Public bug reported: Krita 6.0 is a beta release for the upcoming qt6 port of Krita, which is not considered production-ready by upstream, yet; see release notes:
* https://krita.org/en/release-notes/krita-5-3-release-notes/ (I think they probably shouldn't have called a pre-release version '6.0' but it is what it is.) This version has bugs that make the program unusable for me; specifically this issue, which has already been reported upstream: * https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518192 * https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-change-font-in-krita-6/45740 I checked why the arch guys are shiping a broken version and apparently it's because they want to get rid of qt5 as fast as possible: * https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/krita/-/work_items/13 AFAICT Ubuntu ships qt5 in the 26.04 repos, so there's no rush to switch to qt6. I think krita 5.3 might be a better fit for an LTS release. I know this is very last minute -- I only noticed the issue yesterday. btw, both Debian testing and unstable have a package for krita 5.3, maybe that can be repurposed for ubuntu as well: * https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/krita ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 26.04 Package: krita 1:6.0.1~ufsg-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 7.0.0-14.14-generic 7.0.0 Uname: Linux 7.0.0-14-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.34.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Sun Apr 19 10:29:03 2026 InstallationDate: Installed on 2026-04-18 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 26.04 "Resolute Raccoon" - Daily amd64 (20260325) SourcePackage: krita UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: krita (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug resolute wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to krita in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2148762 Title: QT6 version of Krita (6.0) still experimental; recommending switch to QT5 version (5.3) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krita/+bug/2148762/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
