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

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.

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.

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.

Smart location no longer smart
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.

Surely all the bright people maintaining Debian 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 that was difficult, if not impossible, to foresee. >can come up with something better? 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.

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.

I 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.
