You are right. With that kmail is working better.

Is qt6-6.7.0beta2-1 completely rolled out or are there already some packages in the queue?

hifi25nl · 2024-01-31 08:47:14

In Plasma 5 I have some custom context menu items.
Before the folder was /home/user/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ or /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/

I cannot find kservice6 or some other folder in plasma 6

I use /home/user/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/

Works for me™ It looks like the QML cache problem is fixed

Good, I created the directory /home/user/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/, added my context menus and now is fine!

df8oe · 2024-01-31 15:26:37

QML-cache problem was for me already fixed with beta1, now preview of opened windows (in taskbar) is working. But I still cannot add applications to favorites start menu.

"Get New" button is System Settings is still not working. Not a huge problem, but still annoys me.

hifi25nl · 2024-02-01 07:42:37

New problem with rc2:
Clicking on the Desktop with the right mouse button, the option Add Widgets is not displayed.
How can now add a widget on Desktop?

Adding a widget on a tab is still possible, since the option is displayed correctly.

This is intentional as far as I can tell. You can add widgets to the desktop by entering Edit Mode and using the Add Widgets button there.

There are probably more things it fixes as a result but these bugs were only ones grinding my gears. If you want to use Plasma 6 beta with QT6.6 add code block below to pacman.conf before kde-unstable:
[kde-unstable-qt6-6]
Server = https://github.com/MacTavishAO/arch-kde-unstable-qt6.6/raw/main
SigLevel = PackageOptional
Use "pacman -Sl kde-unstable | awk '/installed/ {print $2}' | sudo pacman -Syu -" to reinstall all packages installed from kde-unstable. Since QT6.6 repo is before kde-unstable, it should download and install those packages from QT6.6 rebuild repo. Having done that, disable or comment out real kde-unstable from pacman.conf and use "pacman -Qq | grep ^qt6- | sudo pacman -Syu" so you downgrade qt6-* packages back to 6.6 found in extra repo.

Do you plan to provide plasma 6 RC2 in that repository too?
I've updated with the plasma unstable repository and qt 6.7 breaks other qt apps. Yuzu for instance, is not working for me.

Window thumbnails only works in X11. Still blank on wayland.
EDIT: this happens when animation speed is instant, it must be a different bug

Looks like the repo was just updated, think they’re updating now

Very cool of you, MacTavishAO, thank you!

Sorry for not replying back sooner. Yes, I was working on updating them. I had to do some manual intervention in the build process and found out after the build was complete that some PKGBUILDs were pushed to tags instead of the kde-unstable branch, so I had to pull the correct ones from git before starting a rebuild again.

20240210 Last Release Candidate

Desktop is close to perfection at this point here:

Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.93.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0
Kernel Version: 6.7.4-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

Enabling secure boot kills Arch. There is no problem there too (X11 has been removed long ago):

Operating System: Fedora Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 5.93.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1
Kernel Version: 6.8.0-0.rc3.20240209git1f719a2f3fa6.31.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

The final release is next door and kde remains a great piece of achievement,

I have some problems with Dolphin file manager. The places panel shrinks every time Dolphin is restarted, and after adding some buttons to the toolbar, a blank/unusable location bar appears below the tab bar.
Can anyone else confirm these issues?

omeringen · 2024-02-16 09:31:47

meta + 1/2/3/4 doesn't work for me.

//edit: note that creating a new user account solves the issue. Then i removed ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc and it also works on my account.

"Get new..." dialogs are still broken due to a Qt bug.

Running knewstuff-dialog6 works, and is a good enough substitute till they fix it.

Is it just me thinking its strange that this repo contains KDE and Qt Developer releases mixed?

I do understand the reason and it makes sense, but i wanted to test the most recent RC2 of KDE and so enabled the repo that, according to the wiki, "[...]contains the latest beta or Release Candidate of KDE Plasma and Applications. " but ended up breaking KDE unrelated Qt packages due to the Qt 6.7 Beta.

Obviously it has to be expected that things break with an unstable repo, but somehow this feels wrong... maybe it is just me. At least i can not test KDE so i'll backup to an VM with an other distro for this use case. Which is fine to me but would have enjoyed doing it on Arch

By the way does anyone else experience crashes doing drag-drop from the launcher to the Desktop (not folder view). Works on current stable plasma but crashes on RC2

Can reproduce the crash on my system.

Can do too. According to the backtrace, when evaluating a javascript command to determine if something is a file, the this variable of the qurl is zero.

With the release of plasma 6, will there still be a version of plasma 6 based on Qt6.7 in kde-unstable? Or should we all manually downgrade to Qt 6.6?

Plasma 6 from [testing] should work with Qt 6.7 just fine.

EDIT: except for kwin and layer-shell-qt, already rebuilt
