First, minimal test ISO is uploaded for the February stable ISO release. Plan is to still release in about 10 days.
As always, early test ISOs are minimal, very few apps, just a web-browser, file manager, text editor, GUI package manager. The non-free nvidia drivers are included since they are a big part of what needs testing. New features in the installer and Croeso need testing (package selection options). Also. it will be good to get feedback on the new theming. First test show SDDM in vbox is displaying way too dark....
Plan is to have Frameworks 5.67.0, KDE Applications 19.12.2, Plasma 5.18.x and Linux 5.5.x on the final ISO.
The ISO is using packages from the build repo, but that repo is not enabled, so if you decide to install, make sure to add the build epo to your pacman.conf.
Debug packages for Calamares are part of all ISOs, run Calamares with gdb if you encounter errors.
provide the installation log, if you encounter any issue at all
You can start Calamares from the Welcome app, or run it with:
sudo calamares -d
The install log will be created in the home directory of the Live user, see ~/installation.log
. It is available after the install in the target system in /var/log/installation.log
If run from cli, make sure to pastebin the full output, since no installation.log will be copied then, though that log is more complete.
