| IrcsomeBot | <Mamarok> Kernel -43 doesn't load plasma correctly in 20.04.1 for me | 08:20 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> @Mamarok, -43 is in proposed for focal, so should not be installed for anyone but those doing update testing | 08:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> if you have a bug, you can comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/kernel-sru-workflow/+bug/1890746 | 08:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1890746 in Kernel SRU Workflow verification-testing "focal/linux: 5.4.0-43.47 -proposed tracker" [Medium,In progress] | 08:34 |
| Mamarok | thanks, couldn't find that, my search skills used to be better | 08:41 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 11:40 |
| wxl | hey are backports still a thing? | 21:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Yes, but they are somewhat restricted by a qt dep in plasma. | 21:34 |
| wxl | oh yuck | 21:34 |
| wxl | we're on bionic and it appears print-manager caused a crash in plasmashell and that package has seen a LOT of changes | 21:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Yes, so if you want the latest plasma, GG is the only option for Kubuntu users. | 21:35 |
| wxl | picking and choosing apps out of backports probably isn't a good idea | 21:36 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> I was referencing Focal, but Bionic has the same restrictions if I remember correctly. | 21:36 |
| wxl | ok thx | 21:37 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> Do you happen to know of the specific patch that fixes the plasma printer issue? | 21:39 |
| RikMills | wxl: I think there may be a fix for the print manager bug that might be backportable | 21:39 |
| wxl | i don't know of a specific patch but maybe RikMills does? | 21:40 |
| RikMills | I can't find the bug right now. I will have to hunt later | 21:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <DarinMiller> wxl is it one of these? https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=printer%20plasma%20crash | 21:45 |
| wxl | @DarinMiller i'll dig deeper and get the actual crash report if i can and dig in there. thanks for the hint | 21:46 |
| RikMills | maybe LP: #1770044 | 21:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1770044 in print-manager (Ubuntu Eoan) "plasmashell crashes on login - so I can't use my desktop system." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1770044 | 21:47 |
| RikMills | a bug that KDE have had several attempts at fixing | 21:47 |
| wxl | black screen, yep that's the one | 21:48 |
| wxl | given the user involved in this particular situation (we've only seen it with one), i can absolutely see how the problem started: printing to a non-existing/connected printer | 21:49 |
| wxl | thanks folks, you rock | 21:50 |
| RikMills | some are claiming still not fixed on focal, so not sure if any of the KDE patches in that bug really help :( | 21:51 |
| wxl | still there's clear workarounds, which is very good | 21:51 |
| RikMills | true! | 21:51 |
| wxl | it may be that ultimately there is more than one issue | 21:52 |
| wxl | i see mention of non-existent printers, non-connected printers, duplicate job ids, etc. | 21:52 |
| * RikMills nods | 21:53 | |
| wxl | interesting too that someone suggested that deleting print-manager and reinstalled it fixed it? weird. | 21:53 |
| RikMills | yeah, sounds like a coincidence | 21:54 |
| wxl | it looks lke this is fixed (supposedly) in focal+ | 21:59 |
| RikMills | quote: "For what it's worth, this bug is still present in Kubuntu 20.04." | 22:02 |
| wxl | right :) | 22:02 |
| RikMills | only one comment though | 22:02 |
| * RikMills shrugs | 22:03 | |
| wxl | question is whether or not that's tested on a fresh install | 22:03 |
| wxl | it may be that a corrupted queue just continues to cause the problem | 22:03 |
| wxl | seems like the last commit went into 19.12 which didn't come any sooner than focal, so there's that | 22:04 |
| wxl | nothing in backports for this tho anyways. sigh. | 22:08 |
