OMLx 4.0 Post Alpha1 improvements

Testing build 2377 for two days by now.
Found the following:

  • Calamares failed to remove the unneeded translations during the post-install stage. The window with the error description was so huge I had to hold Alt and drag it many times upside. Not critical, as the system actually got installed correctly.
  • The Install the System shortcut remained on the desktop even after installation (minor annoyance)
  • Any Qt5-based app fails to start and fires up the KCrash dialog once you add the global menubar panel on the desktop. Seems like it is critical.
  • Akonadi 18.12 is broken on OMV 4.0 By default it even cannot start (akonadictl start), but once I did “cp /etc/akonadi/*.conf ~/.config/akonadi” it could start with success. However, it is still impossible to set up an IMAP account in KMail (such as Google mail), because akonadi_imap_resource instantly crashes after you try to proceed in getting an API token from Google. Sadly, it is unusable.
  • I could not set up my NOPASSWD:ALL for sudo. I uncommented the appropriate line in the sudoers file and added myself to the wheel group. Logged out and back in, but sudo still asked me for root password.

What’s good:

  • UEFI installation is seamless and beautiful (apart from that little post-install bug)
  • DNF Dragora works like a charm (why it is not installed by default, btw?)
