[Unstable Update] 2022-10-13 - Kernels, Plasma 5.26, KDE Frameworks 5.99, Nvidia 520.56.06

I assume you added a plugin for that Animated Image option in the drop down selection, because I don’t seem to have that option?

You can without installing any plugin just right-click on a gif file and select set as wallpaper

Anyway I first did it the hard way, I first placed a gif into my user’s wallpaper folder (/home/ydar/.local/share/wallpapers/) and then proceeded to select it from Configure Desktop and Wallpaper.

Yes, there isn’t such an option like in some KDE add-ons. I didn’t add a plugin, just ducked-go a picture for it to illustrate what I was unwittingly misconceiting.

Maybe Manjaro can cook a few animated wallpapers for when these updates reach “stable”.

Almost surely a plasma 5.26 issue. Virtualbox 6.40 windows 7 guest windows jump around rather than moving smoothly across the desktop via mouse drag. This happens only in win7 guests, win11 and Linux guests work fine. It may be fixed in VB 7, but the kernel modules aren’t yet available. The visual errors did not occur before, including with kwin 5.25.90 beta, which I installed to fix a 5.25 bug. Reverting to 5.25.90 beta doesn’t effect the jumping win7 windows, which occurs in all display modes: seamless, full screen, and normal .

Managed to install kernel modules for VB7, problem is solved.

I expected xdg-desktop-portal-kde issue would be fixed with new Plasma version, but it still fails to start on boot.
5.26 seems to be quite normal update: I can’t name any new regression, but many issues I had before the update still present. For instance, switching to Wayland session with KDE systemd startup makes keyboard layout settings get reset – just as before the update. Screens still jump weirdly on logon. Night Color in X11 session still fails to apply on logon.
Stability ftw! :upside_down_face:

Dolphin windows not remember their respective location on their virtual desktop after a reboot or login after the 5.26 update.

I installed latest updates today which brought kernel 5.19.15-1 then rebooted and kernel mod did not load went to black screen.I rebooted into kernel 5.15.73-1 and everything was ok.I went ahead and installed kernel 6.0.1-1 and rebooted and everything works.I’m not really worried about 5.19 as it will be EOL soon so all is well with latest kernel and updates.

5.15.74 | 5.19.16 | 6.0.2 are released and will land to unstable soon…
On stable as well because this have some security fixes

GNOME Users: Please test gnome-layout-switcher 0.8.28 and see if I missed anything while cleaning up old code.

  • Known issue: Traditional preview only shows correct image when selected; otherwise shows Manjaro preview image

This issue is not Manjaro related, as it also happens on Arch, but in Plasma 5.26, I no longer have highlights in my application menu.
What I mean is, that in 5.25, there would be a highlight of objects the mouse is over, with the accent color.
This is no longer the case with 5.26. It happens on at least 2 of my machines, My x64 laptop and my Pinebook Pro, so it’s not architecture or driver related either.

So it’s either caused by Plasma 5.26 or KDE Frameworks 5.99.

Did we test frameworks 5.99 against 5.25 when Plasma wasn’t updated yet? currently it is just guessing …

You’re right I just checked and no high-liting on mouseover, but not really necessary.

Maybe an issue with Breeze theme? I still use Oxygen and the highlighting still appears.

I’m having this (edit: multi-monitor) issue with Plasma 5.26 (same with 5.26.1).

got the same thing, for now i can work around it by having an xrandr command set as an alias

With 5.26.1 one of annoying bugs I had before is gone.
On logon, the primary display was used to set to my laptop’s monitor and then quickly it shifted to the external one, as it was specified in system settings. But now the external monitor is set as the primary one from the very beginning of the Plasma session. That’s great!

manjaro-ranger-settings needs to be updated to replace nerd-fonts-terminus with upstream ttf-terminus-nerd. Unfortunately Manjaro’s Gitlab has currently issues, so I’m unable to open a bug report.

:white_check_mark:

What issues? :thinking:
