| BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:36 |
|---|---|---|
| ahoneybun[m] | Heyo BluesKaj | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | hey ahoneybun[m], how's it going? | 14:33 |
| ahoneybun[m] | Not too bad, it's Friday after all. | 14:34 |
| ahoneybun[m] | At least here. | 14:34 |
| ahoneybun[m] | I need to get Kubuntu Manual 22.04.2 out the door though. | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | testing 23.04 Lunar here, so far so good, but I avoid snaps | 14:35 |
| ahoneybun[m] | s/expend/expand/ | 14:36 |
| ahoneybun[m] | There is no manual for non-LTS releases since it's mainly me working on it. I want to expend it to include them though. | 14:36 |
| ahoneybun[m] | arraybolt3: can you still recreate this issue on the 22.04.2? : 302373 | 14:37 |
| ahoneybun[m] | s/302373/https://github.com/kubuntu-team/kubuntu-manual/issues/11/ | 14:37 |
| -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Issue 11 in kubuntu-team/kubuntu-manual "Following the manual instructions triggers a known bug" [Open] | 14:37 | |
| ahoneybun[m] | I can't recreate it on my install with backports so maybe just the base install? | 14:38 |
| arraybolt3 | ahoneybun[m]: I'll check the manual, but really this isn't a manual problem, it's a buggy KDE feature that should work, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454946 (Fixed in 5.27, not in 5.24) | 17:11 |
| -ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- KDE bug 454946 in plasmashell "plasmashell crashes in ShellCorona::loadLookAndFeelDefaultLayout() when switching between Global Theme desktop layouts" [Crash, Resolved: Fixed] | 17:11 | |
| ahoneybun[m] | Well we don't want steps that lead into a bug in the manual. | 17:16 |
| arraybolt3 | Valid point. Lemme check it real quick. | 17:16 |
| arraybolt3 | ahoneybun[m]: One important point I forgot to mention is, the above bug only triggers *if* there are widgets on the desktop. | 17:20 |
| arraybolt3 | At least in my experience. | 17:20 |
| arraybolt3 | So that may be why you couldn't reproduce it. Dragging a clock or something onto the desktop and then doing a global theme change will cause plasmashell to crash. | 17:20 |
| * arraybolt3 tries it in a VM | 17:20 | |
| ahoneybun[m] | Ahhh | 17:21 |
| * arraybolt3 needs to download 22.04.2 first | 17:21 | |
| arraybolt3 | OK, pulling the ISO now, will be able to verify in a bit if my download speed stays good. | 17:27 |
| arraybolt3 | (And if nothing blows up elsewhere but whatever) | 17:28 |
| arraybolt3 | ahoneybun[m]: Sigh. PEBCAK. | 18:59 |
| arraybolt3 | ahoneybun[m]: The instructions in the Kubuntu Manual *don't* say to check the "Use desktop layout from theme" box. | 19:00 |
| arraybolt3 | That box needs to be checked to trigger the crash. | 19:00 |
| arraybolt3 | So the instructions don't actually lead someone to cause a crash. Both me and the guy on IRC must have missed that. | 19:00 |
| arraybolt3 | Thus why you can't reproduce the problem. Because the problem isn't there. | 19:01 |
| arraybolt3 | Anyway, I commented on the bug report with my findings. | 19:04 |
| arraybolt3 | Sorry about that. | 19:04 |
| ahoneybun[m] | Oops lol | 19:30 |
