Hello,

Trying to build KDE on Debian Stable. I'm stuck on these difficulties :

* I had to build Qt5 myself ('cos Debian's is outdated). Which Qt5 version should I use ? I used :

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.9
perl init-repository
./configure --prefix=/mnt/data2/kde/qt5git -opensource -release -nomake tests -nomake examples -confirm-license -no-gtk -dbus -no-separate-debug-info -xcb -system-xcb -qpa xcb -release -force-debug-info -reduce-relocations -optimized-qmake -no-gstreamer
make install

Is it correct ?

Hi KDE project maintainers,

tl;dr <a href="https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Continuous_Integration_System" title="https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Continuous_Integration_System">https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Continuous_Integration_System</a>
now tells how to make sure KDE CI picks up your new "stable" branch

Some days ago I found that a few products on KDE CI in the "Extragear" section
had not seen builds of their stable branches for some months (I remember at
least Krita & Kexi), despite being under good development.

Reason was that for those products a needed step had not been done after the
"stable" branches were switched to new ones:
manually triggering an initial build with the new branch
(needed with current CI

Hey all I wanted to help generate awareness for an Update Notifier plasmoid
for Arch Linux and possibly create an online blog post to help people know
about it.

For those who don't know Arch Linux has you manually upgrade packages through
the terminal.

My Plasmoid is a front end for it.

You can checkout my github page for screenshots and more information.

Current Features:

* change refresh interval
* turn version numbers on and off
* show upgrade in konsole or yakauke
* AUR support
* Custom Icon Support

I am proud to announce the third CMake 3.12 release candidate.
<a href="https://cmake.org/download/" title="https://cmake.org/download/">https://cmake.org/download/</a>

The first two 3.12.0 release candidates included a change to allow
the target_link_libraries command to modify targets created outside
the current directory. This has been reverted in rc3 due to
problems with visibility of the linked targets.

Hi all,

We've recently completed configuration of a new mail server which will
be replacing the current system which handles kde.org mail.

Hi,

I would like to organize a BoF for Flatpak and Snap related stuff, to discuss
our support of sandboxing, plans for future and so on.

Hi, would anyone be against limiting who can create
v${NUMBER}.${NUMBER}.${NUMBER}
i.e. tags that look like our release tags to members of the release team for
the KDE Applications git repositories?

Rationale: Some distros build from git tags so creating a "release looking
tag" is for them like "using the release tarball" and we already limit who can
upload release tarballs to the download.kde.org so it would be a similar
restriction but for the git side.

Cheers,
Albert

Hi people,

From what I can see, the kdeexamples repo is mostly unmaintained (the
last useful commit dates back to 2014), the master branch only
contains KDE 4 code and the frameworks-scratch branch is just as
ancient.

I propose the following:
1. Create a branch (or tag) called master-unmaintained, master-old or
whatever you prefer, pointing to the current HEAD
2. Obliterate everything from the repo, leaving only a
README.unmaintained file, reading:

Hello, I am Bhavesh(username:bp_) from India and a newbie to open source. I
am a college student and really want to contribute. Mainly, I program in
C++ and I am comfortable with the basics as well as some data structures. I
found KDE to be the perfect place to start my open source journey and I am
willing to learn any new technologies/languages/frameworks which will be
required to contribute.

Title says it all.

No need for long explanations, I am just not enjoying it any more.
Time to move on, sorry.

Best of luck,

And the question is which version to use for the project?
I.e. whether it should be a standalone project or a part of Plasma?

Cheers,
Alexander.

Hello Mailinglist!

I wrote this topic already to another mailinglist and asked some of my
freinds. But no one seems to have the faintest idea what could cause
this problem or how to track it down. So maybe someone of you can help?

Distribution: openSuSE 42.3

I have 2 HP Color Laserjets attached to the LAN.

Hi kde-devel,

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?

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

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,

My first KDE4 to KF5 port has gone well and the app now compiles and runs
without any warning messages. :) However, I am now trying to improve some
things.

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.

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.
