Fwd: KDE Plasma support Debian
f.y.i. below mail I wrote to DA manager on Jan 16. Doorgestuurd bericht Onderwerp: KDE Plasma support Debian Datum: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 23:16:02 +0100 Van:Luc Castermans Aan:da-mana...@debian.org Dear DAM With this writing I want to thank Norbert Preining for his efforts and results of making KDE Plasma and applications available in Debian. Several years ago releases of KDE Plasma, applications, etc in Debian were significantly delayed with respect to upstream releases. Norbert managed to decreases this delay by a magnitude, even such that KDE Plasma for Debian was made available before the release of KDE Neon! Next to this, the quality of his packages were at highest levels. In the occurance of bugs a mail to Norbert was sufficient and almost by return e-mail solved. Nobert served my and many others very well, his communication was clear and swift. Unfortunately Norbert communicated that he has been demoted and as a result felt that he should leave Debian and its community. Looking at the results achieved and his track record, seen from my perspective, I would appreciate very much, if Nobert´s work could be continued for Debian. With this I kindly ask you to do your utmost best to make this happen! Thank you very much, -- Luc Castermans mailto:luc.casterm...@gmail.com

The Debian KDE team is a (small) handful of people maintaining both the Qt stack and the ~500 frameworks/plasma/apps packages on their free time. Lately Norbert was doing most of the later. More contributors are really welcome ! If you've always wanted to become a Debian contributor and are interested in the KDE stack, now is a perfect time. Join us on IRC, the handful is a friendly bunch of people. Best, -- Aurélien

Regards > > Who is this clown again? I respect Norbert for the work he did on Plasma/KF/Application packages. I do not think it is fair to speak of him (or anyone else) as clown. From what I have perceived he contributed a lot to make timely releases of packages happen. I don't know what is going on here… what this demotion thing about, so I do not comment directly on it. I never had any issues with Norbert. Generally speaking more and more I have the impression that in Debian political arguments became more important than actually getting work done in the recent years. I bet that is part of the reason why I switched to Devuan for all my private systems. Ciao, -- Martin

Bug#1004104: [qt5-gtk-platformtheme] HiDPI support
Package: qt5-gtk-platformtheme Version: version 5.15.2+dfsg-14 I just installed this to see whether or not it would help enable an in- development Qt app adapt to the Gnome system theme. (Please consider packaging qgnomeplatform from [1]). I noticed that there seems to be an issue with HiDPI with this package, with various GUI text components being too large in that app with this package installed.

Disabling/enabling touch pad on keyboard
Hi, I use debian testing. Sometime, by walking on the keyboard my cat disables the touchpad of my Lenovo T590. I used to be able to get it back by disabling and reenabling it in the system settings (or with the systrau "touchpad" icon), but it does not do anything anymore . Do someone have a solution to reenabe it without logging out ? Thanks
Dolphin stopped displaying hidden folders in the Folders pane
I'm running Debian/Bookworm on an AMD64 machine. For a few weeks now, Dolphin hasn't been showing hidden folders in the Folders pane. I've set the view to show hidden files and have been seeing hidden folders in the Folders pane since Dolphin was first introduced. I have to assume that this change was done accidentally since I can't think of a reason why it would be made deliberately without (apparently) a way to allow the old behaviour. Does anyone know a way I can fix the issue so that I can see hidden folders in the Folders pane?
