AFAICT, there isn't one.  You can add/delete users in System Settings,
but the add/remove groups functionality no longer exists as part of a

To add/remove users to/from specific groups, it appears you have to rely

Hello Erwan,

Whenever I see a large number of plasma packages arrive in testing, I
check versions.

If they go from 5.14.something to 5.14.somethingelse, then I upgrade
without too many worries.

If the packages go from 5.14.something to 5.15.something, then I wait a
day or two, to make sure everything has come through - in the mean time
checking as best I can that there aren't any known issues (here, Debian
packages, DDG search, etc).

If packages were to go from 5.14.5 to 6.something, I'd again hold on a
day or two to make sure everything's in sync.

However, IME, there are fewer issues with migration to testing - the
problems have usually been found in sid.  If there *are* issues, there's
quite often an announcement on this very list.  Usually from Martin
Steigerwald or Patrick Franz.

Of course, things can still break, but it _is_ rare.  Also, we the lucky
users, get to keep all the pieces.   :-)

Typo?  0-2 is the latest I see in Debian.

Given the version # and problems you cite, you seem to be using testing.
Kwin (for one) is on hold, waiting for Mesa.  Currently, upgrading may
(will?) result in breakage of Plasma.  It's probably best to wait for
the full KDE/Plasma suite to migrate to testing.

Alternatively, you /could/ downgrade to v5.21.*  Be advised though, that
downgrading isn't officially supported in Debian so if you attempt to
downgrade and things break even more, you get to keep all the parts.

There were several entries for the browser in .local/share/applications/

What I did was remove them all, and then I added my browser to the

Thanks for that, Luca.  I'd not seen that before - like I said, search fu

Default browser settings muddle

2021-04-25 Thread Brad Rogers
Hello,

I've recently been trying a few different browsers, altering default
browser settings via KDE/Plasma settings software.

I've finally settled on a browser, but some apps, when they call the
browser, open a page such as;
file:///home/brad/.cache/kioexec/krun/49841_0/somepageorother
rather than
http://url.of.website/somepageorother
The number in the 'file:///...' call will be different each time.

I've ensured that both gnome-browser and x-www-browser point to the
correct browser, but cannot for the life of me figure out why some calls
are being mishandled.
Note:  I'm not pointing fingers at KDE/Plasma, it's almost certainly
something *I've* screwed up.

My online searches have proved fruitless (clearly my search fu isn't up
to snuff) and am hopeful that someone far more knowledgeable than I can
shed some light.

Using Debian testing, with KDE plasma 5.20  Any help greatly appreciated.

No Log In Notification

2020-11-20 Thread Brad Rogers
Hello,

Using Debian Testing;

Since updates to Plasma a week or so ago, I've not had any log in
notification (play sound).  The relevant file exists, plays audio
elsewhere, just doesn't get played during log in.  Toggling off and on
the notification setting didn't help.

Log out notification works and, as far as I can tell, so does every
other notification I have set.

Turning notifications on in a new user results in the same non-playing
behaviour.

Today's minor updates to plasma ( kf5lib notification & manager) in
Testing didn't changes things.

It's not a big deal, I can live with it (I rarely log in/out or reboot),
but is anyone else seeing similar behaviour?

Not updated yet, because various parts (IDK exactly how many) of 5.19
didn't migrate today.  Will keep an eye open for issues when I do.

As Martin Steigerwald often reminds us, I'm waiting to ensure a full(er)
transition of parts.

For example, libkdecorations has issues that Norbert Preining tells us
are addressed in the -4 update, which hasn't transitioned to testing from
sid today.  Since 'appearance' is allied (at least verbally) to
'decoration' there might be some correlation there.  However, that is
purely supposition on my part, as I can't see a direct dependency link
between the relevant parts.

I'm always a little apprehensive when large transitions occur.  Having
just set about an upgrade (testing it out, not actually performing it),
I see that to satisfy issues, removing kde-style-oxygen-qt5 is
suggested, but as that's my preferred style, I'd rather keep it if
possible.  This too, /might/ be related to kdecorations transition.

Can't offer any direct help (v5.17 here, mostly) but given several of us
have been experiencing issues with parts of KDE over the past week or
so, breakage is, currently, to be expected, I think.

There's been a lot of activity transitioning KDE recently. Things are
migrating, and not always in a fully synchronised way.  Breakage can be
expected for a while, I think.

On top of that, breakage is pretty much par for the course in sid and/or 
experimental.

I'm seeing some undesirable side effects now;

Close gadget now toggles maximised window.

Maximize gadget minimizes window to taskbar.

Minimize gadget does nothing.

How critical is position of 

AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions=false

Not a big deal, as I can workaround the issues, but it'll take a day or

Smart location no longer smart

2020-11-10 Thread Brad Rogers
Hello,

Using Debian testing, regularly updated (almost daily).

I have KDE set to locate windows using the "Smart" option.  For the last
week or so, I've noticed that Dolphin (maybe others, but I've not
noticed the same behaviour with other software) is now always located in
the same place.  IOW, when I open a second instance, it gets placed
exactly over the top of the existing window.  That is, 'smart' location
seems to not work.

I've looked in KDE & Dolphin settings, thinking I may well have set
something incorrectly, but without luck.  There seems to be no existing
bug reports, further leading me to think the problem is local.  I tried
setting up a new user, and found that exhibited the same behaviour.

Deleting dolphinrc didn't help.  There are no special window or
application rules for dolphin, so I'm at a loss.

Anybody have any suggestions.  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

You don't need kipi-plugins any more, also, kipi-plugins-common can go,
too.  In fact, upgrading (here, at least) required its removal.  A log
out and back in and all the export options still exist.

You may have to remove another package (I had to remove libgdal20) prior
to upgrading digikam.  It probably depends on a) what you've had
installed before and b) what you use to perform upgrades, as they can
treat things differently regarding removals, etc.

I'm not one of the developers, so don't can't tell you what's occurring
or how long it'll take to get digikam moving again, but

All the work that's visible on the Debian package web site pertains to
v5.9, which, IMO, is a waste of effort.

I realise that the dev team is finite in size, and almost certainly have
plenty to do, but it would be nice to see a more rapid rate of progress.
In short, scrap working on 5.9 and go straight to v6*

Today, a few packages were upgraded to 18.08 from 17.2 in testing.  It
broke several things, including korganiser & kaddressbook.  A quick look
at packages.debian informs me that the 17.2 to 18.08 transition is far

AFAICT (but don't quote me - I'm no expert in this area), it was to do
with the libegl1 & libegl1-glvnd-nvidia packages.  Dependencies are on
"one or other".  The trouble seems to come about when one is removed,

Clock by suitable settings adjustments.  The trouble is, even though
Plasma is at v5.8.2 and Frameworks is at v5.27.0, I see no option in
Calendar settings to enable PIM Events Plugin, only Holidays.

What am I missing?

Just downgrading isn't enough.  There's the whole "build against the

On the Debian Users list there was a complaint about this Krunner issue,

I was sent a solution (off-list).  Thanks to Chris Dow for this;

I recently had this same problem with generic icons.  This can be fixed
with a setting in the task manager.  Right click on the task manager and
go to 'Task Manager Settings'.  Then, uncheck 'Use launcher icons for

App Icons in Task Bar

2015-11-18 Thread Brad Rogers
Hello All,

I'm not sure how I 'lost' them, but several apps now show only a generic
cog icon in the Task Bar (KDE5).  Occasionally, I can see a glimmer of
the correct icon during the relevant program's start up process, but it
gets dropped/overwritten.  Affected software includes (but may not be
limited to) KPatience and Dragon Player.

My online searching has turned up nothing.  Obviously, my search foo
isn't up to snuff, so how can I get these icons reinstated?

Debian is run by humans.  Humans, being humans, make mistakes.  It's
been admitted that libqt5x11extras5 v5.5.1 getting into testing was not
ideal.  Also, reference to this being a corner case.  IOW, a situation

It works the way *they* want it, mistakes notwithstanding.  If you don't
like that method of migration, then maybe Debian testing isn't for you.
Breakage happens in testing.  By and large, not frequently, but it does
happen.  Also, it's not usually such a major issue.  To paraphrase a
well known English saying;  "Stuff happens".

Can't start Kuser

Hello All,

A strange one, this;

I'm trying to start Kuser from the KDE menu, but it refuses to accept the
root password.  I know the password to be correct (it's accepted by
everything else).  I can start it from the konsole with 'sudo kuser', and
it works as expected.  So, I've got a workaround, but it would be nice
to get things going properly.

Error report is;

Permission denied.
Possibly incorrect password, please try again.
On some systems, you need to be in a special group (often: wheel) to use
this program



Weirdly, on another machine, Kuser works fine.  So it would appear
there's something odd about the particular setup on this machine.

Searching the internet has proved fruitless.  Maybe my search-foo isn't
up to the task.  Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't have any of those packages installed any more (the first two
are meta-packages, anyway).  I did, however, have to install
Plasma-Desktop on one machine after the upgrade because it didn't get
installed during the upgrade.  I also had to delete ~/.config/kwin* and
~/.config/plasma* otherwise Plasma came up to a black screen.  Klipper
has been replaced with Clipboard so is no longer necessary.  Keep in

If you/she _need_ Digikam, you might want to hold off because, as I said,
IDK whether that will be installable after the upgrade.

>don't want to break her kde install.

I won't guarantee there will be no issues, but the upgrade should be
fairly smooth.  However, as you're talking about a Sid machine, breakage
is always a possibility.  Heeding Eike's advice could also save you a
world of hurt.

Perhaps a Sid install on the wife's machine wasn't the wisest of choices.

Sid, I'm guessing.  Doesn't work in testing here.

It's still good news because it means that it won't be long before
arriving in testing.  Also, one or two other items might start showing
up in it again.

Yay!   :-)

Tried what?  We're not mind readers.

When replying to a post, it's a good idea to quote some (just enough to
know what you're replying/referring to) of that message for context.
Secondly, don't break thread as that makes it even harder to figure out
what you're on about.

IDK what MUA you're using, but you may need a better one.

Not me!   :-)

Like you, I'm a Debian user.  I don't represent Debian or KDE in any
way.  All opinions are my own etc, etc.

It just so happened that I could answer some of your queries.
