IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Finally proposed is unblocked, so plasma 5.21.0 and fw 5.79 will be on next iso build 😀00:54
IrcsomeBot<Santa> @RikMills, That's great news02:04
IrcsomeBot<Santa> btw I'm doing the fw thing I didn't have time yet to do02:04
IrcsomeBot<Santa> a bit late but I guess the packages could take a bit to migrate02:05
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @Santa, all done now, so no worries10:22
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> updated https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Live_Images#Ships_Plasma_5.2110:22
guivercnot sure if this is anything; neon user asked on askubu (off-topic) about https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/kup-backup which has a recommends for 'bup', user says it's required.. I've not used software, but is there an issue with a 'recommends' and it doesn't exist (dropped as it was dep python2.7)11:07
mparilloso 2021-02-20 05:43 should have 5.21 and FW 5.79?11:37
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> yes11:38
mparilloTY. zsyncing. I should be able to sanity-check today.11:41
mparilloI noticed that the daily ISO loads a GRUB menu where I can see the OEM option. Much nicer than the old ISO where I had to keep mashing any key and then hit F4 (IIRC).12:23
mparilloThe live image is indeed 5.21 / 5.7912:23
mparilloHowever, the desktop in my VM appears solid black with no icon on it for Installing Kubuntu (did we default to Kwin-Wayland?). No crisis, as the live session user can type install in the application launcher or in krunner.12:26
mparilloMy region came up as Antigua. When I changed it to United States, I could not select my time zone.12:28
RikMillsmparillo: in my VM https://i.imgur.com/PwF06wc.png12:30
mparilloSo maybe something strange in my Hardware, my Win10 host, or VMware.12:32
mparilloClicking on the links in the slideshow still does nothing, but otherwise the install seemed successful. Re-booting my VM.12:33
mparilloEverything seems good on re-boot. Discover prompted me to update, which is proceeding. I noticed that we install ksysguard. Did I read somewhere there was a new system monitor?12:35
mparilloAhh, we get both12:35
RikMillsthe new one depends on ksysguard, which is annoying12:37
mparilloMy vote: Put the new System Monitor in Favorites, leave the old ksysguard only under System in Application Launcher.12:38
RikMillshmmmm12:38
mparilloAnd they both have the same icon in the Icons-only Task Manager12:39
mparilloLibre Office looks better and better. I wish K^HCalligra kept improving.12:41
mparilloSo big thanks to you and Santa.12:41

RikMillsmparillo: I guess that is the timezone issue ^^12:42
mparilloThe funny thing, is once installed, it guessed my time (Eastern).12:43
RikMillsI think the guessing is ok, but it can't return it to the UI in a form it can read12:44
RikMillsmparillo: can you report a bug? if you don't have the time, no worries12:46

BluesKajHowdy folks13:19
RikMillsmparillo: thanks!13:22
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 5.21 has been impressive so far on my laptop. Thanks Rik and Santa for keeping Kubuntu alive!18:35
IrcsomeBot* DarinMiller contemplating a do-release-upgrade -d on my main box now that the 5.10 kernel has landed...18:38
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @DarinMiller https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefaultForPlasma19:47
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Which is April release I think19:47
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Interesting, I am told a fedora dev might be wanting to talk to us about some collaboration, but I don't know what about. Perhaps it might be that as we have the same(ish) release month.19:49
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I had not seen that website, but I have heard rumblings for "non-nvidia" consideration.  But looks like Fedora is going hook, line and sinker...19:50
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> (Document) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/m8lLAHl5/file_41797.mp419:52
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Gotta be careful what you catch!19:53
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 😀19:53
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> We don't have a 'bigger boat' :P19:54
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Desktop upgrade to  21.04 on my desktop was very smooth.  And I booted into wayland from my Nvdia desktop with proprietary drivers enabled for the 1st time ever. :)21:09
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Wayland Nvidia?21:51
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> (Document) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/qCLI14K2/file_41802.mp421:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Yes, Wayland NVidia..... but no go.. Lots of rough edges still.  Wine games do not run-including proton based games.  Dual display scaling is still a bit quirky as is adjusting panel sizes in wayland mode.21:55
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Found enough paper cuts in the 1st three minutes to push me back to X.21:56
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> To be expected honestly22:02
valorieI think I'll upgrade my travel lappy soon22:12
valorieno nvidia issues in that one22:12
IrcsomeBot<X> I've managed to survive on wayland for more than a month, using amdgpu free22:22
