First, minimal test ISO is uploaded for the April stable ISO release.
Change is the move to IWD as the default wireless daemon, wpa_suppliocant is no longer in use
New is also KDE Applications 22.04RC (22.04.0 final will be released, in time to be included in the final ISO).
Calamares has now 2 options to view during the install phase, regular/default view is still the slideshow, tab added to view the log of the running install.
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.
Plan is to have Frameworks 5.93.0, KDE Applications 22.04.0, Plasma 5.24.4 and Linux 5.17.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 repo 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.
