Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

@boredsquirrel Seems they just do a year support? Will check it out but I don't think I'll be hopping anywhere else anytime.

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@Sunny I would still be using it haha the days of distro hopping are over for me. It is tiring. Moving data and configuring things again is tiring.

Most of my day is just staying in vscode, deliver my solutions and just call it a day then play Guild Wars 2 to unwind.

tl;dr I'm in for the long journey unless something bad happens.

@baggins I installed this on a laptop and put it to sleep all the time. Granted I've had wake up issues in arch linux sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't .

I'm quite happy at least I can just put this(laptop) to sleep.

@Sina That's a fair observation. It is highly probable that the team has no experience with doing a distribution. Sometimes I just ponder if it's just the lack of people in the team doing QA or just not enough experience to fix issues.

Installed KDE Neon today but the whole tray area popup is not working?

Updated everything using pkcon update. After installing everything works fine it just that there's nothing when you try to open things like wife selector or power management features.

Plasmashell inverts(flips?) screen after running a game? (X11/Plasma 6)

Hi, I'm using nvidia drivers. FOr whatever reason at times Plasmashell would get "cute" and flip the screen to the point I just run plasmashell --replace and everything goes back to normal...

Is there something... I could do ?

@kde

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@cyborganism Yes, rotating upside down. It doesnt happen all the time but I'm also like puzzled what's causing it...

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@cyborganism No........? I play with a controller.... mostly. Both have exhibited the same behavior with controller or keyboard/mouse. Plasmashell gets weird starts flickering like crazy or flips the image in reverse. (as in bottom is now top)

It's been an ongoing thing. Whatever is happening resetting plasmashell always helps. Which begs the question if plasmashell is getting "somehow influenced" by something.

  • Arch Linux, everything vanilla.
  • RTX 3090

I'm not really into customizing the living hell of my devices. I enjoy stability and would rather just settle with plain of defaults.

Has happened with Plasma 5. I always thought it was kwin (compositor) but.... who knows.

How do I properly resize my LVM partitions when it is inside LUKS?

Do I have to boot in a USB to do it or can it be done while the crypt is open/being used? I need to resize my root partition.

@linux

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@atzanteol LVM is inside LUKS. For some reason, resizing stops even though I unmounted the partition it is still being marked as "active". I disabled my SDDM and everything, rebooted, and still couldn't do it.

my reaction was "well... maybe there's something else holding this, LUKS maybe?"

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@atzanteol I didn't do anything fancy to be honest the resources pointed at me are not that different from what I did (example)

lvresize -r -L -80G /dev/mapper/laptop--lvm-home

But I think I got my cue from Arch Linux guide and will boot into a USB and do my resize commands.

Basically end result is just resize home to give root more space. All partitions in LUKS.

I think I got it from here knock on wood all that's left is just backup home, cross fingers and hope resizing goes through.

talesofaprinny OP ,
@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@atzanteol All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.

The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.

Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?

I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?

The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.

PSA to those who use sunshine with KDE

Disable the systemd unit file I feel it just adds more troubleshooting. Use KDE's autostart for Sunshine.

If your sunshine is still broken, update the monitor to 0 in the web ui. Remember that monitor count will be different to some extent.

Use KMS until NVIDIA adds support to wayland for its NvFBC. It will take an eternity sadly. Enjoy!

And no, Steam client sucks in Wayland with all the flickering. That's the bad news

Kudos to the KDE Team for the smooth transition to Plasma 6

Granted I don't really modify my system heavily so maybe that's why.

How... do I log into lemmy, say KDE Social lemmy using my Mastodon account? @kde I'm not sure how this works 👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼

@talesofaprinny@mastodon.social avatar

@bjoern_tantau I feel it's a bit messy since if there's a long text of body we don't really see that on mastodon instances?... Oh well, I just saw my own topic created on it and felt awkward but I guess that's that.
