Few Plasma Issues

Help
1

Hi!
I am using Plasma about a year and keep having four main inconvenient problems, that are not being fixed ( yeah, I am a silent ‘hoper’ ) update after update :smiley:
Now, after yesterday’s huge upgrade to ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS KDE 6.2.3 (tuxedo os), I have checked maybe they are gone, but no, so it is time to forum this out.
Here they are:

  1. The sound setting.
    My normal setting:
    Screenshot_20241201_105534
    Screenshot_20241201_105534988×340 25.2 KB

every time I restart laptop, the setting drops to directly opposite.

how to make it saved like I need and keep it after restart?

  1. The closing lid problem.
    When I set the screen to be locked when lid is closed, after opening it, I login and am unable to interact with mouse. The cursor is ok, but clicking gives no result. Neither touchpad nor bluetooth mouse. Keyboard is ok, so I have to make a ‘switch user’ action, cancel it and everything gets normally clickable. WTF? Wayland. With X11 similar thing.

  2. Terminal language.
    I cannot tell you the pattern, but terminal keeps talking to me in my local language sometimes, even though I set english everywhere possible. All the terminal programs act the same. Why? and how to make it english only?

  3. Desktop icons.
    My setting is one-click to open, and with that, when mouse hover-sliding around desktop icons, sometimes some icons just give no response.
    Like, there is a row of tree icons, i go through the first one, it is ok, icon gets ‘marked’, then the next icon, all good, and the third one, NOTHING.
    How to fix that?

Can you please check if you are running PulseAudio or PipeWire? The best way to do it is by running the following terminal command pactl info and checking the “Server Name” value.

That is very weird. Could be a driver issue. Did you check the Tuxedo OS support forums?

Can you please post the output of localectl status and set | grep ^LC_ ?

Also weird - can you post a screencast?

having my share of sound issues too, and mine says

Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.2.4)

so how should that be interpreted?

If your server name says “PipeWire”, then the volume settings are stored in ~/.config/pipewire/media-session.d/restore-stream - you can check that the correct values are stored there.
