Comments on: Blue Systems, the Muon Suite, and Kubuntu http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/blue-systems-the-muon-suite-and-kubuntu/ My blog about Kubuntu and KDE-ish things Mon, 20 May 2013 12:49:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: JanC http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/blue-systems-the-muon-suite-and-kubuntu/#comment-3904 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 23:10:20 +0000 http://jontheechidna.wordpress.com/?p=506#comment-3904 Install the ‘unattended-upgrades’ package and see ‘/usr/share/doc/unattended-upgrades/README’ for how to configure it.

If it isn’t there already, it would probably be good if this could be configured using Muon and/or some configuration tool in Kubuntu. (I’m not a Kubuntu user.)

Maybe the paid applications/USC part could be a plug-in so that the application can still be used on non ubuntu based distros

Glad you’ll have funding for all the great work you’re doing on Kubuntu and have been doing for many years now. Also I’m glad you’ve stepped up to the task of a good package management library and UI for KDE — this has been a constant problem with many half-baked solutions for a decade.

Like it’s good to have KDE on Microsoft Windows – they might be ‘hostile platforms’ (neither company is too fond of KDE and open communities) but they have lots of users and we need to be where the users are.

Although from a Freedom perspective I’d say it would be bad if the best KDE experience would be on a less-than-fully-open platform. If KDE apps would work better on Windows or Ubuntu than on Debian, Fedora, Arch or openSUSE that would entice users to stay on such platforms. And that is not good for Free Software. But for now that’s not the case, and at least most of what Blue Systems supports gets back to KDE (benefiting ALL platforms) so all power to them.

I especially appreciate the attention to detail I hope/expect to see from people paid to work on these things. It is something long missing in KDE – attention to the last mile, so to say.

That is something I really miss. I have installed KDE on several machines for friends. But nobody ever really cares for the updates. Which is something I can understand since it is done in Windows automatically. The problem I guess is that APT sometimes wants to remove important packages, so a manual check is required. If somehow the updates would only work if the updates do not require to remove (important) packages that would be a huge step forward.

Less than 1 percent of the code in Muon is python, there are just a few bits here and there to interact with the release upgrade code and update notification code from Kubuntu.

I must say that the future of Kubuntu is brighter than ever. Combined with the (hopefully) newfound stability with Qt, I’m a very happy Kubuntu user.
