Awesome! Thanks for the great docs page, I’m looking to help and this is making it easy.

Thanks for doing all this work, it is really cool to have this and be able to fool around with the COSMIC desktop. Thanks!

Do you have instructions for Silverblue install now Cosmic is in the main repository? I tried rpm-ostree install cosmic-desktop-environment but no joy. rpm-ostree search cosmic doesn’t return a desktop install option either. I don’t think rpm-ostree supports grouped installs, does it? So it might be helpful to have code to copy that does an rpm-ostree layered install of all the packages needed.

I had Cosmic installed for Alpha 1 - 3 but a nightly from 3 broke things and so I rolled back to uninstall Cosmic, but now it seems installation from repository would be better than the old update to /etc/yum.repros.d method.

I know I can use the ublue Cosmic but I don’t want to lose all the Gnome Setup and installs I already have, which I would do in a rebase.

Thanks!

Ok, I solved this by simply installing all the cosmic-* dependencies found by rpm-ostree search cosmic. To help others, here is the (long) command to cut and paste:

rpm-ostree install cosmic-app-library cosmic-applets cosmic-bg cosmic-comp cosmic-config-fedora cosmic-edit cosmic-files cosmic-greeter cosmic-icon-theme cosmic-idle cosmic-launcher cosmic-notifications cosmic-osd cosmic-panel cosmic-screenshot cosmic-session cosmic-settings cosmic-settings-daemon cosmic-store cosmic-store cosmic-term cosmic-workspaces initial-setup-gui-wayland-cosmic xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic

There could be something missing, but it appears to work!

Hi @ryanabx ,
I’m seeing the following error when updating via DNF

Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package cosmic-session-1.0.0~alpha.3^git20241122.53237d1-1.fc40.x86_64
  - nothing provides cosmic-idle >= 1.0.0~alpha.4 needed by cosmic-session-1.0.0~alpha.4^git20241206.78316ba-1.fc40.x86_64 from copr:cop
r.fedorainfracloud.org:ryanabx:cosmic-epoch

Looks like cosmic-idle is being tag as alpha.3 but with the alpha.4 commit

Would you mind taking a look when you have a minute

Thanks,
Jagg2

If this is not the correct place to submit this please let me know.

Hi, are you still seeing this issue? My copr has built alpha 4 packages for Fedora 40, so I don’t know what’s going on.

Yes, still seeing this error from DNF.
Looking under packages I can see cosmic-idle last build version is 1.0.0~alpha.3^git20241115.eaa09a6-1
eaa09a6 is the latest commit and the one tagged epoch-1.0.0-alpha.4

From what I’m seeing I think DNF uses the tag in the build name to determine dependencies.

I’m not to familiar with he copr build system. So everything out side of what I see is a guess.

Hey @ryanabx,
Just went to do an update this morning and I can see cosmic-idle was in the install list.
Looks like it was rebuilt with the alpha.4 tag.
Everything in now working.
Thanks,

Hey, would you mind adding CentOS Stream 10 to the build distros? Would be curious to try COSMIC on there, maybe on HeliumOS too

Sorry to put this here, but I’m having a hard time locating where I can file bugs for the fedora cosmic spin.
I do not have usb keyboard/mouse support unless I install kde plasma as well while using Fedora 42 rc7

It seems to work fine under their pop os, and the fact that installing kde plasma immediately makes the keyboard/mouse work upon reboot would seem to imply there is a packaging issue.

“I went ahead and installed from the beta 42 cosmic spin, which was rc3 - and had no external keyboard/mouse. upgraded to rc7 and still had no external keyboard/mouse. Once I added KDE Plasma per “dnf group install kde-desktop-environment” and rebooted I had a functioning external keyboard/mouse.”
For reference my setup is a framework laptop, plugged into a dell usb c dock, and a keyboard/mouse plugged into that.

Where can I properly document this?

Hi @ryanabx . Thanks very much for putting this together. I have issues when i install this and run it on a 5k2k display. The maximum supported resolution for that screen seems to be only 4k2k (have tried running on 1 screen alone). The 5k2k option shows up, but the system doesn’t apply it, because of which it either stretches the actual resolution.

Is this something that can be fixed please?

Regards
Gurvesh
