Nixpkgs: Tracking issue for Qt/KDE issues on 20.09

[FRidh]

Describe the bug
We have a bunch of issues on 20.09. They're fixed first on master, when appliceable, and then backported.

Versions in use

Versions on 20.09

• Qt 5.15.0 but different versions are used for different parts, causing trouble.
• Frameworks 5.73.0
• Plasma 5.18.5
• Applications 20.08.1

We need to consider the support of these versions during the period 20.09 is supported. Brief description regarding the issues of different combinations of versions https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/98657#issuecomment-702899094.

Note, however, I have no difficulties with the setup we have on master https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/101369.

Versions on master

• Qt 5.15.0 (and 5.15.1 with #102216)
• Frameworks 5.73.0
• Plasma 5.18.5
• Applications 20.08.2

[FRidh]

PR backporting fixes from master https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/102347.

[hellst0rm]

1. KDE connect crashes
2. In system settings connection tab is completly black (using networkmanager)
3. Default browser not respected
   
   
   
   • Defaults only to Falkon.
   
   
   • Cannot set other browser either from firefox prompt or manually in systemsettings
   
   

[doronbehar]

@hellst0rm the issues you are experiencing seem like exactly what we fixed, but the changes haven't landed in the channels yet.

[hellst0rm]

@doronbehar : yes the issues with systemsettings seems to be resolved with the changes landing in the channel. but the issue with default browser not being set is still an issue.

[freezeboy]

I am currently working in PR #102840 to migrate most applications pinpointed to 5.14 to 5.15 (using libsForQt5, to follow future "current" versions).

[tobiasBora]

I tried to compile my system today with latest version of both 20.09 (1ae46bffe4a) and unstable (a52e974cff8), but I'm still blocked on the line:

Package ‘qtwebkit-5.212.0-alpha4’ in /nix/store/6xmgvgj4qyjvs5i1a2m3jsqyil1q69si-source/pkgs/development/libraries/qt-5/qtModule.nix:54 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

Is it normal? Any idea how to fix that? The trace is not really helping me:

[doronbehar]

Thanks for the report @tobiasBora . I suspect this is due to kmymoney. I pushed the fix for this in 6e0da3ef85c85d7d7a7b4b926575a054b1d29df6 which will hopefully get merged in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/102840 .

[tobiasBora]

@doronbehar Indeed, when I disable kmymoney, it works (thanks for pointing that out). Would it be possible to merge quickly that branch? I tried again today and I still can't build kmymoney. Also, I'm a bit surprised, isn't Hydra supposed to detect and report automatically these build failures?
