Hi all, My name is Bernie, I work for an Australian Winemaking company and we have been KDE Users for many years now (https://dot.kde.org/2014/02/18/kde-software-down-under)
I apologise if this is the wrong platform to pose the question, but I wasn't sure where else would suit - In short, due to COVID-19 we have rapidly had to transition our workforce to remote functions, and we're doing this by running a (actually, multiple) terminal server setup with xrdp. In the course of this migration, we have uncovered a number of bugs in multi-user KDE that are having a fairly significant impact on the functionality of this setup. We'd like to contract one or more people to spend some time patching these issues (and potentially a few other issues which are impacting less heavily for now) - if you are able to, willing to, or especially are in need of some contract work due to loss of income from COVID-19, please get in touch. The major bugs, in order of priority: 1. Bug 418906 - UDI (Unique Device Identifier) provided by solid is not actually unique, entry gets overwritten - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418906 This one is our current hardest hitter - every subsequent user that logs in overwrites the previous user's specific network mount point references in solid, and all the device shortcuts in the left pane of dolphin break for all other users. It is possible to workaround by navigating to specific folders, but this is causing a significant amount of extra support on an already lean and hard worked department and resolving this would be huge. 2. Bug 347772 - kscreenlocker_greet using 100% cpu on plasma 5 - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347772 This is longstanding, but it hits us on a per user basis. Once a few users have logged in, timed out and the screensaver started up, 10-15% cpu * user adds up very quickly and the machine gradually maxes out each core. I've had to workaround this by disabling the screensaver altogether on the terminal server. Thanks for your time - once again, apologies if this was an inappropriate place to post, please direct me to a more suitable platform if so. Regards, Bernard Gray
