Hmm, maybe it's just the network-manager-openvpn package, and network-manager-openvpn-gnome happens to work because it pulls that package in as a required dependency.
Oct 25 2018
Not sure I 100% believe this, as:
- That package only contains the gnome config GUI and auth dialog.
- On Kubuntu support/IRC recently, a couple of people successfully set up openvpn with just the network-manager-openvpn package (the gnome one installs this as a dep)
Will have to investigate properly...

@rikmills can you ping cypber I think is his IRC handle to merge it?
Reminder. Final freeze on Thursday.

If it's not too late, change "made" to "make" (past to present tense):

Done and MR sent:
One more correction is needed:
Let's put some more fire into this thread. We just had the Beta so we are getting close to the point where we may not be able to make any changes.
Made the changes. Going to see if I can push it and get it merged.

Rik's list is great! Palapelli is pretty cool too. Single player puzzles. Adding a few games would be excellent. I play klondike from kpat multiple times per week.

Anything you can trim away? IIRC, Kubuntu ships with a full boat of System and Utility apps, which a lot of users might not need. I don't know how much space you can shave away with small apps like that - just thinking out loud.

Ok. If we do this, I would suggest:
I'd vote for Krita over all the others. It's a fantastic piece of software, on par with Photoshop and arguably outdoes GIMP.
I vote for KPatience and KMahjong. They're two very good-looking games, proving that Linux games aren't pixellated messes from the 1980s. Plus, they're sort-of "classics", included in a lot of distros and even competing OSes like iOS and Windows. It would give Kubuntu a well-rounded feeling as a complete and user-friendly distro.
These are not the smallest of apps in terms of adding to our iso size. Not sure I am convinced.
Any conclusions?

It works! Seemingly no regressions. :-)
Sep 12 2018
Landed in -release. Please test.
Awesome. Since we're in a cherry-picking mood, let me pre-warn you that if we get good results during the 5.14 beta, I'd like to consider cherry-picking https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/commit/?id=a4c724173b5c6a59331587f2e5db746dffbabdc6 too, or else we're going to get a lot of user anger over it in Cosmic.
Should build and reach release pocket in a few hrs, as p-d has no tests.
I was already considering this patch, after I noticed it had been merged into the 5.13 branch but would not get released in 5.13 as there are no more bugfix releases.
Sep 10 2018
If we leave it for 19.04, hopefully things will Just Work™ since Global Menu support was still a tech demo in Plasma 5.13.
We are in feature freeze and approaching beta freeze, so this needs looked at soon or left for next release.

Is it too late to turn these on for 18.10? It would require some testing, I presume.

At the moment it's just a proposal/idea. I'll be testing this out on Cosmic once I get a test rig set up. Then I can provide a definitive package list. Of course, folks already using Cosmic can feel free to try following the above instructions , and then see if the global menu works if they add a Global Menu plasmoid somewhere.
You're welcome?
Thank you, Nate.

@valorie Neon does not have apport. They say apport is undesirable. Do you have any idea why?

@valorie Cool! Thank you.

Then please stop accusing.
Another actionable path: purge all of Ubuntu's crash handlers from the iso. If users want them, they can apt install them. KDE strives for privacy software. Shouldn't Kubuntu as well?
As the release manager, I will not agree to this. Flawed apport might be, but it is *not* snoopware. In fact, I very much wish that Dr. Konqui would be expanded to allow kde-bug packagename as apport facilitates via ubuntu-bug packagename. This is entirely under the control of the user and make quality bug reporting easy.
Filing issues like this on phab without otherwise interacting with the Kubuntu team is counter-productive. We very much want increased interaction with our upstream KDE, which is why we have our Phab instance here. At least assign the issue to someone so that we can dialog. Just filing an issue without any interaction is like shouting into an empty room. Frustrating and exhausting for no purpose.
I just wanted to mention here that I recently installed Manjaro on a laptop, and they included TLP by default. Out of the box I was getting battery usage on-par with Windows, very impressive. No USB/Bluetooth or other issues so far seen.
I just wanted to mention this still works fine for me and resolves numerous icon scaling issues.

Oh! Okay. I stand corrected. It is astonishing how elegant a slideshow can be with just a few well-chosen images and just a bit of text. The installer should probably not be a user manual.
This sounds exciting. Where are we on this? Should we discuss on Kubuntu-devel?

Must test as 5.13 is through.....

Ok. In that case the new bug with the single commit fix for solid can stand as the new tracker for this. :)
Ah, the history is coming back to me now. :)
I will mark the original bug as invalid anyway.

It's a little different. There were two attempts to fix the issue. T8471 requested that the first one (which didn't work) be backported. Since it didn't work, I closed the task. Later an actual fix for the issue was made, that we have all verified actually works. :) This is https://cgit.kde.org/solid.git/commit/?id=122a6cd8989a4bd3096fddea908a1c2b223be62a

Gotcha, thanks. One reason why I prefer Phab is that I can never find the right component on Launchpad. I am not able to find the Launchpad page corresponding to the KDE Solid Framework package. Where should I file it?
Yup. I don't mind taking things from Phab tasks, but the SRU team needs a bug report. 😉
Ah OK, is that the correct procedure for this?
Please file a bug report in Launchpad and fill out the SRU bug template, and I'll be happy to hustle this through.
