[SOLVED] Limited software in Kubuntu 20.04?

[chimak111]

/var/log/installer/media-info has Kubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Alpha amd64 (20200123) and

/var/log/installer/telemetry has (with a bit of formatting)

{
"Media": "Kubuntu 20.04 LTS \"Focal Fossa\" - Alpha amd64 (20200123)", 
"Type": "KDE", 
"OEM": false, 
"PartitionMethod": "use_device", 
"DownloadUpdates": false, 
"Language": "en", 
"Minimal": false, 
"RestrictedAddons": false, 
"Stages": {"0": "language", 
         "3": "language", 
         "39": "page", 
         "56": "Form", 
         "79": "Form", 
         "96": "start_install", 
         "114": "page", 
         "121": "Form", 
         "200": "user_done", 
         "956": "done"}
}

From the above, it's clear that I didn't choose the minimal install option. But a lot of software is missing relative to 18.04. I do see LibreOffice but had to install kalarm and both akonadi-server and kdepim-runtime (to get kalarm working.

Is the omission of things like KMail and Konversation by design or did I somehow end up with a limited install (that works quite well!)?

---

I looked at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/da...amd64.manifest and there's no akonadi* there even today.

I don't believe that Focal Fossa is anywhere near final in terms of committed software. There's a schedule floating around somewhere, but the release schedule is still in the early Beta stages.

I don't believe that Focal Fossa is anywhere near final in terms of committed software. There's a schedule floating around somewhere, but the release schedule is still in the early Beta stages.

According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule, Feb 27 was Feature Freeze:

At this point we stop introducing new features, packages, and APIs, and concentrate on fixing bugs in the development release.

Of course, it's possible that Kubuntu has its own schedule.

Thanks!

That explains the massive autoremove some days ago. I thought my system broke!

Great info! Personally, if KDEPim goes away, as a default install, it would be a day of celebration.

I know there are some users whose lives are built around Akonadi, so KDEPim could be an option. Thunderbird with the Lightning plugin is a terrific product, and much more elegant. Please make it so
