Classification: Applications Product: Discover Version: 5.27.11 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: discover Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: alpeter...@gmail.com CC: aleix...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- *** I am running nightly of kubuntu 24.04 Gcompris also crashed when it was attempting to download something. We have xfinity internet and this device was "parental controled" paused from 11:30am on accident when it is supposed to be paused at 11:30pm, but it's not that important, I traced it down to it being a captive portal thing.. THe websites are being returned with a page saying "this device is paused" and it is likely a breach of ssl https:// protocol to be sent back a page saying that the internet is paused. I also have the policy kit set to let an otherwise non privileged user use discover and do updates. I am using that user. SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3.

[kde] [Bug 466513] New: corrupted settings while uninstalled from under it, suggest backup or detection
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466513 Bug ID: 466513 Summary: corrupted settings while uninstalled from under it, suggest backup or detection Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: FreeBSD Ports OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: alpeter...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. run desktop-installer from a sudo inside konsole (ill advised) 2. I think there was a dependency failure about a transcode library, and that freaked the script out, and after attempting to install turbo jpeg for ports instead of pkg ( I realize now that I did not install it from ports, we probably need to add that to the platform options, or someone can move it to other) 3. it started to uninstall stuff, I thought it was just deleting downloaded files, but nope, konsole crashed, and all the other applications crashed too, just left with a plasma shell that could log out. 4. Reinstall KDE5 (pkg install kde5) 5 -- observe 6, move the .dbus .kde and .config folders to another location. 7. login with KDE X11 session, and it is back to a default install. OBSERVED RESULT After reinstalling, all the desktop icons were corrupted, and the list of applications in the launcher were corrupted. EXPECTED RESULT A. Errors instead of vanishing apps... but we can't control everything when root yanks stuff out from under us... B. An uncorrupted version of settings that just work when the applications are reinstalled. C. some sort of detection and re-running of the initial program that scans and catalogs applications and configures toolbars and panels. -- A dialog that says: Corrupt settings detected, restore to system default? and copies the corrupted settings to a spot that could be restored if uncorrupted. D. Human readable settings... I know from in the past, I tried to set up a lab to have KDE configured like a kiosk, and KDE likes to save binary blobs and stuff in the configuration files. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS latest from freeBSD13.1 as of Sunday 2/26/2023 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5 Qt Version: 5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is actually fairly important for keeping the system reliable. Detecting faults and being able to recover shouldn't be too hard, hopefully not used often, but people like to bork their systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I fiddled with entries on the list, and as with keyboards, cats, and trackpads, some unintentional changes occurred to the settings. They were applied STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. give password to sudo to look at software sources 2. look away for a split second 3. close the settings 4 see no confirmation 5. wrecked system. This is serious 3. OBSERVED RESULT no error message (I think I changed one thing intentionally but I didn't know if other things had been changed or not) EXPECTED RESULT Do you want to save the changes dialog? or an OK / Apply / Cancel button stack at the bottom.

It makes users not be able to use the product.. I've sat with users... I've had service calls because of this issue... I am willing to pay to have this be fixed.. It is the difference between using windows10 and KDE... I cannot use software that breaks so catastrophically when a client switches monitors. It really is horrible.. it's terrible... the buttons all get small and warped to another location... Are you, David, saying that this was designed intentionally to be broken? If you want to have things break at high stress times, please just light your computer on fire. This was _the reason_ why KDE cannot be deployed to hundreds of people.. There may be a few other reasons too, but I've managed to fix a few things like disabling the netbook interface that doesn't work for anything... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[plasmashell] [Bug 360491] Panel resets size, width, height when display resolution changes
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360491 Aaron Peterson <alpeter...@gmail.com> changed: What|Removed |Added CC||alpeter...@gmail.com --- Comment #4 from Aaron Peterson <alpeter...@gmail.com> --- I am amazed that maintaining basic functionality of the system is marked "won't fix" This results in an unusable system. To do a work arround for a client I had to basically copy and paste 1920 configurations into a config file to keep the settings roughly the same... and now with 4k displays that number doubles! Just make it so it's saved universally, and that people CAN enable per resolution settings if they really want to edit the configuration file themselves... but the default absolutely needs to be a pixel width.. and if you want to be really cleaver.. you might be able to do a screen percentage.. but I'll fund a patch for this.. or do it myself.. I just need to make sure it gets incorporated. But with a big glaring WONTFIX on a critical error that makes the system... WORSE than windows 10?!?!(that's hard to do) wow.. theatrics and pointing and screaming are in order here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I see bug 360491 is resolved won't fixed and I'll look into it a bit... but this is an absolutely bat** crazy bug that makes it not work for most people...

[systemsettings] [Bug 382008] New: preferred languages missing C and en
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382008 Bug ID: 382008 Summary: preferred languages missing C and en Product: systemsettings Version: 5.9.4 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_language Assignee: jl...@kde.org Reporter: alpeter...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- I am trying to figure out how to have Chinese language input... and I ended up changing the system language... but I did include American English as the most preferred language... but then apt is in Chinese.. .and some gnu image scanner is in Chinese... it is ambiguous what order the languages are selected in... does top win, or bottom win? Also, there is no obvious way to enable Chinese input within System Settings... and this regional panel is more confusing than helpful. It should probably say something about UI Language preferences. C and en should be included in the laguages.. those are the default if nothing is specified I believe? en_US and en_GB are ok... but I'll take any en before Chinese... Yes, I do want to switch quickly between zh and en... so I can learn zh.. but that's not likely to happen any time soon. It would be nice to consider it in updates. So, this bug is basically saying that the Regional Settings is confusing, and too easy to bork the system. Please update documenation/description of what it does, and include en and C so I don't get screwed when a program supports en but not en_US -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378895 --- Comment #12 from Aaron Peterson <alpeter...@gmail.com> --- also note... some widget settings are borked, (all of my system tray icons that i disabled are back, and ones that I use i always want visible, and they are hidden) and the view mode of the panel changed from windows can cover to, windows cannot cover... visability from 2 to 0 I was able to make a config file with common vertical sizes 480 640 800 768 764 960 1024 1344 1340 1050 1080 1920 (should be others) and replicate the panel1 entry in plasmashellrc and the panel at least had the size and the viewmode back. There should be wildcards for the size... You shouldn't even worry about the desired height unless someone specifies it, so the width of the panel should not worry about the height at all. I started reading the panel.qml and saw quite a few errors from plasmashell when I resized the display, and was generally using it... I understand that there is a 5.8.6 out, and I hope it will make it to kubuntu backports soon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If I use a vertical panel, I would want to limit the height of the kmenu... otherwise when I make it wide enough so I can read the items in the taskbar, the K takes half the screen. It would be easiest and best to just make this be in the generic widget that all other widgets inherit from.

[plasmashell] [Bug 378949] New: read only config files should be treated as immutable
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378949 Bug ID: 378949 Summary: read only config files should be treated as immutable Product: plasmashell Version: 5.8.5 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Panel Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: alpeter...@gmail.com Target Milestone: 1.0 This may be more general than just plasma... Plasma should not be editing it's own configuration files unless explicitly allowed to do so... so this means that plasma should check the permissions and ability to change the file( such as checking disk space if the file is writable) to make sure that it can actually write the file... and not allow users to change settings that are not allowed to be edited. This is a straightforward and clear thing... but someone went thru the trouble of making a dialog box popup saying that the configfile wasn't writable... so it might be an opportunity to refine the design. (I'm still rooting for KDE, windows10 has deleted enough of my work on it's own update schedule and disrespect, that I can understand that free software can have errors too) I made the plasmashellrc readonly in attempt to stop plasma from seemingly randomly changing my panel widths... it reset it on some vertical height changes... that's another severe bug...
