NEWS - KDE ISO
2021-03-18 00:15 (by dev-andi)

Hi All,

Apologies for taking down the KDE ISO on the very first day it was uploaded. The reason being one missing package that was important for FACE-RECOGNITION to work.

I was able to successfully add the package, however, the builds were all faulty. I initially thought that it was my package that caused the build failure.

I did 6 consecutive builds, all of them failed. In each build, I removed the part that was modified before the addition of the package. No errors were found in my code or the package that I added to the list.

The installer was unpacking the entire OS to my ram. The buffer space ran out and caused "rsync code 11" to exit the installation. To blame Calamares at that point was the right decision that I couldn't take earlier because I was isolating the cause. It was not an EFI issue, neither the space issue. It was the snippet within the Calamares build.

Calamares released a new build, two days ago. Yep, that's the same day the build started crashing. I had to roll-back to 3.2.35.1 ( well I could have taken one step back in terms of release number, but just to be on the safer side, I rolled back to the previous month's release of Calamares )

The issue has been fixed. Tested thoroughly, to make sure that I don't miss any packages this time.

Thanks everyone for you patience. I will upload the file to OSDN later, for now, it's getting uploaded to SourceForge.
