 Hi, today I will show you how to make a bug broadcast in case you find a bug in KDA software and since it's not that easy I will show you all of the steps doing it myself and doing actually a brand new account to show you that it actually works. So let's get into our desktop, desktop, sorry, and let's go into Firefox and the page that we want of course is bugs.kda.org and you will get here and you need to open a new account, you have to make a new one and then you insert your email address, in this case it's nicolaatvenorandy.com and by the way this is also the email I reply to so if you have any question about this this is the actual email nicolaatvenorandy.com I open up the email mail.google.com and a confirmation email is sent I think this is pretty straightforward but let's show it. Here we have confirm account creation and in here there is a link with a token you just click on it and then you go with your name which is nicolaatvenorandy your password which is candycrushsaga7 candycrushsaga7 you create and you're in this is your account and you can finally file a bug which is this big blue icon and then you need to guess it's a bit of guessing the right place for it. So if you don't know which one specifically you're looking for and as you can see there's lots of them you can send me an email. Generally speaking if it's an issue with a certain application then it's pretty easy because you just search for the name of the application like dolphin that's it or I know Kate that's it very easy if it's part of the desktop it's not that easy because there's no I don't know there's plasmashal I guess but it's not always it's not always there that you actually have to file the bug but in case you get it wrong don't worry if you're having a bug with Plasma which is all of caddy except the apps basically plasmashal in this case is probably multi-purpose so it's not even like the desktop one I wonder if there's Plasma desktop separate like in a separate way no yeah Plasmashal is probably the one that you want to pick 99% of the time when you're doing with Plasma if it's related to your theme it might be breeze it might be Plasma framework which here is called Plasma free sorry I can do this Plasma okay actually Plasma frameworks is not a separated place you can file bugs to in which case it's probably Plasmashal I guess still you have to kind of understand the search for what the bug is let's make as an example a bug indeed for Plasmashal and this one so this is the bug entering place and don't panic you have to select a component which is a subset of Plasmashal depending on the product this will be different but it should be intuitive so activities feature is the one on the left when is which activity analog clock is the widget with the actual clock application launcher kickoff is the one on the bottom left application menu is the one that you can select from alternatives of kickoff and so on data engines well I hope you don't have to file back about that unless you know what that is desktop containment is the actual desktop on the background with the files and stuff edit mode toolbar is the one on the top when you're in edit mode folder I don't know I guess it no it's the folder applet sorry there's even a description it's a folder applet that you can add on your desktop general if you don't know what component to select generally crash if it crashes generic performance if it's a performance bug global menu another it's this one is another applet the global theme packages and so on I won't list them all but you get the idea you even get a description then the version of your plasma master severity leave normal if you're just a user if you're a developer of course you know what severity you need to put platform well you select your distro that be unstable and then is there a kitty it's probably a boon to where is it won't packages or as you probably select linux summary this is happening happening and then description and in theory this should be easy to do if you're reporting a crash it's different but otherwise in here you do a short summary which is longer than the shorter summary which is that all explaining what is happening and then the steps to reproduce which are particularly important so what did you do to actually find this bug what you see happening after the steps what should be happening after the steps and then you repeat again the version of the software you delete the windows and macOS lines if you're not using them you search for the linux and kitty plasma version frameworks version qt versions and the linux version i guess kitty plasma is technically here so this is linux additional information could be anything else you can add an attachment here you can choose file and you go to pictures and select one like this this will be uploaded if i don't know it's like plasma the panel in here you can see similar bugs because maybe there is a bug opened already about that and you just click on submit bug and it's that easy in theory it should be something that that everybody can do if for whatever reason you're unable to send me an email and i'll try to out and what is cool is that now that you signed up you can even see all of the bug reports in the last 24 hours or seven days and as an example today i can speak properly i'm sorry these are all of the bugs in the last 24 hours and the very latest one at time of recording is on kd connect from android share a link directly to the phone via kd connect applet and you can see that this bug has an issue which is it actually lacks this summary like there's the title but there's not the it lacks the description rather than the summary and it's not very clear like share a link directly to the phone via the kd connect applet i guess this is a feature request but it should be clearer and the status reported you can if your developer change this but if you change this and you're not a developer don't do that you can also and this is cool see the bugs assigned to you if you're developer but you shouldn't be if you're watching this video but you can also somewhere which is probably thank you chrome in here you can click on this button which is reports and you can see reports of the how kd is doing in terms of bugs as an example graphical reports if you want graphs and this will generate a graph you have to select a lot of stuff here but you can also do old chart which is a bit easier to do if i remember correctly as an example if we want a chart of confirmed bugs for everything here is it this is the graph so as you can see it starts in uh 20 00 and then it goes up slowly until this peak which is in 2011 and then it goes down thanks to the effort of the bugs question team till 2018 and then something goes wrong and it goes up again so if you want to go with that well you even got the stats right now kd has uh 12 000 open bugs and we can go back and select not only confirm confirmed sorry again but also unconfirmed or assigned or reopened that's also something cool you still go see the graph and you see that the trend is that unconfirmed bugs are much more than confirmed ones and they're right now both increasing this day which is 2018 something happened for which a lot of bugs were triaged that is moved from unconfirmed to something else probably automatically given it's that certain day and it's a lot but still it's pretty cool to look at this graph so if you're a data person lots of stats and that's it really this is the kd bug tracking platform and in theory there is also kd invent with gitlab and gitlab also has bugs but currently those are not used except for exceptions early for bugs they're not used to for users to actually do open bugs again i can speak but only for developers to discuss things maybe that will change in the future right now there's bugzilla which has a new theme it's even pretty so this is how you do it if you have issues email me it's better to email me i won't get offended worst case scenario i'm busy and i don't reply but best case scenario we actually figure out how to add the bug here so any issue write me thanks everybody who sponsored this video and i'm not talking about companies up talking about all of the people in the other direction that are actually connecting me through like people and passion and liberapy and thank you really because it helps me do these videos and today i was a bit tired but tomorrow i'll be back with a more exciting video hopefully and if you think this video was too boring well i've got many many done in the day spa so go see them go check them out see you tomorrow still
