I was able to install telepathy-gabble by adding the Debian Buster repos to my Debian Bookworm install and put in my credentials but it does not seem to allow me to change my status or start a new conversation. Is this even possible today?

Bring it back to life again!

I've recently updated to Plasma 6.1 and I've loved it so far. However, there's one thing that has made things difficult for me—I can't get to ‘Panel Configuration’ and make changes to my panels.

This screen recording shows me failing to get to the ‘Panel Configuration’ in my top panel (though the same problem exists for all of my panels).

For further context, I use Plasma 6.1 with Wayland on Arch Linux. Some other details from the Plasma Info Center are provided below:

If there's any more information I need to gather in order to resolve this problem or make a bug report, I'd love to know.

After an update I noticed discover was this weird yellow color, I opened settings and noticed it too was yellow, thinking it was some bug, I restarted PC, now everything is yellow. I tried inverting colors but that is something completely different. I'm not even sure what was updated to cause this.

I'm running mint 21.3 with plasma 5.27.11

So I've got plasma 5.27.5 on MX 23 (based on Debian 12) and am sometimes seeing a delay in the lock screen activation after waking from suspend. It's a good few seconds of whatever I had on my screen being being visible before the lock screen pops up. Anyone else get this issue?

What is this message on the lock screen? I get this at really random times and very rarely. Is this a bug? If so, I'll report it. If it's not a big, then what is it?

Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

@kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

Hi,

On KDE neon 6 using Wayland, OBS 30.1.2 is black when trying "Screen Capture (PipeWire)" or "Window Capture (PipeWire)", when launching from terminal, the following line stands out :

error: [pipewire] Error retrieving pipewire fd: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

When asking the OBS community, I'm told :

Sounds like a broken PipeWire and/or xdg-desktop-portal install. That would be a question for your distro's support channels

What to do ?

Thanks

SOLVED : the xdg-desktop-portal package crashes since v1.18.3 (see issue report), so downgrading it fixes this.

I love my kde plasma and G915 keyboard. What is the best logitech keyboard to select in settings? How compatible is the G915 with plasma? Can I get the Keyboard LEDS to sync with the accents yet? If so how?

#Kdenlive 24.05.1 is here! It fixes issues with the spacer tool, effects, compositions, subtitles, and project settings. We've tackled crashes and freezes, improved undo/redo for track insertions and enabled notarization for macOS.

Hi,

Most PDF viewer software on M$ Win can scroll sideways with the Shift key pressed. How do you make Okular scroll sideways with the mouse wheel? Most of my work requires reviewing construction drawings, which have many details on A0-size pages. Please!
