[opensuse-kde] 12.1 is around the corner, and I must make my concerns known.
To the Green Blooded, The excitement is building as yet another release of our beloved openSUSE is just around the corner. This coming release looks as though it may be yet more exciting than 11.4 was; 11.4 being the distro I run only and place my clients on as well. Last release was a bit rough around the edges at launch, and had issues that shook confidence of new users. Though it brought enormous improvements in speed and stability, I must still worry about the first experience. As you most likely will recall, there were several discrepancies and throwbacks to previous versions that sullied 11.4 upon release. Primarily ones I noticed were the oddity of the DVD using the old Knetwork Manager as opposed to the current plasmoid version that was present in the KDE Live CD version. There was also the matter of the pre 11 series behavior of AppArmor in blocking Samba; this I found was more pronounced in the DVD install. (To this day I can't get Samba to work properly in a DVD install.) Since I am not a developer, and have only a brief familiarity with many of the logistical issues facing a project of this magnitude I will not offer an immediate critique. However as an Ambassador I must emphasize that these sort of anomalies, no matter how technically minor will shake the confidence of someone trying the new release. The things that we may consider minor, a new user will consider to be clues to the overall experience and what to expect; this is especially true for new users coming from Windows. Thus we lose a potential asset to the community in favor of some other distro (usually Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, or Mandriva). Frankly, I would rather we be a bit late on releasing 12.1 than to release it as finished with the same sort of issues 11.4 showed. 11.4 was a grand milestone, creating enormous buzz with its massive improvements. 11.4 launched openSUSE to a new height of interest and popularity, and with that in consideration we must be careful to not put off the new users. Further, openSUSE has long been known as the flagship for KDE and as such many people will be looking to us for an alternative to the much disliked Gnome3 and Unity. Sincerely, Roger openSUSE Ambassador P.S. In this section I wanted to raise some questions, critiques, and a small wishlist. As this is less important by far I have placed it where it is. The odd discrepancies in the DVD vs LiveCD version leads me to wonder where there was some sort of disconnect between teams. I further wonder why there was not a central unified repository for the two versions, as I imagine that would have helped remove discrepancies. Why did this occur and how can it be prevented? Though I know its late in the game to make a lot of changes to the final product, this is my personal wishlist of things to see in future openSUSE (Gnome team disregard KDE specific things): 1. Have a simple default configuration for Samba, like in Ubuntu where it simply works out of the box. a. Fix AppArmor so it isn't battling with Samba constantly. 2. AppArmor desktop notifier. It would be nice for the user to know when AppArmor blocks something, and be able to click straight through to the Profile Update wizard. But even somethin as simple as a system announcement would be superior and be picked up by the KDE notification system. 3. Maintain more current versions of some neglected packages, especially WINE. Rekonq being the other package I would have liked to see updated. 4. Amarok is known as one of the most feature rich players in all of Linux. However, it often suffers from bugs that crash it constantly, or degrade its performance. Also its interface suffers from not using common conventions, and thus confounds new users. I recommend replacing it with Clementine as it is more stable and has a friendlier interface, and is yet KDE native. 5: There has been some talk about replacing the YaST Printer module with a KDE one in userspace. Frankly I think this is a terrible idea as YaST is the only tool on any platform that has actually made configuration of the god-forsaken yet popular HP AllInOne devices simple.

I think Roger (generally) means that there needs to be more fine tuning before releases. At least in this sense, I agree. It's why I'm doing more testing myself. One simple solution to this is to make milestone release more prominent. Like posting an something like an advertisment on opensuse.org. I don't think pushing back a release is necessarily a good thing because people expect and prepare for a release on a certain date.

+1 on the fine tuning, esp. Samba was / is a mess on 11.4 from the DVD. Is AppArmor really the endall on Security? If there's a REAL commit from openSUSE to AppArmor, then the provided profiles should be tested to the extreme, to avoid a repest of the mess thst was the release of 11.4. Some of the systems I've installed would either run AppArmor OR Samba, but never ever both, no matter how up-to-date via update-repo. Most of the affected Systems where DVD installs. A few thoughts on the causes: - A clean DVD install is vastly different from a updated Factory system. - The defaults on KDE for a new user (no .local .config .kde* .pulse) are, well, lets be nice about: suboptimal for KDE SC 4.7, 4.6 was better. ( e.g Virtual Desktops [more than one, please], Activities [urgs, wait for 4.7.1 at least, before put that on default.] ) Even 11.2 was more "smooth" out of the box (DVD) than 11.4 was, we'll have to be carefull on what we present as defaults, because what will the press and the users experience the most: a clean install. Thus the defaults will make the most difference in just how 12.1 Milestones and final will be view from the outside. To think about in KDE: - Plasma defaults for a new user, (as said, 4.7.0 now is not good) - App. defaults for actions (insert of: CD, DVD, USB-Stick, USB-Camera, USB-Printer, ...) - App. defaults for file types (PDF, Text, Calc, Presentation, Images, Audio, Video) - How to handle the mess that is akonadi / nepomuk / vituoso / DB-Backend (mysql / posress / sqlite) ATM 12.1 M3 does NOT give openSUSE a image as good as it could be. How will the next Milestone be ? Better, smoother, I hope. Cheers, Yamaban.

For some odd reason a DVD install winds up being quite different from LiveCD. The intended difference is that the DVD has other languages and tons of software as well as other Desktop environments. The DVD advantage is mostly in that one doesn't have as much installing from online repo, and much less updates than the CD (initially after release anyway.)

I made no distinction between DVD and CD, as both are a fixed / burned images. More the difference between an a last Release updated to Factory and a clean install with just a media (CD / DVD). Press and interested users do most tests on a clean install from a burned media or image on a USB-stick. Tests on an updated prior release via distro upgrade are an other thing at all. But a well used system, say 11.2 with KDE SC 4.6.5 changed to Evergeen_11.2 and then a distro upgrade to 12.1 is a whole other beast. (No go in my opinon, maybe via Media, but not online) If you are on a 11.4, say with KDE 4.7 repo additional, then a online "distro upgrade" (zypper dup) should be possible, and resolvable. At best with no great breaks on the Desktop after reboot and login. Maybe such a update should include a automated backup of the $KDEHOME/share/config directory during the first login afterwards just to be on the save side. Just my 2 ct, Yamaban.

However, I downloaded the the oxygen-icons tarball of KDE 4.7.0 and the icons will change a bit again... Nevertheless, if you want back the old icons, I beg you to open a feature request on openFATE. After a short time perios, now I really like the new Icons (folder icon) that came with KDE 4.7. So now feature request from my side to get the old (KDE 4.6) icons back, sorry.
No problem, maybe I will open one, let´s see how the crowd accept the new icons ;-) cheers, -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I think it depends on *when* 4.7.1 is released. I don´t know how the release-plan of KDE is. All 6 months a new release and every month a bugfix? Then 4.7.1 should be the desired release. thanks -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
