Plasma 6 beta 1 has been released! And so far the feedback has been very positive. A few final features snuck in before we started on the mega bugfixing marathon, which began this week! Please do c…

    Yes, that escape on spectacle is literally my workflow; I take a lot of screenshots and that change was the only thing I did not like about this newest Ubuntu update.

    Not sure if renaming “Extrakt here, autodetect subfolder” to “Extraxt here” is a smart move …

    Sure, you’d find out that it does detect subfolders now even though it doesn’t say it but if I had not read this I would probably have assumed the removee the subfolder detection

    Looks fantastic! Although, speaking of the Night Color settings - does anyone know how the location data for the auto night color mode is sourced? It always seems to place me on a different continent…

      I don’t know how its sourced for sure, but are you using a vpn? It could be figuring out what servers you’re connected to and their geographical location so if using a VPN and connecting to a different continent, it could be pulling timezone from that continent.

        No VPN, it’s strange because I haven’t had a problem with any other services that use IP geolocation (which I assume is what KDE uses) - even Gnome’s auto location tool seems to work fine.

          Randomly thought of this today: how did you install kde? Did it come packages with your distro or did you install it manually? I was wondering if maybe there’s a config file that’s supposed to be set with your timezone or something that isn’t set (specifically for the night mode feature) and its defaulting to a hardcoded default in the code or another config or something?

            Generally it’s just through my distro, it’s always occurred since I’ve used KDE unfortunately (since that was one of my first thoughts). This has been across Fedora (and derivatives), Nix, Arch, and Kubuntu.

      Geoclue I think, that damn process it always running in the background. Okay wow I should maybe try to just disable it.

      Afaik it works over IP using Mozilla Location Services or something

    I am trying to install kde neon in a VM to try plasma 6 and actually test and report bugs, too, and the installer launches into a completely transparent window and I can’t proceed from there. Tried to install opensuse krypton, it was taking so long to install I actually gave up and quit the install.

      In my experience too KDE Neon unstable is a total mess.

      Maybe try the new Fedora Rawhide with KDE? There even is an immutable image now. I will try that on Baremetal in a few minutes, as in the VM scaling and all was a mess, but VMs also just dont cover regular use scenarios (dual monitors, energy saving, fingerprint sensor (I want to keep mine for the host lol), memory, actually working GPU (thanks AMD mobile bullshit CPUs)

        I honestly do have an extra laptop to test on. So I might just slap fedora kde on it or something.

          I just rebased from latest Kinoite to Plasma 6 and so far neat, polished, no bugs? Damn KDE Nightly was a total mess?

          rpm-ostree rebase --reboot fedora:fedora/rawhide/x86_64/kinoite

          Great so far! Not beta anymore at all.
