Hi,

Can somebody respond to Dimitris asking him to file a bug report -
preferably pointing to the patch or upstream commit that fixes the issue
with plasma-nm. Also re-assure him that KDE is only being removed from
the list of desktop options in the installer and only until such time as
it can be made to work properly and have a devuan purpy theme included
in desktop base. We'd be more then happy to re-add it to the list of
installable desktops once these issues are resolved. Same goes for
gnome3 if anybody want's to do the work.

Regards,
    Daniel.
