Debian uploads, Core22 KDE snap content pack and more!

Posted on December 23, 2022 by sgmoore

Sunset, Witch Wells Arizona

I have been quite busy! I have been working on several projects so my cover image is a lovely sunset where I live.

Debian:

I have updated and uploaded several packages and working on more.

  • Umbrello
  • Squashfuse with the help of Scott Moser ( Thanks! )
  • libappimage
  • plasma-bigscreen WIP

KDE Snaps:

I have reworked the CI to now do Core22 snaps! They will publish to the beta channel until we get them tested. First snap completed is the ever important KDE Frameworks / QT content snap + SDK! Applications will start after I tackle the kde-neon extention in snapcraft.

GUI-Testing:

I have begun learning/writing some GUI tests using python and https://invent.kde.org/sdk/selenium-webdriver-at-spi/, inspired by one of my favorite people, Harald. See https://apachelog.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/selenium-at-spi-gui-testing/ for more info and I hope to get these in repos near you soon!

In closing, I am still seeking employment/sponsor amidst this terrible layoff season. If anyone knows of anyone with my diverse skill set please let me know.

In the meantime if you can spare anything to keep the lights on I would be ever so grateful.

KDE Gear snaps round 3!

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
  • Kubrick ( Not on chromebook unfortunately, opengl errors need looking into. )
  • Kbruch
  • Knetwalk
  • Kwordquiz
  • Knights ( Sound is fixed! )
  • Kollision
  • Lokalize
  • Kfourinline

More rounds of bug gardening has been done, if you find bugs, or know one of your bugs is related to it being a snap, please assign to me. https://bugs.kde.org

Please consider a donation so I may bring many more apps your way.

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!
