MX-19.2 KDE RC 1 Feedback Thread

Ctrl+Alt+T to open Konsole is still not working
maybe easier to just add it by default in 'Custom Shortcuts'

I see Plasma isn't adding stuff to favorites when switching menus, well done. But when I've removed some of the default favorites, they do return when I switch menu. Oh well, maybe difficult to change this.

Muon Help in the MX-updater context menu returns "Oops! That page can’t be found." (although I would still prefer to have Synaptic there of course, I found out Muon can't even find liblfunction when I'm looking for 'lfunction')
Maybe very small niggle but the close button of MX-updater's 'About' doesn't work. (And in Dutch I need to click on a button saying the equivalent of 'Undo' to close)

I've gone through all the system settings and can't find a way to make it work so that it is disabled when typing or when connecting an external mouse. Now I can use the touch panel but the system tells me that it doesn't detect it.

My only guess here is that you may have to uninstall touchpad-indicator first.

The indicator is removed. I restarted and can work with the touch panel but the notifier says there is no touch panel as seen in the picture.

Yea, the windows close button shall better work and the Cancel button better also renamed to "Close". Also, you can just install Synaptic e.g. using Muon, and Synaptic will be shown in the right-click menu. About the Muon help page, hmm.. probably someone would need to write one, I guess.

I did a clean install of the RC1. I installed Firejail from Muon as usual.
I had no problems using Firejail in the betas, but when I installed it on RC1 it started to act strange. It firejailed Dolphin, so all of a sudden appimages or other executables couldnt be started at all. It said I didnt have the right credentials. I couldnt do any root actions in dolphin.
I am not sure if Firejail had firejailed Dolphin before but I had no problems running stuff from dolphin before.
Also it prevented me from changing refresh rate of the monitor to 115hz
And top of that it turned out the lights of my lit keyboard.
Once I uninstalled Firejail with Muon all went back to normal.

I dont know if this is a new Firejail issue (maybe it was updated yesterday?) but I had no problems with Firejail on MX-KDE beta 1 or 2.

hello dolphin_oracle
Muon
had a little slip-up. first use. after check for updates the categories showed 88000 packages and two upgradable,
but these were not added to SHOW in the muon lists. , clicking on status upgradeable showed empty page when it states on status bar two upgradeable. needed to quit and Open; then the list is full. easy to notice a difference between three thousand and eighty-eight thousand.
Will this happen just first time open or will it happen later? this only time i have seen it.

Edit: Oops! The new version was moved to main. Carry on!

I've gone through all the system settings and can't find a way to make it work so that it is disabled when typing or when connecting an external mouse. Now I can use the touch panel but the system tells me that it doesn't detect it.

My only guess here is that you may have to uninstall touchpad-indicator first.

The indicator is removed. I restarted and can work with the touch panel but the notifier says there is no touch panel as seen in the picture.

Can you install the newer touchpad-indicator in the test repo? It works for me in KDE, except it doesn't show the disabled icon in the system tray, it just sits there and sort of pulsates every so often.

The installer still has a bug where renaming the old home works but it creates a file for the user which then cannot be wrtten into. This was reported in Beta2.
Renaming/removing the file and then

Great system! I'm very enthusiastic about this build as it seems to have eradicated the problem I was having with the XFCE build ( here: viewtopic.php?p=538506#p538506 )
One thing I noted was that 'Show hidden' in Dolphin seems to apply on a 'per folder' basis and needs to be set for every folder visited rather than applying to all folders. I am not familiar with KDE and Dolphin though, so for all I know this might be the default behaviour.

I believe so, and it remembers your display/view settings for each folder, which I like.

What I miss in THunar is that the settings are global. If I set 'view hidden" it applies to all. If I set "sort files based on Modified Date, in descending order" it applies to all. If I set "View as Thumbnails", it's globally applied.

In Dolphin (as in Nemo and Caja), you can per per folder view settings. So my wallpaper folder could have "VIew THumbnails" while my documents folder could simply display all File Details.

PS. I'm almost sure though that Dolphin does have a setting where you can make your view settings apply to all folders.

indeed, it's actually the very first setting: General - Behavior - View
