KDE Snap updates, Kubuntu Beta testing, Life updates!

/

Help us Beta test Kubuntu Plucky Puffin! Kubuntu work: Fixed an issue in apparmor preventing QT6 webengine applications from starting. Beta testing! KDE Snaps: Updated Qt6 to 6.8.2 Updated Kf6 6.11.0 Rolling out 25.04 RC applications! You can find them in the –candidate channel! Life: I have decided to strike out on my own. I can’t take any more rejections! Honestly, I don’t blame them, I wouldn’t want a one armed engineer either. However, I have persevered and accomplished quite a bit with my one arm! So I have decided to take a leap of faith and with your support for open source work and a resurrected side gig of web development I will survive. If you can help sponsor my work, anything at all, even a dollar! I would be eternally grateful. I have several methods to do so: If you want your cool application packaged in a variety of formats please contact me! If you want focused help with an annoying bug, please contact me! Contact me for any and all kinds of help, if I can’t do it, I will say so. Do you need web work? Someone to maintain your website? I can do that too! Portfolio Thank you all for your support in this new adventure!

KDE snaps fixed, Thank you for your support

/

Thank you everyone for keeping the lights on for a bit longer. KDE snaps have been restored. I also released 24.12.3! In addition, I have moved “most” snaps to core24. The remaining snaps need newer qt6/kf6, which is a WIP. “The Bad luck girl” has been hit once again with another loss, so with that, I will be reducing my hours on snaps while I consider my options for my future. I am still around, just a bit less. Thanks again everyone, if you can get me through one more ( lingering broken arm ) surgery I would be forever grateful! https://gofund.me/d5d59582

KDE Snaps are broken, sorry lights out for now

/

All core22 KDE snaps are broken. There is not an easy fix. We have used kde-neon repos since inception and haven’t had issues until now. libEGL fatal: DRI driver not from this Mesa build (‘23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.3’ vs ‘23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2’) Apparently Jammy had a mesa update? Option 1: Rebuild our entire stack without neon repos ( fails due to dependencies not in Jammy, would require tracking down all of these and build from source ) Option 2: Finish the transition to core24 ( This is an enormous task and will take some time still ) Either option will take more time and effort than I have. I need to be job hunting as I have run out of resources to pay my bills. My internet/phone will be cut off in days. I am beyond stressed out and getting snippy with folks, for that I apologize. If someone wants to sponsor the above work then please donate to https://gofund.me/fe30793b otherwise I am stepping away to rethink life and my defunct career. I am truly sorry everyone.

I have been unable to find work as I cannot drive with my broken arm and no one will hire a one armed software engineer! As you can see I am still quite capable, so if you know anyone that will give me a chance, please contact me! Any help is appreciated, donations will go to internet costs, food, medical expenses, and gas to continued doctor/hospital visits. Thank you! https://gofund.me/d5d59582
