Mageia6 - plasma - unlock widgets

Postby wildlynx » Dec 29th, '18, 17:38

Hi!

[MAGEIA 6 x64] fresh install + updated.

Installed with default Plasma, installation is almost eternally defaults.

Problem:

"Unlock Widgets" option from desktop context menu does exactly opposite:

System plays ding sound, like "You cannot do it" or "You are in trouble".
Transparent rectangle appears in the right-bottom corner.
And.
Desktop and toolbar do not react to any clicks anymore.
Already running GUI applications work as usual, and can be task-switched with Alt-tab.

Any suggestions?

PS
Tried in my VirtualBox install and it's work.
That small rectangle in the right-bottom corner was supposed to be "Widgets unlocked + something" message, but desktop hangs before drawing it...

Installed properitary NVidia driver - not solved.
Installed Virtual Box 6, booted the VM wth Mageia 6", "unlock widgets" works here, tried "spot the difference" game and ... and lost.

I have no idea what the problem is. I installed both instances the same way, what's wrong? Nvidia 550 versus VB video?

Maybe your kde profile has been corrupted? Try renaming .kde4 or try creating a new user account and see if the same error occurs?

Thanks!

Fixed by adding new user. :shock:

It fixed problem for first user (!!!) and second user is turned out to be born non-functional and now locked. I decided to keep him, because ... you know ... Mageia is magic.

Centos is boring in comparison.
Centos is like a warrior - you tell him go chop - he goes and chops everyone in the way.
Mageia 5 was like mage - a lot more quirks, but a lot more interesting.
And Mageia 6 is a WILD Mage - you never know how next spell will work. :D
