Details

Description: Digital Clock's settings window and whole Plasma Panel freezes on clicking "OK" or "Apply" after changing certain settings (i.e., setting LucidaBright font). Other settings changes seem to have not effect at all (i.e., setting Helvetica font)


Additional info:
This seems to be related with this kde bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285349

Solution reported on KDE bug tracker for that bug is:

"rebuild the plasmoiod; libplasmaclock is not ABI stable, so when you update kde-workspace it is possible you need to rebuild things that link against it."


Steps to reproduce:

Right-click on clock, hit Settings, change font style to LucidaBright and hit Apply button
This task depends upon

The upstream bug report talks about the Adjustable Clock, you talk about the Digital Clock, this bug report title says "Binary clock". Which clock are we talking about?!?

We build kdeplasma-addons upon kdebase-workspace, so a rebuild will not help.

Ooops, sorry. I'm spanish, so the KDE translation may lead me to this kind of confussion.

The exact component is called "Digital Clock" on native language. I thought it was provided by kdeplasma-addons-applets-binary-clock package, but maybe I am mistaken.

Thanks for your reply,

It works here.

Please try wiping /var/tmp/kdebase-*, if this doesn't help try moving ~/.kde4 somewhere else (so you can manually restore your settings later).

Also, take a look to ~/.xsession-errors. Or try to run `fc-cache -v` since this seems related to the fonts.

Complete wiping of ~/.kde4 solves the issue, at least on one of the two computers where I suffered it; so it should be a conflict between the old and the new settings.

Thanks for your time and please apologize the mistaken bug report.

Regards,

Fújur.
