So update on how my lockscreen registers failed logins when no one is trying to log in:

Apparently this problem does *not* happen if I leave music running (even if I close the laptop lid and the music shuts off until I open it again). Huh.

Did middle-mouse copy&paste (primary selection) suddenly stop working for you in some GNOME/GTK applications? Even if you use KDE Plasma or some other Linux desktop?

To get this very useful feature back run this in your terminal:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true

Apparently GNOME/GTK changed the default which also affects users of other Linux desktop environments 😠

KDE Plasma 6.6 introduces the ability to extract text from screenshots taken using Spectacle, KDE's default screenshot-taking tool, similar to Snipping Tool in Windows.

In some Linux distributions with KDE as the default desktop, Spectacle sometimes doesn't show the "Extract text" button that enables this. Descriptions on how to fix the issue in OpenSUSE, NixOS and Arch are easily discoverable on the Web, but for Devuan (and presumably Debian) fixes are much harder to find.

I'm running Devuan "freia" (based on Debian testing). In a terminal, run:

sudo apt install tesseract-ocr tesseract-libs

Type y when prompted to install all dependencies and restart Spectacle if it's already running. Voilà. For me this worked; your mileage may vary.

È arrivata Q4OS 6.1 "Andromeda"! Distribuzione leggera basata su Debian 13 con KDE Plasma 6.3.6 e Trinity Desktop. Perfetta per hardware datato e produttività! #Q4OS #Debian13 #KDEPlasma #Linux

https://www.linuxeasy.org/q4os-6-1-debian-13-kde-plasma-trinity/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=jetpack_social

Not too shabby for a couple of hours playin' around. I think I will stay on #q4os and #kdeplasma for awhile on this lil #ebox. Hopefully q4os will be updating to #Debain #Trixie soon 🤞

Here is the obligatory #Neofetch screenshot

Shout out to @somafm for providing me the background music to tool around on this lil pc.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Has Arrived, This is What’s New

KDE Plasma 6 has arrived. The first stable release in an all-new series of the phenomenally popular Linux desktop environment is available to download. KDE Plasma 6 improves security, performance, usability, and hardware support Naturally, a major milestone such as this includes scores of changes, enhancements, and new features, the best of which I look at in this post. But I want to touch on the “intangible” changes too as KDE Plasma 6.0 upgrades its underlying application framework, Qt, to a major new version, and fully embraces the Wayland display server. “These under-the-hood upgrades benefit Plasma’s security, efficiency, and performance, :sys_more_orange:

Today will stick with #XeroG (Gnome).. Will go back to #KDEPlasma tomorrow... Might as well. I like both DEs equally...

@degville For me there's too much mouse-ing. The joy of i3 is that you only ever really need the mouse inside apps that aren't very keyboards oriented. But I can see KDE being a nice halfway house between traditional DE and a pure WM environment for millions of users. I'm excited, overall! #kdeplasma #i3wm4life

I have been using the Netspeed widget on my KDE Plasma installations for a long time to display the network download and upload speed in the Plasma panel. When I upgraded to Kubuntu 22.04 a few months ago, I found that it stopped working. After doing some research, I found that the KSysGuard package that the widget depends on has been removed from the Debian and Ubuntu repositories as it is unmaintained (Debian bug).

Thanks to a useful suggestion on Reddit, I was able to recreate the functionality of this widget using the System Monitor Sensor widget. Here is what I did to achieve it.

• Add the System Monitor Sensor widget to the panel.
• Right-click the widget and click on the Configure System Monitor Sensor option in the menu
• In the Appearance tab, load the Network speed preset, set the Display style to Text Only and set the Minimum Time Between Updates to 1 second. Apply the changes before proceeding to the next step.
• Open the Sensors Details tab and in the Text Only Sensors field, search for the Download Rate sensor. I chose the Download Rate (B/s) version. There is also a Download Rate (b/s) sensor, if you prefer that.
• Click on the small pencil icon edit button just after the name of the widget, Download Rate, to edit it. Specify the down arrow symbol, ↓, as the name. Apply the changes.
• Now you have a widget that shows the current download speed on the panel, updated once every second.
• Add another System Monitor Sensor widget to the panel and configure it to display the Upload Rate by following the steps above, tweaked for displaying the upload rate.
• The result of doing these steps should look like what is shown in the screenshot below.

With this, I have a good replacement for the NetSpeed Widget on my Kubuntu install.
