Bug ID: 388044
Summary: Renku 0.4.1 is unusable on KDE Neon due to lack of
setup/documentation
Product: zanshin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: er...@kde.org
Reporter: ironst...@gmail.com
CC: mbe...@ipsquad.net
Target Milestone: already done
Renku installs and starts on KDE Neon, however it is completely unusable
because it seems to require a storage/resource backend or something that does
not exist on a default install (akonadi? ldap?).
The app sits there looking pretty, if you click "New item" it tells you to type
something in the box and hit enter to create an item. When the user does this
nothing happens, the item is not created, there is no error message, the
textbox is just cleared to indicate the input was accepted and seemingly just
discarded.
There's a Settings->Configure Renku screen that seems to suggest a resource
might be required to act as backend storage, but there's no information on what
RESOURCE or what format is expected in the "Add resource" field.
Requiring users to have developer knowledge of Renku in order to get it to work
is a surefire reason why nobody is going to use it no matter how cool it is.
Here's the output to the console while running Renku:
helix:~$ renku
