Bug ID: 436951 Summary: in bug template, "About System" is renamed and may not provide KDE Plasma Version. Product: bugs.kde.org Version: unspecified Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: templates Assignee: sysad...@kde.org Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com CC: she...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY The guide for getting versions in the template for filing KDE bugs doesn't match Plasma desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter a new bug, choose a product such as bugs.kde.org OBSERVED RESULT The bugzilla template includes > SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS > Windows: > macOS: > Linux/KDE Plasma: > (available in About System) > KDE Plasma Version: > KDE Frameworks Version: > Qt Version: but a) it's not called "About System", it's called "System Information." Entering "About system" in the Plasma application launcher works, but it's a little confusing. b) In Fedora 34, System Information does not display the KDE Plasma Version. Instead I run `plasmashell --version` in a terminal window. EXPECTED RESULT Better verbiage. Change to say something like "(available in System Information)", I'm not sure how to get Plasma version. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/blob/master/Modules/about-distro/src/PlasmaEntry.cpp suggests that it's trying to get the Plasma version from xessions/plasma.desktop, but comments > // Since Plasma version detection isn't based on a library query it can fail (I have /usr/share/wayland-sessions/plasma.desktop and /usr/share/xsessions/plasmax11.desktop ; I'll file a separate bug.) Does this part of the bug template make sense for Windows and macOS users? Even without System Settings, they can still provide KDE versions; most KDE apps provide it in Help > About {KDE Appname} > Libraries. Or are the three lines intended to get the user to indicate which O.S. she is using, in which case collapse them to one question: > SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS > Which O.S. (Windows/macOS/Linux) and version are you running? : > The following are shown in System Information or a KDE application's Help > > About {Appname} > Libraries. > KDE Plasma Version: > KDE Frameworks Version: > Qt Version: Would it help to ask Linux users for Graphics Platform (wayland or X11) that my System Information shows? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
