Public bug reported: kubuntu-installer-prompt was supposed to be ported to Qt6 in order to align with the use of Plasma 6 in Kubuntu. The code doesn't even hardly need ported, it just needs configured to build against Qt6/KF6, some deprecated function calls updated, and the method of drawing a background image changed to be compliant with Qt's requirements (the existing method of drawing a background image isn't even supposed to work on Qt5, and I know from experience with lubuntu-installer-prompt that the bad way of drawing a background image sometimes breaks on Qt6). This should be a safe change, and pre-release testing will catch any important issues.
This can *not* be done after the release of Kubuntu 24.10 as this change needs to be present on the installer image. ** Affects: kubuntu-installer-prompt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083792 Title: Update kubuntu-installer-prompt to qt6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-installer-prompt/+bug/2083792/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
