Nixpkgs: Creation date not shown in Dolphin file manager

Created on 9 Sep 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: NixOS/nixpkgs

Describe the bug

In Dolphin, adding a column for "Created" date does not show anything in the column.

This is supposed to be fixed as of KDE Frameworks 5.58:

With KDE Frameworks 5.58, the Dolphin file manager and other KDE applications will finally begin displaying file creation dates/times as a long sought after feature on Linux systems.
(https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=KDE-Finally-File-Creation-Times)

KInfoCenter indicates KDE Frameworks Version 5.61.0.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use nixos-unstable channel
  2. Enable plasma5 desktop and sddm

Expected behavior
Creation date should be shown. Can confirm it works as expected on an Arch Linux install since 5.58

This is probably due to using glibc 2.27 still. Someone should try bumping to glibc 2.28 and see if this fixes things.

Ah, so this pull request might solve it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66528

When glibc gets bumped, will kdeFrameworks need to be rebuilt?

Looks like the statx detection is done at compile time https://phabricator.kde.org/D20096

When glibc gets bumped, will kdeFrameworks need to be rebuilt?

Yeah, everything needs to get rebuilt, which is why it takes a little while to get things in order. I forgot to mention, you can follow the progress here:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66528

Should be fixed with 447edaa32fcee706be24db4389f4759fad68a785 in master.

(feel free to reopen if this is not the case).
