I read that Neon Dev Edition Unstable Branches is moving to Plasma Wayland by default instead of X. So I thought it a good time to check out this week’s Plasma Wayland ISO. Joy of joys it has gained the ability to work in VirtualBox and virt-manager since last I tried. It’s full of flickers and Spectacle doesn’t take screenshots but it’s otherwise perfectly functional. Very exciting 🙂
Maybe “very exciting” and “perfeclty funcional” but… not works 🙂
Your link is broken 😛
I tried http://files.kde.org/neon/images/plasma-wayland-devedition-gitunstable/current/plasma-wayland-devedition-gitunstable-20160921-2117-amd64.iso in virt-manager right now.
I face two issues. The second one I would consider a nice-to-have:
1. The mouse cursor is not visible at all
2. The resolution seems to be fixed, and does not adapt to the size of the virt-viewer window.
Apart of that all seems to work fine. Thanks for the hard work, I feel soon I can use the Wayland session of Plasma / KDE in prod.
Btw:
http://files.kde.org/neon/images/plasma-wayland-devedition-gitunstable/20160920-2117/ does not exist anymore.
