I'd be good with that.

How do others feel? I know there were some reservations about Flow Dark. Personally I think it looks great with the new default panel though:

I can see Milky Way being one of the best wallpapers that never gets used. :(

+1 for darker Flow or Milky Way.

Is this to land in 5.19?

plasma-framework still has

+1 for Flow light. Different enough to not look like we got stuck in a rut and ran out of ideas, while still looking like it belongs in the longer term series of plasma wallpapers.

I haven't seen a backtrace for this, but from what I understood from the chat backlog this is triggering a QML bug (?) due to the re-evaluation of qsTr() with 5.12, rather than actually crashing in the code of this patch?

git bisect also shows that this crashes the virtual desktop and regional settings KCM in Kubuntu 20.04

Ok, lets give this a trial BEFORE we hit feature freeze.....

Probably see D24009

Hi, and thank you for contributing. It is appreciated. :)

Having Kickoff confirm shutdown could be superfluous as you already had to go through the trouble of opening it, going to "Leave", but for e.g. the lock logout entry or generic " Leave" in the desktop context menu I'd still want a confirmation.

I don't object to bumping the size for this release.

Would this handle the case where an existing look-and-feel package that did NOT specify a wallpaper, then in a new version adds one? And that occurs on a users system the l-n-f package was already active and plasma is long past 1st plasma start.

Fails to build:

LOL. The logical follow up, would be how much of the rest of the PIM app do we retain? The only one I use is Akregator, but I fully acknowledge that a RSS reader is slightly 'old hat' now. So I am not sure.

My vote is for Thunderbird. It's a reliable and feature-filled app and it looks great with the Breeze GTK theme. This drama with GMail support in KMail is itself a disqualifier IMO.

I have uploaded a stable branch git snapshot to Focal. tar was created with releaseme, so should be as complete with translations etc as one created by the KDE release process.

This does NOT fix BUG: 415666. The distro native sources button is still missing.

Fails to build.

Ok. The daily ISO build tomorrow morning (~6 AM UTC) will contain elisa as the default music player. Lets see how that goes with testers.

I was still thinking of 'babe'!

I am minded to just go and do this, so at the very least if there are issues we have plenty of time to revert the change. Plus, real testing on more than just 1 or 2 test cases probably needs it going in the daily image?

I notice that we don't build vvave. I do abhor the name, but it has been released, it is KDE software, and some people like it. Building and getting it into our repos would make it easier to test.

kquickcharts is now a runtime dep for plasma-workspace 5.18

This is based on user feedback in the plasma telegram channel, from people trying to do a 1st build. I can only verify on the basis of their word.

As the default is likely to go in Kubuntu 20.04 LTS when we release in April, the idea of another contest sounds preferable here.

Shall we do it upstream, even?

Patched knewstuff build with this and tested. Switching between KCMs in systemsettings now seems to pull the correct KNS results.

add_compile_definitions requires cmake 3.13, so breaks build in Neon where cmake from Bionic is 3.10

This causes Kwin to fail to build with Qt 5.9.

This is installing BOTH /etc/xdg/kactivities-stats.categories AND/usr/share/qlogging-categories5/kactivities-stats.categories which is surely wrong?

I guess we are staying with the default. I must admit, I don't hate it (much) now.

For now that is in our kubuntu-desktop -settings package. If we start shipping more things like that, might be worth splitting off to a kubuntu-plasma-addons package or something like that

• Add simplemenu plasmoid:
  • • Upstream KDE source at https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-simplemenu.git/
    • Update copyright accordingly.
  • Update copyright to remove obsolete and duplicate fields.

I guess @tsimonq2 is not doing this.

We detected this thing because we have a test in our packaging which checks if the installed headers can be built and fails if they are missing bits. I ran the test in question with the attached patch and it doesn't fail.

So if XDG_CONFIG_DIRS contains additional locations, this will not work?

@ngraham @michaeltunnell opinions?

The mod to the default 'ice cold' here to make a dark version also looks interesting.

I suggest for 19.10 we could stay with cluster (default plasma 5.15).

Relevant to this is D21593

This also needs to be applied to the minimizeall widget, as this is the directly (right click) selectable alternative to showdesktop widget, so the icon size change would revert if a user switched the panel widget to this.

I really don't like it for the default.

1. 4 seems a lot, and stacking 4 vertically in the pager makes them too tiny. 2 stacked vertically does look just about ok.
2. Well, if we should have more than one VD by default, then the pager has a desirable use. If we are not, then it just does not show, but appears should a user add some. So either way, I can't see a case for removing it.

Why does it look different than Neon?

Not looking good.

The sharing tab in dolphin install samba and samba-common on demand. I just checked.

Neon CI build

@ahoneycutt .xcf for this?

Patch seemed to fix the crash. I don't use Kontact (apart from testing things like this), but on a quick test all seems functional once more.

I guess it is very likely, but all the same for the record I will request that this results in a 5.56.2 release of plasma-framework.

Ah: https://git.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/+git/systemdgenie

I think clivejo was doing it or going to do it, then bunked off to solus.

Since there isn't a new wallpaper for 5.15 I'm thinking of going basic with the design. Still missing the Kubuntu logo but I'll add that in a bit.

Yeah. We do get user complaints about the ugly icon though. It's nicer-looking in a newer Frameworks release, but it's still odd to have one color icon in a panel with otherwise nothing but monochrome icons.

I considered such a change, but rejected it as it also messes up the scaling of our Kickoff menu icon in an unacceptable way. I did it in a different way though, so will have another play to see if it goes better this way, but I fear 30 for a panel height may be pushing it too small.

I would argue not all done. As per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lmdb/+bug/1812122 the uploads for Bionic and Cosmic are still only in the proposed pocket, and require testing/verification (confirmed on the bug) to allow the fixed packages to reach the updates pocket where they ship to normal users.

I'll have to look at how much actual size it might add. We are very close to OVERSIZE for the 2GB limit, which gets me complaining emails now if we exceed it, and a warning on our image download page. I recently had to take libreoffice-base off the iso to creep under the limit again.

Is this not breaking ABI? even if just moving to another lib?
