I'm currently running Linux 2.8 on Mint 19.2 and I must be 3+ months behind on PlasmaC - I've ordered a new SSD to join in without worry of scuppering myself and running out of playtime. What's the current recommendation to get up and running with minimal fuss?


What I did when I was way out of date was to build a config with pncconf with no config and cut and paste the configured data until I had a working config without plasma, Than ran the configurator.

I think I'll need to do that again with qt plasmac soon. I have it running with a 7i76e in my office but no motion hardware.

Shhh.... do not tell Phill, but i did make QtPlasmaC work on the big machine in about 5 minutes, then after a while tried to do that on my main PC and could not make it work for over an hour so i gave up ! I will have to copy it from there and use it everywhere and save it as if it was dinosaurs DNA ! No, not the Australian "dinosaur" that you guys keep mentioning, i still do no know what that is about or i forgot or ... :)

This is on my Chromebook. Is there another new module required?


I just pushed the fix for this.

Thanks, I was thinking afterwards that there needs to be some error checking for this so that a user changing a button config does not break the system.

And don't forget we need a few buttons left for the user to use!

There is and this was a bug...

The eight user buttons can be any valid user button, none are set in stone...
