The next step was to config KDE connect in this KDE. Luckily I know that I need gufw to migrate my profile, from the xFce MX linux to this KDE MX linux.
It was a matter of installing gufw, which is not default in KDE distro, since it has its own nice interface. For me sticking with what I know is the easiest since I want to drive KDE on desktop again after so many decades, even though XFce is still going to be used most, due to shortcut muscle memory

The image shows a firewall settings window with a clean, modern interface. The window is titled "Firewall" and features a shield icon with the Italian flag colors, indicating the software's origin. The top section includes a menu bar with options like "File," "Edit," and "Help," and a toggle switch labeled "Status" with "kde" selected as the profile. The status is currently "off," as indicated by the toggle switch. The main section of the window displays a table with three columns: "No," "Rule," and "Name." The "No" column lists rule numbers from 1 to 13. The "Rule" column shows various rules, such as "445 ALLOW IN Anywhere" and "1714:1764/udp ALLOW IN Anywhere," with some rules allowing both incoming and outgoing traffic. The "Name" column provides descriptions for each rule, like "Samba - 445" and "KDE Connect UDP." The bottom of the window includes buttons for "Rules," "Report," and "Log," and a "+" and "-" button for adding or removing rules. The interface is designed for easy navigation and management of firewall settings. Ovis2-8B 🌱

I've encountered an annoying problem

A critical shared Library that's used by FFMpeg and of course also used by MPlayer was not in the installation. It was an odd because even a remove reinstall of FFMpeg didn't fix the problem.

Since I'm in no mood to install a development environment from the command line to compile FFMpeg from scratch I just wiped the KDE distro and started all over.

While I was busy with the new installation so I was on the live ISO FFMPEG worked just fine and the library was there working perfectly.

You can already guess what happened when I booted into the new installation.

FFMPEG was installed by default by the distribution, since VLC is installed by default, but the shared library was missing!

¡WTF!

Then I encountered even more bugs, privilege escalation errors!

These bugs and errors have nothing to do with KDE!

They have to do with problems with the distribution from the perspective of my maintainer. It is my task to see if I can reproduce the problems after I fix them by hand if that does not take too much time and effort.

The photograph captured in total darkness shows a multi-monitor setup with two screens. The top screen displays a blue background with a landscape image of a sky with clouds and a body of water, along with a window showing a list of items. The middle screen shows a blue background with a text-based interface, possibly a command prompt or terminal, with white text on a black background. The bottom screen features a dark background with abstract light streaks in purple and white, and a blue bar at the bottom. The screens are arranged in a staggered formation, with the top screen tilted to the right, the middle screen tilted to the left, and the bottom screen positioned horizontally. The overall color scheme is dominated by blues and purples, with white text and light streaks providing contrast.

Sometimes micro migration failures bring blessings, I learned how to use

xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"

from the commandline because it started to fail to add the date to the screencaps after the migration on my main MX linux install which is XFce4 based

This sequence also opens a thunar window sorted to date with the screencap. Of course the sorting is previously configured in thunar

The image shows a terminal window with a black background and text in various colors, primarily green, white, and red. The user is logged in as "metalloid" on a system named "drawpedie." The user is in the directory "/gate/audio/raw/flac/αBeats∞." The terminal output includes several commands and their results: 1. The first command is "last | lolcat," which attempts to display the last logged-in users using the "lolcat" filter for a humorous output. The response indicates that the file "/var/log/wtmp" does not exist. 2. The second command is "sudo touch /var/log/wtmp," which creates the "/var/log/wtmp" file with root permissions. The user is prompted to enter the password for "metalloid." 3. The third command is "last | lolcat," which is executed again after the file has been created. This time, the output shows that "wtmp" begins on "Sat Apr 19 10:22:19 2025." The terminal also shows the user's prompt, which includes the username, hostname, and current working directory. The overall appearance is typical of a Linux or Unix-based system terminal. 🌱 Energy used: 0.249 Wh
