###COMMON ISSUES### Calamares - Encryption is broken. Could we go with FDE and decrypt via GRUB2? It seems to be using GRUB to decrypt, but upon booting asks for password to mount /dev/mapper/luks-XXXXX which doesn't exist?
Still using GRUB 2.02 BETA3. Is there a reason we have not moved to 2.02 stable? ###WISH LIST ITEMS### 4.17 kernel in Repository is missing options: Device Drivers > Graphics Support > Display Engine Configuration > [ ] DC support for Polaris and older ASICs [ ] AMD FBC - Enable Frame Buffer Compression [ ] DCN 1.0 Raven family IS it possible to have 2 kernels in the ISO. Stable LTS being the default, but the most recent one Hidden in the options for people with extremely new hardware? Unified Icons? Can we come up with a set of icons that are the same for every spin? Unified LightDM with Slick Greeter? Keeping the same DM across the spins. /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf [Greeter] background=/usr/share/backgrounds/sabayonlinux.png theme-name=Adwaita icon-them-name=(unified icon theme?) Preferably need Graphic Designer with better skills than myself for new Wallpaper and Calamares design. I like my wallpaper, but it looks bad on 4:3 monitors which never occurred to me. Probably should have made something that could fit all ranges from Mobile to desktop ratios. Also probably color schemes that are similar across all spins. Not really a requirement right now, just a wishlist item :) MATE Screensaver seems barren. Screensavers are terrible. Import xscreensavers? requires xscreensaver installed and custom .desktop files pointing to xscreensaver files, but possible. e.g. /usr/share/applications/screensavers/hextstrut.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=hexstrut Exec=/usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/hexstrut -root TryExec=/usr/lib64/misc/xscreensaver/hexstrut StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Screensaver; OnlyShowIn=MATE; Then they show up natively in the MATE screensaver control panel. ###GNOME ISSUES### VLC, Totem, and MPV? Too many or OK? Bloated or fine? GDM depends on brltty and should NOT. (if we don't ditch GDM) brltty is known to hijack USB to Serial adapters. Anyone performing work on networking gear requiring the ability to console in will find they cannot because brltty hijacks the device. uninstalling brltty also removes GDM which leaves you without a display manager. Just need to break off the dependency. Why does so much stuff think it requires brltty?

Gnome apparently uses GDM also for screen locking. xscreensaver still works, just need to add xscreensaver to autostart by default /etc/xdg/autostart/xscreensaver.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Screensaver Comment=Launch screensaver and locker program Icon=preferences-desktop-screensaver Exec=xscreensaver TryExec=xscreensaver also edit ~/.config/dconf/user database in /etc/skel to make super+L trigger xscreenlocker-command -lock to lock the screen. edit skel file for ~/.xscreensaver captureStderr: True should be "False" to avoid random complaints of missing fonts. ###XFCE ISSUES### VLC AND Totem? Are we OK with having both or does that seem bloated? ###MATE ISSUES### VLC AND MPV? Are we OK with having both or does that seem bloated? ###KDE ISSUES### LightDM + Slick Greeter? One DM to rule them all?
