Please help me test latest

ScarlettGatelyMoore commented 4 years ago

Here are the latest as of 2/9/2020 of desktop and core AMD64. I need help testing please. ARM is getting close, all the builds are now fixed, working out issues with IMG build.

Desktop: https://dci.netrunner.com/view/1.%20Netrunner%20Desktop/view/20.01%20Netrunner%20Desktop/view/Image/job/img_desktop_netrunner-desktop_2001_amd64/72/s3/download/netrunner-20200209.0506-amd64.hybrid.iso

Boot in VBox:

grub
some intel sound warnings
netrunner logo briefly
return to text mode
desktop

The whole boot took .. 15 seconds? Faster than I can type steps, anyway, which is pretty darn impressive.

Visuals (personal taste)

not convinced about the red cursor theme with this reddish background
the gradient on a selected desktop icon looks a bit odd

Visuals

I have the vbox screen set to 1216 x 933, so the dashboard (? -- the thing that comes up when you click the lower-left netrunner logo) is slightly too big; I guess it expects 1280 width minimum. It's really quick though.

Installation:

Calamares 3.2.4 is pretty darn old
Korean is an available language for the installer, but no Korean fonts are installed
The "welcome" page graphic is getting pretty long-in-the-tooth as well, isn't there a new-ish Netrunner logo to put there? (this is kind of "visuals (personal taste)" though)
Is the slideshow Plasma screenshot up-to-date?
- I picked "erase disk" and all went well in one go.

Installation

One last thing: on the welcome page you can link to the distro, to release notes, to support forums. Is there no interest to configure Calamares to show that? Recent Calamares also have a Donate button (for the distro, or whatever).

Post-install

(After reboot, logging in, changing VBox to full-screen)

Python2? Keep in mind this is EOL'ed
I ran the "Calamares dev-environment deployer" and that got almost all of the required devel packages (any it missed is on me, not on this ISO).
KDevelop 5.3 is the "current" version, but that is over a year old. (Interestingly, after installing that old KDevelop 5.3, some plasma development things were dragged in to the system so more of Calamares could be built)
(visuals, personal taste) The dashed line highlight for combo-boxes and buttons looks quite unusual.

So it looks solid (but dated -- that's probably because Debian) from my (very developer-centric) perspective.

Thx for testing. Old versions is indeed because of Debian stable base. As for artwork. The red cursor should increase contrast afaik. I don't think we have much saying in this. Clemens chooses the artwork and usually we roll with it then. There is also someone designing the wallpaper

Artwork is fine (of course its all subjective). As for old packages, this is based on stable for that very reason, so its fine we stick with Plasma 5.14., python, and whatever Debian puts into their release at that point.

Its the very contrast to what we had with Rolling before Manjaro collaboration. :)

But it secures longlivety of all potential hw based products, like odroid c1 img, zerobox img, which as enduser products need stability over all. On Feb 9, 2020 23:08, "Leszek Lesner" notifications@github.com wrote:
