I guess the bug is still present when you open up Muon>Settings>Configure Software Sources
Input pswd
Get an error and the source list displays for 2s and disappears.
I've searched for a work around, and I am unable to find one. Bug was previously reported as fixed?
Any ideas?

Related: as far as cli edit of /ect/apt/sources.list.d I'm embarrassed to say I am used to either gksu gedit OR sudo gedit <path to file>
What is the command to manually edit the sources list in KDE/Neon? I actually resorted to doing the "dreaded" and used sudo dolphin the other day. Yes, I was nervous. Because of my theme dolphin opened up all funky and the font was near invisible. Edited an index.theme and got out.

Thanks

You need to install software-properties-kde with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update && sudo apt install software-properties-kde

I've reported this bug and it has been fixed in the development branch: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366590 . When you find a bug, please report it on the bug tracker too.

As for editing text files, gedit is a Gnome application. Use a KDE one instead. When I installed KDE Neon, it had kwrite installed by default, but I've replaced it with kate (same developers, more options). You can do it too with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge kwrite && sudo apt install kate

Then if you need to edit system files, use:

Code: Select all

sudo kate [path to file]

Perfect! Worked! And purged kwrite
Oh, and by the way, when I went to send a bug report I was unable to due to system setup, I received a message stating my log was useless.

Thank you.

That's to prevent people from submitting "useless" automatic reports, but you can use the website (http://bugs.kde.org/) to report problems manually by describing all relevant details.
