[kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

Here we go again: New Plasma and KDE Applications are ready for testing in the [kde-unstable] repo.

New applications in this release: spectacle (replaces ksnapshot).
Ported to KF5: kamera, artikulate, klickety, knavalbattle, ktuberling, krfb, ksystemlog, poxml, ffmpegthumbs, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, kdesdk-thumbnailers, kdenetwork-filesharing
Dropped: ktux, amor, ksnapshot, superkaramba, kdeartwork

New packages in Plasma: breeze-gtk, kscreenlocker.

You need to have [testing] enabled. As usual, please report packaging issues to bugs.archlinux.org (using [kde-unstable] in the description), upsteam issues to bugs.kde.org

Known packaging issues:
- l10n packages are not available, so new KF5 apps will not be translated
- kdesdk-kioslave doesn't build with subversion 1.9

Thanks, arojas!

So far, just a few minor glitches, and Plasma on Wayland not working. But session is definitely usable, no showstoppers, at least for me.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

Plasma (Wayland) doesn't seem to work for me either, I just see the mouse cursor. This might still be the same problem as before, OOM in kinit preventing it from working.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

First tweak: if you have a widescreen monitor, and splash screen for Breeze theme seems square with blackness on the sides, 

/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/splash/Splash.qml

and either delete the line:

fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit

or comment it out:

/**    fillMode: Image.PreserveAspectFit       **/

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

Arojas - thx again.
KDE Team has published kde-l10n for 15.11.80, too. There is: http://forum.archlinux.org.pl/viewtopic … d=693#p693 PKGBUILD for build localization pack (for Polish language only, but it's very simple to prepare it for another languages).

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

Hi,

Just 2 glitches I can see.

1) plasma-pa volume control applet is invisible, though sound and the OSD work. There is an empty space in the system tray where the plasma-pa volume icon should be but you can't click on it.

2) plasma sticky notes now have no background, completely transparent, and even when you open settings the example colour sticky notes have no background either.

A cache issue?

This is a long-standing bug, it was also in 5.4. Remove and re-add the applet and it will show.

2) plasma sticky notes now have no background, completely transparent, and even when you open settings the example colour sticky notes have no background either.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

For me KDE wallet auto unlock as described here stopped working

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KD … y_on_login

This is quite frustrating as I have to unlock my gpg key twice.

Also some mails are not displayed in kmail. They are just empty.
When I downgrade they are displayed correctly again.

edit:
just noticed that symbols in icontasks are not greyed out when the window is minimized.
So it is hard for starters to distinguish if a program is already started

edit2:
"switching users" does nothing except to darken the screen

Yes, indeed, it seems that this stopped working. I haven't got any solution for this so on.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

@Xabre: thanks, your fix worked fine!
I can confirm wayland session issue (it is not starting) and plasma-pa issue (easily fixable).

Plasmoids:
I can add a new one only with drag and drop (double click not working) but...how to remove it? If I select it the plasmoid configuration options are not shown.

Click and hold. If you want the old behaviour, uncheck "Click applets to drag" on desktop settings.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

Seems that klickety-15.11.80-1 was built against older KF5:

klickety: error while loading shared libraries: libKF5KDEGames.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Should look for libKF5KDEGames.so.7 instead.

Rebuild from ABS and it works.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

I have filed a few bugs so far last night, but overall the beta seems sharp. @arojas - Probably a stupid question, but is there any way to get debug symbols for the beta? I just figure it would make bug reports more useful. Either way, thank you for all the work.

The pam plugin is installed to the wrong location.

Thanks, this was actually a workaround for an upstream bug in 5.4 which has been fixed in 5.5. Should be OK in 5.4.95-2

With 5.4.95-2 pam plugin works well.

Is there an opened ticket for Plasma on Wayland problem? If it is, can some one share the link?

Don't know if there is one, but upstream developers are well aware of it. For now you need to use the kinit-nooom package from AUR (updated to 5.16)

Thanks for clarifying this. Maybe we'll get to start kwin for wayland without kinit-nooom after this beta. That would surely be nice.

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

For those who report that they only see a cursor, please try this and report back here:

$ kwin_wayland --libinput --xwayland "plasmashell --platform wayland"

Re: [kde-unstable] Plasma 5.5 & KDE Applications 15.12 beta

I built kinit-nooom from AUR, and after that plasma on wayland start. Far from usable, but at least it starts.
