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.

Sure.

Then please share it.

@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.

After this year's Akademy I got motivation once more to work on this. I'll try to do a test Pootle server and keep track of the task here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T3650

kubuntu-settings (1:18.04ubuntu12) cosmic; urgency=medium

• Remove our custom default kwinrc so new installations and newly created users have 'present windows' effect hot corner in top left once more.

Closing per Rick above.

Should this be closed?

Do your other rewrites in another task, please. Let's leave this task for this specific string, and not clutter it unnecessarily.

Indeed, we need the text to remain text, rather than be being embedded into images. Not only would that break the translation workflow, it would make changing anything (including translations) an order of magnitude harder.

@ngraham Would you favor an all-image slide show, where text is incorporated into images (kinda like what Neon does)?

it must be frustrating for you too since you don't manage to get anything done.

Absolutely.

Surely there are more fun or productive things you could be doing with your time.

Correct.

No, I truly do not know what you mean. Apport is just a simple crash reporter tool. It discloses everything it will submit. It doesn't send any user data anywhere without the user's explicit consent. It's also disabled on LTS releases already. I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve.

Lol, Nate, you know what I mean. I had to formulate it somehow :)

And I'd like to know what makes you call apport "snoopware". :)

@oysteins Let us collaborate. Please post the text from all instances right here and I'll try to re-write it in English.

What snoopware?

Actionable path: purge all snoopware out of Kubuntu.
