[03:24] <RPG_Master> Trying to update to 21.10, but when I run the command in the terminal I get "Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release."
[03:25] <RPG_Master> Also find it odd that even though I thought I had fully updated to 21.04, it still says I'm on 20.04 in the info center
 I recommend following the directions found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImpishUpgrades/Kubuntu (re @IrcsomeBot: <RPG_Master> Also find it odd that even though I thought I had fully updated to 21.04, it still says I'm on 20.04 in the info center)
 This worked for me:  sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop

[07:51] <iomari891> greetings, I suddenly can't launch plasma. When I login using sddm, nothing happens. My drive light flashes quickly then that's it. I tried everything I know Even reinstalling kde-full. I also tried form other user accounts I have o my laptop. All have same problem. I even tried using gdm. Same result. I can ogin using other desktops I have installed like gnome and xfce. Please any suggestions.
[08:59] <iomari891> greetings, I suddenly can't login anymore. I'm stuck on sddm login screen. I tried other user accounts I have on my laptop and all have the same issue.
[09:03] <iomari891> also, why does startx launch gnome instead of plasma?
[12:12] <iomari891> greetings, how cn I reinstall kubuntu without messing with my existing configurations?
[12:33] <alkisg> iomari891: if you mean /home/user configuration, then by reinstalling and selecting "yes use the existing partition WITHOUT formatting it", then /home is preserved
[12:33] <alkisg> If you mean "reinstall but preserve /etc configuration", I'm not sure that has any point or if it's possible
[12:34] <alkisg> If you want to purge all gnome related packages and reinstall all kubuntu ones, sure that can be done too
[12:35] <alkisg> But in general, avoid installing multiple desktop environments as this use case isn't very much tested and multiple services may run, or even problems may arise
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:02] <iomari891> alkisg: understood but I've had gnome and kde installed together for ages and never had an issue. I upgraded to 21.10 ont the 15th and alsohad no issues. But Saturday night, I shut down, went home and when I booted my kachine, Im stuck on the login screen. If I got to tty console and come back to gui, Ihave a black screen with the mouse pointer. I've reinstalled kde-full and still no luck.
[13:03] <iomari891> damn typos
[13:05] <alkisg> iomari891: you can check your .xsession-errors for possible troubleshooting tips
[13:06] <iomari891> alkisg: thanks
[13:06] <alkisg> While if you want to run a few things manually, you can replace Exec=plasmashell with xterm in /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop (I'm not mate currently I can't check the names exactly)
[13:06] <alkisg> That way when you login you get a plain xterm, and from there you can start running plasmashell and kwin etc etc, so that you see all the messages along with what does what
[13:07] <alkisg> *I'm on mate...
[13:09] <BluesKaj> wonder if gnome using wayland and kde/plasma on xorg could be part of the issue
[13:10] <alkisg> Theoretically /usr/share/xsessions are for xorg sessions, all display managers should know that
[13:10] <alkisg> There's another dir for wayland...
[13:10] <alkisg> Hmm, but if kubuntu adds something in the wayland dir... /me checks...
[13:11] <BluesKaj> theory...hmm
[13:28] <iomari891> alkisg: btw, there is no plasmashell command.
[13:29] <iomari891> forgot to mention that
[13:29] <alkisg> You'll find the exact command in the Exec line
[13:29] <alkisg> Let me find it for you
[13:30] <alkisg> It's called startplasma-x11
[13:30] <iomari891> ok
[13:30] <alkisg> While plasmashell IS a command and I think represents the menu etc
[13:30] <alkisg> dpkg -S /usr/bin/plasmashell => plasma-workspace
[13:31] <alkisg> Do you have the plasma-workspace package installed?
[13:31] <iomari891> display is not set or cannot conect to x server
[13:31] <alkisg> How are you running this, from vt2?
[13:31] <iomari891> when I run startplasma-x11
[13:31] <alkisg> This was supposed to be run from the xterm
[13:31] <alkisg> After you modified the Exec line
[13:32] <alkisg> Anyway, do you have the plasma-workspace package installed?
[13:32] <iomari891> yes. reinstalled it many times
[13:32] <alkisg> Then you do have /usr/bin/plasmashell, right?
[13:32] <iomari891> I actual reinstalled kde-full
[13:32] <alkisg> Because you said you didn't have that command
[13:33] <alkisg> kde-full is a metapackage
[13:33] <iomari891> yes, but it installed 700 meg of stuff
[13:33] <iomari891> reinstalled
[13:33] <alkisg> > Then you do have /usr/bin/plasmashell, right?
[13:34] <alkisg> A metapackage may miss recommended packages if you uninstalled them manually before you tried reinstalling the metapackage
[13:34] <iomari891> yes I do. You're right
[13:34] <alkisg> It will pull depends:, but not recommends:
[13:34] <alkisg> Do you want to pastebin your .xsession-errors?
[13:35] <alkisg> If you see sensitive stuff, remove it; although there shouldn't be...
[13:35] <iomari891> That may be difficult. I'm working from the terminal no gui remember.
[13:37] <iomari891> letme see if I can get it to my phone first then maybe I can mail it to you.
[13:47] <iomari891> alkisg: ok, how can I send it? It's phone phone now.
[13:57] <alkisg> cat ~/.xsession-errors | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:00] <alkisg> sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop
[14:00] <alkisg> Replace Exec=/usr/bin/startplasma-x11 with xterm
[14:00] <alkisg> And you'll be able to login in a plain xterm
[14:00] <alkisg> From there, you can try to run plasmashell etc
[14:00] <alkisg> And see where it doesn't make it
[14:05] <iomari891> alkisg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HKDzfsGDFZ
[14:13] <iomari891> alkisg: when I run plasmashell from xterm, it reports that dbus is incorrectly setup.
[14:28] <alkisg> That's not a problem, you should have ran dbus first. It does run though, right?
[14:29]  * alkisg is doing something atm, I'll have a look at xsession-errors a bit later...
[14:34] <alkisg> iomari891:  run this: sudo ln -s /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
[14:35] <alkisg> And, what's the output of: ls -l /etc/machine-id
[14:43] <iomari891> alkisg: thanks for al your help. This solved it: sudo dbus-uuidgen --ensure

[17:48] <Sazpaimon> I'm looking for a remote desktop solution that works about as good as windows RDP. Specifically I'm looking for: 1. Sound redirection 2. Matching the resolution of the client machine 3. Connecting to the main console session (not requiring logging out). I've tried a few different things but none of them really do any of those things well, if at all. Any suggestions?
[18:07] <alkisg> xfreerdp is as close as you can get. Or go commercial, anydesk, teamviewer etc
[19:31] <iomari891> greetings, I have 2 test servers both with a 1G interface and a 10G interface. How can I copy files between the 2 servers using a particular interface?

 What is the model of the headset? What kind of headset is it? (re @aliz9271: Hi everyone, I recently installed Kubuntu LTS version everything is fine but when I plugged in my headset the microphone does not work, I have tested everything that I found on google but it did not work.

 @DarinMiller
 Are you one of the core Kubuntu Devs?
[23:14] <oerheks> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/~darinmiller
 Thanks (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/~darinmiller)
 I would like to collaborate with Kubuntu core team on a Collaborative OpenOS-Release.
 That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process.
 Rik and Santa are the primary devs.
 Could you share their Telegram pings or contact information?
 Please/Thanks (re @DarinMiller: Rik and Santa are the primary devs.)
 What are your current duties within the greater Kubuntu community? (re @DarinMiller: That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process.)
 What are your current duties within the greater Kubuntu community?
 What are your currently working on? (re @DarinMiller: That's me but i only have tenuous grasp of the full Kubuntu dev process.)
 I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's  and ISO releases.
 Do you have some spare time? (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's  and ISO releases.)
 OSP uses EGGS to build its ISO files. (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's  and ISO releases.)
 What is your ppa experience level @ as of this point in time? (re @DarinMiller: I mostly test pre-release ( landing) ppa's  and ISO releases.)
 Feel free to pm me unless the conversation is valuable to other Kubuntu users. I am currently at work but heading home shortly.
 Well I would like to discuss that collaborative release & you can point me to those individuals whom may be interested in being liaison developers...?
 Should we stay in group or move to PM?
 Also I asked if you had some spare time to have a one-on-one AnyDesk through Flatpak binary remote test drive of the current build environment of OSP so you can get a feel & understand more of the project & it's goals/missions? (re @DarinMiller: Feel free to pm me unless the conversation is valuable to other Kubuntu users. I am currently at work but heading home shortly.)
[23:30] <oerheks> anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is
 I have some spare time. Right now i am heading home by bike so unable to respond for 50 minutes.
 The OSP features a mixed App Repo with a PWA first model using Linux Mint Web App Manager & Brave as the browser backend.
 Then Snap is second citizen model.
 Flatpak is Third citizen model.
 Apt/Deb/RPM is fourth citizen model.
 AppImage & Scripts/Executables are fifth citisen model. (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is)
[23:36] <oerheks> rpm ? really?
 Which if AnyDesk has a official or unofficial Snap it would be featured instead of the unofficial Flatpak of AnyDesk. (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> anydesk is paid stuff .. and flatpak is not the goal of ubuntu, snap is)
 Yes for Fedora base/rootfs release of OSP. (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> rpm ? really?)
[23:37] <oerheks> nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs
 I was just explaining the OSP's App Repo for the project as a whole... (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs)
 The OSP has 3 seed distros.
 Primary Seed Distro = KDE Neon
 Secondary Seed Distro = GalliumOS
 Third Seed Distro = ChromiumOS/KromiumOS (re @IrcsomeBot: <oerheks> nothing to do with kubuntu, we use debs)
