Solved KDE 5.20 and xrdb -query dump needed

C

cmicallef

Hello!

Recently updated kde5 and related ports to 5.20.

When I try to run programs like emacs, I get error messages like this one-

> Undefined color: "FOREGROUND"

I can work around it using a custom .Xresources, but I don't want to do that. I like to run default settings/configurations at all times (if possible).

If someone has recently upgraded to the latest kde5 ports and uses programs like emacs without any problems, could you please post an xrdb dump for me?
> xrdb -query

Thank you!
 
plasma5-plasma-5.20.0:
xrdb -query
Code: 
Xcursor.size:   24
Xcursor.theme: Oxygen_Blue
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.rgba: rgb
Not using emacs, I use jasspa-me, but haven't seen any ill effects so far.

It seems that your system is not loading that path whereas mine is loading that path. I think that is the problem.

Is this somehow related to KDE exporting it's colors to non-KDE applications by default? Because I always had that feature disabled and I remember that there used to be a checkbox in the settings for it, which seems to be gone in newer KDE versions, so on another machine I had to manually add it to a kcmdisplayrc file.
more ~/.config/kcmdisplayrc
Code: 
[X11]
exportKDEColors=false
 
mickey Thanks for your suggestion. If I made the change as you suggested, I would get the same xrdb -query dump. However, it didn't fix the problem. The problem was actually corrupted kactivitymanagerd sqlite files. Not sure how that happened. Purged them and moved on. Solved.
