MX-21 KDE/plasma RC1 feedback

[kc1di]

Been Running RC1 for a bit now and no problems. Everything seems to be working fine. Great release. only problem has been Opera-stable will not launch , But I don't think that is related to KDE/RC1. Will start a separate thread for that one. Opera-Beta launches and runs fine.

Been Running RC1 for a bit now and no problems. Everything seems to be working fine. Great release. only problem has been Opera-stable will not launch , But I don't think that is related to KDE/RC1. Will start a separate thread for that one. Opera-Beta launches and runs fine.

Fixed within latest upgrade of MX Package Installer (MXPI) packages.
Purge/remove and re-/install from MXPI->Populare Apps -> Browser should fix it.

Thanks did what you said and it works.

Has anyone tried connecting to FTP via Dolphin? It works great for me but it also causes the window borders to freak out and flash in and out of existence. Logging out and logging back in restores things to normal though.

EDIT: And now it's working just fine...

I swear to f***, I get the weirdest errors all the time. >_>

[Arnox]

OK, NOW I FIXED THE SDDM PROBLEM. I've found and confirmed now where the issue is coming from. (And yes, I did make sure it was booting up into systemd properly this time. lol)

In the MX Boot Options, turns out it was the splash screen the entire time. I don't know why but when I disable it, it doesn't switch virtual terminals anymore. Doesn't seem to matter which splash screen it is. It won't display and it will switch terminals if it's on. If it's off though, then it works great and transitions smoothly to the login screen/desktop according to whatever I set of course.

Install ibus-table-emoji from the stable repo. You can use MXPI

Should that be installled by default? @richb

I would say yes. Otherwise the installed package emoji-selector does not work. emoji-selector is in the iso.
