Plasma 6 Bugs

If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.

If it hasn't, report it yourself.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

I'm currently using gnome and I'd like to switch to plasma, but I want to be able to intergrate my google and nextcloud accounts like in gnome's online accounts section. How could I do this?

Plasma 6.0 Release Candidate 2 is just a week away!

This will be the last test release before the final version Plasma 6.0 hits repos on February 28. This is your chance to test a nearly entirely functional Plasma 6.0 and help us by reporting bugs.

Watch this space!

Remember: RC2 will still be a test version of Plasma 6.0. Some things may still break!

There's some mismatch between Linux kernel 3.10 and #KDE that wants to use clone3 to create a process thread.

Do I know anyone from @[email protected] @[email protected] who is able to assist with debugging it further?

The system call clone3 has been added to linux 5.3 but it seems that KDE does not do any fallback in case the system call is rejected with EPERM.

Can I set a global filter options to always filter all podcast as you see in the attached image?

Currently I have to do this for each podcast and this setting is lost when I restart the app?

Title, my network configuration in the taskbar is using the incorrect icons for incoming and outgoing data sent. Am I missing a font (I would love to know the name of the proper font/icon set that is used) or is my desktop not configured correctly? Using 5.27.10 on Arch.

None of the GitLab projects in the post seem to work, for some reason. Maybe they forgot to make the issues public.

EDIT: It's fixed now.

EDIT:

This is just secure if your threat model is "having synced passwords, maybe on unencrypted cloud storage".

Kwallet is not secure, it can easily be read by any program. I stopped using this method myself as it is unnecessarily insecure.


original post

  1. Open "KWalletManager"
  2. If not existent, create a new folder called "Passwords" by clicking on the clear area and then "New"
  3. Open that folder, in here you find multiple folders, one is called "Passwords" in your systems language
  4. Right click the "Passwords" subfolder and press "new"
  5. Name the entry for example "Keepass", click on the entry and "show content", enter your Keepass Password
  6. Create an Appstarter for quick-opening your password storage!

You can create an App Desktop Entry like this, open your Terminal and enter:

When using KeepassXC Flatpak:

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/keepassxc-unlock.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Keepass-unlock
Comment=Unlock your KeepassXC vault
Exec=kwallet-query -r KeepassXC kdewallet | /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=keepassxc --file-forwarding org.keepassxc.KeePassXC --pw-stdin ~/passwords.kdbx
Icon=emblem-encrypted-unlocked
Type=Application
EOF

When using a native package:

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/keepassxc-unlock.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Keepass-unlock
Comment=Unlock your KeepassXC vault
Exec=kwallet-query -r KeepassXC kdewallet | keepassxc --pw-stdin ~/passwords.kdbx
Icon=emblem-encrypted-unlocked
Type=Application
EOF

How do I get the preview pane in KMail to stay the same size? I can resize it, but whenever I restart the app, the preview pane is back to the default size.
