Kubuntu About info has http link, should be https [closed]

Question

I was irritated to find a http link in such a prominent location as the "About" info of Kubuntu. This issue persists with the most recent stable release 18.10.

Is there an existing ticket for this problem? Plans to fix this?

Answer 1

The website link is coming from the kubuntu-settings-desktop package as /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc:

[General]
LogoPath=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kubuntu-circle-128.png
Website=http://www.kubuntu.org
Name=Kubuntu

You could file a bug report against the kubuntu-settings package. Current bug reports: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bugs .

Fixed with the 19.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/1:19.04ubuntu1
