Bug 406402

It seems to be fixed already in plasma-framework.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 399155 ***

The problem with sddm and screen locker is already fixed, the problem with plasma-nm persists. Why?

Preliminary patch to fix this issue

Can you try this patch?

Unfortuanately I do not know how to apply patches. :(

Patrick, applying patches to .qml files is very simple, because it does not require any recompilations. Instructions:

Save patch from comment #3 to /tmp/plasma-nm.diff
In Konsole as root:
    cd /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement/
    patch -p2 /tmp/plasma-nm.diff
restart plasma session

I don't have plasma-nm installed. If applying the patch failed, you might need to replace -p2 with -p1 or -p3, depending on how deep the folder structure of the installed applet is.

patch -p2 -i /tmp/plasma-nm.diff

tested p1, p2 and p3... always the same output:

can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/applet/contents/ui/PasswordField.qml b/applet/contents/ui/PasswordField.qml
|index 425da7d7..f85eec24 100644
|--- a/applet/contents/ui/PasswordField.qml
|+++ b/applet/contents/ui/PasswordField.qml
--------------------------
File to patch:

Well, it's all moot now since the patch was already committed: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-nm.git/commit/?id=5014b50b719f7ab9837520799b5d9cde2a8b5c46

Please re-open in a week or so if it's not fixed for you.

Based on the patch proposed by Cristoph, is there a file where I can look the config applied?

On my current installation:
- KDE neon 5.15
- KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
- KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0
- Qt Version: 5.12.0

On 
> /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement/contents.rcc
Line 577, there still is this statement:
> height: implicitHeight; width: units.gridUnit * 15

The fix is in Plasma 5.15.5. Looks like your distro hasn't provided it yet, probably because it hasn't been released. I guess that means you're using KDE Neon User edition rather then developer edition.

You can actually apply the change yourself to the QML file on your local machine to verify that it worked.

Aha, I missed that.

I was on the same situation as Patrick on Comment 7, and I put `contents.rcc`(Comment 9) as the file to patch. After restarting the session, it crashed plasmashell everytime.

Sorry for ask but I don't know which file to patch.

Ah ok, I guess you'll have to wait then.
