KDE

Korganizer keeps showing my appointments in the wrong time zone.

In the settings > time&date, I have middle European time set, but when I want to create a new event (or later when editing one), it's always set to UTC time nd I have to remember always to adjust the time zone, which can lead to problematic situations if I forget.

I believe it's a bug, but maybe there's another setting I can tweak that I haven't discovered yet?

How can we ensure energy data from KEcoLab are stable?

@sthak9 has some ideas.

"Ensuring KEcoLab Stability: Introducing Dedicated CI-Test"

https://eco.kde.org/blog/2024-04-12-sok24-energy-measurement-lab/

#KEcoLab is a KDE tool for measuring software's #energy consumption, but it needs robust testing to ensure stable functionality after code changes. Sarthak presents his work in Season of #KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds with #Kate test scripts.

Selenium automation for measuring software's energy consumption?

@prady0t wants to guide you!

Read about his Season of KDE 2024 work on documentation for #Selenium AT-SPI, including video guides for the #KDE community.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the world size in Marble for the coordinate system. I have created a custom map of a world slightly bigger than earth in QGIS but if I put the image on marble and then import the rivers, locations and routes as json files everything is off due to the extents being bigger than earth in QGIS.

I figured since you can make it smaller for the moon it could be enlarged for a custom planet but I can't find information in the documentation.

So today I clicked 'enable HDR' on one of my monitors and something broke. The whole system froze up and the HDR monitor went black. If I reboot it freezes right after I login.

If I unplug that monitor or start in X11 instead of Wayland then everything is fine. Plugging the HDR monitor in while I'm logged into a Wayland session also freezes everything.

How can I disable the HDR setting? The monitor doesn't show in System Settings whilst its unplugged so I'm hoping theirs some way to fix it on the CLI. The only place I've found HDR referenced is .config/kwinoutputconfig.json. I set HDR to false but after reboot it's set to true again. I also tried deleting .config/kwinrc and .local/share/kscreen but no luck.

I'm fine with just resetting all Display settings if that's required.

----- UPDATE ------

Bug report filed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485403

Fixed by

• Ctrl + Alt + F3 to go into terminal
• Set HighDynamicRange and WideColorGamut to false in ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json
• Execute plasmashell --replace
• Reboot, Login, Reattach HDR Monitor

------ UPDATE ------

After updating and trying again today the steps above no longer worked. You still need to change ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json but plasmashell --replace no longer works for me.

Running killall kwin_wayland also just bumps me from my terminal back into the desktop. kwin can't be running when you change that file or it will be overridden.

I booted into a separate Linux Live USB and change the files that way.

Thank you everyone for your help 🎉

After Plasma 6, Alt+f invokes Find, instead of forward word, and it's driving me nuts. I can't seem to find any shortcut to stop this. Konsole shortcuts show Ctrl+Shift+F for Find.

Are there some know issues with Tokodon and NeoChan on Android?

When I open them on Lineage 20 they just immediately close. They don’t trow any errors and don’t really know how to debug them.

Klevernotes is now available as a flatpak (Nightly version) through KDE cdn.

To install it, simply run:

flatpak install --user --or-update https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/klevernotes-nightly/org.kde.klevernotes.flatpakref

This is based on the following tutorial.

Hi,

Maliit is selected in virtual keyboard settings, it shows up when using a KDE app like Dolphin or Konsole, but it doesn't show up when using a non-KDE app like VLC or Discord.

How to fix this ?

Thanks

On one of my machines, I am completely unable to log out. The behavior is slightly different depending on whether I am in Wayland or X11.

Wayland

1. Clicking log out and then OK in the log out window brings me back to the desktop.
2. Doing this again does the same thing
3. Clicking log out for a third time does nothing

X11

1. Clicking log out will lead me to a black screen with just my mouse cursor.

In my journalctl logs, I see:

I've filed an upstream bug for this but I was wondering if anyone else here was also experiencing the same issue.
