THANKS OP, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?!
KDE 6 ON ARCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED
SHUT UP GOOGLE
(dunno why I am in a day-old thread)
One really annoying problem, in firefox the mouse cursor position is wrong. Clicking in firefox clicks on the thing 30-ish pixels above my mouse. I noticed that it only happens when firefox is snapped to the left or right half of the screen (of course that’s how I almost always use it). I can fix it if I maximize firefox then snap it left or right. 100% scaling on the monitor, nothing funky, reset theme/appearance, reset my firefox profile, etc…
Hopefully it gets sorted soon
that’s an odd one. make sure it’s reported on bugs.kde.org!
Looks like several reports / duplicates and like they’ve zeroed in on the problematic commit - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482687.
Noice! Theyve been killing it with bughunting recently
I also had this bug for a moment.
Good to hear that. At least it’s not an “only me” problem so hopefully we see a fix soon.
When should we expect this on Tumbleweed?
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1155685
It’s in staging.
Well, wasnt it already there like a week ago? Or was that only because I’m on testing repos?
Only testing. The default repos got it just now
I know my opinion will not be popular there but that’s what I love about Manjaro: they won’t rush the upgrade. I can wait for a couple of months, no worries.
Arch Linux waited for 6.0.1. Besides, you don’t have to upgrade if you don’t want.
(I did like Manjaro’s community though. They cool)
Can you freeze kde version while keeping the rest up-to-date? (Genuine question, I assumed that wasn’t possible)
Technically yes, but you’ll probably break your system because it’s a lot of work to keep track of which packages depend on what manually.
The best way to do this would use some sort of immutable distro with a frozen KDE version instead
Same here! Been using manjaro for more than 5 years by now on all my dev machines and I really like not being overrun by updates.
Once you form the habit of checking latest “stable update” forum thread (the eqivalent of checking the arch frontpage before an upgrade) and check for potential “manual interventions” (if any), then it gives you suprisingly good stability. But it’s still rolling release and “pretty current”.
And stability simply becomes more of a factor once your metaphorical “plate” becomes choke full and the last thing you want from your underlying OS is to act up on its own due to an update.
Finally my qt6 apps have a consistent theme!
Lies! It has been officially canceled. Google says so.
Didn’t realize this was happening and yay -Syu went brrr and it broke my shit. Probably doesn’t help that I’m running nvidia with linux (endeavouros). Wayland doesn’t work at all (black screen on login with only mouse ptr, wrong resolution), while Xorg is now much less smooth e.g. on the switching desktop animations. Moving windows around and in-window graphics are fine. Some graphical config stuff changed too; I’m still taking inventory.
I’m also currently playing with nvidia vs nvidia-dkms with different kernels to see if that solves anything.
On rolling release distros you should always read (or at least skim) over what’s being updated and if it may impact you.
Sorry to hear that. Also on EOS and it is working great.
and it broke all my theeeeeeeeeeeeeeemes! \o/
This is why it is a full number release not point release. In those they make breaking changes.
I’m well aware. I was being facetious.
I had to uninstall thermal monitor applet. Is there a thermal applet for Plasma 6?
I installed it on my endeavour laptop last night and apart from reconfiguring my dock-like panel and weather widget, it’s all been plain sailing so far. Now I just need Tumbleweed to release it so I can update my main desktop!
dock-like panel
Had to set one up for myself because Latte Dock seems to be fully dead on 6 🥲
Yeah, it won’t have been ported to Qt 6 and if IIRC widgets and plasmoids work differently now.

Hmm . . . this explains why my SDDM login screen was throwing weird errors and none of the old splash screens are available in the native store.
My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.
Funny you mention desktop: I’ve been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn’t want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now…
I reinstalled EndeavourOS on my main desktop yesterday, fresh install, just for Plasma 6. So far, big worth it even though I have a lot to set up still.
It’s working fine for me. I like the improved icons and slightly adjusted layout, and the auto-hide panel feature is great.
Issues with my setup: window title applet isn’t yet updated to support KDE 6. I know there’s a version on the AUR that should work, but I’m waiting to see if it hits the Arch extras repo soon. My Papirus icons don’t seem to be applying, so all my folders are Green but Dolphin’s icon itself is blue. I also did get a weird temporary black box when moving a window out of the way from an auto hide panel, and the auto hide causes a stutter when it comes back into view.

It’s really cool, but my sddm theme is now broken :'(
My body is ready
KDE 6 on Arch has been canceled
Go away Google
