I got it installed, not sure if it was nature of theme or if I did it correctly. It felt really off to me, luckily it was on a test user which I deleted now. Installing and configuring Kvantum felt like blindly groping in the bathroom with soap all over face.

I won't be experimenting with it anytime in near future.

In Folder view mode of desktop if I place a folder on the desktop, it can overlap any icons on there already rather than refusing to sit in occupied areas. Is it the desired behavior or am I missing something?

Can we have a KDE splash that shows progress animation rather than the present static one?

For eg. I installed Blur-glassy theme today to check with all options selected in my Fedora 40 installation. Still I needed to install the blur option separately and colors too. After everything still Dolphin and Discover do not look anything like the picture shown.

I have seen this while trying out many themes. They either partially deploy or sometimes not.

Is it because they were built for KDE 5 and this is 6 or something?

Multiling-o keyboard might fit the bill.

This is not limited to taskbar as shown here https://lemmy.world/comment/11769386

The dragging and dropping is for adding fresh widgets using Add Widget and not to drag ones that are already on the desktop.

Here is a screenshot I took after I managed to figure it out. It seems I cannot use it in a tiled fashion though so at a time only one can be in focus.

Thank you for editing your original comment to reflect that 😎

Is there a way to diagnose cause of appearing and disappearing SSD in a desktop when SMART is OK? Mainly NVME M2 type.

[-] voracread@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

"task bar" is the magic word I needed. Thanks.

Haven't heard anything so far, what are they?

[-] voracread@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

No gatekeeping. We did not have to answer any question, write any essay showing we were worthy etc.

Reddit refugees were welcome no question asked.

Once were in, we found the admin/founder to be cool, open and reasonable.

We stayed.

What is grouping plasmoid and where to use it?

EDIT: I managed to figure it out with the help of other members here and another stranger on the internet.

  1. Can be used on both taskbar and desktop.
  2. Needs to be in Add Widgets screen, first add Grouping Plasmoid to desktop and then drag and drop other needed widgets into it.
  3. No sign of tiling option available still, top tab bar lets you change the one in focus.

I have a multiboot setup and use rEFInd to boot. The EFI option named after Neon actually fails to boot it. I have to go to the specific kernel named option to boot it.

I thought re-installing the bootloader might fix it.

Cool themes, thanks.

When we launch Dolphin, we see a pane on left side listing both mounted and unmounted partitions. If I click on any partition, I can view it but I do not get permission to write to that.

As a regular user who is the only user for this PC, how can I set it up so that it gets mounted on clicking with full permission?

I just need one that can add up few items for eg. daily expenses etc. And should pop-up keyboard automatically as soon as I touch a cell.

No need for complex formula support or fancy graphics. Single sheet is also OK.

Edit: I am looking for something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.thinctank.cellcalc

This one doesn't popup keyboard so needs two touches to enter data. And I do not know how to access stored data!

Can I as a moderator of a community I created myself post as a regular member?

In both Fedora and PCLinuxOS Debian edition which I have installed recently it seems I need to add the only user to sudoers list to perform certain actions.

How to do this?

Taking example of Signal, I need to save each and every image manually to be me available outside its sandbox. Why is it like that rather than making it easy for me to use things that have been explicitly sent to me?

I have used another messaging app called Twin Me which also does something similar.

I always used WhatsApp earlier that allowed me access to the media downloaded in chats and let me take local backups but unfortunately they now allow only Google backups!

Why is this empty? (lemmy.world)

I thought this community would be teeming with posts but it appears empty to me. Why?

12

Most of the messaging apps are "secure" hence save their data, downloads in locked space. They do allow one to save a particular image or file anywhere but it is a manual process not practical if I want to access all images I received in the last 5 years.

WhatsApp has been good for me in this regard because it saves them in a user accessible directory. But recently WhatsApp has made it impossible to use offline as backup because it refuses to read from it in a new phone. Only Google Drive backup is allowed.

Is there any other app which allows storage in a user accessible location?

I believe it is still better due to raw material availability?

Make sure that you are seeding random blocks instead of serial. That way peers who have a different block will exchange among themselves rather than waiting for you to provide each and every piece.
