KDE

Game affected by it: DBD (my other games are isometric, but I doubt it's only DBD).

Anyone has this issue? More importantly, anyone found a solution? IDK if that matters, but I use 2 toolbars which go over the window, but neither get highlighted, so I do not believe they're stealing the focus. I tried hiding them and it didn't help, further making me believe they're not the issue.

This week in KDE: a deluge of new features

This problem existed too in Plasma 5, but I was so excited that after the update to 6, there finally was a toggle for some kind of "don't ask about this again for this device" but it seems to do nothing.

So is this bug ever going to be fixed? Or is it actually not a bug? What are your workarounds? I hate that I have to walk to my TV stand to press enter everytime I turn on the machine.

Does anyone experience this bug with Plasma 6 Wayland and Firefox Wayland? Basically you drag and rearrange a bookmark in 'other bookmark' or home page, FF auto opens a bookmark above the bookmark you rearranged.

Video demo

• OS: Arch Linux with Plasma 6 from official repo
• Firefox version: 123.0.1 (64-bit)

Already filed a bug at Firefox bugzilla

Since the update, if I snap Firefox to the top the mouse seems to be offset a number of pixels compared to where the actual cursor is. It also affects the content in sites, not just stuff in Firefox.

Edit: Looks like it's not just when it's snapped, but as soon as it passes about the top 90% of the screen. Just took a screenshot, where you can see the cursor is hovering over Other Bookmarks, but it's activating the menu above it.

Posted about it on reddit, and I'm bringing it here. Anyone has this issue?

PSA to those who use sunshine with KDE

Disable the systemd unit file I feel it just adds more troubleshooting. Use KDE's autostart for Sunshine.

If your sunshine is still broken, update the monitor to 0 in the web ui. Remember that monitor count will be different to some extent.

Use KMS until NVIDIA adds support to wayland for its NvFBC. It will take an eternity sadly. Enjoy!

And no, Steam client sucks in Wayland with all the flickering. That's the bad news #kde #linux #linuxgaming

I have been trying to connect to a server using sftp from Dolphin. I unfortunately get the following error message:

kex error : no match for method server host key algo: server [ssh-dss], client [ssh-ed25519,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com,sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com,rsa-sha2-512,rsa-sha2-256]

The problem might be that the server uses the legacy ssh-dss for connections, which is disabled by openSSH. But while with ssh you may add the flag

-oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss

to enable it’s use again, yet I can’t find any option to do the same in Dolphin. Is there any way to do this?

I’m on NixOS 24.05 with KDE Plasma 6.0.0 from the unstable branch.

Original Post

I've had a similar issue in the past (KDE Plasma 5), which was perfectly solved by this solution, but, unfortunately, since updating to KDE Plasma 6, it has reappeared in the form of the mouse cursor changing its size when it hovers over certain applications.

For example:

Small cursor:

Large cursor:

I have so far observed this behaviour with KeePassXC (v2.7.6, Flatpak), Nextcloud Desktop (v3.12.1, Flatpak), and KWrite (v23.08.5, Flatpak).

I have tried reverting the afformentioned workaround for the previous issue, but then the old issue returns, only without this new sizing issue. How do I fix this?

• Operating System: Arch Linux
• KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1
• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
• Qt Version: 6.6.2
• Kernel Version: 6.7.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)
• Graphics Platform: Wayland

Update (2024-03-09T00:20Z)

This may be an issue with Flatpak. An update to KWrite's Flatpak just came out, then I ran KWrite to check if the issue was fixed, and it was — the mouse cursor is no longer enlarged when it hovers over the app. I suspect that when an update rolls out for the other two applications the issue will be fixed, but I'll just have to wait and see.

With Plasma 6 I can now edit my screen brightness from my toolbar, but I don't see the option to schedule it like the Night Light. Is there a way to do so?

Some time ago I created an account there just to report some bugs, but for some reasons I want to delete my account and being honest the page itself it's not very clear in how I can do that, maybe is easy but I cannot find how to do it.

Clearly I already search in my User Preferences panel but I did not find anything related to deleting my account.

Kudos to the KDE Team for the smooth transition to Plasma 6

Granted I don't really modify my system heavily so maybe that's why.

I'm using archlinux with plasma 5 & wayland. From time to time it just starts flickering for some reason...

If I need to change drivers just let me know. I don't game or do anything graphical on this laptop. Only software development on vscode and chatting.

Plasma 6.0.1, the first batch of corrections and enhancements to Plasma 6.0, has landed

The next update will be delivered promptly next Tuesday, 12th of March.

#Plasma6

@kde I'm quite happy with the Plasma6 release, but I have number of regression with respect to Plasma5.

The worst, by far, is that lockscreen seems to be broken. I use password or fingerprint, with pam configured to ask for fingerprint after password failure. When I unlock after sleep, the greeter only displays an "unlock" button with an open lock icon. Clicking it does nothing. If I manually trigger the screen locker, I can unlock once, but on the second try it usually hangs.

Second problem: touchpad gestures in wayland. It was already a pain that one could not personalize these actions, but at least the defaults were ok for me (3 finger up/down for desktop grid/present windows). And I could use fusuma for more.
The new defaults hijacks all 3-finger gestures to scroll one virtual desktop up/down left/right which I find useless.

And all those widgets which have not been ported yet, and probably never will. I tried to give a quick look at the two I used most, but it is too far away from my kind of programming.

How... do I log into lemmy, say KDE Social lemmy using my Mastodon account? #kde #linux #kdesocial @kde I'm not sure how this works 👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼

I got a big keyboard with F13-F24 keys. So here is the thing:

If you want to use e.g.: F22 as a shortcut in e.g.: Plasma settings it will get regonized as Touchpad On instead of as F22: https://imgur.com/a/GiyhBwD

The same goes for F13-F24:

F13 -> Tools
F14 -> Launch(7)
F20 -> Microphone Mute
F21 -> Touchpad Toggle
...

The shortcuts do work but the key name is just not correct.

I'd imagine that's because of the function keys on laptops..? But I am not using a laptop.

Anways one way to "fix" this in X11 was to create a .Xmodmap file:

keycode 191 = F13 F13 F13
keycode 192 = F14 F14 F14
[...]
keycode 202 = F24 F24 F24

and afterwars the system will regonize e.g.: F22 as F22: https://imgur.com/a/LB29wgo

A .Xmodmap file does not work in Wayland. What are my options here?

Thank you for your help.

PS: I found a simliar question here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/remapping-keys-such-as-f13/10275/3 but not answer.
I also found https://old.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/x3tff6/adding_f13_f24_keys/kf36xa0/ but I want a real solution that works on the "user level" (like a .Xmodmap file in my home directory)...

Plasma 6: activities remember virtual desktops between switching

I've noticed that when I switch between two activities, I always get onto the same virtual desktop that I've been using on the activity before switching off from it. I'd like to be able to always stay on current virtual desktop. If I recall correctly, you could toggle that before, but seems like the setting is gone now in plasma 6 (In "Apps & Windows" -> "Activities")? Is it been removed?

@kde

I agree with @BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online a lot here.

I think a color scheme solves a lot, but the color gradients etc. are still gone.

What is your favourite non-white light theme, best for Plasma 6?

Please add a screenshot!

One of the KDE Plasma features I use almost in daily basis is the MouseMark.

Go to your settings, in Desktop Effects, Enable the MouseMark (you can change the settings of it in the button in front of it). Then press Meta+Shift and move your mouse to doodle, or press and release Meta+Shift+Ctrl to define beginning and end of an arrow (it will draw the rest.

Interestingly enough, it have been in Plasma for the past 16 years:
