• Plasma 6.3 on X11: kwin is crashing whenever I plug/unplug HDMI externa

    Hi!

    Just for you to be aware of. If you are on X11 you might want to delay the update to Plasma 6.3 in unstable.

    Bug report on upstream tracker:

    kwin is crashing whenever I plug/unplug HDMI external LCD

    https://bugs.kde.org/499846

    However it is not exactly unusable. After a few crashes I usually have the setup I want. :)

    A fix has already been proposed and as soon as a package with that fix
    enters the archive you should be fine.

    So if you see this: there is no need to report upstream or with Debian. Upstream has already has three duplicates and Debian's Qt/KDE team is
    aware. Just give it some time and all will be fine.

    Or use it as a divine hint to use Wayland (in case it fully works for
    you). :)

    Otherwise Plasma 6.3 is very fine on my system. Thanks a lot for another
    great packaging work!

    Best,
