MX-19.2 KDE RC 1 Feedback Thread

[Jerry3904]

We had a message that I thought I might paste here in case it had already not been noticed:

MX-19.2 KDE RC 1 a few things left from XFCE in .config and in /etc/skel/, a good job was done

As regards the delay, I will be odd man out. You can always shortcut it from the SDDM screen that shows up. And I prefer the delay. If I change my mind I can cancel. Thirty seconds is excessive., 10 or 15 more reasonable. Apparently more are bothered by it so I retreat.

I saw that but I didn't respond because it was not the first time and I'd seen it, or a question like it that has a response along the lines of, one of our desktop-defaults metapackages, possible the common one puts them in there.

the 30-second value seems to be hard-coded in Plasma so it's either 30 seconds or none.

Found it !

/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/logout/Logout.qml

Thanks for sharing great find :)

I have hated this thing sooooooo much since the day I first encountered it. Yes, it is "hard coded" in a simple text file that can be edited with root privileges.

/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/logout/Logout.qml

It's a regular text file. On line 57, change to a sane timeout, 30 seconds is for turtles. Use F11 to see line numbers. This is what you'll see
property real timeout: 30

I vote we divide and conquer this filthy beast and split it 6 ways to give us 5 seconds. Personally though, I'd prefer 2-3 seconds max.

Wow thank you! Happy days.

30 seconds isn't only long enough for you to change your mind and click cancel, it's practically long enough to go pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea while you're still deciding. Every other KDE distro I've used has the default and annoying 30-second pause. Let's be different.

+1: why have so many distros if they don't even dare to change a simple setting?

+1 I agree I set mine for 5 sec. which is plenty of time for me. thanks again. RC1 is looking very good. Thanks to all the Devs for their work.

Probably because they don't have an m_pav on their development team to find where that setting gets hidden.

(Thinking about it further, as it's a setting that's presumably in each individual look and feel's config file I don't think it can be made a change item in MX Tweak after all, but it can be make a wiki entry telling people how to change it for their particular look and feel.)

Can't you try to put these files by default in /home/user/.local/share ? I'll test this and see if it works when I create a new user.
