I understand the question as why is debian targeting 5.20 for the next
stable instead of 5.18 LTS. The answer is simple: LTS means 1.5 year of
support, maybe more [1]. That's not long enough for the debian release
cycle: 5.18 was at the beginning of this year. That means support will
end at about the time or shortly after the next debian stable will be
released.

Re: Bottom bar not hiding after switching window

2020-06-10 Thread Simon Frei
Dear Thom,

It doesn't matter how I switch, it's the same behaviour whether I
"alt-tab" or click with the mouse onto another window: Switch window,
bar is shown (regardless of where my mouse is, also far away from the
bar), then move my mouse to the bar and away from it (no clicking) and
it stays hidden until I switch windows again (or move the mouse to the
bottom).
And there's nothing asking for attention as far as I can dicern - the
"program indicators" are usual orange if that's the case and none are now.

Cheers,
Simon

Bottom bar not hiding after switching window

2020-06-10 Thread Simon Frei
I more or less recently switched over from XFCE to KDE and must say, I
am pretty impressed :) 
Thanks a lot for packaging this fine DE for debian!

I am on debian testing.
One quite annoying behaviour I observe is that the bottom bar (set to
auto-hide) is not auto-hiding when switching windows. It does auto-hide
when I move the mouse onto the bottom bar and away again. That's quite
annoying especially on a small laptop screen when the open window has an
input field at the bottom (like most messengers).
Can anyone reproduce? I assume not, at least I couldn't find any info on
anyone having the same problem online.
Is there a cache/config file relevant to this behaviour I could check or
move out of place to see if it's a misconfig?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Simon



Bug#919860: qtcreator: Probably missing clang dependency

2019-12-31 Thread Simon Frei
I just ran into the same issue (long time since I used qtcreator last)
and removing QtProject/ and QtProject.conf fixed the issue. However I
also don't want to loose my settings so I started fiddling around, and
it turns out for me the error goes away if I clear the list of recent
projects and manually select the project again. Thereafter I can just
select that project from recent projects without any problems. Does not
seem like the real source of the problem to me, but anyway it worked for
me and maybe it's useful to anyone else as well.

That's on purpose to the best of my understanding of the processes
(which comes from a bit of documentation skimming and looking at history):
I can't upload so I'd expect whoever actually does that to change the
changelog to the appropriate version, i.a. drop the trailing ~ which as
far as I understand is to make the unreleased version older than any
other by default. Of course if the team (anyone in the) is willing to go
through the sponsorship process I'd be happy to do that :)

I thought about that too, but wanted to get ahead with this change first
before throwing another iron into the fire.

pointing to a branch on my fork:

Bug#873369: libqt5core5a: System-wide /etc/xdg/QtProject/qtlogging.ini disables debug messages

2017-09-12 Thread Simon Frei
I just wasted a lot of time finding the cause for missing debug
statements on a debug build of digikam. The build uses cmake and the
following option to activate debug logging:

  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug

For bug reporting, we are reliant on users to be able to run a debug
version (appimage) and provide us a log. Asking the user to remove this
config file adds another obstacle to get a useful report.

What can we do at build time to get debug statements on the console no
matter what?

Bug#803450: Still present in 4:15.08.3-1

2015-12-21 Thread Simon Frei
This is still true in version 4:15.08.3-1 (detected during compilation 
of digikam).
