Plasma 5.26 coming to unstable - Thank you!

From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 11 17:30:02 2022

Hi!

Read here about it:

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.26.0/

As usually wait for it to be complete and be careful with dist-upgrade
during that time. Same was true for Qt transition that at least on my
systems appears to be completed.

Thank you to Aur�lien and Rik Mills. And to everyone else who helps with packaging Plasma, KDE Frameworks, the applications and Qt!

I am very happy about the current state of those in Debian.

Thank you.

Best,

It’s a pleasure to be able to run the latest Plasma on Debian with official packages. Sid is a great distro for advanced users, and these packages make us a little happier. Great work!

Regards.

Yes, thanks for the feedback.

I noticed this a bit too late but it's already fixed in the 5.26.0 packages.

Moved from kwin to a different package?
Included in kwin in a different manner?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions?

After a reboot my only complaint is...

No background wallpaper in SDDM (white background) - only visible is
the box where I can type my password.

So, changing from Wayland to X11 or GNOME seems "unpossible".
( Might be solvable via KDE/systemsettings? )

Looks nice KDE/Plasma 5.26.0...

I did have a background wallpaper in SDDM, but the password chars were REALLY tiny. I could still login though.

thanks for making 5.26 available. I selected SDDM theme "Breeze" according
to the tips in this thread.

the right of where I click. Thinking that has something to do with having 4 monitors with carrying resolutions.

Thanks all for the comments.

Indeed the bug is still present in the 5.26.0 packages.

Alternatively you can add the following line : background=/usr/share/desktop-base/active-theme/login/background.svg

at the end of this file :
/usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-breeze/theme.conf

until the package is fixed.

Should the following be added to that file for the tiny char issue?
fontSize=10

Diffing the theme.conf files also showed this item:
needsFullUserModel=false

But I have no idea what that is for (and thus whether it's needed).

I dont know but fixing the wallpaper path also fixes the font size for me so I'd prefer not touching anything else if not required.

Diffing the theme.conf files also showed this item:
needsFullUserModel=false

But I have no idea what that is for (and thus whether it's needed).

AFAICR it's related to remote logins and not loading all user information by default to avoid performance problems on the login screen.

In any case I've uploaded plasma-workspace 4:5.26.0-2 with the fix and I've synchronised the theme conf file with the upstream one as you suggest.

Happy hacking,

I did not expect that. I hadn't checked it myself (yet) though.

Debian-breeze is the default that our users will see and we need to get it
as much exposure as possible before it reaches testing.

I can confirm that the issue is fixed.

In the "Login Screen (SDDM)" System Settings screen, I do not have a preview though, while (just) "Breeze" does.

(I also have a "Debian Maui" and _another_ (?) "Debian Breeze" theme in that screen and both don't have a preview either)

HTH,

Thanks for your various feedback and bug reports that help make the KDE packages better.

Now that the login screen bug seems to be fixed for everyone, I'd like to strongly recommend everyone who switched to the breeze SDDM theme due to the bug to switch back to debian-breeze.

Debian-breeze is the default that our users will see and we need to get it as much exposure as possible before it reaches testing.

Thank you again for your help in testing Plasma and your patience.

Happy hacking,
