MX-23_KDE alpha2 feedback thread

[AlphaElwedritsch]

Hi there
It's my first post, so firstly let's say hello community :)

Is it possible to get plasma 5.27 also running in wildflower right now, or only with using alpha?

thx

You should ask this as a separate question on the forum, as it isn't MX23_KDE alpha2 feedback

I don't think it is possible to run plasma 5.27 atop debian bullseye nor MX21. It is possible though to run 5.24 LTS or 5.25 using a third-party repository, see instructions here.

If you have further questions, please post them on the relevant thread, not this one here which is dedicated to providing feedback to the MX23 alpha KDE edition (based on debian bokworm which should be released in june)

yes, i found it and installed it. Now its works. Thanks.

I did it also
Logged in. configured to sync storage. answered with yes to integrate it in filemanager.
But where is it? Cannot find any NC folder

[AlphaElwedritsch]

This KDE online access and the Nextcloud integration is actually nothing more than a WebDav connection being displayed in Dolphin.
But you can also do this directly in Dolphin.
It is also a pure WebDav drive. No data is synced.
If you want to be able to use the NC data offline, you need the NC Client.

Fresh bare-metal install. After install, did a complete update. Attempted to run KDE Partition Manager and got the following:

Incorrect password or command failed. Try again? (y/N)

Accepting the default, of course, closes the window.
Choosing "y" repeats the above.

The password is not incorrect.

FYI - This also happened in MX-Live. Had to manually install gparted to partition the installation drive for testing.

In event it's significant, the QSI

You need to remove partitionmanager-modified-launcher, we removed from the build script and actually from the repo too.

Yep - that did it.

For my future reference, did I miss that note somewhere? If I know where to look, I can look before I post!

[Adrian]

Nope, you didn't miss anything, I didn't post that change.
