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:
Operating System: Kubuntu 19.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4
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
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB

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.

Hi

I'm getting a bad error from KMail:

"Im E-Mail-Programm ist ein schwerwiegender Fehler aufgetreten. Das Programm
wird beendet. Die Fehlermeldung lautet: Could not create collection trash,
resourceId: 2"

(Translation: "In the email program, a grave error occured. The program is now
being terminated.

Hi,

On my Lenovo Z40 laptop (Intel Core i7-4510U, 16GB RAM, GeForce 820M), both Nouveau and NVIDIA drivers aren't working. And I did double check if secure boot is disabled.

When I have nvidia-driver-396 and have the NVIDIA driver enabled, "PKCS#7 signature not signed with a trusted key" error keeps getting spammed in separate TTYs. In addition, nvidia-xconfig doesn't see the GPU and had to be manually entered in xorg.conf. Finally, the audio is choppy/laggy.

that daemon's crashing in the dailylive ISO of 18.10. i'm filing a bug report. this is getting tiresome. i've had that same crash across two releases of kubuntu: 18.04 and now with 18.10.

Hello.
To have new better Bug#1 fixing so people can find wich for comparison
should b installed, for current and new users, of all Ubuntu distros, im
asking for crowdsourcing help of everyone working together to share
knowledge together in one spreadsheet.
At start 7 Ubuntu Flavors Compared: Kubuntu vs. Lubuntu vs. Xubuntu vs.
MATE vs. Budgie vs. Studio.

First off, sorry for potentially hitting some of your mailboxes more
than once but I wanted to get the word spread out as much as possible.

Now on to the matter at hand: Google Code-In. This is a project Google
hosts where open source organizations participate, providing bite size
tasks and mentorship for 13-17 year olds from around the world. The
winners and their parents get to hang out with Google in San Francisco
for what is ultimately a really, really cool trip.

Ubuntu has participated in this for several years, with Canonical
providing the admins.

I would like to request that the Cosmic packageset of Kubuntu is updated
by running the 'usual' scripts. This should add the sources we have
gained since last release, and correct some previous omissions, and
allow us to polish up Cosmic without having to bother sponsorship queues
unnecessarily.

Thank you.
