Examples:
If I open SystemSettings > Audio and select Test, stock with Pulseaudio "Front Left" is truncated to just "...Left" while "Front Right" and subsequent "Front Left" test operate as they should.
With either Pure Alsa or Pipewire replacing Pulse, nothing gets truncated, at least on my Main machine. I tried editing both test sounds to omit "Front" as a test but keeping the filename and with normal Pulseaudio setup the first instance of "Front Left" as just "Left" gets entirely omitted on the first try but also subsequently returns to function. My guess is that latency is involved but not the whole story.
Pure Alsa or Pipewire (including pipewire-pulse) solves that issue for me and "Login" plays normally upon startup. YMMV but enabling Pipewire even with pipewire-pulse, thanks to PV, is rather trivial to find out if it works for you with your audio hardware. Best wishes.
If latency is involved, I don't this error. See pic. I have RT kernel so latency is not a problem at all (NO_HZ on 7 out of 8 CPUs). This would be latest trend with kernel increased latency. Though maybe there is something else involved.
KDE Improving File Access For Apple iOS Devices With New KIO AFC
Code:
With KDE Gear next year there will be improved support for accessing files from Apple iOS
devices like iPhones and iPads. There already exist several KDE implementations for accessing
files off iOS devices while a new one written against the latest KIO code has been merged.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

First, can't turn off kwallet. Yes, I know the procedure and have even edited the configuration file, but kde keeps returning the "permission denied" error.
Second, it won't play the log-in audio, but does play the log-out audio. This is apparently a bug going back to February of this year. Again, no solution found.
Third, for years I've been running a old ms-windows dictionary in WINE. Still works as it should in Xfce, but not in kde-5. The error is, "execvp: No such file or directory found." However, if I configure the launcher to run it in a terminal, it will work.
Any ideas appreciated.
Edit in: Make that four.
This no longer works when in kde5.

To sort directories first in Mousepad and other gtk applications;

Today's (29 Nov. 2022) kde updates for -current, fixed the log-in audio problem.
The rest remain unsolved.
