If someone wants to look a this, apparently here is the code that does the magic in nm-applet

I replied to the ubuntu-devel list but its held in moderation queue currently. If a list moderator is known and can be poked that might help.

Judging by recent conversations on the ubuntu-devel list, it's quite possible this will get implemented without us.

As pointed out above we have a start to a welcome center in rWELCOME . It should now compile and run. In addition all of the buttons that are there actually work (they do something that seems appropriate). There is still some work to be done however IMO.

1. Theming could be enhanced a bit (maybe quite a bit?).
2. Add buttons for:
   1. Donate
   2. Software -Discover, Muon, something.
   3. Bug reporting.
3. Debian Packaging.
4. Currently the release version is hardcoded, it should probably pull from /etc/os-release or something.
5. Autostart / disabling autostart needs code, there is an incomplete commented section.

We've entered uncharted territory for my skills so help is appreciated/requested.

This portion looks ok to me but I would really like @tsimonq2 and @wxl to weigh in.

for documentation purposes, I already did the modifications and is in a pull request waiting for review and aproval to be merged https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt/pull/1043

For Calamares-settings-cinnamon-remix better to just for now include it as a runtime depends

Someone GTM Thanks!

@kc2bez LGTM

I'm more than happy to wait, but I'm curious to hear your rationale for why we can't do this new upstream release and cherry-pick the patch.

The difference here is that these are build dependencies, not runtime dependencies for the Calamares package. If Calamares needs these QML packages regardless of the slideshow format, we should absolutely include them.

If not, maybe #ubuntu_developer is the better project to track this task.

We need to hold on this. There is a typo in the grubcfg module which has landed in master but not in this release. https://github.com/calamares/calamares/compare/28141661da71...1a13704c71dd There should be no harm in waiting from what I can see.

@tsimonq2 @guiverc @The_LoudSpeaker Please review my updated note, especially the watermark section.

@kc2bez @guiverc count me in of you need any help.

Thanks!

Any chance we could move forward on this before people go AFK for winter VAC?

Thanks Dan!
