KDE

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.

I have two routers in my network, one master router and another supplementary one that extends the main one using a LAN cable.

My desktop and laptop are always connected to the main router, but my phone sometimes connects to the other, due to me moving about the house. I keep having to manually connect back to the main router when I need to use KDE connect. I don't want to 'Forget' the second router as it is the only one that covers certain parts of my house, such as the kitchen.

Is there a way around this? I had earlier connected the second router to the main one without a cable (wireless extender) and KDE Connect worked well in that config. I'm sure I'll need to provide some more info about my router setups, but I'm not sure what is needed, I can give more context in response to queries.

I have signed up about 3 or 4 days ago and still can't log in. I didn't add an email, just a user name. I answered the question and all. Is there anyone who can approve my sign up request? Thanks

Apologies for the downtime of lemmy.kde.social. I made a minor update to our lemmy instance on Friday and this was a bad idea as this broke the server. I roll-backed our server from the last backup but ended up with the same issue. I unfortunately didn't had the time to investigate the issues during the weekend.

I finally got time to fix the issue and it turned out to be caused by a missing update of the upstream docker-compose file that I missed to apply on the server which caused an internal DNS issue between the frontend and backend.

Lesson learned, I won't do any update on a Friday anymore.

Hello, everyone I have posted this question on reddit and thought I'd post here, too. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit: I have found the solution. For some reason kscreen was unchecked from background services out of the box. Checked and enabled it and everything is good now.

So ever since an update around a month ago KDE has been running at around 1-2 fps under wayland. I don't really have a valid explaination I've checked modeset and that comes back as exepcted.

Hi guys! What's your way to get Dolphin to easily mount .iso files? I think it's a bit backwards to have to use the console just for this, in 2023...

EDIT: Just in case, I'm using KDE Neon.

Thanks!

I'm pasting this everywhere. Looking for a fix:
Question on KDE Discuss

While using KDE Wayland latest version, Flatpak apps always want to display an alert letting me know that the application is running in the background until I dismiss it. Is there a way to disable this? (Using Arch BTW)

With X11, it works without issue.

I'm trying to rename a bunch of files by removing all parenthetical from the file name EXCEPT if they contain a specific word.

For instance, say these are my files:

• File 1 (Boop) (Ver 1).file
• File 1 (Beep) (Ver 2).file
• File 2 (Soup).file
• Another File (Seep).file
• Yet Another (Ver 5).file

I want to KEEP any parenthetical with "Ver" and a number, but I want the rest gone.

So it should look like:

• File 1 (Ver 1).file
• File 1 (Ver 2).file
• File 2.file
• Another File.file
• Yet Another (Ver 5).file

I can write \(.*\) for Find and leave Replace blank to get rid of anything parenthetical, and it works great.

So I tried \((?!Ver).*\) and a bunch of alternatives, but it gives me the same result of just removing all parentheticals (even the ones I want). I have tried lookaheads, lookbehinds, and a bunch of syntax tweaks, but I always either end up with no parentheticals or all of them.

Any suggestions?

We have Tokodon for Mastodon and NeoChat for Matrix, but KDE app for Lemmy is missing here. Are there any plans for making one?

There are already some GTK clients, but they are not looking well on KDE Plasma.

Previously, after capturing a rectangular region, it shows a notification that its captured/saved and shows a notification with an 'Annotate' button. now it just opens a window with the capture always and I have to close the window each time after a quick capture. I have configured it to copy to my clipboard so I don't really need the window popping up after each capture. How do I bring it back to show only notifications?

I started noticing this after a recent update. Spectacle version: 23.08.0

So...yeah. Why is the first day of the week chosen by the format of the country you choose for everything related to the time section? As in, I'd like my first day of the week to start on Mondays, not Sundays, but now I need to figure a country that speaks English, also matches my preferred date format (DD/MM/YYYY), and chooses to have Mondays as first day of the week. As a person living abroad, this choice of having all pre-assigned per country makes it super cumbersome and having to have a reverse thought on how to get the right preference...Wouldn't there be an easier way to set these? Windows preset them as per your country of choice too, but then you can granularly change them at your own leisure...

Sorry didn't mean to rant, as I've been a KDE user for a very long time. But this has always been irking me, and I never quite got the reasoning behind.

Thanks!

Does anybody know how I can activate Maliit (Plasma's default on-screen keyboard) under SteamOS Desktop Mode? I have the impression that all my typos are because Steam's provided keyboard (STEAM+X) is not registering key presses correctly and I want to try an alternative.

/usr/lib/maliit exists but all the usual guides I found don't work...

just curious, why does https://krita.org/ is in Spanish, and https://krita.org/en in English?
