Some feedback on KDE6 install



Hi,

First a big thank to everyone involved. It was nearly smooth.

I was running unstable + some experimental stuff and did:

apt -t experimental install plasma-desktop kgamma digikam frameworkintegration6 powerdevil kscreen libkscreenlocker6 plasma-widgets-addons sddm

Everything when well. And I then restarted.

sddmd did pop up and I tough it was already fine.

However when I logged in, the screen went back, stay so for one minute or so and then I was back to sddm prompt.

So I though some pacage where missing and did an experimental upgrade from console login. I saw that some packages like dokphin, kwrite, kgamma, ... were missing and installed them.

Just to discover that this did not fix the problem. So I was about to change my session type to fvwm that I keep when kde breaks, just to realize that during sddm upgrade, the session type was not set to plasma-x11. Changing it back to it, made login work successfully.

I still have some minor annoyance (my taste):

	1) The list of recent element is empty and generates errors on sqlite,
2) When using main menu to shutdown, I had the habit to use sleep instead of shutdown. Now I see only shutdown or cancel.

	3) The battery icon is not always displayed. I have to enter
the "hidden icons" menu to see it. Found no way to make it stick on menu bar. SOme other icons that I had are still there. Dunno why specifically this one disapperared.

I do see the sleep option when I get back to the prompt after letting the PC unused. I can also use a special key.

So far so good. Thanks for the good work.
