KDE

I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it. It also lets you do things like Rt-click on it and do the regular operations like Search in Firefox. Spaces aren't preserved unless you specifically select them but search engines seem to be able to sort out the words usually.

I post this in case you haven't been part of the 10,000 this day already, like me.

Edit: seems to work in Firefox and LibreOffice, but not Kate or Okular. I'd love to see this as a general feature, it's handy as heck.

Thanks

... Update: Yes! If you favorite at item, it takes priority in the search results...

I noticed that Spectacle has an option to upload to Imgur and Nextcloud. Is there a way to allow it to upload to an SFTP server?

Ideally I'd like for it to upload the file via SFTP then put the URL on my clipboard, which is what I do with ShareX on Windows.

Hi,

KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (22.04 at the moment)

— KDE neon

Since 22.04 no longer is the latest Ubuntu LTS, is KDE neon now based on 24.04, or is it still based on 22.04 ?

It would be nice to have this info in About this System, so we wouldn't be in doubt.

Thanks

Hi,

Notice the breeze twilight doesn't follow the color scheme. Trying to achieve a dark panel with light windows but not sure how to this manually?

Tq

Edit 13/5/24 - posted a screenshot. On breeze twilight, the the dark panel doesn't change following the custom colour scheme chosen.

KDE applications have some issues with their icons outside of Plasma. This post shows the current state and what can be done to improve it.

This week in KDE: our cup overfloweth with cool stuff for you

FOSS - ensuring even new hardware stays in use when vendor-support eventually ends!

Whether or not you install GNU/Linux on it today, your new #Mac will eventually lose #Apple support. Thanks to the impressive work of #Asahi #Linux project (@AsahiLinux), it will not need to end up in the landfill once it does.

Great to see #KDE #Plasma as the default desktop environment!

Git repo where I put the current progress

Kdeconnect is very cool but also pretty sensitive. There are many reasons why people would like to turn it off.

I already tried placing an empty autostart file with the same name in ~/.local/share/applications/ (same with discovernotifier) and this didnt do anything.

Another option would be simply closing the firewall (which will be done by default) but I think this doesnt affect bluetooth?

# One time so systemd picks up the new file:
systemctl --user daemon-reload
# to start/stop:
systemctl --user start kdeconnect.service
systemctl --user stop kdeconnect.service
# to enable, which means it is started automatically when you login (and killed when you logout. The --now part also starts/stops it right away
systemctl --user enable --now kdeconnect.service
# and disable
systemctl --user disable --now kdeconnect.service
# output status and log (add e.g. -n 30, if you want to have more log lines)
systemctl --user status kdeconnect.service

Uninstalling is not an option, as on Fedora Atomic desktops users cant reinstall apps that were uninstalled in the image building process.

I am planning a uBlue variant with enhanced security and need to fix this issue. Especially using it via bluetooth is great, but of course also attack surface.

Season of KDE (SoK) participants have improved translations, Kdenlive, LabPlot and more.

SoK is KDE's mentorship program that helps members of the public become active open source contributors.

This year, participants have translated apps into more languages, implemented multi-format rendering and keyframe curve editing in @kdenlive , ported @be4foss testing tools to Windows, added options for importing and exporting data to @LabPlot and much, much more.

I have a very cool Core 2 Duo laptop here that runs Linux Mint.

And it is pretty aweful. Would love to put Fedora Kinoite (Atomic KDE) on there, manual upgrades on shutdown, minimal set of apps.

But I dont know how well Plasma works on such old hardware. It is pretty bloated and messy sometimes, Dolphin and plasmashell are my biggest worries (the whole panel and widget stuff is sooo complex).

Has anyone tried Plasma?

An alternative would be LXQt with KWin once 6.1 comes out and it has full Wayland support.

I'm using task switcher with Recently used sort order, but I still feel unsure if it's the same behavior

Great to see that krfb-virtualmonitor is usable with wayland! So, kde is compatible with the wireless pc-on-tv feature on samsung tv.

My secondary head for my couch-office!

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I'm hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I'm the person who can never learn how to use the shift to capitalize my letters and use caps-lock religiously. I have been using this fix on xorg, but it doesn't work on wayland, and I'm now back to square one. Any kind soul here knows how I can fix this issue? Thank you

Does that exist ?

Thanks

I've seen a lot of conflicting information on the topic, so I'm curious if there is an updated official policy that I haven't been able to find.

I wrote a blog post about my experiences on daily driving Plasma Mobile

So, I like working with tiled WMs sometimes though not always. And Polonium is working great for that in Plasma 6. But as I said, I don't want it enabled 24/7. And rather than open settings and toggling it on and off every time, it'd be wonderful if I could harness the power of KDE activities and automatically toggle it on in a particular activity and off on any other. Is it possible?

I'm moving from ChromeOS to Manjaro. I want to put the Task Manager on the right edge of the screen, but don't see how to do this. I'm pretty sure this was possible a long time ago.

Running KDE Plasma 5.27.11 and Wayland.
