Call for 20.04 testers

Dunno why I didn't post this when riddel called for testing.

[oshunluvr]

I just saw it today on IRC

[claydoh]

It was the beginning of July
I upgraded that day...didn't bother to report here for some reason

As noted by my posts on the Neon forum, the upgrade seems to leave behind an old file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ that mucks with deps, and removes things such as the network manager widget, among other software.
May not be fixed yet.

I guess I've been a "tester" for about week. Didn't think it was worth mentioning:

I also managed to install NWN and Icewind Dale II in Lutris, so I guess the AMD graphics stack is fine

So, where do I go from here:

https://files.kde.org/neon/images/focal-preview/

Testing or User?

Cheers

User, which uses official Plasma release versions. Unless you want to run Plasma in a Beta state all the time.

Cheers! Been wanting to try out newer Plasma versions. IT's no biggie if I mess up my PC, I can always reinstall...

Hi. I upgraded to 20.04 some weeks back. How do I get to downgrade to the User edition or is it a new install?
I followed the instructions found here: https://github.com/tiguchi/kde-neon-downgrade
How do I check whether I am actually using 'user' and not 'testing' ?

Assuming that the script actually works , and that you followed the instructions exactly (editing your sources.list), I am going to say it may not have completely done its job, as it did not revert the files that identify the Description as 'Testing"

Look at Kinfocenter and see what Plasma version you have. If it ends in something like 90 0r 99 or something like that, it is still using Testing packages. If it reports 5.19.4, the current Plasma version, then you probably are all set.

The package called base-files provides the files that set this info read by lsb-release, but it seems to have the same exact versioning in both User and Testing as far as I can tell. You might try re-installing this package, and see if it changes the output of the lsb_release command.



I have not seen mention of this script anywhere I lurk, and it is from 2019, with no updates since then, or any reported issues.

Personally, I would not use it as it mentions using apt-get. While this is usually OK to use, it does seem to indicate a slight bit less knowledge from its author.

I suppose everyone and his dog is downloading the new image, it's taking ages here ��
