#597 Package and ship Qrca by default on all KDE variants
Closed: Fixed 4 days ago by farchord. Opened 2 months ago by ngompa.

With the introduction of drm_panic in Fedora Linux 42, we need to ship a QR code reader.

KDE has a newly created app called Qrca that could be useful for this purpose. We need to package it and include it out of the box for both regular and rpm-ostree variants of Fedora KDE.


Ill take care of it when i get back home in two days

I think that Qrca is a good candidate for a Flatpak instead of being included in the image for Kinoite.

I'll move it out of the default group to the apps one (https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/1066).

I'd rather it not be, since we need it to read QR codes for kernel crashes.

But you are not going to read a QR code for a kernel crash from the system that crashed. It's thus not critical to have this application in the image as any other system that you have on hand should be able to use the Flatpak to do it.

hi,
Have anyone tried to use this program at a desktop or a laptop? I have and can't save a generated QRcode, and can't load an image file with a QRcode too... it seems it only works in a mobile phone to read from the cam or on the laptop to read from the webcam (tested and it works fine with my laptops integrated webcam). Is this expected behavior or should I open a ticket upstream?

See https://invent.kde.org/utilities/qrca/-/merge_requests/104

Ohh, great, this solves the first issue (not able to open am image file of a qrcode and scan it), but the second one still unsolved (generating a qrcode and saving it as image file)

I mean, it seems that generating a QRcode is part of the intended usecases...
but when I try to save the generated qrcode it open the file chooser and says I didn't select a file...

Maybe this happens because I tested the rpm package currently on our repos (qrca-0.1~20241206.203647.da129cc-1.fc41) as it might already been fixed https://invent.kde.org/utilities/qrca/-/commit/e1eca9fbc7282daa1c876efb5489eb2618b4379c

Yup, I installed now the nightly flatpak (25.03.70) and it works fine.

BTW I saw that the pt_BR translations needed adjustments, and already done it.
