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.

So today I clicked 'enable HDR' on one of my monitors and something broke. The whole system froze up and the HDR monitor went black. If I reboot it freezes right after I login.

If I unplug that monitor or start in X11 instead of Wayland then everything is fine. Plugging the HDR monitor in while I'm logged into a Wayland session also freezes everything.

How can I disable the HDR setting? The monitor doesn't show in System Settings whilst its unplugged so I'm hoping theirs some way to fix it on the CLI. The only place I've found HDR referenced is .config/kwinoutputconfig.json. I set HDR to false but after reboot it's set to true again. I also tried deleting .config/kwinrc and .local/share/kscreen but no luck.

I'm fine with just resetting all Display settings if that's required.

----- UPDATE ------

Bug report filed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485403

Fixed by

• Ctrl + Alt + F3 to go into terminal
• Set HighDynamicRange and WideColorGamut to false in ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json
• Execute plasmashell --replace
• Reboot, Login, Reattach HDR Monitor

------ UPDATE ------

After updating and trying again today the steps above no longer worked. You still need to change ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json but plasmashell --replace no longer works for me.

Running killall kwin_wayland also just bumps me from my terminal back into the desktop. kwin can't be running when you change that file or it will be overridden.

I booted into a separate Linux Live USB and change the files that way.

Thank you everyone for your help 🎉

After Plasma 6, Alt+f invokes Find, instead of forward word, and it's driving me nuts. I can't seem to find any shortcut to stop this. Konsole shortcuts show Ctrl+Shift+F for Find.

Are there some know issues with Tokodon and NeoChan on Android?

When I open them on Lineage 20 they just immediately close. They don’t trow any errors and don’t really know how to debug them.

Klevernotes is now available as a flatpak (Nightly version) through KDE cdn.

To install it, simply run:

flatpak install --user --or-update https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/klevernotes-nightly/org.kde.klevernotes.flatpakref

This is based on the following tutorial.
