I do have still installed. Not really an issue for me at the moment anyway. I think the last time I actually used it was about 6 or 7 months ago before testing out what was being said above.

Humm… I use LibreOffice a lot. Now with Plasma 6 updated. (Not a fresh instal, as I was already with Plasma 5 and Wayland before the update). I don’t have this issue. I don’t use LibreOffice dialogues, and I can both “save” and “save as” normally. Just as before using Plasma 6.
Same with creating new files, or editing an existing one. (Only tested this with Writer, not with Calc or other modules).

Like Pierre, I seem to be OK also on my side.

Reduced image

is there any way to switch back to plasma5?

Install Kubuntu

i was asking if without switching from eos…

There is no easy way. You could roll your whole system back to a prior state in the repos.

Before you do something so drastic you should see if things blocking you are going to change in the future. Some things, such as certain widgets are in the process of being updated but some things are probably not going to be updated for plasma 6 and waiting won’t help.

Note that it was said above that saving with the prefilled name did work but not when changing it to something meaningful.

Thank you, I’ll test this now. :+1:

Interesting. I’m not aware that I deviated from EOS default and my installation is only a week old. I have cairo installed and assume that it is being used. Yet the console error message points to something mission or dysfunctioning in kio.

On Plasma 6, I created/edited a document, and used Save and Save As… in LibreOffice Writer in multiple different ways - no issues here.

This is Test#2 with a dedicated file name that looks like ok. :thinking:

Reduced image.

edit: Don’t hesitate to ask for any particular file that you would like to see on my system.

Not sure if this is relevant (my guess is probably no, particularly because of testing and timeliness), but the initial Linux 6.8 stable kernel release should be out in a few days (probably Sunday)

P.S. Based on recent repo timestamps, it can take anywhere from about 2 hours to 2 days between the stable Linux kernel release and its corresponding Arch variant

Just updated to plasma 6
some minor bugs but it seems rather stable on my end
one thing that pisses me off is that dragging and dropping pictures from my browser into dolphin is broken

I saw the same issue dragging an image from dolphin to signal. Sometimes worked, most of the times didn’t.

If someone was using some custom service menu for Dolphin , you can c/p them to the new location (don’t forget to chmod +x them just in case)

  • old emplacements: /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ and ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/

  • new emplacements: /usr/share/kio/servicemenus/ and ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/ (had to create the last one manually)

Sorry for stupid question. I have endeavouros on virtualbox and started kde plasma 6 with x11 (black screen with wayland,) and installed qt6-quick3d. Cube effects can works or not? Which shortcuts?
As @ShawnsterP i have no cube entry in “Desktop Effects” panel

GPU will use mesa and in addition will have xf86-video-amdgpu installed.
