KDE Snap Updates, Kubuntu Updates, More life updates!

Life: Last week we were enjoying springtime, this week winter has made a comeback! Good news on the broken arm front, the infection is gone, so they can finally deal with the broken issue again. I will have a less invasive surgery April 25th to pull the bones back together so they can properly knit back together! If you can spare any change please consider a donation to my continued healing and recovery, or just support my work 🙂 Kubuntu: While testing Beta I came across some crashy apps ( Namely PIM ) due to apparmor. I have uploaded fixed profiles for kmail, akregator, akonadiconsole, konqueror, tellico KDE Snaps: Added sctp support in Qt https://invent.kde.org/neon/snap-packaging/kde-qt6-core-sdk/-/commit/bbcb1dc39044b930ab718c8ffabfa20ccd2b0f75 This will allow me to finish a pyside6 snap and fix FreeCAD build. Changed build type to Release in the kf6-core24-sdk which will reduce the size of kf6-core24 significantly. Fixed a few startup errors in kf5-core24 and kf6-core24 snapcraft-desktop-integration. Soumyadeep fixed wayland icons in https://invent.kde.org/neon/snap-packaging/kf6-core-sdk/-/merge_requests/3 KDE Applications 25.03.90 RC released to –candidate ( I know it says 24.12.3, version won’t be updated until 25.04.0 release ) Kasts core24 fixed in –candidate Kate now core24 with Breeze theme! –candidate Neochat: Fixed missing QML and 25.04 dependencies in –candidate Kdenlive now with Galxnimate animations! –candidate Digikam 8.6.0 now with scanner support in –stable Kstars 3.7.6 released to –stable for realz, removed store rejected plugs.

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. New core24 Snaps: Arianna – Epub viewer k3b – Disc burner Snapcraft: Fixes for the qt5 kde-neon extension https://github.com/canonical/snapcraft/pull/5261
