I have a mess with language settings. Default is English US, but in konsole, or uxterm
the output message is in Polish. I read Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats, Region is set to Estados Unidos - espanol (en_US). I mean description is in Spanic. It is Plasma related - under Xfce bash output is in English, in virtual console is also in English.

What does locale list?

I found explanation

Another update:

Hi,

I'm running plasma 5.21.1 / slackware-current
Plasma X11 show taskbar tooltips correctly
But, under plasma_wayland session, they are all blank
Cf: capture

In .local/share/ssdm/wayland-session.log, I have :
And, on mouse-over :
Anyone experiencing the same problem ?

EDIT : afterthought, probably not the best place to post. Sorry for that.

This happens because you do not run the PipeWire audio/video server, as Slackware -current just added it as hard dependency of Wayland/Plasma5, with no startup setup at all.

Fortunately, the PipeWire is well packaged, just like other packages made by Mr. Volkerding.

There is how I've setup the PipeWire server:

To start the PipeWire on desktop login, you should create a file named: /etc/xdg/autostart/pipewire.desktop

With this content:
But unlike PulseAudio, the Pipewire server does not know how to quit itself on user logout, because it is supposed to be run by systemd as "user target service". So you will end with hanged up instances on user logout.

The simplest way to fix this is to instruct elogind to kill all user processes on logout, make a change on /etc/elogind/logind.conf
There's a caveat on this setup of elogind and that's why it is not active by default on Slackware: all user processes being killed, also applications like screen or tmux will be killed, so no way to keep them alive when login remote then logout.

So, if you intend also to run screen from a remote login session to your box, probably is better to have a separate account for this, then to instruct appropiately the elogind to behave for this user.
Honestly, those things was first explained by @LuckyCyborg, eventually you can ask him more details, but that's all what I did to have a proper setup of PipeWire with the note that I do not use screen or tmux, as my box is just for entertainment.

PS. Looks like that in the near future we will have a way to avoid that "kill mode" on elogind setup, by using a daemon supervisor which will know to quit itself and its client, on user logout

https://github.com/raforg/daemon/issues/1

The developer aggreed to add this feature, and when it will be ready, we will have a good way to make PipeWire or other "user target daemons" to behave on Slackware, just like PulseAudio.

Thank you !

Here I do want to chime in that the pipewire SlackBuild is mine originally (part of 'ktown' Plasma5) and adopted by Pat into slackware-current... but it really is not that much of an issue since this is almost a template SlackBuild script, no customizations were needed. Anyone could have written it. The interesting/challenging parts would have been an integration into the OS as a/v server which starts when the user logs into a graphical session and stops on logoff.

The way Dolphin sorts (or doesn't) files is killing me. My preferences are set to sort files by name. Every time I open a new directory files are sorted by created date. So I click sort alphabetically. The default for that is Z-A for some reason so again another click to sort by A-Z. Any decent alternatives to this thing?
