| IrcsomeBot_ | <myfenris> thanks for the MoM (re @RikMills: Please all read: https://lists.launchpad.net/kubuntu-council/msg01142.html) | 01:08 |

| IrcsomeBot_ | <myfenris> cant wait for the upcoming LTS with plasma 6 | 01:10 |
| arraybolt3 | I think the upcoming LTS is going to be using Plasma 5.27. | 01:23 |
| arraybolt3 | could be wrong | 01:23 |
| arraybolt3 | but I'm pretty sure that's the plan | 01:24 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <tsimonq2> *dayjob hat on* Kubuntu 24.04 shall use Plasma 5 and Calamares. That was the final decision from the Kubuntu Council. | 01:33 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <tsimonq2> :) | 01:33 |
| valorie | @myfenris I'm sure that we'll have testing repos as soon as LTS work is mostly done | 02:15 |
| valorie | we alllll want it | 02:15 |
| valorie | 24.10 will be plasma 6 - a new qt/+entire ported KDE stack is too chancy for an LTS | 02:16 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <tsimonq2> *dayjob hat on* Kubuntu 24.04 shall use Plasma 5 and Calamares. That was the final decision from the Kubuntu Council. | 05:42 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <myfenris> ai ai 🫡 | 05:43 |
| valorie | @myfenris we will def. want you as a tester soon! | 07:59 |
| valorie | if things go *very* well, perhaps in a "proposed" repos before the LTS is released | 08:00 |
| valorie | but there is a lotta testing between now and then | 08:00 |

| arraybolt3 | sgmoore: heya! How much longer are you intending to be around? I heard there was stuff to be done with Calamares - I don't know if that's a priority for you today or not, but I was hoping on getting started and wondered if you wanted to lead and I try to help, or if you'd like to tell me what you want to see in a Kubuntu Calamares and I can try to just do it and you review it later on. | 18:00 |
| * arraybolt3 syncs the Noble ISO in the mean time | 18:00 | |
| arraybolt3 | (for context Lubuntu already uses the Calamares installer so my idea was going to be to use our config as a base and port it to Kubuntu, similar to what was done previously with Ubuntu Studio back when it used Calamares. Then try to figure out OEM install mode.) | 18:02 |
| arraybolt3 | mmikowski: ping | 21:00 |
| arraybolt3 | mmikowski: pong | 21:01 |
| arraybolt3 | (testing IRC client weirdness) | 21:01 |
| arraybolt3 | ok, I've done a chaotic port of the Calamares config for Lubuntu over to Kubuntu just to get the beginnings of a base to build from. It looks like a Frankenstein's monster currently due to the branding still being all Kubuntu-based, but it looks like it's actually working, at least to begin with. | 21:59 |
| arraybolt3 | https://i.imgur.com/LEZ4BLt.png | 21:59 |
| arraybolt3 | ok so it crashed at the very end BUT it got almost all the way through! | 22:01 |
| arraybolt3 | holy smoke it actually worked, it's booting the installed system now | 22:02 |
| arraybolt3 | yep, I can boot after that | 22:03 |
| arraybolt3 | feels like the time I "installed" a floppy disk using duct tape | 22:04 |
| arraybolt3 | *floppy disk drive | 22:04 |
| arraybolt3 | so now we just need an OEM mode, some technical adjustments, and a heaping helping of actually good branding. | 22:06 |
| arraybolt3 | and some localization | 22:06 |
| arraybolt3 | I guess next I'll download a Neon ISO and figure out how they implemented OEM mode, then try to hack that in | 22:08 |
