Cosmic epoch DE on Opensuse? Is there a central place for discussion?

This is alpha of course but I know someone has to be working on this for eventual inclusion in repos. Is there a central place this is being discussed or individuals can try to help out? Everyone just building off of github atm?

@butcherbird @rrahl0 is the Maintainer on openSUSEā€¦

@butcherbird we have a matrix channel at #cosmic:opensuse.org. Sadly I am not sure if those also exist on irc/telegram/discord.

I am in the process to actually write a wiki page (you can find the very beginning on that on Portal:COSMIC - openSUSE Wiki) but nothing is there (for now)

Sorry to ask, but is it ready to download? Since alpha is now out from system76 with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS I keen to test spin, but not on Ubuntu openSUSE one

Seems thereā€™s a repo for now, but I canā€™t find any ā€œcosmic sessionā€ in SDDM after installing the packages, so I just assume that it doesnā€™t work.

Show X11:COSMIC:Factory - openSUSE Build Service

According to file list, cosmic-session package comes with /usr/share/wayland-sessions/cosmic.desktop. Is this package installed?

My bad, seems thereā€™s an error with the repo, and thatā€™s why the OS is not downloading and installing the packages from it.

"The repository ā€˜cosmicā€™ is invalid.
[cosmic|Repositories for X11:COSMIC:Factory - openSUSE Build Service] No valid metadata found at the specified URL
History:

  • File /var/tmp/TmpFile.1pvBRU doesnā€™t contain public key data
    "

Which is correct. Your link is not a link to the published repository. The correct link is

/repositories/X11:/COSMIC:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory - openSUSE Download

Sheesh, thanks for helping. Took me ages to understand which link made sense.
