1. I start my computer ;
2. The loading screen appears ;
3. The login screen appears (but logging in will not work) ;
4. The screen turns black with underscore ;
5. The login screen reappears (logging in will finally work) ;
6. I'm logged in.

It has been like that for a while, I expected this bug to be found & fixed eventually, but after running an update today, it still hasn't, which is why I'm now posting here.

So, when the login screen first appears :

• either I have time to type my password & press enter, but afterwards the login screen still disappears then reappears as if I never tried to log in ;
• or I'm still typing the password while it disappears then it reappears as if I never started typing ;
• or I wait for it to disappear & reappear, and only then I can finally log in.

What to do ?

Thank you

A nice little anecdote and important message

Some time ago (I think january) Amarok, was updated in Debian, from 2.9.x to 3.x (now it is 3.2.2). After the upgrade Amarok no longer showed the things from the database (lyrics, listen counts, etc).

I would like to restore the statistics database but I did not find the steps. Could you point me to the right instructions, or provide some advice about how to work on this?

Just found out about this guy on YouTube named Nuxttux because I've been trying to make some social media videos.

Kdenlive is a completely different beast than the one that I remember using a couple of years ago. It has so much functionality in it, like all the "TikTok effects", proxy clips, rendering previews, visualizing effect curves between keyframes... like damn. This is actually legit software now for my basic needs.

The thing is, it seems like these were all added in the past 2 years, because I had 23.x installed through the Debian repo and I upgraded through Flatpak to 24.12 and it seems to have added all of these?

Anyway holy shit. Go give these guys some money. This is game changing

I looked at KWin::Window on the Kwin scripting API page but didn’t find any ways to make a given window become maximized.

I configured steam to open on a separate desktop using window rules, but it also grabs the attention and plasma will automatically switch to the desktop it opened to. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

Steam opens 3 windows, so switching to another desktop will be reverted 3 times.
