Bug ID: 512478
Summary: Task Manager volume scrolling introduces hard
dependency on PulseAudio
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager widgets
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/79d010f4
introduces a mouse wheel option to adjust the volume of the selected task.
This is a good idea, but it means that the task manager will not load at all
unless plasma-pa is available (required by "import
org.kde.plasma.private.volume as PlasmaPa" in MouseHandler.qml). plasma-pa in
turn cannot be built or used at runtime unless PulseAudio is available and in
use.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Build latest plasma-desktop on a system without PulseAudio.
2. Log in.
OBSERVED RESULT
The task manager is displayed only as an icon with the message
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/main.qml:369:9:
Type MouseHandler unavailable
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/MouseHandler.qml:11:1:
module "org.kde.plasma.private.volume" is not installed
EXPECTED RESULT
The task manager works as intended
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo 2.18
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.9.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Editing
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/MouseHandler.qml
and commenting out the code referring to "import
org.kde.plasma.private.volume", "PlasmaPa.GlobalConfig", and the entire "if
(Plasmoid.configuration.wheelEnabled === 3) {" block allows the task manager to
function normally.
