KDE: bluetooth headset battery percentage

 If you like mine, I can't view my headset's battery percentage in my KDE's bluetooth notification.

To be able to see it, I need to add a line as below to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf under [General] section:

Experimental = true

Then you need to restart bluetooth service thusly:

systemctl restart bluetooth


You can see the percentage as screenshot below:




If you still can't see the percentage, it may mean your device or driver does not support it. 

That's all there is to it

Installing kde-neon user edition using btrfs for root filesystem

 If you want to install KDE-Neon using btrfs as / filesystem, there is a bug that preventing it to boot successfully to console or to X or Wayland. For simplicity and laziness :)), i won't show here the errors but straight to solution or workaround.

1. Boot to live CD installer

2. Go to Konsole and edit file: sudo vi /calamares/desktop/modules/fstab.conf 

3. find word space_cache and change it to space_cache=v2

4. Start Installer and choose btrfs as filesystem for / 

It should successfully install KDE-Neon and boot to the new system successfully.


That's all there is to it. Have fun
