Hello,

today, I tried to update my laptop to KDE 5.5.

The first problem, I've found, is, that it seems to be impossible to configure SDDM. The option is there in "System Settings", but nothing opens.

Then, I connected my TV screen to the HDMI port of my laptop and tried dual-screen setup. At first this seemed to work well, but for some reason *every* window now opens on my TV. The laptop screen was set to be default, so this is not the reason.

I configured the laptop screen to be turned off when the lid is closed. If I do this, then the laptop screen keeps black if the lid is opened again. If I lock the screen in this case and unlock after that, then the screen turns on, but the taskbar seems to be crashed.

This is just a short list of bugs, I found, before uninstalling Plasma 5.

Does someone here have similar problems? As KDE 4 also had many bugs, I learned to deal with, as they never got fixed, and KDE 5 doesn't seem to be much better, I now give Gnome a try...

Complaining about KDE bugs in Arch maillist is not best use of your time. If you really want to see the bugs fixed please work with KDE developers directly.

It might still be a good idea to just double check that one isn't completely alone in seeing this sort of behaviour from official Arch packages. Of course, the OP didn't quite word it like that was the goal of the email, so maybe I'm a bit too generous in my interpretation... /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
