KDE Software Compilation 466282 0 NOR ASSIGNED Add a live environment mode so Plasma Welcome is useful on live media 2023-03-05 13:11:32 UTC

Description Neal Gompa 2023-03-05 13:11:33 UTC
Description of problem:
Plasma Welcome does a great job of introducing people to Plasma, but it also offers prompts and settings that are inappropriate when booted into a live environment. This is inappropriate and can give the user the impression they are configuring the environment that they'll use (though that's not true at all).

Plasma Welcome needs to be disabled in live environments to avoid this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.27.1-1.fc38

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a Fedora KDE live image

Actual results:
Plasma Welcome starts up and gives a tour while helping the user configure the live environment.

Expected results:
Plasma Welcome does not do this.

Additional info:
There is upstream work to add a live environment specific mode, but this will not be ready for Fedora Linux 38.

Blech, I write this ticket and realize I should have just written it more simply for livesys-scripts.

Changing to livesys-scripts...

Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-03-05 13:46:58 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 38-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because:

 Having plasma-welcome run in live environments is inappropriate and it'd be good to have this disabled before the official Beta release.

Discussed in ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/1073

The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedFreezeException was made:

"This is an obvious wrong impression on live boot, can't be fixed with an update."
