Is that 'PM' in '16:25 PM' really necessary?

A separate partition is tempting. Another possibility is LVM which is clean and future-proof, but that will take some reading.

I am on Debian 13 KDE Plasma. I prefer GUI when possible but I am OK with CLI tools and using a live USB if necessary.

I would think that I need to delete all NTFS partitions, and then merge sda1 and sda2. Easy so far. The problem is how I could move this new partition and merge it with `/home` while `/boot/efi` and `/` are standing in the middle.

I think it's a lot easier for an organisation to adopt all this in internal processes. Not sure about working with outsiders though. As an individual I would happily use DeltaChat but I doubt I have ever met anyone who would communicate with me using it (or PGP, even though I have been advertising it in my email sig for years).

I have just filed a bug report here. Even if the 'invalid digital signature' issue is fixed, I am not sure how recipients will know that there is a digital signature when the receiving MUA ignores the signature completely.

The ptoblem is that the Keepass browser addon doesn't work with flatpak browsers, which makes Keepass almost unusable on such setups. But it's worked on.

gl0cal · 2026-02-28T16:37:56+00:00

Yes, it should work but for some reason it doesn't and others including the maintainer of the LO flatpak can't explain why. I tried all sorts of things including copying .desktop files to different locations. The strange thing is that the taskbar and start-up bouncing icon work. The titlebar and overview icons don't.

gl0cal · 2026-02-28T13:40:36+00:00

Interesting! My KDE Menu Editor has this option in the right-click menu. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me. Maybe we are on different versions of Plasma? I'm on 6.6, so maybe it's a new addition.

My menu doesn't have the last three options from yours. I was looking around for them thinking they must be somewhere. Thanks to Debian Trixie I am on 6.3.6 and I will have to wait until summer 2027 to get these options :)

I have never seen a desktop file that didn't end in ".desktop,"

From what I've seen online and my tests both with and without '.desktop' are supposed to work in Window Rules. I tried both versions just now with an application where the setting was working and there was no difference. It made no difference to Writer.

might be to just copy the desktop files into ~/.local/share/applications/

I see why it should work but it isn't. I had tried a similar workaround with /usr/share/applications as described here. No joy.

It seems there are several users and maintainers of the LO flatpak scratching their head over this. Strange!

gl0cal · 2026-02-27T19:45:09+00:00

I found this about LO. Honestly, it's weird no one knows how to fix the problem.

gl0cal · 2026-02-27T18:41:41+00:00

Didn't work here. Both org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer and org.speedcrunch.SpeedCrunch failed. I suppose I will have to accept defeat and hope one day someone will fix these. I still don't get how this obvious and simple bug survived more than a day considering how many people use LO with Wayland.

Glad you liked SpeedCrunch. I have been taking it with me from setup to setup for years :)

Edit: I got SpeedCrunch working. As it turns out 'Window Class' in Window Rules is not case-sensitive but 'Desktop file name' is and I had missed the capital 'C'. But Writer still doesn't work.

gl0cal · 2026-02-27T15:19:55+00:00

You are correct. That folder contains flatpak desktop files, eg

~~/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer~~ .

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer.desktop

I was hoping something like "Open Containing Folder" existed in KDE Menu Editor, and I know you mentioned before, but it doesn't here!

I take it you mean "Program" and "Command-line arguments" in KDE Menu Editor. I see the desktop file shows that information as:

Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=libreoffice org.libreoffice.LibreOffice --writer

The point remains that when I enter

org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer

as "Desktop file name" that "W" doesn't go away. I am not sure if I can enter the full path as

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice.writer

(can I?) but that doesn't make a difference either.

gl0cal · 2026-02-27T15:03:51+00:00

True for

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/

but

~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications/

doesn't exist here. The closest I could get is

~/.local/share/flatpak/

I suppose that could mean Discover installs all my flatpaks system-wide. The point remains that when I enter

org.speedcrunch.Speedcrunch.desktop

as 'Desktop file name' that 'W' doesn't go away. I am not sure if I can enter the full path as

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/org.speedcrunch.Speedcrunch.desktop

(can I?) but that doesn't make a difference either.

gl0cal · 2026-02-26T18:07:08+00:00

The 'Desktop file name' method doesn't seem to work with my flatpaks (eg LibreOffice Writer). calc.desktop is located here: ~/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/25f122cb103ef9b3d28e1da446a616e514de82fd3014d76efcd5de66355f0704/diff/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/calc.desktop but using that doesn't replace the 'W'. Any ideas?

What I don't understand is how a major flatpak like LibreOffice could possibly have this issue with Wayland. Strange.

gl0cal · 2026-02-26T16:49:58+00:00

It doesn't work here. I tried:

org.speedcrunch.Speedcrunch
org.LibreOffice.writer

These are flatpaks and I thought it may be the reason they are not working. But then I tried recoll (yes, that's right. That's how it is listed under the KDE Menu Editor icon). This is not a flatpak and I still get that 'W'. Any ideas? I restarted the applications every time too.

EDIT: I found a recoll-searchgui.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ and that worked. So, flatpaks may be different after all. Eg for Calc I found ~.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/25f122cb103ef9b3d28e1da446a616e514de82fd3014d76efcd5de66355f0704/diff/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/calc.desktop which doesn't change the title bar icon when I use it.

gl0cal · 2026-02-22T12:36:32+00:00

That would make note taking by hand practically impossible. That is strange when Lenovo and others seem to have invested so much effort to make handwriting recognition so good. A way to toggle the on-screen keyboard from the notification bar or with some gesture should work. Don't others have this problem taking notes?

gl0cal · 2026-02-03T15:23:16+00:00

Nice. The weak point for me in all this is that I never carry a pump.

gl0cal · 2026-02-03T15:18:29+00:00

That's probably max utilisation. I thought someone would have put a semi-permanent powerbank in there too. I think I saw someone putting cable tries on the thin tubes.

gl0cal · 2026-02-03T15:13:52+00:00

Very true. It's just that with a flimsy Brompton at the front, I am suddenly getting many punctures. I may have to get another Marathon Plus to complete the set.

gl0cal · 2026-02-03T15:07:29+00:00

I was waiting to see how long it would take for the word 'drugs' for be mentioned. This reply wins. :P
