gv and geeqie crashes and KDE5 security flaw
by guanx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T583)
Hi,
Since Slackware 15 is in RCx stage, I'm always in fear of the arrival of the release.
Basic utilities like gv and geeqie are so buggy that gv crashes every a few minutes, and geeqie never will start. KDE5 cannot detect newly attached USB mass storage devices.
The most serious thing I know is that hibernation in KDE5 will not lock the screen first like KDE4 does, but only locks after resume, which always leaves a time window of more than a hundred ms for unauthorized read of the screen content.
Shall we give Slackware 15 RCx a little more time, or will the release have to come very soon?
Best,
guanx
