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.
