Hi,

Who's right and what to do ?

Thanks

KUnifiedPush: KDE's efficient way of delivering notifications to your apps

KUnifiedPush, KDE's client library for the UnifiedPush protocol, has reached version 1.0.0. KUnifiedPush provides a way to deliver notifications instantly to multiple apps on your devices even if the apps are not running.

Ideal for social media, weather and instant messaging apps, it will also contribute to improving the battery life on your mobile devices.

@kde

I have a use case where I would like to play games on the TV in my living room.

For this I have purchased a HDMI KVM Extender which allows me to have an HDMI signal connected to my TV. This is working great, but the only problem is that i would like to disable the other outputs when I am not using them, mostly for ease-of-use with windows not opening on the monitors in the office while I am in the TV Room.

I have tried using kscreen-doctor with the command "kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-A-1.disable" which works, but wreaks havoc on the display configuration in KDE Plasma on my desktop.

One solution I have found is to simply pull out the display connectors that I don't need on the PC, which works as intended. Only problem is that its a bit brute force. I had hoped to find something with similar functionality but controlled from the system. IE. a script, shortcut or similar.

Asking here in hopes that someone can suggest a way to get this to work!

System info:

• Operating System: Fedora Linux 40

• KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4

• KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0

• Qt Version: 6.7.2

• Kernel Version: 6.10.8-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit)

• Graphics Platform: Wayland

• Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor

• Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM

• Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

EDIT: OMG, this solution was so simple, but completely just worked. Just mirrored the main display and fixed individual refresh rates, even works when turning the extender on and off. Major thanks to @pandapoo for the idea

They don't even have wings how to KDEDragons fly??? Someone please tell me.

Hi there - I'm currently using Gnome and wanted to try out plasma (been many years since using kde). Gnome has a certain 'way' you must go along with, and I wanted flexibility.

I was struck by the limited number of supported online account types (especially Microsoft 365) that are supported by gnome but not kde. Is this something that is likely to improve going forward?

This week in Plasma: 6.2 has been released!

KDE Neon has been rebased on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS! Find out more about the changes and upgrades:
http://blog.neon.kde.org/2024/10/10/kde-neon-rebased-on-ubuntu-24-04-lts/

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

Hey hey! Looks like @kde Neon has been rebased to 24.04 aka Noble. I started the upgrade right away. The upgrade script crashed halfway because of some problem with apt configuration (probably my fault) but I cleared the error and finished it by hand with "apt dist-upgrade". Reboot, ok.

I only had to purge all that snap+apparmor nonsense that was preventing thunderbird from opening web links and crashing @Vivaldi browser. I really do not understand the point of apparmor outside of server world. How can you be so arrogant to think you'll be able to predict all the possible uses of a consumer software, and decide that it is ok to cause all the other uses to fail with only a cryptic error message buried in the system logs?

KDE Gear 24.08.2 is out! It comes with bugfixes and updated translations.

@kde@lemmy.kde.social

What would you ask our KDE goal champions?

"Can I create a KDE app in [insert favorite programming language here]?", "Will you support my [insert exotic input device here]?", "Can I get a job as a KDE contributor?"...

Let us know in the comments what you want to ask our champions and we will make sure your question gets answered.
