This sddm bug is driving me insane

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

I'm relatively new to Fedora and Plasma and trying to understand it better. I see in the wallpaper selection that some of them have what looks to be a light and dark version. I'm using Kinoite and have one of these wallpapers chosen but do not ever see it change. Is this a bug? Should it change? On a similar but different note I swear I saw it change on Bazzite with Plasma when I tried that at someone's house.

TUXEDO's new ARM laptops will run #Plasma6.

How does KDE measure energy consumption and the #accessibility of its apps?

Running Endeavour OS Linux and just updated to plasma 6.0.5, framework 6.3.0, Qt version 6.7.1 on Wayland. I use capslock strictly as my brain refuses to learn using shift (I do touch type no problem), but as well know the capslock is very slow on Linux which always results in text like THis. So, I've found a fix for it online and one of the steps is to enable the option "make capslock an additional Ctrl", but that's not gone :/ What to do?

omg KDE @kde if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?

Couldn't find this info anywhere on the internet when I searched for it, so here it is for anyone who needs it:

1. Navigate to /.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data
2. Create a folder called 'color-schemes'
3. Copy your .colors file here (can be found here)
4. Choose the theme in Kdenlive under Settings > Colour Scheme

Hi,

Have a nice weekend!

@kde Any clue why the right click menu opens as a stand alone window the first time I right click on the desktop after not right clicking for a while? It opens correctly by the mouse every time after that but will open as a stand alone the next time there is some time between right clicking.

If this makes sense.

Is that possible ?

Thanks

KleverNotes, KDE's Markdown note-taking and management application using Kirigami, is ready for its first release!

KleverNotes lets you create and preview Markdown notes while giving you the freedom to customize the preview from settings or using a CSS theme.

You can organize your notes however you want with a combination of categories and groups, which will be directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders.

Simply choose your storage location and you're ready to write!

You can print your notes, add small sketches and even create specific tasks for each of them, all from the application!

Notes are saved as Markdown files in your KleverNotes storage for easy access. They support the entire CommonMark specification with extensive syntax. KleverNotes also introduces a small collection of opt-in “plugins” to extend basic markdown functionality, such as: code highlighting, note linking, quick emoji, PUML.

Special thanks

I would like to thank Carl Schwan who helped me through the incubator process, has set up the repository and the various KDE related things, fixed my code, and answered my many questions. The project would not be where it is without him.

History

I started KleverNotes as a small personnal project to learn QML and C++ and motivate myself to take notes in class. After posting a few screenshots of my progress on Reddit, people seemed pretty interested, which inspired me to continue and redouble my efforts. Once it was added to KDE, my motivation grew even more, my final goal is now to be able to offer a simple alternative to QOwnNotes using Kirigami. (I actively use KleverNotes in each of my classes now btw 😬)

Final note

This release doesn't add anything special compared to my last update, just UI tweaks from Carl, which makes the app better looking. I just wanted to get things moving in order to officially push more updates in the future. A big one is in the works and should arrive soon once my exams are finished.

As always, I'll be more than happy to answer your questions, discuss potential features, or hear your point of view 😉
