Beta 1 this week so I gave the Kubuntu Plasma 5 ISO a quick test.
Good news is it runs and installs successfully. Well done on Rohan
and others for getting it all together. Some issues I found...
Firefox is not in the appmenu, presumably needs kickoff patched, I wonder how this fits in with our patch policy
GTK 2 themes are not set up by default, needs gtk2-qtcurve installed and .gtk-2.0 file added
Similarly GTK 3 themes are not set by default, I don't think there is gtk3-qtcurve so not sure what to do here
Desktop is missing an Install icon
kded5 goes 100% CPU before too long, this happened on the live image and the install
ubiquity slideshow says 14.04
No plymouth theme, either on live system or install
After install autologin is not set even if you tick the box in Ubiquity
By default KDElibs 4 apps do not get colours or icons set, this changes if you fiddle with widget style in systemsettings
By default KF5 apps do not get colours set right, also changes if you fiddle with widget style
There is no kscreen (I just uploaded scarlett's package so it should get fixed for tomorrow)
There is no print-manager (upstream problem, porters welcome)
khelpcentre misses any themeing, must be looking in the wrong place for the images
phonon kcm misses icons for audio devices
power management kcm says Power Management Service is not running, although the Plasma widget shows all the normal power management stuff fine
No SDDM KCM, I think Netrunner has packages for this so we can grab theirs
Default SDDM theme used by default on install even though breeze package is installed
kubuntu-driver-manager not the Qt5 version
software-properties not the Qt5 version
muon lacks a bunch of software, I searched for Umbrello and it couldn't find it.
usb-creator-kde not the Qt5 version
libreoffice has its default theme even thought the libreoffice-oxygen package is installed
gtk style -> get new themes is broken
redrawing windows is not at all smooth, flickers lots
