KDE on BL

DeepDayze · 2018-09-15 17:41:23

Also I had dist-upgraded my BL install to sid and no problems were had. Been running sid for 3 months now smile

Soon Plasma 5.14 will be out and more improvements hopefully.

Would been cool if KDE/Plasma 5.13 got backported to Stretch.

Hopefully there could be the possibility of an "unofficial" BL spin based on Plasma (albeit just plasma-desktop) down the road if there's interest so if others got to play with KDE on BL maybe that could happen smile

The two `curl` ones monitor two gmail accounts and I think the `hwmon 2 temp 1` may not be suitable for other users.

if they are scripts can you share them? You can remove sensitive information from them (such as the email addresses).

#!/bin/bash
curl -u username:password --silent "[url]https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom[/url]" | sed 's/></>\n</g' | grep fullcount | grep -E -o '[0-9]+'

It's obviously a security risk to have a password available but it's a chance I take.

Yeah not a good idea but it works.

Has anyone using Firefox on Plasma been hit by the insane-CPU-usage bug?
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=909818
This seems only to be affecting the DE's like Gnome, KDE, XFCE...

Nope! No issues here.

This is with KDE Neon (Bionic, user edition). Google Chrome is open (two tabs: this site and Ask Ubuntu) and with Firefox playing a YouTube video:

No. I'm using most recent Firefox on the most recent KDE Plasma and have not had any such issues.

Same here...maybe some oddball configurations causing this?

johnraff · 2018-10-18 07:17:32

Maybe it's only certain web pages that trigger it off.
I've had no problems myself, but it seems to be connected with something that more sophsticated DEs do...

On Openbox FF works fine.
