  "textContent": "Hello https://planet.kde.org\n\nI am Raresh Rus, https://invent.kde.org/nmariusp , https://www.youtube.com/@nmariusp .\n\nI took part in the KDE Mega Sprint 2026 Graz https://community.kde.org/Sprints/MegaSprint/2026 .\n\nThe sprint was from 09:00 - 19:00, Monday 2026.04.06 - Saturday 2026.04.11.\nIn room HS FSI 1, Inffeldgasse 11, Graz, Austria. In the Inffeldgasse campus of the Technical University Graz (TU Graz).\n\n\n\nWe were hosted by the \"Grazer Linuxtage 2026\" organization. Thank you Kevin Krammer.\n\nI travelled by bus and slept almost all of the time.\n\nThe city of Graz has a population of 300,000 and is the second largest city in Austria after the capital Vienna.\nGraz has a large number of well preserved pre First World War buildings.\n\n\n\nMore than 20 KDE contributors participated. Including CorneliusS and LaurenzW from the GNOME community.\n\nBefore the sprint, I created a youtube video \"KDE Mega Sprint 2026 and Grazer Linuxtage 2026 #glt26\" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56xIRyyFR3c\n\nDuring the sprint, I did small gitlab Merge Requests.\nSome KDE git repositories had the main readme file say that the KDE project can most easily be built using kdesrc-build. I replaced \"kdesrc-build\" with \"kde-builder\".\nI saw that https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/building was ready to replace https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Setting_up_the_development_environment . So we did this replacement.\n\nI have edited the flatpak manifest of some KDE GUI apps, such that less files are present in the flatpak package file.\n\nKDE Linux comes with kwrite preinstalled from flathub. I saw that https://github.com/flathub/org.kde.kwrite/blob/master/org.kde.kwrite.json does exist. But this flatpak manifest for kwrite does not exist in the KDE git repository of kwrite and kate.\n\nI have encountered various issues with the licenses displayed in the about dialog of various KDE GUI apps. Scroll issues in license text viewer in Kirigami app. Not correct license being displayed. There are also differences between the license in reuse in the KDE git repository, the license shown in the GUI app's about dialog, the license shown for that app in Discover, apps.kde.org, flathub and snap store.\n\nAlso, in reuse, the license of files which come from outside the KDE community for example app icons for VLC and Blender have different licenses in the upstream git repository and in the KDE git repository.\nThe reuse linter prefers that we use file \"REUSE.toml\" instead of \".reuse/dep5\".\n\nTop issues that I have encountered: I saw Plasma Welcome Center tens of times without reinstalling operating systems or reverting VM snapshots. My hardware laptop took many minutes to start until I have disabled \"Intel VMD\" from the UEFI firmware screen with advanced settings.\n\nFedora 44 Workstation and Ubuntu 26.04 use the GNOME desktop, do not have a GNOME desktop X11 session, but I can connect using the Remote Desktop Protocol. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oelT312LqFI , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjfC4GGI7_w\n\nWork is in progress to have these features available also for KDE Linux and the KDE Plasma Wayland session.\nThe big epics are probably: \"KDE Plasma Wayland session - make it possible via command line to change the KDE Plasma Wayland session resolution to arbitrary width and height integer values\", \"vdagent - make it possible to paste plain text towards KDE Plasma Wayland\", \"vdagent - make it possible to copy plain text from KDE Plasma Wayland\", \"RDP server in KDE Plasma Wayland - implement plain text clipboard copy/paste\", \"RDP server in KDE Plasma Wayland - make it possible to log into KDE Plasma from a RDP client such as xfreerdp\".\n\nToward the end of the sprint, we recorded a youtube video \"Conclusions panel KDE Mega Sprint 2026 Graz\" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSCXY4nEiWI .\n",
