KDE Plasma Settings [Solved]

[Duco Ergo Sum]

Hi,

I have three issues which I'd like to try to address here.

The first relates to my keyboard map. Since my initial build of Gentoo on this PC, XDM has subbornly stuck with the en_US keyboard map. I'd like to use en_GB. In KDE 4 and TTY, this was not a problem and while Logging in I needed to remember an alternative map it was a minor inconvienence. Now, KDE Plasma and XDM both are fixed on the en_US map.

This brings me neatly in to my second issue. In the settings application it is possible to choose the en_GB keyboard map. However, having choosen this setting, it is ignored. I have also chosen to switch off the font blur and this too is ignored.

Lastly and I can't say how related to the above issues this is. Having a second monitor, I have attempted to set a second panel and the bottom of the screen of the second monitor. It seems to configure okay until I reboot and then I find two panels in the same place on my primary monitor and neither quite the way I left then. In fact largely corrupt.

Thanks.

[UPDATE] After posting this message, KDE Plasma promptly crashed.

I don't know about your other two issues, but as far as the monitor settings, I think that's a bug. I have the same problem, and I've read of others having the same dual-monitor issue in plasma. I think there's supposed to be multi-monitor improvements in qt-5.6. Mine saves the setting sometimes, and it forgets it at other times.

Hi skiwarz,

I couldn't find anything useful or relevant on this topic. Thank you.

Hi albright,

I do use SDDM and that has worked a treat, thank you.
