Enjoy the Progress of Kubuntu 15.04 [Vivid]

Quick fix for partitionmanager:
open the menu editor, and find Partition manager, go to the advanced tab, and uncheck "run as different user"
Save and viola!

Bug 344549 - Cannot start System Manager on Vivid by the K Application Menu: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344549

[NoWorries]

Just went to the bug report and it is fixed in Plasma 5.2.1. I am now wondering how the other "problems" that I listed can be raised or should I just be patient and assume that the developers are aware of them and that they will be fixed in due course?

[claydoh]

No, do not assume they are aware. It may not be universal, so they may not see it themselves.

kf5 port?
by birdflesh on: Feb 3 2015

Hello, any plans on porting this to the next version of plasma? Thanks.

by jaegerschnitzel on: Feb 3 2015

No real plans, but I think I will do once it becomes stable enough. I currently have no time to maintain more than one desktop system on my computer.

This plasmoid is not ported yet to kde frameworks. I think I will port it some time, but not within the next weeks or so.

[NoWorries]

Thanks for the references. I have just dealt with Screensavers and from my understanding we will not see them in Vivid as stated at https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?...330181#p330181

Shaving the Screen

As Claydoh pointed ( https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...l=1#post367640 ) the XScreenSaver is there.




A good one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XScreenSaver

Installing: xscreensaver xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra

Starting the xscreensaver.

Configuring the xscreensaver.



Adding the lock command to the KDE energy savings.



...and shaving the screen...


( the clock is Karamba clock - https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...p?61798-Clocks )


Seems to work...

Anyone else seeing 'empty' file open dialogs like this?



I can remove "Documents" in the Name box, manually change the location bar, click on Places, and nothing will show up.

The only items that will show up where I expect to see files is Network in Places.

The screenshot is from Startup Disk Creator, but Gwenview and other applications behave the same.

[claydoh]

Probably an anomaly in your color theme

[ronw]

Standard Breeze Dark colors. I had tried switching to Breeze color scheme and Desktop Theme. No joy.

Not seeing that here

[Snowhog]

Remove the filter entry.

[ronw]

You can't remove the filter in Startup Disk Creator. Same behavior in Kate, which doesn't have a filter set.

Logged in as another user -- no joy.

Very confusing indeed. I can manipulate things to get to the iso (see the youtube links I posted), but even after the dialog 'sees' the file, the Open button comes back with "Can't find file".

More file dialog weirdness:

Tried to save a krunner crash report. Hit the Save icon, type in a file name, get a dialog that says:

Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'file'.

[claydoh]

Odd indeed. No filter here.
