Hmm, I'll probably check PulseObject.properties['device.form_factor'] === 'headset'.
Thanks for helping debug this! - 2 hours ago

Plasma 5 Multimedia by Zren 47 comments

Hmmm, there might be a better way to filter a headset. Can you paste the
output of 'pacmd list-sinks' into https://hastebin.com/ save it, then link me to it?

With headphones, I can find the `analog-output-headphones` in the current port name. It's possible that headsets also have a common thing. - 3 hours ago
Win7 Volume Mixer

Plasma 5 Multimedia by Zren 47 comments

When you paste the output of the 'pacmd list-sinks | grep 'name:' command, make sure to remove the "greater than" and "less than" glyphs before submitting as OpenDesktop strips out the text inside. Eg:

name: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo

Plasma 5 Multimedia by Zren 47 comments

Hmmm, you're right they should be distinct however I don't know a good way to do that. I shorten the super long pulseaudio name currently. What are the names of the two speakers?

$ pacmd list-sinks | grep 'name:'
name:

You can manually edit the code to 'return name' instead of 'return i18n("Speaker")' in the code for your use case though:

Are you certain you did not have multiple version installed? Did you first uninstall the Add New Widget > Download New Widget version before installing the AUR version?

https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-eventcalendar/issues/154#issuecomment-692889549

Are you using Latte-Dock? That wouldn't crash plasmashell though.

I'm using Manjaro myself (not installed via AUR though) so I'm not certain why it would be crashing. Is there a stacktrace?

Multiple event calendar clock widgets in the panel? Or multiple event calendar desktop widgets?

When you say K20 and K19. Are you referring to Kubuntu 20.04 and Kubuntu 19.10? Are you dual booting, sharing the same home directory? - Nov 25 2020

I'll try testing Latte-Dock in a little bit. Which version of Latte? Which distro + version? I assume you are using v41 of TiledMenu.

> not so the height, which is is still 404px despite I set 600.

If you delete resizeHeight.restart() in onHeightChanged, it'll probably fix the height bug.

If you edit the background color of a tile, there's "Alpha Channel" which controls the transparency. - Nov 25 2020

This is how we fixed it last time:

Did you apply those changes when you updated to v71? v71 did not delete those lines for you as that would remove features for everyone else and only you have reported this crash atm.

Tiled Menu

Plasma 5 Menus by Zren 272 comments

It likely saves the size properly to the config. The issue sounds like the popup window's width is set to 0px when the popup is hidden. I don't experience this bug in Plasma 5.20.

Are you using Latte-Dock?

There's a fix in the comments to set a custom client_id for v68.

I was reluctant to teach you guys this method before since I want people to update to v71 with a ton of other fixes. I also saw that openSUSE 15.1 is reaching End of Life in January.

https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime

Remember to update to v69 when you get Qt 5.15.1 or it will crash plasma on startup.

It sounds like: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-eventcalendar/issues/153

Button { icon.name } requires QtQuick.Controls 2.3, which was released in Qt 5.10. I only support Qt 5.12 and above. I try to support Debian with Qt 5.11 too. Kubuntu 18.04 only has Qt 5.9.

Does pressing the refresh button in the agenda work? This sorta sounds like EventCalendar is trying to fetch the weather too early (before wifi connects). Before v__, it wouldn't fetch weather until to popup was opened.

In recent versions it'll always show all days in the selected month in the agenda. It will also show the next 14 days even if they are in the next month. There is not a config option to set how many days. There is a variable in the code that could be easy to change though, haven't tested it.

Finally, as a workaround, you can always try removing the "plasmaCalendarManager" in 2 locations and just use my "googleCalendarManager".

Sorry, I must have missed the segfault log last time.

Knowing that it's org/kde/plasma/calendar/libcalendarplugin.so that is causing the crash is a great discovery! That means it's probably the "plasma calendar api" that the default digital clock and event calendar use to show events from "kholidays", "moon phases", or personal events through "PIM". KDE "PIM" is short for Personal Information Management, which is short for KOrganizer, Kontact, etc.

Is the kdepim-addons package installed?

Do you use KOrganizer? It's okay if you don't.

Can you click "Install Debug Symbols", then link to the new segfault log? I would like to know what specific function in libcalendarplugin.so caused the error.

Error reporting? You sent a KDE Bug report? Don't do that. Or are you referring the the comment from 23 days ago?

You can't restart a LiveCD and enter the same user data. I did logout though which restarts the plasmashell process. It still isn't the exact same as logging in from a proper Kubuntu install though but I'm not installing Kubuntu to test this bug. - Sep 03 2020

Digital Clock will be doing the same in Plasma 5.20. It's not trivial to add a toggle to switch the order either, otherwise I'd have done so long ago to make single column mode better.

I can swap the weather meteogram and timer too so the weather is above above the Agenda again if that's an issue. - Aug 10 2020

Still doesn't work? Oh, you've commented twice before.
> J'ai un gros problème avec la version 66 ... tout va bien avec Kubuntu 19.10 (et avec les versions précédentes) ... hier j'ai installé sur un nouveau disque dur Kunbuntu 20.04

And:
> Am i the only one who has a problem with the V67 Kunbuntu 20.04? at startup there is a black screen :-(

I just tried the Kubuntu 20.04.1 LiveCD in a VM. I installed Event Calendar v69 via Get Hot New Stuff. Added it to the panel. Then configured it to show Astronomical Events, and selected a few Holiday locales. It worked. I even logged out, then logged back into the LiveCD user.

No idea how it would segfault plasmashell on startup. What locale/language/timezone are you using? Are you using the Kubuntu Backports? Are you using Korganizer/PIM? Do you have Korganizer events shown in the default Digital Clock widget? What KDE Plasma version? What KDE Frameworks version? What Qt version?

Or wait... hmmm. Are you referring to the Event Calendar Notification of the task? It'll appear at the start of the due date instead of at the end of the day I think.
