IrcsomeBot<Anarchotaoist> Hello all! Every time I am shutting the laptop lid, either with or without locking the screen first, Kubuntu will restart. Once it even went to a diagnostics tool - and passed. Before this it even took a few tries before it would reboot. I suspect this behaviour started after a Dell firmware update. What can I troubleshoot? Thanks.00:03

nmrp3hi - I'm trying to unbreak my kubuntu network manager12:10
nmrp3I'm on 21.0412:11
nmrp3The network tray aplet says "Networks Disconnected"12:11
nmrp3if I open it, it is completely blank - it doesn't even have the flight mode checkbox12:12
nmrp3I had to manually bring up a network connection with `ifconfig usb0 up && dhclient usb0`12:12
TJ-nmrp3: is the service running? "systemctl status NetworkManager"12:16
nmrp3:TJ- yes it is - active (running)12:16
TJ-nmrp3: is this USB interface the only network interface on the system?12:17
nmrp3I should say this sytem has been upgraded since bionic, so it's possible there's some cruft from earlier versions12:17
TJ-nmrp3: check also "nmcli con" to list connections that NM knows of / manages12:17
nmrp3:TJ- the USB teather is what I have to use right now - the motherboard has a nic, which is what I usually use when my broadband provider is providing broadband12:18
nmrp3`nmcli con` listed 4 connections - usb, the nic, and two bluetooth teathers for old phones12:19
TJ-nmrp3: right, and is NM reporting the wired interface too? Trying to discover why your GUI applet may not be displaying those12:19
TJ-ok, so nmcli confirms it can see the Ethernet wired device12:19
nmrp3so none of the 4 listed connections have an associated DEVICE12:19
nmrp3the network manager broke when I upgraded to hersuite12:20
TJ-nmrp3: hmmm, do any of those preconfigured connections in NM have any user-entered data / passphrases you cannot easily recall? If not I'd recommend deleting them all and stopping/starting (not just a restart) the NetworkManager service and let it redisciver them12:21
nmrp3no, they are all vanilla12:22
TJ-nmrp3: also, Ubuntu configures NM by default not to manage wired ethernet devices - wondering if that also affects USB since they are usually USb CDC-Ethernet12:22
nmrp3so should I go to "CONFIGURE network connections" and delete them all?>12:23
TJ-" cat  /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf "12:23
TJ-you'll likely see "unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:gsm,except:type:cdma"12:23
TJ-so first it says "I won't manage any devices at all (*), except wifi, gsm, cdma12:24
nmrp3unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:gsm,except:type:cdma12:24
TJ-nmrp3: so we could try blanking that out with an override12:24
TJ-nmrp3: "sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf"12:25
TJ-nmrp3: that over-rides the package-installed config. Restart NM and if you're lucky it may see and manage the USB and the Wired Connection12:25
TJ-nmrp3: I /think/ that is the correct way to do; if /dev/null redirect doesn't help, we'll have to replace that with a file that removes the setting specifically12:26
nmrp3`Job for NetworkManager.service failed because the control process exited with error code.`12:27
nmrp3that was on start for the service12:27
nmrp3I don't think it likes the /dev/null12:28
TJ-hmmm, what does "journalctl -u NetworkManager -n 30" show ?12:28
BluesKajHi folks12:28
TJ-nmrp3: pretty sure I've used /dev/null in the past12:28
nmrp3shall I softlink it back and check it at least starts?12:30
TJ-nmrp3: yes12:30
nmrp3it restarted12:32
TJ-nmrp3: yes, I tested it here, it complained "not a regular file" so maybe it is just an empty file using touch12:32
TJ-ahh yes, "sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf"12:33
TJ-I get so used to using /dev/null with systemd I tend to forget12:33
nmrp3thanks! That's brought everything back12:37
nmrp3after a delay where things timed out and stuff12:39

kpowgamesHello, can somebody point me in the right direction? I've installed Kubuntu 21.04 some days ago and I've been using it since, unaware that I was working with it under the "oem" username. Now I foolishly accessed the "ship to end user" and lost all the things I did under the oem user. How can I get all the settings and apps I had on the OEM user?16:23

IrcsomeBot<f001010> Hi, I have an Nvidia GPU (GTX 970), and I want to install latest mainline kernel for (K)Ubuntu. Also, how can I access to and install latest releases of software that is not in the repos by default. Btw, is Kubuntu and Ubuntu repos the same or they are two different ones?16:53
tomreynf001010: to your second question (i assume the first one can only fail, but don't want to bother with nvidia): there's a kubuntu-backports PPA, which i think is optional for kubuntu. other than that it'S the same repositories as for ubuntu.17:30
tomreyngenerally, if you want newer software version, you upgrade to the newer release. or you look for a trustable third party source.17:31
tomreynmaybe a PPA, but those are generally unsupported by (k)ubuntu (except for the kubuntu-backports PPA, i assume).17:32
tomreyn!latest17:32
ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.17:32

IrcsomeBot<f001010> Do you know why not all PPAs won't work on Kubuntu compared to Ubuntu?17:49
alkisgThat's not true. PPAs that work on Ubuntu also work for all other flavors17:54

IrcsomeBot<Sheik_Manzoor> Any suggestions22:27
gnoobI think a virtual machine might be your only option.22:28
gnooband people here can probably recommend an alternate.22:28
gnoobI guess WINE might work depending on what it is.22:29
lethuyou can use wine22:38
lethuat winehq, google it22:38
gnoobif it's games you might try Steam Proton22:44
IrcsomeBot<f001010> Kubuntu is amazing22:45
IrcsomeBot<f001010> Just installed KDE connect22:45
IrcsomeBot<f001010> PPAs are wonderful and really useful22:45
