KDE

Hi!

Running Fedora KDE, I've got two monitors side by side. If I move the mouse slowly from one to the other, it seems to catch on the edge between. It makes interacting with things near the edges of the monitor a pain in the ass, if I overshoot with a large gesture to move the mouse to that region and then some unseen force prevents me from precisely moving the mouse back.

Both Mastodon & Bluesky suggest that you add alt text to images to improve accessibility for the visually impaired The text is not retained

I'm using KDE Connect to share between an iPhone and a machine running Ubuntu 22.04. For the most part, it works as expected, but clipboard sharing only happens one way.

Hi,

Hello everyone!

@kde I've been using Global Menu for a while, but since it is less and less supported, I've finally removed the widget.

Hi All,

I've started using Yakuake as a terminal recently. The only thing that's bothering me is the fact, that the window background doesn't actually get transparent even though I enabled the corresponding setting. I found some older mentions of this, but no solution so far.

Hi,

Back in 2017, a bug report was created on bugzilla asking for 'Locally Integrated Menus' like the Unity desktop. This was a feature where the menubar of an app was displayed in the titlebar, appearing on hover by default (though you could make it always visible).

@BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social this might make for a good video https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375951 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/merge_requests/126/commits

Running android 14, oneUI v6.1.1. I go to filesystem expose > add storage location in the connect app, but I can't figure out a way to path to videos. Maybe that's considered a protected system folder and hidden or something? I notably can't manually type a path, so even having that may not help. I need a way to get there via the GUI.

Hi,

⚠️ATTENTION KPhotoAlbum USERS!⚠️ Update to KPhotoAlbum 6.0.1!

They all look bad for some reason, sometimes even completely unreadable because of the lack of padding between lines of text or dark-on-dark text color.

In multi-monitor, every time I run my mouse between screens, if I'm too high or low, it catches on the hot corner areas. I could see it being wanted if I were dragging a window so I could use them to snap to, but every other time it's just a pain in the ass, especially since I turn off all the hot corner functions anyway.

I'm sorting and renaming old video files, and one of the pieces of information I need is the date the video was filmed. By default dolphin shows the date the file was created/modified/accessed, but not shot. I have verified this information exists on the file with the MediaInfo app, which shows what I need under the encoded and tagged dates. Is there a way to have dolphin also show that information for video files? Bonus points if it can convert the default timezone of the stamps (UTC) to local.

I have the permanently delete option enabled on the right click menu, and every time I want to delete something, this is how large it shows up. . Is there a way to make it smaller? This is unnecessarily large for a window with very little functionality. Is this a bug that I should report?

I knew I had seen this option somewhere at some point in KDE's plethora of customization options. But why is it in the keyboard advanced options??? Shouldn't this be in the display config section? Or at least in the shortcuts section!

After a system start today, I was suddenly prompted with KDE Wallet requiring a password. I have not needed this before, and I could not seem to enter a password it would accept ("Error code -9: Read error - possibly incorrect password."). I can't remember setting this up, but it might have been something I did when I first set up my system. However, I would either have remembered it or stored the password in my main password manager, and there is no trace of it there.

So, I just had to reinstall my system and I'm now going through setting things up and SDDM was too tiny since I have two monitors that are 4k. So I set a hidpi.conf file in /etc/sddm.conf.d and put this in it

As described in this AskUbuntu post, basically every time there's some audio playback, there is a variable delay when the audio starts. It can range from anything like a fraction of a second to a full two seconds.

KDE has a massive collection of app, and I combed through them to find some of the lesser-known hidden gems that people may not be aware of. Here is a list of my favorites. - Kirogi: A ground control software. It only supports a few drones right now, but should get MAVLink support in the future. - KStars: An astronomy software that lets you view the positions of planets and stars, as well as a whole lot of other features related to astronomy. - Licentia: A license comparison app. It lets you view and compare free software licenses. It has the full license text as well as a simplified list of features of it. - KDE Itinerary: An app for travel planning. Well designed, with detailed station views courtesy of Openstreetmap. - KTrip: Similar to Itinerary, a public transport navigation app - Alpaka: An Ollama client for running LLMs

When my PC wake up from sleep, all the windows are in the main display (I have 2) and in the top half. Is there a way to save the windows position every x minutes so that when it wakes up I can restore it?

I have a company vpn with globalprotect that needs to autenticate via web interface (saml) All fin when using GNOME and network manager global protect plugin. When on kde no embedded web view pops up in network manager, it takes some time and then fails with an xml error.

I have come across this interesting system settings module on Pling store. Is there a way to install it from within system settings like we can a theme, icons, widgets etc.? Or is it necessary to configure the package manager as suggested on the site?

I have deleted my Breeze theme for SDDM (don't ask me how and why. lol) and I can't find it anywhere. I have triedsudo pacman -S plasma-workspace, but it is not getting installed. Any other way to install it? Thank you in advance

Hi everybody! I've just installed Kubuntu and I'm using Linux gui for the first time. I have 2 4K screens, one horizontal and one vertical. With Windows I divide the horizontal one in 4 equal parts and the vertical in 3 parts so that all are almost 16:9 and each have it's own taskbar that's so useful to me because I know what I've opened in every virtual screen and if in virtual screen there is Outlook, but I need to take in foreground Chrome that I know it's there (but it's also in other screens), I can click on Chrome on the virtual screen 1 taskbar. If there are no multiple taskbar, I would have to click on Chrome on the main taskbar and select which window I need (which can be problematic because not always it's possible to see what's going on in the small preview).
