Bug ID: 452367
Summary: Determining the KDE version is too difficult and keeps
changing over time
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bk...@gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
There is a general splash page that can be gotten to via "K Menu -> ..."
Sadly, I have a bug wherein "K Menu" is not working. Googling around
gets you to all sorts of out-of-date-yet-produces-a-number results.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Google "KDE Version"
OBSERVED RESULT
$ for cmd in kdeinit5 plasmashell kf5-config kate
> do printf "\n=== %s ===\n" $cmd ; $cmd --version ; done
=== kdeinit5 ===
Qt: 5.12.7
KDE: 5.76.0
=== plasmashell ===
plasmashell 5.18.6
=== kf5-config ===
Qt: 5.12.7
KDE Frameworks: 5.76.0
kf5-config: 1.0
=== kate ===
kate 20.04.2
EXPECTED RESULT
I'd know what version I'd be reporting against.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System) --- *IF* K-Menu worked
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.12.7
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Recommended solution:
The "Help" menus generally have an "About KDE" entry. That is the very first
place I looked. Nope. It's why I resorted to Google and found all the
conflicting pieces of advice.
