Dendrobatus Azureus<p>The next step was to config KDE connect in this KDE. Luckily I know that I need gufw to migrate my profile, from the xFce MX linux to this KDE MX linux.<br>It was a matter of installing gufw, which is not default in KDE distro, since it has its own nice interface. For me sticking with what I know is the easiest since I want to drive KDE on desktop again after so many decades, even though XFce is still going to be used most, due to shortcut muscle memory</p><p>.🖋️ <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mxLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mxLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/zsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zsh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/csh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>csh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/tksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/fresh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fresh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/backgrounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>backgrounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/wallpaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wallpaper</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Vallpaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vallpaper</span></a></p>
Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I also encountered another problem; I can immediately tell you that it's not a KDE specific problem but it popped up in konsole.</p><p>The subject is fonts and the section is point size. The monitors I use are not of a small resolution. In fact an ideal IPS LED panel layout for me would be an 8K panel two 4K panels flanking it and two 1080p ultra ultra wide panels at a left and right of those.</p><p>With such a setup I can monitor different machines at the glance and control them with ease. </p><p>Even on my 1080p Ultra Ultra wide panel the default Point sizes for fonts are too small. On a scratch KDE based MX Linux installation, the following problem was repeated twice in Konsole.</p><p>The first time I changed font point sizes, closed konsole. When I reopened konsole the fixed with font, was replaced with one that appended spaces behind every couple of letters.</p><p>This rendered konsole unusable for work.</p><p>Changing the fonts Point sizes to the defaults again did not fix the problem.<br>Sinds that installation was Vanilla and didn't have enough space for home and root on one partition to actually Play with KDE, I wiped it and started again.</p><p>This time I deliberately did not change the point sizes even though it was hard to read. I then copied over some configuration directories from my other installation to this One, none of them related to anything KDE wise or any fonts directory. When I rebooted that installation The problem occurred for the second Time. </p><p>As with the wallpaper issue, I immediately converted that energy of irritation to something positive. I troubleshooted the font problem for a short while and when I couldn't isolate it I did a simple thing. I created a couple of other accounts on the same KDE installation to see if I could repeat the error.</p><p>That reproduction step is vital before a bug report is created. The other accounts were also residing on my other xFace MX Linux installations, which means I could simply copy them over to the other home partition where KDE was looking at.</p><p>In the other accounts I could not repeat the error.</p><p>That means a bug report is worthless because repeatability is crucial. Since the usage of a terminal in the K Desktop Environment is important, I changed my strategy and simply installed the xFace Four terminal in KDE. In the end that was a nice move since I know all the keyboard shortcuts of the terminal by hand they are in muscle memory and they have been there for years.</p><p>As a bonus I also installed other good shells in MX KDE the hashtags tell you which. </p><p>Right now I have a KDE installation in which I can actually work based upon the MX Linux KDE variant </p><p>I shall link a couple of photographs in a few minutes</p><p>.🖋️ <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/MX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/mxLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mxLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/sh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/zsh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zsh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/csh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>csh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/tksh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tksh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fish</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/distro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/fresh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fresh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/backgrounds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>backgrounds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/wallpaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wallpaper</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Vallpaper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vallpaper</span></a></p>
