@marie:marie.cologneMarie :( 14:55:24
@k900:0upti.meK900OK I'm just going to send it15:06:35
@k900:0upti.meK900It works fine on all of my devices15:06:39
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)oh hey freecad! Be happy there is only one freecad to build, not three!15:09:20
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)if freecad breaks, poke me. I recently picked that up15:09:42
@k900:0upti.meK900It didn't15:09:52
@k900:0upti.meK900The only things that broke are one random D thing that can't build the bootstrap D compiler15:10:05
@k900:0upti.meK900And a Python package that's just not buildable on 3.1315:10:14
@k900:0upti.meK900Neither of those are our fault15:10:20
@k900:0upti.meK900I think15:10:21
@marie:marie.cologneMarieokay i think my issue is more or less unrelated 15:19:12
@marie:marie.cologneMarieI have a weird problem with my kvm switch, my keyboard disconnects while booting and then i have to replug it for it to connect and i just noticed sddm starts exactly when my keyboard lights up again (and i deleted /var/lib/sddm)15:20:23
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧 I just needed to do rm /var/lib/sddm/.cache/* -rf to stop my sddm from crashing... sigh 20:03:16

@adam_neverwas:matrix.orgAdam Neverwas Hi! Has anyone ever had a problem that the favorites icons don't work in the start menu, only after a reboot? 09:20:54
@k900:0upti.meK900This should be fixed in 6.4 AFAIK09:23:01

@khalil:ksantana.netKhalil SantanaAnybody here uses KDENLIVE + AMD GPU? Does GPU-accelerated rendering work well? It seems to only use ~60% of the encode/decode of the GPU according to nvtop. It's not terribly slow but I'm wondering if that is normal. (~18min 1080@30fps x264 .mp4 as input, and trying to output to the VAAPI profile results in an encode time of ~2:30minutes). My hardware is an RX7600 dGPU + R7 7800X3D CPU, storage is NVME.23:55:45

@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧Can it be, that kdeconnect file sharing does not work with nat64?09:07:16

@asshall:matrix.orgasshall Frankly I both a noob with KDE stuff and nix so what follow might be painful ^^
I'm trying to get kde mobile up to date and for now what I've started to do is replicate /nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/plasma5.nix modularity into /nixos/modules/services/desktop-managers/plasma6.nix. Issue is I frankly have no idea what configuration is strictly needed for mobile/desktop. Is there some tool/documentation that could help with that, or should I do it the painful way and remove stuff one by one ? (which really doesn't seem like a good idea)
09:27:14
@k900:0upti.meK900No, there really isn't09:28:22
@asshall:matrix.orgasshall

While I'm at it i'll rapid fire questions and excuse myself for the spam in advance

1:
I see there are pkgs.plasma5Packages, pkgs.kdePackages, pkgs.libForQt5 sets, I'm unsure where those are created, but anyways my point is the pkgs.plasma5Packages.plasmaMobileGear (even though I can't find it trough repl) seems useful. Should I be replicated for plasma6 ?

2:
Should plasma common configuration (talking about plasma5 module's desktop/mobile/bigscreen configs) be the lightest it can be ? My rational is that for mobile devices with hardware constraints it seems beneficial. However it could be a lot of work ^^

3:
Seeing the CONTRIBUTING.md file in nixpkgs repo, it says commit should be atomic, so should the first commit simply add the mobile options and install mobile only apps. And next commits clean the common configuration ?

4:
I'm seeing pkgs/kde/generated/dependencies.json is this generated using an external tool or is it a part of nixpkgs I'm not aware of ?

I'll stop there for my own sanity an you folks ^^

09:39:08
@asshall:matrix.orgasshallSo how did you manage ? A lot of build-vm and patience ?09:39:33
@k900:0upti.meK900 1) No, there is no Plasma Mobile Gear set in 6.x
2) Can't answer, need to decide on a case by case basis
3) You can have any order you want as long as it doesn't break things, though I'd maybe even consider putting the mobile bits into an entirely separate module
4) It's generated by the scripts in maintainers/scripts/kde/
09:49:07
@k900:0upti.meK900 There's packaging guidelines for Plasma Desktop 09:49:14
@k900:0upti.meK900https://community.kde.org/Distributions/Packaging_Recommendations09:50:35
@asshall:matrix.orgasshall
  1. What would be the rationale ? I'm blissfully unaware of plasma inner working but from what I gather on the plasma mobile repo is that It's a superset of plasma desktop, shouldn't nix config should more or less be desktop config (minus graphical apps that don't scale) plus mobile apps ? services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma6.mobile seems like an adequate enough option ?
