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

New KDE Gear snaps in the works

Posted on October 17, 2022 by sgmoore

KDE Extras 22.08.2 was released! https://kde.org/announcements/gear/22.08.2/

So… I am working on new snaps! This release also includes a new content snap I made with frameworks 5.98 and Qt 5.15.6. With all the new goodness, I am (Re) testing all snaps to make sure they are working as expected.

You can find a link to all of my snap releases from the KDE Snap Store Releases on the menu above.

Some notable releases that have new fixes and improvements are:

  • Kalzium: Molecular editor now works!
  • Artikulate: Now works on arm64 ( eg. Rasberry Pi )
  • Dragon: Now works on arm64
  • Minuet: Now works on arm64

New 22.08.2 releases re-tested on arm64 and amd64:

  • Picmi
  • Kturtle
  • Ksudoku
  • Konquest

More coming soon!

Please consider donating! I am seeking employment, but until then, I need assistance with gas to power my generator to power my laptop. Solar doesn’t work great in these coming winter months 🙁 Thank you for your consideration! https://www.patreon.com/sgmoore

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!
