When the bug starts, it keeps freezing for several seconds when opening new
folders. Then some how it goes away. Restarting konqueror doesn't help.
Actually, i think if i try to select the url, it does the same thing.
I didn't figure out what triggers it, it happens rarely, but when it does it's
very annoying, it takes many seconds to unfreeze.
Anyone knows what triggers it and how to make it stop when it starts freezing
up.

Might be, the point is, both are qt5 based and so have very good touch
screen support. But when you compare the Mer desktop with KDE it is stable.
So for me personally KDE failed to deliver again something reliable.
It looks almost that they are doing prove of concept or beta testing with
KDE. I personally can not imagine waking up in the morning and need to
debug something to read mail or so...
=====================
I didn't realize the Mer project had developed it's own desktop. Very
interesting.
Hello,
Has anyone installed Debian 9 from USB? I try to install to a ~480GB
SDD that is in a carrier connected to a USB port.
When trying to write partition changes to disk, the installer stops
and complains that the root partition is offset by some multiple of
512 bytes.
I try without success to find a way to set the SSD's physical and
logical volume both sizes to 4096 bytes.
Maybe the carrier's connection circuitry affects the perceived volume size?
Maybe the SDD has to be internal and directly connected to the laptop?
Thanks for any help. Robert
sorry to be jumping from project to project, but i am back working on the geminipda device now. got debian stretch onto it this morning. (the reason i was asking about the ubuntu upgrade last night was that the flashing tools i was using weren't working; oddly, this morning using exactly the same commands -- i scrolled up to them in an xterm -- functioned perfectly, and now i have a tiny computer running debian, with lxqt running atop kwin. clearly none of it has been optimized for touch screen, which makes for some excitement (for those who find screaming and throwing things exciting).
i have no knowledge of lxqt and unless tde uses a lot more resources than lxqt, seems to me tde would be better. so, some questions:
will tdm run acceptably atop kwin, or does it need tdm? also, the hacks the guys have done have established some key bindings that are kind of important, so i'm hoping to disable kde's key bindings at first.
if memory serves, tde responds correctly to DPI settings, which if true is good, because the screen is 2160x1080, which makes for very small -- everything. but the default is something like 450 dpi. half that would be about right. i would install the kde classic icon set in the largest size (i wish that mosfet's theme were still around, but oh, well).
anybody see why this wouldn't work? i know tde is not optimized for a touch screen, but i don't think any linux desktop is.

What might these signify? They seem to be warning about non-issues.

if i were to try to go from ubuntu-14.04 to 16.04 and i were simply to change the repositories from trusty to xenial and the tde repository to the preliminary stable builds, did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, is it likely to break things? that's how i upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, and it worked well, but i kind of don't want to screw it all up with surprises. seems the best way to get stuff i need to run working.

i'm trying like crazy to flash debian on this little gemini gadget -- i'll never complain about installing to an x86 machine with a hard drive ever again -- and the flashing tool won't run on my machine for lack of libpng16.so.16. nor can i find a debian package that contains it. i've been told it can be found in some qt4 package. i do not want to install all of qt4. anybody know where it might reside?

Subject: [opensuse-kde3] plymouthd - takes continual 6% CPU with kdm
Date: 2018-05-07, 03:32:08
From: "David C. Rankin" <drankinatty(a)suddenlinkmail.com>
To: "suse-kde3" <opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org>
All,
There is an issue, that this is more to document than anything else. I've
done 2 Leap 42.3 installs. On this last one, after a minimal X install via the
Net-Install CD, I kept an eye on plymouth. In my 1st install, I checked with
top in konsole, more-or-less on a whim, and found plymouthd churning away at
6%.
On this second Leap 42.3 install (again 1st to minimum X via yast
net-install, because you cannot configure outside repos during install, only
community OSS, OSS-Debug, etc...) -- anyway, I decided to keep a closer watch
on plymouth and find out when it started behaving badly.
On the initial setup and with the xdm "Default" display manager (that clunky
old thing with the system console window running in bottom-left corner),
plymouthd behaved, no problems. I spent the better part of a day, moving
documents over, .kde, etc.. and installing kde3 and the rest of the normal
things I install. All the while, plymouthd was fine.
However, after setting kdm3 in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and kde as the
default WM, after rebooting and launching kde via kdm, plymouthd was again
churning away at 6% continually.
So there is a definite issue with plymouth and kdm. I don't know exactly
why. This 2nd install was to an older laptop, so I didn't have 6% to spare and
just rpm -e all plymouth.... Problem gone.
If anyone else still has plymouth installed and can check with top to
confirm plymouth is hogging CPU, that would be worth investigating. I can
confirm this on 2 boxes.

Hello everybody!
Strange problem here with Konqueror.
In the right pane, I used to be able to skip to the wanted file by
typing a letter.
A few weeks ago, it stopped working. It only worked in the left pane,
where the folders are.
Then, a few days ago it was fixed by an update.
But yesterday's update took it away again.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you very much for this opportunity to ask!

the gemini device (keyboard, 4G, supporting android/linux dual boot, mediatek x27 SoC) is shipping. there's a debian rom for it, but it is very early days and the unaccelerated video is a real problem. it is still my hope to give tde a spin on it, and apparently if 3D isn't used it's quick enough to be nearly usable. am wondering the extent to which tdm and tde needs 3D support. if it's none at all or very little, i might try to install it from the debiam arm repos when mine arrives monday (after rooting it and installing the stretch rom).
anybody here know?
