Kvantum blur is broken :(
I’m absolutely new to Linux (thanks to steam deck, which I think is arch Linux), what is KDE 6? Is that like a new OS update? Are there any implications for steam deck users?
One really annoying problem, in firefox the mouse cursor position is wrong. Clicking in firefox clicks on the thing 30-ish pixels above my mouse. I noticed that it only happens when firefox is snapped to the left or right half of the screen (of course that’s how I almost always use it). I can fix it if I maximize firefox then snap it left or right. 100% scaling on the monitor, nothing funky, reset theme/appearance, reset my firefox profile, etc…
Hopefully it gets sorted soon
that’s an odd one. make sure it’s reported on bugs.kde.org!
Looks like several reports / duplicates and like they’ve zeroed in on the problematic commit - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482687.
Noice! Theyve been killing it with bughunting recently
I also had this bug for a moment.
Good to hear that. At least it’s not an “only me” problem so hopefully we see a fix soon.
Well, wasnt it already there like a week ago? Or was that only because I’m on testing repos?
I installed it on my endeavour laptop last night and apart from reconfiguring my dock-like panel and weather widget, it’s all been plain sailing so far. Now I just need Tumbleweed to release it so I can update my main desktop!
My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.
Funny you mention desktop: I’ve been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn’t want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now…
THANKS OP, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?!
install kde 6 :D grub shell prompt on reboot D:
Didn’t realize this was happening and yay -Syu went brrr and it broke my shit. Probably doesn’t help that I’m running nvidia with linux (endeavouros). Wayland doesn’t work at all (black screen on login with only mouse ptr, wrong resolution), while Xorg is now much less smooth e.g. on the switching desktop animations. Moving windows around and in-window graphics are fine. Some graphical config stuff changed too; I’m still taking inventory.
I’m also currently playing with nvidia vs nvidia-dkms with different kernels to see if that solves anything.
Sorry to hear that. Also on EOS and it is working great.
On rolling release distros you should always read (or at least skim) over what’s being updated and if it may impact you.
broke latte-dock
edit: and my window blurring/transparency no longer works
Is latte dock still maintained?
Hopefully it gets fixed since I know a lot of people like it, but it might be permabroke
Mmm first releases! Working from home, its nearly close of play. I know … I’ll update my work laptop.
OK I now have LXDE for a fall back WM so I can read stuff rather more easily than using links in a TTY and switched out SDDM for LightDM - I needed sddm-git to get LXDE to start up. SDDM now simply crashes and dumps core - no idea why. Oh and I have switched to Wayland because X11 no longer works for me. I might put off updating the wife’s laptop for a while, at least until I’ve done my work desktop 8)
I must say its all rather pretty and smooth. Scrolling now has drag and acceleration, which is nice. I’m sure I’ll get KRDC to talk to the sodding wallet so my 100s of RDP connections will work again. For now I’ll call xfreerdp from the konsole. Perhaps I’ll get around to configuring KeePassXC and get around to using that instead. I share several rather large .kdbx with the rest of the firm.
