when on youtube in fullscreen, or before I reduce the resolution of a fullscreen application (Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only I've tried so far) from the native resolution to 1080p.

I previously RMA'd the Laptop due to similar artifacts on Pop!OS, and they confirmed the entire motherboard was replaced. However, the artifacts didn't go away so I tried KDE Neon which thankfully didn't have the same issues, until I tried gaming and youtube.On X11, the issues are gone, but as a fan of fractional scaling and touchscreen gestures I'm still using Wayland.

While this could be a hardware issue (I can't confirm as the laptop is so new not many people have it, let alone on linux) I'm sure this is software related because it only happens on X11, and I've also seem similar reports by nVidia users on Wayland.

Anyone able to signpost me if this isn't something KDE devs can investigate? I know a lot of them are active within the Wayland space so I thought asking here would be a good idea :)

EDIT: Looks like there's some upstream bug in the DRM with variable refresh rates and/or adaptive sync. Disabling it in KDE's settings seems to sort the problem in Youtube/games. Can't say the same for anyone else tho

Plasma 6 - RC 2 is landing on Wednesday. Get ready to Ask Us Anything!

Want to know what's going on behind the scenes? Have a pressing question about Wayland, or the new interfaces and shortcuts?
