bugs.kde.org: kio vs frameworks-kio vs kfile etc.

By Nate Graham at 04/09/2018 - 14:01

Howdy folks,

Right now we have a lot of KIO bugs scattered around in various places:
- kio
- frameworks-kio
- kfile

Should we mark kio and kfile as not accepting new bugs, add some more components to frameworks-kio, consolidate everything there, and then eventually remove kio and kfile?

Status of Primary Selection Protocol

By Sedat Dilek at 04/05/2018 - 12:22

Hi,

what is the status of integrating your "Primary Selection Protocol"
RFC-v1 patch into wayland-protocols upstream [1]?

The background is I was trying KDE Plasma/Wayland v5.12 on
Debian/buster AMD64 and am used to have support for
middle-mouse-button pasting (primary selection) in my graphical
environment (see errata-list in [2] and bug-report in [3])

As far as I have understood the KDE people wait for an upstream
solution whereas GNOME did its own implementation of primary selection
support [6].

What are your plans?

Thanks for your feedback in advance.

Kind regards,

P.S.: R

Add Qt Bug 66008 to errata website for 'No support for primary selection (middle-click to paste)'

By Sedat Dilek at 04/05/2018 - 07:55

Hi,

I am trying Wayland support on KDE/Plasma 5.12 on Debian/buster AMD64.
On #debian-kde IRC I got some useful links like the errata website [1].
There is "No support for primary selection (middle-click to paste)" in
this list and found [3] as a reference.
Can you add the Qt-Bug #66008 (as I have no rights for editing)?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Trouble with tool bars

KDE in prefix install

By Allan Sandfeld ... at 03/28/2018 - 06:52

So after leaving neon to use a newer ubuntu (needed it for my hardware), I
have started building KDE myself again and tried setting my tradition install
in /opt and building with kdesrc-build.

I ran into a number of issues, many minor things I have already fixed by
patches. But there were two bigger issues with dbus-1 and polkit.

First kscreen doesn't work because it can't find its backends. While not
easily found, I did eventually find suggestions online to fix this by adding a
file in /etc/dbus-1/session.d with the prefix service dir.

AMOR maintenance

By Stefan Yohansson at 03/27/2018 - 20:04

Hi guys,

I recently opened an AMOR diff review and ask about the maintainer on irc
but no one knows who is maintaining and I think the project is orphan right
now. (correct me if I am wrong)

here is my patch: <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11475" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/D11475">https://phabricator.kde.org/D11475</a>

I have several themes for AMOR and a lot of ideas like include a theme
manager (like another kde applications)

so if you guys think it is a good idea, I am able to maintain the project.
Just let me know what should I do.

btw, thanks for all the good work on KDE framework.

major memory leak

By Jonathan Willis at 03/26/2018 - 15:40

I couldn't find a bug ticket service for kde plasma development, so
apologies if this is the wrong place.

I'm running into a major memory leak running kde plasma. After a few hours
the desktop environment consume about 20GB of RAM and continues to consume
another 15GB of swap space. After that my operating system has to kill off
applications to make space. I added a couple snapshots to show you that
killing off the plasmashell reclaims the memory used.

I'm running a thinkpad t570 with two monitors daisy chained to my laptop.

GSoC2018 - Panel Improvement Proposal Idea

By =?UTF-8?Q?Furka... at 03/25/2018 - 08:11

Hi KDE Devs,

For GSoC2018, as a long-term KDE user/lover, I want to make 2 important
improvements on KDE / Plasma-Workspace / Panel that will increase user
experience. By this mail, I'll just talk about the improvements without
any technical details. In the proposal, I'll tell about my plan to solve
the issues.

--------------> *Basic Information*
I always use KDE by placing the panel left and enabling auto-hide option
and as far as I see on the Internet, there are many people like me.

I need Unicode support

By ?? ?? at 03/20/2018 - 11:41

I think baloo is a useful toolkit for file managing. But as a Chinese, I can't bare the lack of Chinese support of baloo. So could you tell me how to support unicode file indexing or fix this issue?
thank you.

baloo needs to be notified of fuse mounts.

By Michael Heidelbach at 03/20/2018 - 06:45

Hi!

In order to fix bug 390830 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T8066> (== baloo
should not index plasma-vaults) I need a notification about mounts and
unmounts of fuse.encfs filesystems (and maybe others).

I've tried to find something suitable within Solid - without success so
far. Can you give me some hints, please?

Cheers,

Would it be good if I became baloo's maintainer?

By Michael Heidelbach at 03/15/2018 - 04:40

Hi!

Getting the stuff I do for baloo reviewed takes a lot of time and poking
others. That is considerably slowing me down.

I'm seriously thinking of becoming the maintainer for baloo (and maybe
baloowidgets). Then it would be easier for me to commit those patches I
consider as harmless e.g unit tests. Unless somebody else jumped in I
intended to maintain baloo eventually anyway. I would do it now(!)
mainly for practical reasons. Due to my lack of experience with c++, the
KDE way of using it and the KDE infrastructure in general I'm somewhat
reluctant.

Q_ASSERT(!FalseSecurity)

By Michael Heidelbach at 03/10/2018 - 04:53

Hi!

Am I getting something wrong? Or is

"Q_ASSERT(m_writeTrans);

m_writeTrans->commit();"

providing false security?

Shouldn't it better be

"Q_ASSERT(m_writeTrans);

if (m_writeTrans) {

    m_writeTrans->commit(); ?

Baloo's code is full of Q_ASSERTs that have no corresponding if-guard.

To my understanding those would slip through in release-builds. Am I wrong?

Please enlighten me,

Michael

Code in peace or How to lint a complete repository?

something similar for baloo and baloo-widgets.

I'd really like to that once and for all. Because applying coding style
on-the-fly obscures real changes introduced.

1. Would it be reasonable?
2. Who would be willing to review such a huge diff?

Latte Dock and tangerine font

By Michail V. at 02/27/2018 - 05:24

Today I received from RikMills that Latte was rejected from ubuntu because
it contains an OPL-licensed font (tangerine).

The discussion is at: <a href="https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/884" title="https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/884">https://github.com/psifidotos/Latte-Dock/issues/884</a>

The font is used just for a label in the configuration window to draw the
"Latte" text at the top-left corner. I thought that an alternative could

macos-like suspend to disk when the battery runs out for laptops

By fred thompson at 02/26/2018 - 05:09

on a laptop running macos, when the battery is low and when the laptop is
about to power off, mac osx automatically suspends the ram on to the hard
drive, and when the next time the device boots, it restores the last state
it has saved.

I would like this implemented in kde5, it would be as easy as adding a
function from the suspend libraries to the battery dying event

sorry if this msg is a little hard to understand, I'm on meds =(

thank you

Plasma Vault and BUG:390830

By Michael Heidelbach at 02/24/2018 - 04:57

Hi!

The best option to fix this bug is by excluding Vaults from being
searched by baloo.

Do that, I need to know how to distinguish vaults from normal folders
(and other mountpoints)

On first glance it appears they are all under ~/Vaults, please confirm.
What about localization?

Cheers,

Michael

Telepathy VS Kopete

By Valerio Pachera at 02/23/2018 - 11:15

Hi all, I noticed on my debian stretch koped is installed.
I was expecting to see telepathy.

Kde plasma 5.8.6 and kde framework 5.28.0.

Is telepathy the default IM program on kde 5?

Please comment on T8054

By Michael Heidelbach at 02/23/2018 - 08:17

It all said, except "Hi!"

... and maybe: C++-wise I'll be entering areas where I've never been before.

... and ...

Cheers,

Using Froglogic to test our application

By Emmanuel Charruau at 02/17/2018 - 06:07

Hi everybody,

We would like to automate gcompris testing.
I found this article
<a href="https://www.froglogic.com/news/froglogic-announces-kde-edition-of-gui-testing-tool-squish/" title="https://www.froglogic.com/news/froglogic-announces-kde-edition-of-gui-testing-tool-squish/">https://www.froglogic.com/news/froglogic-announces-kde-edition-of-gui-te...</a>
while looking for solutions.
Do you know if it still exists (the article is from 2006) and did you
already use it?
If you did, what did you test using it?
Did it find some bugs you would have missed without this tool?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Emmanuel

Need help regarding heading into the Okular Feature: 388450

By Dileep Sankhla at 02/16/2018 - 16:10

Hello devs,

I have spent the past three days in heading into this feature request [1]
regarding scrolling the annotations along with the scrollbar and I have
been finding out how to unfix the position of the annotation window that
remains fixed to its position while scrolling the pageview.
I'm trying to get an idea from the annotations that remains glued to the
pageview and do scroll with the scrollbar and hence applying the same
approach ( and a bit of the similar code too) in order to achieve this on
the annotation window.
But now the problem is I'm confused inside the large codebase and I

Release notes appear below and are also published at

Why does kdelibs4support/src/kio/kfilemetadatawidget still exist?

By Michael Heidelbach at 02/14/2018 - 07:36

Hi!
Looking at lxr.kde.org
<https://lxr.kde.org/ident?_i=KFileMetaDataWidget> it seems like dolphin
is the only "real" client of KFileMetaDataWidget. Dolphin is not using
it because of
#ifndef HAVE_BALOO
    m_metaDataWidget = new KFileMetaDataWidget(parent);
#else
    m_metaDataWidget = new Baloo::FileMetaDataWidget(parent);
#endif

(How is a clause like the one above called?)
So, what might be the reasons for KFileMetaDataWidget's existence in
kdelibs4support?

Cheers,
Michael
