KF 5 & Plasma

quiqueck · 2015-01-28 18:04:03

I have some locale issues with kf5 applications. German umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) are not displayed under some circumstances. For konsole i fixed this by setting the encoding from "US ASCII" to UTF-8.

In Gwenview it looks different: The ui shows all umlauts, but if i try to open a file from "File -> Open" Folders with umlauts are NOT shown... This is really strange... files with umlauts are shown.

Any ideas?

I'm getting pretty poor performance with nvidia-340xx drivers on plasma 5. I've been trying to switch to EGL instead of GLX but it doesn't seem to work.

KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE=egl kwin_x11 --replace
[...]
kwin_core: Forcing EGL native interface through environment variable
kwin_core: Initializing OpenGL compositing
kwin_core: bind OpenGL API failed
kwin_core: Creating the OpenGL rendering failed:  "Could not initialize rendering context"
kwin_core: Failed to initialize compositing, compositing disabled
[...]

Has anyone managed to run kwin with EGL?

It's working fine here. Did you choose "German" in systemsettings -> regional-settings -> preferred languages? That's the only thing i did different than the usual stuff like /etc/locale.conf or localectl. (i guess, both are set correctly on you system)

I did not change those settings, so they are as i set them....
My gwenview version is:

Version 5.0.0 pre
Unter KDE Frameworks 5.6.0

This behaior is quite different: In kate all Files and folders where displayed, and correct displayed. In Qt creator the files and folders with german umlauts are displayed but the umlauts where displayed doubled as inverted questionmarks... This files and folders couldn't be opened.

Dolphin has no problems with such files/folder. if i try to open an image from dolphin with gwenview it results in "gewenview couldn't open this file". If i open this file from dolphin with gimp, all is fine. So this is no issue with the file or filesystem.

LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C

here is a screenshot from konsole... look at the tab at the bottom:

locale failure

kostas213 · 2015-01-29 00:02:06

I suppose you have already run locale-gen, right? I have the de_CH.UTF-8 locale select and it works (I tried konsole just as you did).

I have another mysterious problem. In the case of long window titles, they are cropped only by 3 (!) letters which are substituted with 3 dots. Also at window decorations at system settings, I just get a black screen. I don't know if this is normal. See the picture below.

I encountered that "black screen" in the window decorations module too, but the next time I opened system settings it was gone and showed the intended content.

quiqueck · 2015-01-29 09:38:07

Found the wrong part... i can't remember why, but one day i added

export LC_ALL=

in my /etc/profile...

I commented this line, reboot and all is fine.

Thanks for any answer

I've just installed it on my laptop to no avail. I replaced KDM with SDDM and removed kdeworkspace prior to installing plasma... SDDM starts up fine, I can log in, get the KDE loading screen then I get a black screen with a mouse pointer and nothing else. Any ideas how I can recover this?

edit: If anyone has this problem it's a config issue. I ran

mv .kde4 .kde4.old
mv .config .config.old
mv .cache .cache.old
mv .local .local.old

and I can now log in. I'm not sure which of these was causing the issue but after removing these directories it works as expected!

Reading kde forums, it was most likely the .config directory. You shouldn't have removed it completely though, as it contains user settings for all of your programs, not just kde5

kostas213 · 2015-01-29 14:05:05

An update for the cropped text on the toolbar. I changed to Plastik theme and there the problem does not exist, it only appears on Breeze. Does anyone have this problem (see picture in my previous post)?

Edit: It only does it when I select some other font than the default (Oxygen) for the title bar. My chosen font is Droid Sans, and the problem appears at font size 9 and 10. At 11 it is disappeared.

Any ideas on how to run KDE Telepathy without removing all conflicting packages or (re)compiling everything from git?

I can see it too. strace kded5 shows an infinite loop of this:

I've either bit hit with the stupid stick or really inept search queries, but for the life of me I can not figure out how to remove widgets from a panel without removing the entire panel.

V1del · 2015-01-29 16:21:39

@croxis go into the edit mode of the panel, then you can move widgets around or remove them

croxis · 2015-01-29 16:27:54

Got it! Thanks.

Xabre · 2015-01-29 17:59:02

Some things, like plasma theme, plasmoid configs and such are stored in ~/.local/share/plasma, should remove it as well to fully reset plasma configuration.

Earlier today I tried plasma 5, but I had absolutely terrible performance in Netbeans. The program was almost not responsive at all, used too much memory and processor. Has anyone tried it?

I'm also Netbeans user, and haven't noticed any difference in comparison with old plasma or, say, cinnamon. I have got manual Netbeans installation and use this command to start:

./netbeans --userdir /some/my/dir -J-da -J-Xss16m -J-Xmx2G -J-Dswing.aatext=true -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=lcd -J-Dorg.netbeans.editor.aa.extra.hints=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true --fontsize 13

Does anyone know if there is a timezone locale that uses ISO dates and 24 hour clocks? I always use those, but this whole "pick a locale" nonsense is a PITA. Having my clock show AM / PM (at least its UTC) and the horrible month / day / year format is a slight nag on Plasma 2.

You also can't change the digital clocks font anymore, which is also a tad annoying. Adding it to my bucket list to see if anyone is / will accept patches for / have the time to write patches for fixing it.

I can’t open anymore RAW or TIFF files with Gwenview since update. Is anyone here having this issue too, or is there something I need to configure for this?

high1 · 2015-01-30 10:10:34

I'm having issues with multi-monitor setup. I could've disabled the HDMI output normally in KDE 4.14, and next time I log in, only DVI monitor would be working (HDMI is primary in GPU BIOS). But, in Plasma 5.2, if I disable HDMI, screen size stays 3840x1080. Is there a workaround for this? I would prefer automatic xorg.conf, starting x with .xinitrc.

toketin · 2015-01-30 11:08:08

Hi, i noticed that Kmix in Plasma 5.2 doesn't restore the Pulseaudio level on reboot, it just sets it on 100% every time.

Edit: fixed installing kmix-git on Aur.
