KDE Snaps, Kubuntu, Debian updates and “Oh no, not again..” – Scarlett Gately Moore


This week our family suffered another loss with my brother in-law. We will miss him dearly. On our way down to Phoenix to console our nephew that just lost his dad our car blew up. Last week we were in a roll over accident that totaled our truck and left me with a broken arm. We are now in great need of a new vehicle. Please consider donating to this fund: https://gofund.me/033eb25d . Kubuntu is out of money and I am between work packages with the ‘project’. We are 50 miles away from the closest town for supplies, essentials such as water requires a vehicle.

I have had bad years before ( covid ) in which I lost my beloved job at Blue Systems. I made a vow to myself to never let my personal life affect my work again. I have so far kept that promise to myself and without further ado I present to you my work.

Kubuntu:

  • Many SRUs awaiting verification stage including the massive apparmor policy bug.
  • sddm fix for the black screen on second boot has passed verification and should make .1 release.
  • See Debian for the qt6 Plasma / applications work.

Debian:

  • qtmpv – in NEW
  • arianna – in NEW
  • kamera – uploading today
  • kcharselect – Experimental
  • Tokodon – Done, but needs qtmpv to pass NEW
  • Gwenview – WIP needs kamera, kio-extras
  • kio-extras – WIP

KDE Snaps:

Please note: for the most part the Qt6 snaps are in –edge except the few in the ‘project’ that are heavily tested. Please help test the –edge snaps so I can promote them.

  • Elisa
  • Okular
  • Konsole ( please note this is a confined terminal for the ‘project’ and not very useful except to ssh to the host system )
  • Kwrite
  • Gwenview
  • Kate ( –classic )
  • Gcompris
  • Alligator
  • Ark
  • Blinken
  • Bomber
  • Bovo
  • Calindori
  • Digikam
  • Dragon
  • Falkon
  • Filelight

WIP Snaps or MR’s made

Please note that 95% of the snaps are free-time work. The project covers 5. I am going as fast as I can between Kubuntu/Debian and the project commitments. Not to mention I have only one arm! My GSOC student is also helping which you can read all about here: https://soumyadghosh.github.io/website/interns/gsoc-2024/gsoc-week-3-week-7/

There is still much work to do in Kubuntu to be Plasma 6 ready for Oracular and they are out of funds. I will still continue my work regardless, but please consider donating until we can procure a consistent flow of funding : https://kubuntu.org/donate/

Thank you for reading and have a blessed day!
