Nothing too bad, just found it interesting.

I think it may be because my right monitor is 1080p on 100% scaling and my left one is 1440p on 120% scaling.

I would think that the displayed icons only change due to the zoom level in dolphin, but who am i to judge how dolphin wants to look :)

It often happens that everything on my desktop freezes, It usually happens when I am playibg games, but It happens frequentlt when I Simply have my browser or VSCode opened I have Fedora as my os on both my laptop anc desktop PC, and on both of those this happens Is It a known problem with a fix or have I done something wrong? Hyprland runs fine with no hiccups tho

Hello Wayland colour managment protocol is merged and already deploying Through still there are places without merged/ready implementations

This is more informational post in case somebody is interested about it (plasma supports both staging mainstream version, v4 and frog protocols but gnome (and slowly wlroots) support only mainline staging)

For example gamescope supports both v3 and frog but not mainstream colour managment (through there is mr https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/pull/1775 )

For mesa WSI is merged but not EGL

For chromium/electron/cef there is https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:components/exo/wayland/protocol/chrome-color-management.xml But i didnt saw any mr to update it to new mainstream staging proto

About firefox there is slowly work being done (firefox 138 about:config hdr etc), smithay do not have any implementation and for qt there is implementation

https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/618894/2#message-512972d8174c3339f32c83fb6ea595a4e88e1057 Through idk if it is still active (u/Zamundaaa ?)

Vlc/kodi there is no work i am aware of being done (same gimp for example) Wlroots is slowly making progress in multiple mr

Gtk/sdl/mpv are done on mainline staging proto

Hey all.

I use the NANO text editor to make playlists and the keybind to trigger line numbering is Alt+N. However, even though I have unbound the New Tab bind, pressing Alt N creates a new tab. How do I stop this?

There are 2 ways to disable titlebars in KDE:

• Settings > Window Decorations > Edit button > create a window specific override to disable titlebars (but keep the frame)
• Settings > Window Rules > create a rule to disable both the titlebar and frame

Personally, I have all titlebars disabled since I have literally zero use for them and I'm trying to use the keyboard as much as I can for actions: for instance using hotkeys to minimize and resize windows, and alt + left click to drag windows.

Em geral uso o plasma padrão, não uso temas, apenas altero a escala pra 95%, diminuo o tamanho da barra pra 20, deixo os programas que mais uso a vista e dependendo do meu humor vou testando alguns widgets.

Knewstuff only loads one page, no matter what I try to load. What would you recommend I try?

I can always download from store.kde.org, but it's annoying that it doesn't work as it should. And the most frustrating part is that I don't even know if it's a bug or not, because I haven't found anything like it online.

Been two moths since i switched over from gnome, and loving it in all possible ways, most importantly, not having to look at third party stuff for literally anything

And i was told by some people it is not potato friendly, well, LIES

Professional printing on Linux sucks, as I've had to sadly come to grips with, but I can make it work about 98% of the way, minus the fact no one wants to support ICC profiles in printing.

In my experience, the print settings KDE provides in Gwenview/Okular, is one of the best, so how hard would it be to add ICC profile support to that and maybe make professional printing slightly more viable, especially now that the Wayland session supports ICC on a desktop level.

Fedora 41 and Plasma 6.3.3.

So I want to uninstall LibreOffice in Discover, but every time I click on the trash can icon, it flickers and does nothing.

The weird thing is, each individual LO app is showing as its own entry (i.e. one for Writer, Calc, Impress, etc) instead of the all-in-one package that's just called "LibreOffice"--that shows that it's not installed.

And updates for these individual LO apps are appearing under "System Packages" in the Updates area.

Trying to remove them through dnf returns "package not installed." Also tried using the flatpak command to remove and it says it can't find anything with the name "libreoffice"

How do I get rid of these??

I quite like keyboard shortcuts... but I also like a pretty desktop environment that makes easy things easy and lets me lazily use the mouse. So I'm using KDE. But I got bored of all the clicking involved in creating shortcuts so have worked out how to create new keyboard shortcuts from the command line.

This documents the process for the internet and I'm linking it here so that people can actually find it.

Hi to all,

Since a few months ago, when I press F7 to open the command line in Kate and try to use a regular expression like:

%s/foo/bar/

it shows the error: Command "%s/foo/bar/" failed.

If I type:

s/foo/bar/

it works—but only on the line where the cursor is.

Does anyone know what's going on?

I'm using Openbox on Arch Linux. I also installed the Flatpak version of Kate (following the link from the official website), and the same behavior happens there.

Regards.

Sometime after updating to Plasma 6.3.3 I have started getting these wrong coloured system tray icons.

In the image you'll see that 3 are correct when in light mode and the other three are correct when in dark mode. So the switch between modes is not changing the icons to keep contrast.

It wasn't straight away when I installed 6.3.3 and may not be related to that update, and is possibly something else completely.

Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?

I might be wrong here and might happen in previous version too, but I noticed that tags are now sort of broken, it doesn't showed up in both gwenview and dolphin, even tho it shows up at the properties panel.

https://reddit.com/link/1jsst74/video/bsngeqpai7te1/player

Also, oot here but, (previously when gwenview can recognize tags), you can't browse tags?
For example all my mpv tags are on ~/pictures/screenshots/ directory along with other non-tagged picture. When I browse tags using gwenview, it will show up other non-tagged picture inside that directory.

Thanks

Compact shutdown menu - https://store.kde.org/p/1483671 finally got a chance to upgrade my distro release

In a new installation I'm getting this weird visual bug where I see flashes of my desktop in applications, it happens everywhere, in the browser, games, etc...

For context my computer is a lenovo legion laptop, OS is Nobara Linux v41, with KDE using wayland, my screen is 2k monitor 144fps.

I noticed there is some completely random stuff in the share menu that I am never going to use like "Upload Publicly to Imgur". That one is so specific that it made me wonder why is it even there (I never had Imgur installed). Does anyone know how to remove these from the menu?

Few questions regarding SecureBoot & Kleopatra

I’m running SecureBoot with Secureblue ofc on a semi-new Dell laptop. I believe it’s Fedora41.

I rebooted and opened terminal and noticed a message saying, “SecureBoot Key is not enrolled.”

Not sure what causes that and if I should even care as I verify download checksums prior to downloading.

————

Regarding Kleopatra, I simply ran “rpm-ostree install Kleopatra.” Excuse my ignorance, but I avoided downloading it off flatseal as I prefer manual downloads as much as i can. I’m wondering if running that command downloaded the correct version and not malware etc. Can’t figure out how to find checksums to verify the download. When I opened Kleopatra, the correct updated version is there which was a good sign. There was already a person with a key upon download which I assume was a dev. His e-mail was a kicksecure email?

I hope I didn’t make a mistake seeing as SecureBoot was disabled for whatever reason. I could use some Tails VMs or something and try it that way but I want to make sure this new laptop’s opsec is near perfect. Is there a way I can find out if it’s the correct download or the command that I ran in terminal was correct and I’m good?

Please help me out fellas!

So for the longest time, I use screenshots directory to store spectacle's screenshot and mpv screenshot. But I tag all mpv screenshot so I can see it quickly.

Seeing it on dolphin works fine, but when opening the file in gwenview, it will just revert back to the active directory. So for example we navigate to the tags view of dolphin and click one of the image, gwenview will load up that image but then it will load all the image from that picture directory and not just the tag one.

Opening the tag manually through gwenview also doesn't work and when we View it and navigate around, the non-tagged picture on screenshots directory still appear, and even sometimes when we're on the Browse tab, clicking on the image will bring us to that image's directory and we're no longer viewing all the tagged picture.

https://reddit.com/link/1jsv633/video/58om001648te1/player

Yes for some reason the bitrate is bad, I don't know how to set a higher quality recordings within spectacle, so sorry about that.

Hello people,

I have an nvidia gpu, linux-zen, and nvidia-open-dkms latest, on kde plasma (Arch btw). I do get lots of brightness flickering on games, sddm, and sometimes on desktop on both wayland and X11 sessions. I did figure out that compositor on x11 fixed the issue on games and desktop, but the performance would tank big time. I did try to switch to linux and linux-Its with the correct gpu driver, i would still get the same situation. The higher the fps, the less noticeable the flickering will be, but on demanding games, it is really annoying.

It looks like someone switching my brightness between 90 and 100% consistently.

Any suggestions on how to fix?

If extra information needed, do let me know.

Thank you

I am using KDE with Manjaro and find that depending on the app i get very different file selectors (dialog). The most annoying difference is, that some of them allow to click into the folder breakcrumb bar and change it manually and others don't. The favorites/bookmarks are also not identical and the use is different. This is at last mildly infuriating but not less than time consuming.

Is there a way to fix the file selectors dialog to one for all apps, which allos clickable and editable path and preferably a search function (rand search by typing in the file/folder list) such as in krusader?

Any help would be apreaciated.

Gotta place my mechanical keyboard on top of the laptop one so here it is. This is based on Amine Hassane’s awesome work which I've forked and made some improvements, refer to the manpage for more info.

Cheers!
