Hello to the round.

I hadn't found a workaround yet, and had switched to the classic
Applications menu in the meantime.

Today's update to plasma-desktop 4:5.23.2.1-1 has fixed this bug, great!
Many thanks to all those who were involved.

Hi,

Nope.

Nope. Running SID - For ages ... ;-)

Yup. Thank's for your advices.

Application Dashboard Widget always opens on the same screen

2021-10-30 Thread Jon Hreg
Hi,

since the update to plasma-desktop amd64 4:5.23.0-3, the Applications
dashboard no longer opens on the respective screen, but always on one
and the same screen. (exactly the same misbehavior was observed after
the mentioned update on two different machines running Debian/SID/KDE)

* Debian SID,
* KDE, multi-monitor setup
* for each screen there is a separate panel
* each of these panels has its own applications dashboard widget

Previously, the Applications dashboard was opened on exactly the screen
to which the panel/widget belonged.

Setting the screen via Alt+F3 / Special Window Settings did not work -
probably the identification of the window was insufficient, because
the direct Alt+F3 / "Move to Screen" menu entry worked, but this change
is of course not persistent.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
It's more annoying than you think at first ...
Thanks a lot.

I did, of course.
Even 2 times ... more a remnant from more mechanical days ;-)

Thank you!
That's what I call fast - impressive!

You're right, I probably should have noted that as well.

Unfortunately, the problem does not seem to be fixed yet ...

After the update:

...
Setting up libkf5globalaccel5:amd64 (5.77.0-3) ...
Setting up libkf5kiogui5:amd64 (5.77.0-3) ...
Setting up libkf5globalaccelprivate5:amd64 (5.77.0-3) ...
Setting up libkf5globalaccel-bin (5.77.0-3) ...
... and further packages ...

the problem still exists:

By the way, in the meantime I had disabled Input Actions under Sytem

me noticing any restrictions so far.

Annoying delay at shutdown / reboot

2020-12-27 Thread Jon Hreg
Since the last updates of two SID boxes, the shutdown hangs on both with the 
message: "a stop job ..."

journalctl -b -1 shows:

A quick search on the web then returned this hit:

Hence my guess, this might be of interest here.
