So, is it possible to set video thumbnail position on Dolphin (what frame the thumbnail will actually show) or I'll need to use a third party app to have that kind of control? I'd like to set it to, let's say, 5 or 10s into the video and not other frame far ahead like it does.

I'm on Kubuntu 20.04, Plasma 5.18.5

I recently did this: sudo tasksel install kubuntu-desktop

Since then I have come to regret the choice, as many of my default apps have changed, and I can't actually seem to boot to the KDE desktop anyway.

I'm looking for a painless way to undo what I did, basically!

Is there a script or something?

Ob Paying Attention:

I did try: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop

And that changed nothing useful.

I have kubuntu20.04 the task manager does not show the loading status with some applications when starting up them such as code.

Previously I used VSCodium for my C and C++ programming needs. But I a beginning to like KDevelop more. There is actually 2 things that I'm unable to setup properly on KDevelop: Github integration and remote debugging with vgdb (I will try to figure remote debugging by myself).

I'm currently running Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME. However I would like to switch to KDE Plasma without actually installing Kubuntu from scratch. I then want to remove GNOME. So I thought I would do the switch by installing the kubuntu-desktop package, selecting KDE as my desktop environment, and then removing the ubuntu-desktop package, which to my understanding includes GNOME. Is this how I should g ...

I'll running Kubuntu 20.04 on a laptop using both the laptop screen and a rather recent external monitor (Iiyama PL2796QS) connected with HDMI.

I'm using the Katana soundbar, and have an issue with volume control in KDE. When I use volume up or volume down hotkeys, it shows new level on the soundbar, but only software "system" volume changes. This limits maximum volume a lot. Same thing happens when using the remote, or soundbar volume control buttons.

What's curious it's that alsamixer can control the volume correctly, but running it is ...

When I click on a link for example in a mail in Thunderbird or a message in Slack, an already running chrome opens a new tab and opens the page there, but does not come to the foreground.

Ubuntu 20.04, with KDE installed on top. -- KDE Plasma 5.18.5

The way I organize some things means I've invested a lot of effort and embedded a lot of useful information in the actual arrangement of icons on my desktop. For example, arranging icons for programs according to the category of program, or using one section as a to-do list, with the most urgent folders to the left and less urgent to t ...

I am wondering if anyone here knows how to use bizarre keyboard layout that comes together with standard input methods on Ubuntu-based systems. When I type: 1234567890-=\ I get: ăâêộ̀̉̃́đ-₫
and it's ok, but how you actually type numbers when you need? Alt+Ă, Shift+Ă, Alt+Shift+Ă doesn't work. Probably it is linked to default shortcuts on KDE and it needs to be disabled first, but  ...

Six was a gold-medal winner several times in a computer games olympiad. The source code is on GitHub https://github.com/melisgl/six/tree/master/six. It has been pinned for a couple of decades, but I would like to bring it up, however I'm not familiar with programming KDE, Qt or even C++. I'm mostly and assembly, C and Python programmer, and have been at it for about 50 years (really!).

I recently installed Regolith Desktop to use alongside Kubuntu Desktop. I have fully disabled screen locking in Kubuntu, such that my display just goes to sleep without needing a password to resume.

However, when I am using Regolith and my screen goes to sleep and I wake it up, I get a KDE-branded lock screen dialog and have to enter my password. Because the screen unlocker has a KDE logo, I assu ...

I was testing some features in Konsole (Plasma's terminal) and accidentally set the command when you open it to something that is not bash and now it just flashes when I open.

The default command to open Konsole was /bin/bash and I changed to neofetch && /bin/bash but I typed something wrong and now terminal don't open bash and just flashes when opened.

I've had KDE Plasma and I was able to click super+click to move windows without going to the titlebar and do super+right-click in the general vacinity of a corner of a window to resize it.

You can already do the first shortcut to move windows, but is there a way to do the second?

On Kubuntu 20.04, the online accounts menu in settings won't let me connect my Google account.

I'm new to Kubuntu but an old user of the Ubuntu gnome version. In Kubuntu, I've used latte to make a beautiful dock and sidebar. I've used this latte-layout. When I switch to this theme the sidebar and the sidebar menu don't work and the panel keeps auto-resize every second without doing anything. Then I've tried with other latte themes that have sidebar they are also not working giving the same proble ...

I installed KDE Plasma and I used it for some time, but when I switched back to GNOME, I eventually realized that when I download things when using Google Chrome and select the "show in folder" option, it opens dolphin, which is KDE Plasma's file manager! How do I make it so Google Chrome uses GNOME's file manager instead of KDE's?

I want to hide certain toolbar icons, like NoMachine, Bluetooth (the icon in blue, next to Discord), Most Recent Device, etc. The icons are taking up most of my task manager and I tend to use a bunch of space on the left with pinned and open programs, like terminal and wine. Is there a way? I am using regular Ubuntu, but with the KDE Plasma desktop. Thanks!
