KDE snaps at Ubuntu Summit 2022, see you in Prague!

Posted on November 1, 2022 by sgmoore

I am pushing out a few more snaps as I prepare for the Ubuntu Summit next week! At the summit I will be co-hosting a snap workshop where I will dissect and explain what goes into snapping KDE apps. I am very excited! Some of the main goals to accomplish while I am there include:

  • Start knocking out our wonderful PIM suite.
  • Sort out apps that want access to system-files and give it to them.
  • Calligra office suite.
  • Access to the neon extention so I may update some issues I am running into.
  • A few apps that require daemon ability ( I believe there is a workshop for this 🙂 )
  • See old friends that I haven’t seen in forever it seems!

Todays releases are as follows:

  • Kig
  • Kreversi
  • Kruler
  • Kshisen
  • Kigo
  • Killbots
  • Kiriki
  • Kiten

Please consider donating! Helps keep the lights on so I can get more Kool software out to you.

Posted on October 26, 2022 by sgmoore

First Snow! Witch Wells Arizona

While trying to stay warm in our first snow of the year, I got several apps tested and released in round 3 of https://www.scarlettgatelymoore.dev/kde-gear-snaps-round-2/ ! All of these are being ( re ) tested on both arm64 and amd64. Hence, the release is going slower than it will in the future. Thank you for your patience.

  • Kalzium ( again ) Molecule editor works. Known bug downloading molecules. Just go to Home/Documents and rename the file hotsuff-access.xml to themolecule.cml and load molecule as a temporary work around until a permanent fix comes about. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461027
  • Ktuberling
  • Kbounce
  • Kmplot
  • Kbreakout
  • Knavalbattle

KDE is all about the apps!

Posted on October 1, 2022 by sgmoore

Hello everyone. I am back to bringing KDE to your desktops in a variety of formats. I am always working on Debian packages, but now I will be working diligently to get these packages in Debian proper. Along with Debian packaging, I will be working on getting KDE into a variety of new packaging formats that are self contained packages of awesomeness. These formats are Snaps, Appimages and Flatpacks. I am starting with Snaps because I started the effort many years ago, but didn’t have the time to keep them up. As such, they are in a sad state, so I am working hard with Jonathan and ppd to get them back in shape. Keep an eye out in your favorite store for shiny new apps from KDE!
