@ben79 Screenshot please :slight_smile: Well hard to guess about which icon and where it is, you are talking about.

BTW. Plasma 5.10.5 is updated and waiting for your testing.

102

Plasma 5.10.5 looks good here.

Does Plasma Wayland works for you ?

104

Plasma Wayland doesn’t work here. I just got a black screen with a mouse pointer in the middle - nothing else.

105

@TPG as far as can tell I was wrong about the icon. Sorry about that. If I do see what I thought I saw with one of the newer ISO’s I’ll get a screen-shot and post it here.

I see that we have today 2 new ISO’s here.
They are 1419 and 1420. My question is what is the difference between them?

106

Version 1420 contains a fixed workaround I requested for restore compatibility with Easy2Boot:

107

Thanks. That isn’t something that will affect most users is it?

Edit: Or I mean we’re hoping it doesn’t affect most users?

108

IMHO that workaround may be dropped out however now is not the right timed because of the upcoming next release so the fix made by TGP is the best solution. The answer to your question is it could regardless I think it should not bring new problems because partition other than the first is rarely used by installation media, and Easy2Boot is an exception case. This change is only related to the install or live mode and theoretically may affect only install phase or live phase if the system can not detect the partition on with the SO is stored. So it should be tested before the next official release. Finally I guess this hack may be the cause why tools other than official, as such as tools UNetbootin, fail with omdv ISOs (but this point should be investigate more accurately).

109

Same here. Attempt to log in to Plasma Wayland gets black screen with mouse cursor.

FWIW: Installed ISO 1420 in VirtualBox. One thing I notice not working is Autologin. Even after updating and rebooting Autologin still does not work. Then I make sure and set Autologin in SystemSettings5, and that it is in fact set in ‘/etc/sddm.conf’. Still autologin not working. Wonder if this works with ISO 1419?

Let me know if we need a bug report on this.

111

OK @TPG, found it, this happened with ISO’s 1403 and 1419 in VirtualBox. First screen shot shows menu panel with default application launcher with OMV button or icon.

Then in second screen shot I have switched to the vastly better app launcher (think it’s called kickoff) that I prefer and omv button or icon disappears. I right click on it to select ‘Application Launcher Settings’ to go search for a replacement and I can’t find it anywhere in the ‘Select Icon’ window. Maybe I’m not looking in correct location? I look in ‘Applications’, ‘Places’, and ‘Other icons’.

Of course I’ll file a bug report it that is desired.

So for the sake of description and identification can we call this the “Easy2Boot” or E2B fix? And note that ISO 1420 is the E2B ISO?

This is 1420 live and 1419 installed in virtualbox. Everything looks like as expected here.

/usr/share/icons/openmandriva.svg
althought we noticed in the past that manually setting the icon launcher this way may show it a bit more ugly than the default way.

FWIW, while in argument of launcher I noticed the following:

  1. kicker default launcher got a regression where it currently shows apps as “Description (Name)” and not as “Name (Description)” or “Name only”
  2. menu is flattened to a single level (regression as well)

The two both can be easily reverted in Application Menu Settings, however this is not the desired default behaviour.
I suppose the file involved is /usr/share/plasma/layout-templates/org.openmandriva.plasma.desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js

// launcher.writeConfig("limitDepth", true)
launcher.writeConfig("limitDepth", false)

.

// launcher.writeConfig("appNameFormat", "3")
launcher.writeConfig("appNameFormat", "0")
  1. When the users remove/add apps from/to Favorites, in case of switching to a different launcher every time they are presented the default configuration so they have to repeat favorites customization again.

If the fix works it will be definitive in all ISO.

I’m building new ISOs.

When we are about to release 3.03 ? 2017-09-22 sounds good for you ?

I don’t know if this is a big issue, for me it isn’t. There is an easy work-around. In KDE Menu Editor>Other Icons select Browse and pull the desired icon from file system in /usr/share/icons.

First point: The icon doesn’t disappear unless I change the application launcher from kicker to kickoff. And this only happens sometimes which is, um, odd.

Second point: The icon is in ‘/usr/share/icons/’ but does not show up in KDE menu editor. Maybe a problem because it is a .svg icon? Any way this makes it not so simple for a user to re-add the icon if they prefer kickoff instead of kicker. This is the case on installed, fully updated, systems for me.

Third point: So the issue is that for some reason ‘openmandriva.svg’ doesn’t show up in ‘Kde Menu Editor’ under ‘Other icons’. That is odd because .svg icons do show up for instance under ‘System Icons>Actions’.

Edit: If I copy the icon to ‘/usr/share/icons/breeze/apps/48/’ then it will show up in Kde Menu Editor ‘System Icons>Applications’. This is just bizarre. Wonder why the icon won’t show in ‘Other Icons’?

Ben, I’m afraid that I don’t understand what you mean

Postedit:
For testing, I set for the launcher the other svg icon present in /usr/share/icons (and added some random apps icons near it in the panel).
