Not sure about the translation files, I think those typically get dropped from packaging.

More curious data: Fresh install, since it might not have any snaps installed, systemctl status snapd returns the following (inactive): https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/z5F8bZ24yM/
Immediately after installing the core snap, it returns that is now active - perhaps that's why we can start applications from the terminal.

Then comes the next question: if it does, how the heck do we seed a snap or make it a meta depend?????????????

@kc2bez do you mean this core snap?

I believe I know why a logout/login is necessary for Lubuntu and not Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes installed with snaps, in particular, the core snap. After that is installed you don't have to logout/login to have snaps show in the menu.

I am confused. Are you indicating that snaps that you install do not show in the menu? The ones I have installed do show up. I can also drag them to the quick launch on the panel.

I agree, this looks much better. Now you get to upload it too ;)

Appreciate the double check here @tsimonq2 @wxl At first glance this looks ok as all of the removes seem to be for i386 but my that is a bunch.

I have tested this from unstable-ci and it works as intended, I think we should add this to default settings so that it is set by default.

This seems like it would be a nice enhancement to the fantastic manual we already have. I would be willing to help with this project as time permits. I know AntiX / MX linux has a fair bit for video content that Dolphin Oracle put together. It seems to be a well utilized resource for them. I don't think there are too many other distros that have as much content as they do. I think like the current manual this could be something that could evolve over time, continually improving on the last iteration so I don't think we should focus too much about the initial quality.

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.

@kc2bez Are we affected by this?
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.

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

I have a start on the wallpaper communication. It could probably use a little jazzing up but the basics are there. https://notes.lubuntu.me/s/BJHO4tOnS#

@kc2bez @guiverc If y'all are interested in running another wallpaper contest, say so. :)

Am I missing something here? I don't see what this is going to install other than an icon.

New wallpaper is in. Thanks @tsimonq2

@tsimonq2 You had mentioned you would finish this up so i am reassigning this to you. Please let me know if there is something else you need from me.

I will bump this to 20.04. We are waiting on an upstream fix for this ultimately (2 of them actually, one for Cala to run firefox as the user and one for LXQt to respect proper .desktop menu items). I also lowered the priority it isn't a showstopper that we have two menu items just somewhat annoying.

A bug in Calamares has been reported by at least 2 individuals. @guiverc and I were unable to reproduce. I am in America, New York, quite possible the worst location for testing since it is the default. However Chris is not in the default zone and was able to get the proper one automatically. It would be appreciated if some other folks could test for this bug in other time zones.

(it'd read better if we edited the wallpaper competition winner's letter, but should or do we want to do that???)

Reduce image size to test.

Add default wallpaper only to test.

Remove boat image, it is too large.

Reduce image file sizes.

Try to upload wallpapers again.

Counting down in C4

When I created D47 it doesn't look like the wallpapers actually got pushed. I created P46 and added some comments there too.

Sure. I can do that. by when it needs to be done? before beta release or before final release?

I changed the permissions and got the same result.

Fix file permissions on wallpapers.

Looking at the above, I wonder if it isn't a permissions issue...

Here is a ls of the folder.

I wondered about the file size restrictions too but there are two of them that are the same size as the existing wallpapers.

I got this when I did an arc diff for D47

As a note I received the following error on arc diff P46

Thanks for adding the doc strings, it is appreciated. The variable renaming makes more sense too.
