Current status of Fedora Kinoite (official & unofficial builds)

[Siosm (Timothée Ravier)]

Fedora Kinoite will probably be available on the Fedora Spins page alongside the Fedora KDE Spin first.

@Siosm

I’ve been trying to use some of the themes for KDE from the “Global Theme” and the window decorations do not seem to work properly. When I apply a theme that isn’t Breeze none of the buttons or title/menu show up.

I tried Plastik (default) and installed some dark themes from discover but none of them work.

Any suggestions?

[Siosm (Timothée Ravier)]

Hey @richardgiesige

I’ve tried installing some themes and changing window decoration and that worked for me so I would need more details to be able to figure out the issue. Feel free to open a ticket in the KDE SIG tracker with as much details as possible: Issues - fedora-kde/SIG - Pagure.io

Some themes are failing to install probably because they try to write to /usr

[omlet1241 (telmo bruno silva seabra)]

Is it possible to create a symbolic link to /var?

[richardgiesige]

When I try to login to report my issue to fedora-kde/SIG it gives me a error “Strange State”.

Here is what my Kinoite build looks like when I applied the Plastik Window Decoration.

Link to my picture since I can’t upload.

[Siosm (Timothée Ravier)]

What do you want to link exactly? What’s not working? I don’t understand.

[Siosm (Timothée Ravier)]

This looks a lot like a hardware / driver / rendering issue. Could you try to reproduce it in a Fedora KDE Spin LiveCD? This should then probably be reported in the Fedora BugZilla.

[richardgiesige]

Thanks for the suggestion about testing on the Spin LiveCD. I also have the same problem there. I’ll open a Fedora BugZilla ticket. I’m running a Dell XPS 13 from late 2016 or so.

I have a UHD screen 16:9 on this computer with and it looks like the problem happens when I go to 200% on the Display settings.

Kinoite, a KDE (and now XFCE) version of Fedora Silverblue

And the latest update is broken due to the podman broken update: [BUG] toolbox broken after 2:3.2.0-0.1.rc1.fc34 update · Issue #166 · fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker · GitHub Workaround: $ rpm-ostree override replace https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/podman/3.1.2/1.fc34/x86_64/podman-3.1.2-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/podman/3.1.2/1.fc34/x86_64/podman-plugins-3.1.2-1.fc34.x86_64.rpm $ rpm-ostree ex apply-live --allow-replacement # or reboot

[kuba3351 (Jakub Sierżęga)]

I seen that there is a fedora:fedora/rawhide/x86_64/kinoite branch in a official fedora repository, and tried to rebase into it, and it worked well. So, we have an official build available

[kuba3351 (Jakub Sierżęga)]

I also rebased to official Kinoite build on device used in work and found the following issues:

• I had to layer plasma-nm-vpnc to be able to connect to my corporate vpn. I think packages necesary for connecting to most types of vpn should be in compose, Fedora Silverblue have it
• Firefox included in the build not applying dark theme when it is set in plasma settings

edit: Intresting thing is that dark theme in firefox is applied well while running firefox from flatpak in Fedora flatpak repository

Kinoite, a KDE (and now XFCE) version of Fedora Silverblue

Fedora Kinoite is now available in the official mirror for the Rawhide branch! Please move all new discussions related to Fedora Kinoite only to the new Kinoite category in the forum! As I will now focus a lot more on fixing Fedora Kinoite specific issues, I will stop building unofficial Rawhide branches soon. I will keep building stable & branched versions for the other variants but can not promise doing that longer than one or two release cycles. Feel free to reach out if you’re inte…

How to test Fedora Kinoite

Fedora Kinoite is now available in the Fedora ostree repository! Currently, only the rawhide branch is available, pending the 35 stable release. To give it a try, you have several options: Installing from scratch: Go to Fedora nightly compose finder and look for the Kinoite dvd-ostree installer ISO for your architecture. Install Kinoite like you would install Fedora Silverblue or Fedora Workstation. See specific gotchas in Installing Kinoite :: Fedora Docs. Updating from an exist…
