[kde] Failed to establish shared memory mapping

Hi, I've searched high and low but couldn't find a satisfactory answer to the question: why do all KDE/Plasma apps warn "Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase"? I have /dev/shm mounted (tmpfs) and /dev/shm has drwxrwxrwt mode bits

Re: [kde] Failed to establish shared memory mapping

Hi Duncan, I just discovered that a newly created account doesn't suffer from this warning. So what option in my carefully crafted (kde) configuration could be responsible for plasma/kde not being able to initialize shared memory? On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 8:43 AM, Martin van Es wrote:

Re: [kde] Failed to establish shared memory mapping

Solved the problem by recreating my home folder and only copying documents, .kde .config and .local back from old home. Guess the offending shm config was somewhere hidden in old configuration file that I can't possibly remember? On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 3:09 PM, Martin van Es wrote: > H

Re: [kde] Shortcuts stop working, application windows aren't showing anymore and the systray seems to freeze

I tend to do a lot of killall plasmashell; plasmashell & in konsole lately, due to many small plasma/systray related (presentation) bugs. You get used to it... Maybe it helps you with this as well? Regards, Martin On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 11:09 AM, Nikos Chantziaras wrote: > After a while afte

[kde] The current state of EGL in KDE/Plasma

Hi, I want to raise a question about the current state of EGL in plasma? I ask, because recenlty I've been experiencing severe instability issues using EGL, although I was under the impression that EGL was "the way forward"? (It turned out "Vulcan" is, but that's a different story). After Googlin

Re: Akregator Font Rendering Issue

I don't know if you've recently upgraded to 17.10 (Artful) but that's know to ship with a bad release of libfreetype (2.8.0) that has severe TrueType font hinting regression. You can read everything about the bug here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376630 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?i

Re: Qt 5.9 and font rendering

As a temporary work-around for the current Qt font styleName handling problems I removed the styleName from font settings in kdeglobals and Trolltech.conf, which solved all my problems after upgrading libfreetype to 2.8.1 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376630 On Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 10:54 A

Re: Years later, kmail still is not a viable email client?

The same here, but ONLY on a postgres storage backend. MySQL and sqlite should be deprecated and postgres should be the default, that's all. On Mon, Oct 12, 2020 at 6:57 AM Marek Kochanowicz wrote: > It works completly fine for me and has been for years now. > > dra...@peerfreedom.org pisze: > >

Hi, The company I work for will migrate mail to O365 and we, the linux people are fighting to get this working in our favorite clients (davmail is mentioned a lot!). It seems kmail has an option to get this working: https://userbase.kde.org/Kmail/Configuring_Kmail/Accounts/Office_365 But it does

For what it's worth: I'm using the plasma Application Launcher and set the activation shortcut to meta+esc, which automagically launches the launcher on meta. Martin On Mon, May 2, 2022 at 11:01 PM Soulfire J Backblaze < soulfire-the-w...@protonmail.com> wrote: > > The KDE team should really imp

Re: Chrome interferes with KDE

I have seen some weird stuff with Chrome and Plasma lately as well, but they come and go with reboots and/or newer versions. The global desktop stealing bug still happens now and then e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1342862 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/det
