[Stable Update] 2021-08-17 - Kernels, KDE Software, Nvidia, Firefox, Thunderbird, Mate

Thanks!

EDIT: Turns out the culprit is most likely “Remember window size” OFF, with it turned on, I can launch console with a customized default profile.
Thanks “dalto” from EndeavourOS forum ^_^ (link)

How should I go about fetching more info useful for developers, if needed?

Original post before I edited it

On my machine, I found out that the Segmentation Fault is caused with the following line at the top of “konsolerc”

[Desktop Entry]
DefaultProfile=Breath2.profile

Removing “Breath2.profile” makes it work again. I can keep my profile but have to switch to it every time I open Konsole, ha…
No matter what I do, I can’t get Konsole to start if I set a custom default profile, even a brand new one. But in the meantime, it works with the… erm, default default profile if that makes sense :sweat_smile:

This worked for me. I just removed the line where I had my default profile to be my custom profile. I have to remake my profile again, but at least I can stop using Kate’s terminal function as my main terminal. Thanks to you and ddns above.

Sorry, should have clarified from the get go I can keep using my old profile, just need to switch to it manually; BUT!

I just had a look at the EndeavourOS forum, and some smart folks there figured out having “Remember window size” OFF while ALSO auto-loading a profile will make Konsole segfault. So for now, we gotta live with remembering window size I suppose! Adding this to my post now.

I had some issues with my Latte Dock layout getting messed up. I fixed that, but my system tray icons are still a little too small- not unreadable, just weird looking. I can probably fix that as well, but just a heads up to anyone reading.

Is the “Remember window size” option on the konsolerc file? I don’t seem to have it. Would I need to add it?

Everything went fine with a KDE/Nvidia system. No problems with konsole for me.

I noticed a big performance improvement after the update.

Some settings seem to have been reset. E.g. when maximizing windows, the titlebar was set to disappear. That is no longer the case.

Having issue with system tray icon size.

The padding on the images seems to have been made smaller; taskbar icon sizes were unchanged. Is it related to the Plasma theme change? How can I change the size back to the previous state, though?

For now, I will stay on the 2021-08-09 release.

My Latte Dock also got messed up! At first, only the first two applications and the application menu on the dock were clickable, so I decided to kill /usr/bin/latte-dock and remove ~/.config/latte/ and ~/.config/lattedockrc to start fresh. It didn’t work. Not really. The default dock does pop up when I move my mouse over to the bottom, but it doesn’t respond to my clicks. Not even right-clicks so I can “edit dock”. I tried using another layout and starting with an empty layout and an empty panel. The panel does respond to right-clicks, but after tinkering with the settings, it becomes unusable again.

Edit: grammar

where is this menu from,i can’t find it.

Right click on system tray, near little arrow.

Have you already checked which process is causing the high CPU load?

Hello,
I’m not very used to these things so forgive me if I come off as confused.

After updating yesterday I get the following error on boot:

[FAILED] Failed to mount <My storage HDD>.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System.
You are in emergency mode. [...]

Booting into default mode from there seems to work, I can access my HDD and I don’t notice any problems, but if I reboot my computer I get greeted by the same message again.

Also, if I turn off my computer it flashes a short error message just as it turns off. It flashes too quickly for me to see what it says, and I’m not entirely sure how to read it.

Any help on how to figures this out is very appreciated.
