Capslock / Numlock indicator not work in KDE (& sddm)
Hi, I'm using Debian testing and run KDE Plasma 5 (Framework 5.62.0, Qt 5.12.5, xcb window system, Application 19.08.1, kde-plasma-desktop version 5:104). Originally the indicator worked: in sddm login screen it would show warning when Capslock is ON; after logging into Plasma session a small icon would show beside the system tray when Capslock is ON. However from some day it didn't work anymore. The current status of my system is: * In sddm login screen, the Capslock ON warning *always* shows. * In Plasma the keyboard indicator plasmoids (org.kde.plasma.keyboardindicator) shows nothing no matter what the capslock/numlock status is. * Using xset -q I can get *correct* Capslock/Numlock status. Using xev I can see events of Capslock key being pressed and released. It looks like no problem in X window level, but the status does not pass to sddm/plasma correctly. Any idea or suggestion for finding or fixing the problem? Regards, Franklin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: start menu icon
Hi, Thanks for René and Duncan's reply. Honestly it's not because *I change the menu so frequently*. It's something what I've presented in the Akademy 2017 about Plasma 5 customization, without changing any existing file. We used our own start menu icon and I set it in the desktop scripts which uses kicker launcher. But when I change the launcher the settings was gone (and back to the KDE default). I know that kicker, kickoff and kickerdash are different plasmoids and the icons are set in their .desktop files. I ask here to see if there's any other way to achieve the goal so that I can study how to customize it in our system. Anyway, IMHO saving plasmoids (not only launchers) settings in a separate file as an override to default setting values should make sense, just like look-n-feel packages. Thanks for the developers for your work, and I wish it can be considered to implement. Franklin René J.V.

start menu icon
Hi, In Plasma 5 we can right-click on the start menu and set our own icon. However when I switch my menu from kicker to kickoff or kickerdash, the menu icon changed to the default one and when I switch back to the kicker, my own icon was gone and the default one is used. Would anyone please tell me how to keep my own icon in the kicker mode, or even when switching to different menu mode? Thanks, Franklin

For other languages like Chinese it seems to have an order too. To find out the solution, I tried to edit the plasma init scripts to create an SaL activity and assigned the categories I wanted to show in EnabledEntries options, with the order I want. However, when creating a user and a whole new kde plasma-desktop-appletsrc file, the EnabledEntries was written into it but the categories shown in the desktop were still the very default ones - bookmarks, contacts, and some other categories. I just can't understand why. BTW, in the EnabledEntries option, some categories used desktop file l
[kde] Is it to change the categories order in the Search and Launch activity?
Hi list, I have a question about the Search and Launch activity. In the activity we can choose to enable if a categories should show on the desktop or not. But do we have any way to change the order on the desktop? For example, I'd like to make the first category, in the upper-left corner, be Office instead of Internet. I can't find a way to change the order, either on google or on KDE user or techbase wiki. Anyone please give me some hints? Thanks. I'm using KDE 4.9.0 (on kubuntu 12.04 but I believe that Linux distros do not affect this behavior). Thanks, Franklin ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

Re: [kde] How to add some widgets/activities to user default environment?
Oh, I'm using kubuntu 12.04 . When I used kubuntu 11.04 it was okay to just change /usr/share/kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc.

[kde] How to add some widgets/activities to user default environment?
Hi list, I'd like to setup a default kde environment for all newly added users. That is, I wish to let users have the same desktop widgets like folderview or fuzzy clock on their desktop activity. I tried to customize a desktop and put my .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc into /usr/share/kde4/share/config,and even /etc/skel/.kde/share/config. When I added a user the plasma-desktop-appletsrc was copied to the correct path however when the user logged in, it seemed to get rid of my setting and created a new activity with its default setting. Could anyone please tell me how to control the behavior for a new user login? i.e. how to avoid it creating a new default setting and use my setting instead?

[kde] Can "Picture Frame" plasmoid set to remote URL?
Hi all, I just tried to set my Picture Frame plasmoid to Slideshow, and set an sftp:// remote url to the path. However, it told me that the folder was empty. I'm sure that there are pictures inside the url. I can also see it using dolphin or even gwenview. Just Picture Frame failed to get pictures with remote URL. Since it can play Picture of the Day, which should get picture remotely, I think that using sftp:// should work. Could anyone please tell me how to set remote folder in Picture Frame?

I just think that it will be cool if we can use Akonadi resources to maintain our google resource directly. For GCALDaemon, it could retrieve each calendar with different URLs.

Re: [kde] My KMail keeps searching something
Sorry, I forgot to mention my KMail's information. I'm using KDE 4.6.5, KMail 1.13.7, from Mageia packages. And I have logged my kmail debug log in a text file. I can send it to you if you want to look at it. Thanks. Franklin 2011/9/24 Franklin Weng : > Hi list, > > Recently my KMail is very busy.

[kde] My KMail keeps searching something
Hi list, Recently my KMail is very busy. It often becomes very busy and keeps accessing my hard drive, and hence slows down my system. I turn on the kmail debug message in kdebugdialog and launch KMail in Konsole, and I found that during the busy period my KMail is searching something in my folder: kmail(11857) KMSearch::slotSearchFolderResult: "TEA" found 0 .. A lot messages like above and the folder name is repeating. But I don't even know what it is looking for and why it acts like that. Does anyone have any idea about what happens?

[kde] How to make users use simplelauncher by default?
Hi, We're making a customized Linux distributions. I'd like to make users to use simple launcher instead of kickoff by default, and show the system menu. So I customized some and copied my plasma-desktop-appletsrc to /usr/share/kde4/config. It works. A new user without .kde or .kde4 folder created will use the default settings. Only one big question. This file set the panel geometry to 1024x768 (since I customized it in a vm) and a real user environment is 1440x900, which makes his default panel shorter than his screen. I tried to remove the geometry settings in the containments[1] but in vain. Would anyone please give me some hints that, how could I make my users use simplelauncher by default, without copying .kde to /etc/skel since my .kde may not be suitable for everyone's actual environment? I'd like to let users create a default panel suitable for their own environment. Only to let them use simplelauncher and shows system menu instead of merged menu.
