Updated ISO’s in first post. (2021-04-11)

Also need to report that the public release of Rolling is once again delayed. The latest problem is issues with our main QA tool. People are working on this.

Those of us in the contributor group are learning that these delays are part of how things transpire in an all volunteer organization where every contributor is part-time and unpaid. When one key person has a day job emergency or family event, ect. things get delayed. There just are not any paid employee’s to tell get <some_function> done by <some_time>.

It is worth mentioning that folks in the contributor group have been using Rolling since release of OM Lx 4.0. It is well working and has been stable for us. So users are certainly welcome to use this and by so doing you will be helping us test. The more testers on more varied hardware the better.

Latest rolling ISOs (also OMLx 4.3 RC candidate):

Plasma rolling x86_64
Plasma rolling znver1

i’m using OMV 4.3 RC
on configs systems KDE , see to have
1 - config for firewall on activation ( missing & blocking )
2 - lock ou no reponse on Screen ( compositor or night color )

3 - see for option backlight on boot kernel ?

Don’t know if this is what you mean:

ERROR: ‘python-nftables’ failed (firewalld)

If it is please confirm the bug report. I need someone to confirm this. As noted in the report this issue applies to cooker, rolling, and OM Lx 4.3 RC.

Again not sure what you mean here. The Night Color function is disabled by default because so many people complained about it. There is an entry in system tray for this. And there is this in SystemSettings:

Notice that “Night Color Temperature” is set all the way to the left on “Warm”. On most computers that will appear very orange or red. Somewhere in the middle would be better for most folks I suspect.

What is option for backlight on boot kernel?

i was thinking about this
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.12/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

acpi_backlight= [HW,ACPI]
{ vendor | video | native | none }
If set to vendor, prefer vendor-specific driver
(e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
of the ACPI video.ko driver.
If set to video, use the ACPI video.ko driver.
If set to native, use the device’s native backlight mode.
If set to none, disable the ACPI backlight interface.

That looks like it needs a bug report.
