The version of Firefox-plasma is 62.

Should I now consider that the plasmazilla respository is dead and move toward firefox instead ?
Same thing for thunderbird-plasma, is it more convenient now to move to thunderbird  ?
Many thanks for your suggestions.

I started with a Debian based distro, but through Maui I found that I like ubuntu based distros better. I also appreciate the LTS base of Ubuntu. Otherwise, I would just consider Netrunner. Is there any chance that Maui will be revived?]]>

"Installing from a fresh Neon ISO" might work, if I can correctly back up a home folder.  Last time I tried that, I borked a machine, and still haven't found the time to fix that one.

So, might there exist some way to have Maui upgrade itself to Bionic Beaver-based Neon?

Mac OS X somehow manages to upgrade between major versions without making an ugly mess, or knowing unix-fu.  JMO, but this is one area desktop flavors of Linux could use some work.]]>

I am forced to use Skype as legacy application, but after installing Skype starts and by "Register by Microsoft" enters in an infinite loop. I did try several versions and it is always the same. The gnome keyring daemon is running.

Where is the trick?

Thanks!

since some days i get always an empty list of apps when i click on the "M" in the KDE Panel at the bottom of my screen. I configured for that the Full Screen Modus. I'm used to see the list of the last and frequently used apps there. The list of the last used documents is also empty. Is this a feature or a bug. If it's bug how can I fix this behaviour?

Hi all,

Before I write the steps I want to give leszek a big shoutout and thanks for all that you've done for the Maui community. leszek doesn't know who I am but I know who he is due to seeing him all over the place in the linux community. I was a longtime user of his ZevenOS BEos lookalike (MAGI2, Encode, Deskbar, etc...brings back good memories) and every project that I took an interest in as a user if I saw him there I knew that the project was good to go.
As with all of us, things change...what we want to do, what our interests are, they evolve. It could very well be that his boss simply stated, "no more Maui". As it stands, Maui is what it is and won't be developed further. While it bums me out, it is what it is and there's no use getting worked up over it.
Earlier today I did a few steps to change to Neon and after upgrading I'm now running Plasma 5.13.2 along with other numerous upgrades. It's actually quite simple and didn't bork my system. Everything still looks like Maui.

In a terminal:

$ wget -qO - 'http://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-add-repository http://archive.neon.kde.org/user
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

That's it...I also did apt -f install just to make sure. Once I rebooted I was back to my beloved Maui desktop.

MfG,

the topic is a lot far from Maui, but here Your knowledge is high so I hope to find a solution.
I'm thinking to change my smartphone (LG K10) with another better but I have a lot of doubts.
I use the smartphone 90% of time for work, my needs are :
1) obviously Android
2) making phone calls
3) using Google Chrome browser
4) sending sms trough the Google app
5) using Telegram trough Telegram app
6) using Messenger / Facebook trough Facebook app
7) using Gmail e-mails trough Google Gmail app
8) using calendar on Google trough Google calendar app
9) using KDE Connect
10) using bank app
11) using IFTT app
12) using Mytaxi app
13) using Google Assistant
14) using Google Maps app for navigator
15) using an app for trains named Orario Treni Pro
In general my problems are :
1) in Italy the quality of connections is low (especially on the trains), so I need a device with high signal reception and capability to manage in a good way the change of signal quality
2) a quite good energy save (there aren't always 220 volt plugs)
3) a good compatibility with bluetooth earphones
4) a simple system without too much mods, I like the stock from Google and the apps from Google
5) an high RAM / ROM quantity.
I'm watching these 3 devices : Google Pixel 2 XL, HTC U11, OnePlus 6
I read that OnePlus 6 has a lot of problems in signal reception
What is Your advice ?
Another doubt is about the not original roms like CyanogenMod etc. : is a good idea if I buy a smartphone and I flash it with these roms ? Can I have improvements ?

After installing a new video card, my existing Maui 17.03 with updates did not work properly. So I simply decided to update to Kubuntu 18.04. Unfortunatly I got errors during the install and I couldn't install it. Then I found that Maui 17.06 live cd actually recognize my new card out of the box. So I decided to install it on top of my old Maui install instead. But like Kubuntu 18.04, I got some error messages. The difference was that the Maui installer told me the error was that I needed a 500mb boot/efi partition. This was really strange to me since I did not need such a thing when I originally installed Maui 17.03. However, I decided to follow the suggestions given to me by the Maui installer and I created a boot/efi partition formated as fat 32 as Maui suggested. Low and behold it installed just fine. I'm sure Kubuntu 18.04 would have installed with the same changes. But when I wanted to install Kubuntu, I was not informed as to what the problem was. Only Maui told me the issue and how to fix it. Thank you Maui. It was this kind of small attention to detail that made Maui such a great distro. Maui will certainly be missed.]]>
