Shade not working on F34
by Christopher Ross 18 May '21

18 May '21

Today I updated F32->F34 I have KDE configured so double clicking on a window title bar shades the window instead of maximising it. This used to be the KDE default, years ago, until it was changed to follow MS's changes to Windows. Anyway, I now find that this works for some windows (e.g. thunderbird) but not others (e.g. dolphin). Right clicking on the title bar of KDE apps such as Dolphin I find that "More actions => shade" is greyed out. I've checked the settings, rebooted and all that good stuff. How do I get back this feature which has been a staple of the KDE desktop for probably 20 years? Many thanks, Chris R.

Guest resizing in qemu VM
by Ed Greshko 10 May '21

10 May '21

Is there any hope that KDE running in a qemu VM with sddm will once again support auto-resizing as it once did? I can run KDE using gdm and resizing works. The "issue" started with F33 and continues in F34. -- Remind me to ignore comments which aren't germane to the thread.

Offering plasma-pk-updates as an alternative to Discover
by Tomáš Trnka 09 May '21

09 May '21

Hello everyone, After updating to F34, I was unpleasantly surprised by the new Plasma update notifier (plasma-discover-notifier). Even though the previous plasma-pk-updates thing had its quirks and Apper also wasn't the most featureful of package managers, I still ran into a handful of issues with Discover that make it pretty much useless for me: – There seems to be no way to select which updates to install. All I can see is a list of available updates with a button to install all of them, but no way to pick and choose a subset. (Yes, I could use commandline DNF with a whole bunch of "-x" arguments to get the job done, but the point of a GUI is to make things more user friendly, isn't it?) – I can't seem to find the description of individual package updates (the short changelog that plasma-pk-updates shows when you click a particular package, together with Bugzilla or Bodhi links). Again, getting these any other way than through the GUI updater is a real hassle. – The tray notifier doesn't let me actually do anything directly, I have to wait for it to open a full Discover window and spend a long while loading the updates, which is much more disruptive than the few seconds needed to trigger updating through plasma-pk-updates. I can see how many people nowadays might prefer the "app store" feel of Discover to more traditional package managers, so I'm not saying Discover shouldn't be the default. However, can't we keep plasma-pk-updates as an alternative for those whose needs aren't covered by Discover? Right now, one can install f34 build of plasma-pk-updates from Koji and everything works fine, but plasma-discover-notifier comes with Obsoletes: plasma-pk-updates < 0.5, which I find a tad aggressive (forcing replacement of not only any current version of plasma-pk-updates, but also any versions to come). What about changing that to only obsolete whatever the highest version is in F33 (so that everyone still gets the new default on upgrades), but still letting people manually install plasma-pk-updates on F34? It's not like plasma-pk-updates has a lot of dependencies or receives many new features, so future maintenance burden should be minimal to negligible. Unless there's a better solution, I'll just build plasma-pk-updates on Copr with a bumped epoch (and Conflicts: plasma-discover-notifier). That should get the job done, but it would be nicer (and more discoverable) to keep it in the main repos. 2T

krunner needs plasma-milou to run
by Adrian Sevcenco 09 May '21

09 May '21

Hi! So, after having krunner broken for some time (the shortcut would only print a black square on the screen) i just tried to start it from konsole and i seen this: krunner "file:///usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.desktop/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml" "Error loading QML file.\n25: module \"org.kde.milou\" is not installed\n" i installed plasma-milou and krunner worked again.. so, is this a krunner bug? (as it should not depend on milou)? or a packaging bug? (as kf5-krunner should require plasma-milou) Thanks! Adrian

F34 - what happened to Switch User?
by Temlakos 08 May '21

08 May '21

Everyone: Last week I did my usual command-line upgrade, from F33 to F34. Most things still work, and some (like the KDE clipboard) work better. But of course the Applications menu changed radically. It took time for me to find the new places for things, and one thing I never found: Switch User. I now find it impossible to start a new session with another registered user. Now the only way to use a secondary user account is to log out, then log in as the secondary. And do the same in reverse when I'm done. The biggest reason I abandoned GNOME, years ago, was that GNOME did not provide, in its Graphical User Interface, a convenient way to switch users, and have two users logged on at once. KDE did. Until now. It used to be on a menu called "Leave." Along with options labeled "Log off", "Sleep," "Hibernate," "Restart," and "Shut Down." Today all those options, other than "Switch User," appear at the bottom of the applications menu screen. Which is mighty convenient for those other options, but not for Switch User, which is gone. What am I missing? If Switch User is still there, where did it go? Temlakos

VMWare Workstation not resizing guest display
by sbob 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi All; Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question... I've installed Fedora 34 KDE Spin on a Lenovo P73, then I Installed VMWare Workstation 16 Pro, I then installed a Fedora 33 guest, and it works fine except it refuses to resize / fit the guest display. I have both 'View -> Autosize -> Autofit Guest' and 'View -> Autosize ->Autofit Window' checked Thanks in advance
