As shown below, it appears that all Firefox tabs are just named "Firefox" within the volume mixer. This doesn't exactly make differentiating them very easy. Is it possible to make the volume mixer show the names of the tabs instead? If not, is there any feature in the works for this that anyone may be aware of?

Hello! on my EndeavourOS laptop I have firewalld running, and it blocks any kde-connect attempt to connect to my android phone. So I run

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=kdeconnect
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

as suggested here, and it now works the majority of the time. The only problem it still have it that it cannot connect when the phone is connected to the pc hotspot (created from the network applet > hotspot). Unless I disable firewalld, it refuses to see my phone. How can I fix this? I'm not expert with firewalls, sorry if this is a dumb question :P

thanks in advance!

[Apologies if this isn't where this should be posted. New to Lemmy and figuring this whole thing out].

After watching my brother experiment with KDE for the first time, I was inspired to try a bit on my own layout. Mix of Win 11 / 7, GNOME, Android and ChromeOS. A little of everything as I think it's just pretty and works for me.

Absolutely love KDE! <3

This happened after an update went wrong and when I restart my computer suddenly some files have an icon and others do not. It does not only happen with Dolphin icons, but also with other elements of the system.

Going to Settings and resetting the theme usually fixes this, but at random intervals it happens again.

I can't really find any information on where one would submit a feature request for KDE products -- it seems wrong, to me, to submit them to the bugtracker.

I found this Reddit thread that seems to say that there isn't one, but that post is, as of writing this, 6 years old, so I'm wondering if anything has changed since then?

I can't seem to find any setting to enable automatic updates in Discover. Currently, I get a ping for available updates, nearly every day, and I then have to manually click "Update". I would much prefer for Flatpaks to automatically update themselves in the same way that Gnome Software does it.

I understand the negative sentiment that many have towards automatic updates, but, for Flatpaks, it's a risk that I am completely willing to take.


Update #1:

There appears to be a setting for toggling automatic updates in System Settings>Software Update>Update software>Automatically; however, it appears to be a known bug that this is currently broken with flatpak.

The therapeutic post of the day: We're trimming the fat from #Plasma6! getting rid of abandoned, bit-rotting and redundant non-features will make for a leaner, cleaner and faster desktop experience:

In this video I see that the top panel somehow stays visible when they enable the overview effect, but I found no setting to do that, is it because I'm not using Latte dock, but using the built-in panel instead?

KDE KScreen2 Bug (qlemmy.com)
submitted 1 year ago by stark@qlemmy.com to c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

New Arch Linux user running KDE.

My monitors will not turn off due to this KScreen bug. When the monitors attempt to turn off, they immediately turn back on and, because the monitors don’t turn off, the computer never sleeps. Across the net, this bug has been mentioned a few times. Disabling the KScreen2 service does fix the issue but my second monitor’s config is reset every time the computer is rebooted.

Does any one have a work around for this issue?

This week in KDE brings new #Plasma6 features, like changes to the sound theme and when sounds are played, you can now change your active power profile, and log in easier to captive portal pages (like those found at hotels and airports).

Hello! I noticed that konsole has problems rendering nerd fonts, while other terminals (I tried xfce4-terminal as referemce) works flawlessly.

as you can see, in konsole the triangle symbol has a tiny vertical line before. the font used is NotoMono Nerd Font 12, but other fonts and sizes have the same effect. Any idea on how to solve this? I found no bug of this kind on the web, only problems of not rendering at all these symbols. Should I open a bug report?

EDIT:
I switched from Fedora to EndeavourOS today (not for this reason) and here it works perfectly with any font. I guess I messed something in the fedora configuration. thanks to everyone for the help!

Hey all! Just switched from gnome to KDE and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of widgets and customization available. Which widgets are your favorite that I should add to my system?

Does anybody know how I can activate Maliit (Plasma's default on-screen keyboard) under SteamOS Desktop Mode? I have the impression that all my typos are because Steam's provided keyboard (STEAM+X) is not registering key presses correctly and I want to try an alternative.

/usr/lib/maliit exists but all the usual guides I found don't work...

For well over a decade, maybe 15yrs I've been using Ubuntu and now Pop-OS I am really interested in starting to getting involved in KDE development somehow as retired software engineer. Also keen to switch to Arch....

What do you use for distro with your KDE work ?
