KDE

Hi,

How to make code folding buttons appear not only at start of blocks, but also at end of blocks, like the following in JetBrains ?

Thanks

I’m looking for an up-to-date Plasma 6 tutorial for making plasmoids. Just a simple “Hello world” done correctly for Plasma 6.

The tutorial is for Plasma 5 and doesn’t work for 6 as I have no idea what I’m doing, and I haven’t found a decent way to debug these. plasmoidviewer doesn’t provide great error messages.

I found a tutorial on Medium for Plasma 6; following it I get the not-useful-at-all message on screen ("Sorry, there was an error loading Hello World."), and this in my terminal:

kf.plasma.quick: error when loading applet "ca.taffer.hello" QList()

I even installed KDevelop hoping it might have a project template, but no luck. And the “Get more templates” button in KDevelop does nothing. 🤷

I realize Plasma 6 is very recent, but my first forays into hacking for it have been insanely frustrating, which isn’t the new dev experience I want.

Finally the Onboard on screen keyboard works on Wayland

This is too great not to share. Wayland devs hate this trick! I'll copy what I did from the bug report.

As a workaround you can use https://github.com/Supreeeme/extest to make Onboard work. Compile it as a 64 bit library and launch onboard with

env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libextest.so onboard

If you want to use it with KDE you can add

X-KDE-Wayland-VirtualKeyboard=true

to its desktop-file.

I used kwin rules to get rid of window decorations and have it always on top without stealing focus. If someone knows how to make all other windows smaller when it's active that would be great.

Only problem remaining is that sometimes the keys get stuck on touch input. At least on my Steam Deck on OpenSUSE.

Available as an Appimage.

Needs typst installed in the same directory or PATH to allow rendering and export.

Typst is a new, simpler alternative to LaTeX, written in Rust. It did a big headstart, seems to be in a great state and has a lot of sponsors!

Currenlty there only is a VSCode / VSCodium Extension and a Webapp. A Kate extension would be great of course.

There also is a Language server for Typst which seems actively maintained.

Alternative

Typst has a watch mode, which automatically compiles the PDF.

You can then edit the source with any editor you want (best with LSP) and preview the PDF with Okular.

typst watch document.typ &
okular document.pdf &

Hi,

After offline updates, KDE neon shows the GRUB menu, despite being otherwise disabled.

How to prevent that ?

Thanks

Is there an option in plasma to snap mouse pointer automatically to default button in a dialog box?

I get the idea behind it for sure but why use our available ram for this? I thought whatever init functionality would just wipe clean /tmp at boot.

Right now what I'm looking at is that if a system has 16gbram KDE Neon uses half of it for /tmp.

The thing is applications could output to /tmp for a plethora of reasons that could maximize that. Whether you are a content creator or processing data of some sort leaving trails in /tmp the least I want is my ram being used for this thing regardless.

Basically if you drop-in a 10GB file in /tmp right now (if your setup has tmpfs active) you will see a 10GB usage in your htop. Example in https://imgur.com/a/S9JIz9p

I'm not here to pick a fight but as a new KDE Neon user I'm scratching my head on the why after years in Arch Linux.

Installed KDE Neon today but the whole tray area popup is not working?

Updated everything using pkcon update. After installing everything works fine it just that there's nothing when you try to open things like wife selector or power management features.

I've installed Arch Linux with KDE Plasma 6 on it, but the widget system tray is not working as intended... Does someone have a solution? THX

The second maintenance release of the 24.02 series is out with performance optimizations when moving clips in the timeline and across multiple project bins, packaging improvements to macOS and Windows versions and fixes to copy/paste of effects, rotoscoping, Nvidia encoding among others.

I dont do video editing, but I guess a kdenlive community on this server would make sense?

If people are interested, I am sure that would be beneficial :D

Look! No ads!

Take back control. Choose Plasma.

Korganizer keeps showing my appointments in the wrong time zone.

In the settings > time&date, I have middle European time set, but when I want to create a new event (or later when editing one), it's always set to UTC time nd I have to remember always to adjust the time zone, which can lead to problematic situations if I forget.

I believe it's a bug, but maybe there's another setting I can tweak that I haven't discovered yet?

How can we ensure energy data from KEcoLab are stable?

@sthak9 has some ideas.

"Ensuring KEcoLab Stability: Introducing Dedicated CI-Test"

https://eco.kde.org/blog/2024-04-12-sok24-energy-measurement-lab/

#KEcoLab is a KDE tool for measuring software's #energy consumption, but it needs robust testing to ensure stable functionality after code changes. Sarthak presents his work in Season of #KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds with #Kate test scripts.

Selenium automation for measuring software's energy consumption?

@prady0t wants to guide you!

I was wondering if it is possible to change the world size in Marble for the coordinate system. I have created a custom map of a world slightly bigger than earth in QGIS but if I put the image on marble and then import the rivers, locations and routes as json files everything is off due to the extents being bigger than earth in QGIS.

I figured since you can make it smaller for the moon it could be enlarged for a custom planet but I can't find information in the documentation.
