Plasma 6.2.0 experience
I just installed Plasma 6.2.0 from experimental to testing (it also needs pulling Qt 6.7.2 from unstable since it's still stuck there and didn't get to testing yet). So far experience is pretty good. I noticed just a few strange things: * libkf6dbusaddons-bin became not dependent on by any package an auto so I apt-marked it as manual since I'm not sure if anything needs it or not? If it's intended, I can mark it as auto back and let it get autoremoved. * System Settings > Colors & Themes > Night Color shows this error: Error loading QML file. qrc:/kcm/kcm_nightlight/main.qml:12 module "QtPositioning" is not installed I do have libqt6positioning6 (6.7.2) installed. May be some other dependency is missing? Other than that, I haven't noticed anything wrong while using it so far. Thanks for all your work! Shmerl.

KDE stable: Too many time from loging to load
Hello! I have a little problem with KDE in Debian stable. Until last night my computer was running Debian stable and worked just fine but I borked it playing with some packages from backports so today I fully reinstalled it. After a clean Debian stable instalation I noticed KDE takes a looong time to load since I enter the password until it is usable. Until yesterday it was about two seconds from password intro key to a fully loaded KDE session but today with a clean install it takes about 20 seconds to load. I revised logs but I can't find nothing obvious: it starts to load things, makes a pause of almost 10 seconds and then it logs this: systemd[1]: Stopping user@113.service - User Manager for UID 113... systemd[1754]: Activating special unit exit.target... systemd[1754]: Stopped target default.target - Main User Target. systemd[1754]: Closed drkonqi-coredump-launcher.socket - Socket to launch DrKonqi for a systemd-coredump crash. systemd[1754]: Stopping dbus.service - D-Bus User Message Bus... systemd[1754]: Stopping pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio... systemd[1754]: Stopped pipewire-pulse.service - PipeWire PulseAudio. systemd[1754]: Stopping wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager... wireplumber[1771]: stopped by signal: Terminado wireplumber[1771]: disconnected from pipewire systemd[1754]: Stopped dbus.service - D-Bus User Message Bus. systemd[1754]: Stopped wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager. systemd[1754]: Stopping pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service... systemd[1754]: Stopped pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service. systemd[1754]: Removed slice session.slice - User Core Session Slice. systemd[1754]: Stopped target basic.target - Basic System. systemd[1754]: Stopped target paths.target - Paths. systemd[1754]: Stopped target sockets.target - Sockets. systemd[1754]: Stopped target timers.target - Timers. systemd[1754]: Closed dbus.socket - D-Bus User Message Bus Socket. systemd[1754]: Closed dirmngr.socket - GnuPG network certificate management daemon. systemd[1754]: Closed gcr-ssh-agent.socket - GCR ssh-agent wrapper. systemd[1754]: Closed gnome-keyring-daemon.socket - GNOME Keyring daemon. systemd[1754]: Closed gpg-agent-browser.socket - GnuPG cryptographic agent and passphrase cache (access for web browsers). systemd[1754]: Closed gpg-agent-extra.socket - GnuPG cryptographic agent and passphrase cache (restricted). systemd[1754]: Closed gpg-agent-ssh.socket - GnuPG cryptographic agent (ssh-agent emulation). systemd[1754]: Closed gpg-agent.socket - GnuPG cryptographic agent and passphrase cache. systemd[1754]: Closed pipewire-pulse.socket - PipeWire PulseAudio. systemd[1754]: Closed pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Socket. systemd[1754]: Closed pk-debconf-helper.socket - debconf communication socket. systemd[1754]: Removed slice app.slice - User Application Slice. systemd[1754]: Reached target shutdown.target - Shutdown. systemd[1754]: Finished systemd-exit.service - Exit the Session. systemd[1754]: Reached target exit.target - Exit the Session. systemd[1]: user@113.service: Deactivated successfully. systemd[1]: Stopped user@113.service - User Manager for UID 113. systemd[1]: Stopping user-runtime-dir@113.service - User Runtime Directory /run/user/113... systemd[1]: run-user-113.mount: Deactivated successfully. systemd[1]: user-runtime-dir@113.service: Deactivated successfully. systemd[1]: Stopped user-runtime-dir@113.service - User Runtime Directory /run/user/113. systemd[1]: Removed slice user-113.slice - User Slice of UID 113. systemd[1]: user-113.slice: Consumed 1.549s CPU time. Then another 8- 10 second pause followed by some plasmashell messages and the KDE appears on screen. Any idea what can be the problem? Thank you in advance Miguel A. Vallejo
KMail2: Not defined sent-email folder after changing akonadi-backend
Hi, KMail2 version 6.2.x (24.08.x) uses as default SQLite akonadi-backend. With previous KMail I used PostgreSQL akonadi-backend. Now, I switched back from SQLite to PostgeSQL backend for akonadi. KMail2 now complains about a not-defined SENT folder when composing a NEW email. A Sent-Email exists here: ~/.local/share/local-mail/sent-mail/ I see there all single sent emails as single files in new (some old emails in cur) sub-directories. Hopefully, all my sent emails are NOT lost. Settings > Accounts > Receiving shows a local-folder and is change-able. In Settings > Accounts > Sending I only see the SMTP-server settings. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks. Best regards, -Sedat-

First I made sure I upgraded all sddm-theme packages to experimental in order to avoid any kind of version conflict, as I do have SDDM itself from experimental as well. But SDDM ignores theme setting, whether via update-alternatives or Systemsettings completely. And yeah, in there is is under Colors & Design (translated from German language) not Appearance. Which is even more confusion. I think the previous structure was better. I even wrote the theme into the empty /etc/sddm.conf. No luck. SDDM from experimental seems to ignore theme completely?

The alternatives system: update-alternatives --config sddm-debian-theme and Systemsettings. This is confusing. So yeah, maybe good opportunity to check whether things are sound in there. Ah, and while digging for issues I also found a black screen issue with amdgpu: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1988 But that is firmware related. I have no issues with Plasma 6.2 on AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics. Best, I only just upgraded from plasma 5. One other thing I noticed, everything looked a bit odd, too big, then I noticed scaling was set to 125%, changed it back to 100% and it feels a lot more comfortable now :)
