Normal everyday update to the 19.10 Beta after updating (sudo apt update &&
sudo apt upgrade -y). I was running the Beta Plasma but I'm sure that
disappeared in the upgrade.

sudo do-release-upgrade -d finished with errors.

Hello

We're thinking of introducing a HTML Kubuntu newsletter, and we need your

Could you take a minute to help us by answering 4 questions on our survey

Hi everyone.

The call for nominations in the election has now closed, and the
following 3 candidates have been nominated:

Aaron Honeycutt
Rik Mills
Rick Timmis

for the 3 positions in the Council they currently hold.

Therefore, in accordance with community council election guidelines [1],
a full election via CVIS or launchpad is not required.

Instead, an individual confirmation poll for each candidate has been set
up on the Kubuntu Members launchpad team page.

This is a Yes/No poll, with no other options, open only to Kubuntu Members.

I Kubuntu 19.04 if I install kopete and kopete-data I am no longer able
to install any kde-l10n packages.

aptitude why-not kde-l10n-engb
i kopete Depends kopete-data (= 4:18.12.3-0ubuntu2)
iBA kopete-data Breaks kde-l10n-engb (< 4:18.04.0~)

If this is a bug, where do I report it?

I reported this to KDE some time ago, and am following up, because I still
experience the bug, which is that size no longer shows in the info panel
about images. File size is reported, but not the actual size of the image.

One developer said that Dolphin was not responsible, because "the metadata
is provided by kfilemetadata, which needs to be built against exiv2. Make
sure this is the case and report back, please."

Do we build our kfilemetadata against exiv2?

Hello folks, my caledar tells me that soon it will be time for elections.
We need someone to step up and *run* the election, which means asking for
nominations, setting up the poll, sending ballots to all Kubuntu Members,
remind people to vote, close the poll and announce the results.

Thanks in advance for stepping up,

Valorie

I saw a systemd update go by which made my eyebrows go up.

Tried booting previous kernels, no dice.

What would folks suggest as first stage debugging steps? Should I figure out how to track down and revert that systemd upgrade?

This is Kubuntu 19.04 on an Alienware 17 R5 / NVidia binary drivers.

Would booting into recovery mode (which works fine) and running ubuntu-bug help anything?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm just wondering that, instead of totally dropping i386, why not just
drop the ones that are unnecessary from the repos, like VLC, Vim, Nano,
Plasma, etc.  Since Ubuntu doesn't even have an i386 based distros
officially, those aren't needed to be there anymore.  That way, you only
had to trim it down to the ones that are necessary for us who need the
legacy stuff without the workarounds, like Wine?

Best of both worlds, right?

Kubuntu 19.05 new install on hp pavilion gaming laptop boots from USB drive
and installs fine but first boot after install stops with "hd audio unable
to bind the codec".
Kubuntu 18.04 installs and boots without error and upgrade to 19.04 works
just fine. Is this a known thing with a bug report I can add to our should
I file a new bug report?

Hello,

I've got two phones and a desktop. KDE Connect is installed in all of them.
One of the phones finds the desktop and pair with it flawlessly. The desktop
also sees this phone.
The desktop does not see the other phone, nor that phone can see the
desktop. They have seen each other and connected in the past, but not
anymore. The desktop is shown on the "Remembered devices" section on
the phone, but not on the "Available devices" section.
The funny thing is that the two phones see each other and connect.

Any idea on what may be happening here?

Thanks,

A kde wallet service dialog box pops up at odd times since a new install
of 19.04 Is this telling me anything that's important? This didn't occur
after an upgrade from 18.10, only after a fresh install.

"The application 'kde5" has requested to open the wallet". A password is
then requested.

I did a new install of ubuntu 19.04 and then installed plasma-desktop and I'm
missing a bunch of stuff.

I haven't logged this one yet....   but when I open K3B, it tells me
that no optical drives are present in the system.  Huh?

Anyone else see this problem?

And also, how does one fix this other than hope that a proper kernel fix
comes along.

Thanks

Hi,

There's this one very annoying bug with Plasma 5.15 & NVIDIA where the desktop flickers or goes out-of-focus.

This is my hardware info:

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0
Qt Version: 5.12.2
Kernel Version: 5.0.0-8-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM

I have tried downgrading the driver to version 410, but that didn't work.

Hello,

When I have the wallet subsystem enabled, but it doesn't appear to remember my wi-fi/VPN passwords.

It always prompt me for the password. But strangely, it only does this for passwords chosen with the "store password only for this user" option in the wi-fi password manager.

Hello folks, at the time Trusty became 14.04 and then the LTS, Kubuntu
pledged support for 5 years. While that 5 years is nearly up, there is a
pending point release:

"we will be respinning new point-releases for trusty and xenial in the
nearest days because of the apt vulnerability that was fixed recently. Do
you want to participate in this security-point-release?" (from the
#ubuntu-flavors IRC chan).

Neither Rik nor I have time to do the necessary testing. Does someone else
want to step up and organize this?

Hey guys I'm new at Linux and I'd like to know if there's a way to check if Kubuntu is using my graphics card. I have a Radeon HD graphics card and on Windows I could check that just by going to system info, but now on Kubuntu I don't see it anywhere. Neither on the driver manager or in the graphics section of system info. Hope someone could help me out with that. EOF

Hi,

I am currently attempting to install Kubuntu 18.04.1 on a HP Pavilion
15-cr0001ng notebook which came preinstalled with Windows 10 Home Edition.
In preparation, I shrunk the C: drive to get some 400GB of free storage on
the (single) HDD.

How do I go about getting kontact/kmail to automatically deleting my emails
from my computer like Thunderbird does? That's one feature that I'd love to
see in kontact/kmail. Is there a way I can implement that?

Hello,

here I am again with my periodic issue with font hinting (see here for
the previous chapter
<a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html" title="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html">https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2017-October/062489.html</a>).

Recap: I like crisp fonts and hate blurry as well as ragged ones, so I
use msttcorefont, arial (a font with good hinting) and disable aliasing
between 8 and 15 pt.

re. my finding that upgrading from a minimal install option of Kubuntu
18.04 results in a "full" version of 18.10.

Following the same procedure for Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu Mate 18.04 works
as expected.

Hi Everybody.

I have a odd question. I have upgraded to KUbuntu 18.10 from 18.04 some
time ago. But there seems to have a odd bug. One can through the
trashcan in the trashcan. Is this something one should be able to do.
When I do this the trashcan vanish from the screen. But if one has
"Dolphin" open one can still see the trashcan. And one can drag the
trashcan from there to the screen. Is this a bug or is something that
should be there? I also have another question. This has with program to
do. I don't know if there is any program like a program I like.

Hi Everybody

I would like to ask how can one upgrade from KUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS to
KUbuntu 18.10? I have tested everything I have found on forums and tips.
But nothing seems to work. I have even taken home ISO file and put on a
USB memory stick. I wondering can one upgrade through a memory stick and
not lose everything one has? Since every time I tested what forum says I
get an answer there is no new version. I switch source from Sweden to
World and even told it to normal releases. But nothing I have tried
works. I also tried to update from KDE Plasma v.
