Still no Flip-Switch and still no 3-D Desktop Cube

They're forever dead!

Every Friday, I yearn to report that Flip-Switch and
3-D Desktop Cube are still dead so that I can maintain
my melancholy despondency about the demise of KDE.

Farewell noble services.  You were loved dearly, but the
powers that be hate you because you brought your users
joy.

[kde] [Bug 444190] New: kcmshell5 kcm_users Does Nothing!

2021-10-21 Thread Dean Schaf
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444190

Bug ID: 444190
   Summary: kcmshell5 kcm_users Does Nothing!
   Product: kde
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: PCLinuxOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
  Reporter: deanyourfriendi...@yahoo.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I searched, but could not find a bug-category for
kcmshell5, let alone kcmshell5 kcm_users.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
01. Open a terminal
02. Type: kcmshell5 kcm_users
03. On your computer's keyboard, press-n-release: Enter
04. In the window that opens, left-click the button labelled: Add New User
05. In the box labelled Name, type a person's name
06. In the box labelled Username, type a sensible user-name
07. In the drop-down list labelled Account, choose Standard
08. In the box labelled Password, type a password
09. In the box labelled Confirm password, type the same password used in step 8
10. Left-click the button labelled: Create
11. Open another terminal and type: ls -lh /home
12. On your computer's keyboard, press-n-release: Enter

Observe that no new user has been created using the User Management
module of kcmshell5, at least not in the /home directory.

OBSERVED RESULT
No new users are created using the module kcmshell5 kcm_users

EXPECTED RESULT
New users should be created using the module kcmshell5 kcm_users

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.14.14/5.23.1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.1 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Aside from seeing that no user directory is created in /home for
users that are "created" in kcmshell5 kcm_users, one can also open
the Control Center (in my fave distro), click on "Manage users on
system", and see that no new user is created using the kcmshell5
kcm_users module.

I should very, very, very much genuinely appreciate it if you
kindly KDE/Plasma folks could pretty please with sugar on top
rip out the code for kcmshell5 kcm_users (the work of which
is already done [in the distro I use] quite nicely by userdrake)
and put the new code for a modern, highly polished, incredibly 
user-configurable and glitzy version of Desktop Cube and Flip
Switch back into KDE/Plasma.

None of the Bug IDs listed as Possible Duplicates (which appeared
below where I typed this bug report) [BugIDs: 337230, 342588, 382874,
384107, 411758, 432838] list the same problem as the one I'm 
reporting in above.
423221, 

Incalculably appreciatively,
Dean

[kwin] [Bug 438883] Re-implement Desktop Cobe effect with modern effects API

I am very disappointed that you have removed the coolest eye-candy
features from KDE Plasma, (Flip Switch and Desktop Cube).  They were
two of the gems that made me like KDE.  I used the glitz-n-glam
features since long ago, and now my KDE Plasma usage is utterly
boring, disjointed, and ugly.

Please bring back the 3-D Desktop Cube and Flip Switch (in all their
former glory).

Dismayed and gloomy,
Keltonix

I should like to know why you're intending to remove the "Desktop Cube" from
KDE Plasma?  That feature is one of the things that first drew me into KDE.  I
use the "Desktop Cube" to organize all the programs that I keep open and to
flip between them with keyboard shortcuts that I have become used to using.

I don't want you to remove the "Desktop Cube".  Of course, since tyrannical
dictatorship is the order of the day, and you've probably already made up your
dictatorial little minds to remove "Desktop Cube", you'll just have more glee
the more people you disappoint.

A text file generated by the crash reporting assistant

Listen.  I love KDE.  I love GNU/Linux.

I hate the crash reporter.

The KDE crash reporting assistant NEVER produces a useful backtrace when I
awake my computer from sleep.  EVERY time I awake my computer from sleep, KDE
crashes and automagically restarts.  The only reason I know that there has been
a crash is because of the lady-bug-looking icon in the systray.

You should either revamp the KDE crash reporting assistant, so that it works,
or eliminate it.

Text file with allegedly relevant info about the crash

Application: plasmashell (5.8.3)

Qt Version: 5.6.2
Frameworks Version: 5.27.0
Operating System: Linux 4.8.6-pclos1 x86_64
Distribution: "PCLinuxOS"

-- Information about the crash:


The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
A useful backtrace could not be generated

BUT HERE'S WHAT WAS HAPPENING WHEN THE CRASH OCCURRED:
I had put the computer on standby (sleep).  When I came back to use it
and woke it up, I was greeted with the notification that the plasmashell
had crashed.  And, I was given the chance to report the bug.

Tragically, the bug-report creation system is an epic failure, so I
put this silly blurb together just for Esses & Gees.
