[01:40] <dabblerdude> Hello everyone. Are the KXStudio packages in the Ubuntu repos more up to date than the same packages in the KXStudio repo?
[03:26] <oerheks> ubuntu does not package kxstudio, their ppa seems up2date

[05:30] <MatrixWins> Package qt4-default is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:30] <guiverc> MatrixWins, what OS & release are you using?  all supported releases should provide a lsb > 9.2
[05:30] <MatrixWins> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:30] <MatrixWins> is only available from another source
[05:30] <MatrixWins> $ lsb_release -a
[05:30] <MatrixWins> LSB Version:    core-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:printing-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch

[05:31] <guiverc> qt4 is EOL & removed from debian & ubuntu in 2019; the package is old & you should use a modern one (Qt4 was superceeded by Qt5 in Dec-2012)
[05:33] <guiverc> the printer driver you have (if it wants Qt4) is an old one, you need a more recent version (I believe there have been workarounds on askubuntu, but I'd look for a newer version that is Qt5 & not really old Qt4)
[05:33] <guiverc> !pastebinit please too
[05:33] <ubottu> guiverc: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[05:33] <MatrixWins> I downloaded the deb from epson.com with relese date
[05:33] <MatrixWins>     02-17-2021.
[05:33] <guiverc> !pastebinit
[05:33] <ubottu> pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit
[05:35] <guiverc> then I'd chase up with Epson; since Qt5 came out in Dec-2012, Qt4 is now EOL so it wouldn't make sense to package using something EOL/insecure
[05:35] <MatrixWins> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SY9pgbJ379/
[05:36] <guiverc> this maybe helpful MatrixWins https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233178/epson-printer-utility-error-loading-shared-libraries
[05:37] <guiverc> the accepted answer has a PPA where someone has packaged Qt4 for later releases for epson drivers
[05:37] <guiverc> there is also an answer for someone on groovy/20.10
[05:39] <MatrixWins> Thanks. I always seem to buy the wrong hardware that is not properly supported;( .
[05:54] <MauroGaspari[m]> <MatrixWins "Thanks. I always seem to buy the"> It is not your fault. Most manufacturers say they do have linux drivers. what they don't usually say is how well they work
[05:55] <MauroGaspari[m]> My recommendation for you if you can replace it (maybe still can return it) or for next time, is stick with HP. HP linux support has been awesome for a very long time
[06:00] <MatrixWins> Treid  askubuntu suggestion, but does not work.
[06:07] <guiverc> MatrixWins, which did you try? and pastebin your error maybe
[06:19] <MatrixWins> first part is for 20.04, does not work for 20.10.  Second part still does not fix the install dependency problem
[06:21] <MatrixWins> guess I'll revert back to KDE NEON which is still on 20.04 and then I can print again....
