[01:51] <Elliria> Hey there. I'm not getting any response in the #kde-bugs channel. Does anyone in here know how to edit the summary section of a KDE bug report?
[06:53] <IrcsomeBot> <Omar> Hi, flatpak is asking to download big packages for a small app
[08:53] <IrcsomeBot> <SA> Hello my PC has had this problem for a long time, when I turn on the beeps and after a short time the fan starts to run at full speed. I found this in the BIOS page: 6 short sounds
[08:53] <IrcsomeBot> <SA> Keyboard module on motherboard
[08:53] <IrcsomeBot> <SA> Connect another keyboard. In case of permanent error: Replace the main circuit board. I tried this with the change of the keyboard, it's still like that. If I turn off the PC a few times and turn it on, the problem goes away. Does anyone have an idea what it could be?
[09:08] <IrcsomeBot> <mr3soc> Why is my Desktop Effect not working on Kubuntu 22.04?

[15:29] <user|82> shut up
[15:59] <arraybolt3[m]> user|82: Welcome to the official Kubuntu Support Channel. Please remain on-topic.
[16:06] <pickanick> Hello I am using Kubuntu 22.04.  The ethernet has started to fail to connect. It cycles from "Setting Network Address" -> "Connection ... deactivated"   Wired Interface : "IP configuration was unavailable"
[16:06] <pickanick> I could submit a png screenshot of the popups, perhaps someone might recognize the problem?
[16:09] <kksilvery> Did you use Wi-Fi network?
[16:14] <pickanick> This was the ethernet wired connection. What about wifi?
[16:15] <pickanick> Wifi is working but is constantly being reset, can see https://dpaste.com/ARMVMNKYY for iwlwifi errors in dmesg
[16:16] <pickanick> I do not know whether these two problems are related.

=== boi is now known as boi_
[17:12] <kksilvery> No.
[17:12] <kksilvery> Try Wi-Fi network. There must be a problem with the network driver. May I know the specs?
[17:24] <arraybolt3[m]> pickanick: Did this only just recently start happening?
[17:25] <arraybolt3[m]> I've had similar problems that I was able to resolve by removing the network interface in Connections - System Settings, then re-adding it.
[17:25] <arraybolt3[m]> (If it's always been broken, that obviously won't work, but if it used to work and now doesn't, that might be worth a shot.)
[17:27] <arraybolt3[m]> If you need to get into the Connections settings, click your network icon, then click the settings icon in the upper-right corner of the pop-up display.
[17:41] <kksilvery> Noted
[17:42] <kksilvery> I think, he is offline.
[18:01] <pickanick> I'm back
[18:01] <kksilvery> Welcome back!
[18:01] <kksilvery> Did you take notes of what ArrayBolt shared here?
=== wodencafe is now known as wodencafedesade
[18:03] <pickanick> The unsuccessful connection is new yesterday, although in retrospect there were random disconnections that I  assumed with the fault of my ISP or their hardware. I did delete the wired ethernet interface, and re-added it, to no avail.
=== wodencafedesade is now known as WodenCafeDeSade
[18:04] <kksilvery> Sad!
[18:04] <kksilvery> Can you share the PC specs?
[18:05] <pickanick> specifically which specs?
[18:07] <kksilvery> Your PC or laptop specifications?
[18:07] <pickanick> i9900 64GB etc ?
[18:08] <pickanick> It's a dell 7070 micro , worked more or less for two years, but with periodic freezing of USB keyboard and mouse, Dell just replaced the motherboard Friday, it seemed to work Saturday, and Sunday the ethernet and wifi went crazy.
[18:10] <pickanick> ethernet is on the motherboard, wifi is I believe a removable chip that was not replaced, only transferred to new MB.
[18:12] <pickanick> I did an apt update shortly before the MB replacement: Commandline: apt upgrade; Install: systemd-hwe-hwdb:amd64 (249.11.1, automatic); Upgrade: udev:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), systemd-timesyncd:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), libpam-systemd:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), libsystemd0:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), libnss-systemd:amd64  (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), systemd:amd64 (249.11-
[18:12] <pickanick> 0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), libudev1:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), systemd-sysv:amd64 (249.11-0ubuntu3.4, 249.11-0ubuntu3.6), libspeechd2:amd64 (0.11.1-1ubuntu1, 0.11.1-1ubuntu2)
[18:14] <pickanick> How do I roll back an apt update just to eliminate this variable?
[18:15] <pickanick> kksilvery: I'm not sure what level of spec detail would be helpful.
[18:15] <kksilvery> https://askubuntu.com/questions/247549/is-it-possible-to-undo-an-apt-get-install-command
[18:15] <kksilvery> You can roll back the updates manually!
[18:16] <kksilvery> OptiPlex 7070 Micro desktop is an amazing PC.
[18:19] <pickanick> Yes, but it has been annoying with random freezes before and now this ethernet failure and iwlwifi hardware resets
[18:19] <pickanick> apt-undo upgrade ?
[18:19] <pickanick> Unable to locate package apt-undo
[18:21] <pickanick> hmm would need to use ppa:lkjoel/apt-undo , according to an answer from 2013.
[18:21] <kksilvery> sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:21] <kksilvery> Repeat the command until the network works.
[18:21] <kksilvery> You can update the software any time:)
[18:22] <kksilvery> I tried the 'sudo apt-get autoremove' in my laptop.
[18:22] <pickanick> autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no longer needed.
[18:22] <kksilvery> It works.
[18:22] <kksilvery> Try it.
[18:22] <pickanick> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[18:23] <kksilvery> Do one thing. Flash the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in a flash drive. And run the software in demo mode.
[18:23] <kksilvery> Find out whether the network is working smoothly on the demo version.
[18:24] <kksilvery> Then update the software in the demo version. Find out how the latest updates affects the network functions.
[18:24] <pickanick> great idea. Can you remind me how to install required firmware on first boot?
[18:25] <RocketSkates> That is a great idea.
[18:25] <kksilvery> Are you talking about flashing the OS in the USB drive?
[18:27] <pickanick> I assume the plan is to boot the live USB OS. Then may have to install wifi and other drivers
[18:28] <kksilvery> Ubuntu will install or use the basic drivers. You don't have to install network drivers in Linux OS :)
[18:28] <kksilvery> I never installed a proprietary driver in my Core i3 11th gen laptop, and older computers.
[18:29] <pickanick> I reckon it's not your hair that's silvery ;)  Will try
[18:30] <kksilvery> Silvery is a 400 years old name bestowed by an Indian King :)
[18:30] <pickanick> Here goes...
[18:33] <pick> hmm the wired connection is never used, how to turn it on?
=== pick is now known as pickanick
[18:34] <pickanick> the wired connection is "never used", how to turn it on?
[18:35] <kksilvery> Are you on Ubuntu?
[18:35] <pickanick> Kubuntu 22.04 USB
[18:35] <kksilvery> Try Ubuntu sir :(
[18:36] <kksilvery> We don't know if this is an issue with KDE only.
[18:36] <kksilvery> 1. If the network works with Ubuntu, then there is a problem with KDE.
[18:36] <kksilvery> 2. If the network fails to work on Ubuntu, then we have a faulty network chip.
[18:37] <kksilvery> 3. Try Wi-Fi.
[18:45] <pickanick> actually with a different cable and different router jack/port Ethernet is working off Kubuntu USB. However the iwlwifi Microcore  SW errors are detected.
[18:46] <pickanick> wired Ethernet appears stable. So this suggests some software setting or update to blame. will try Ubuntu next.
[18:48] <kksilvery> I never faced internet issues with Kubutu LTS on my AMD A4 (2014) notebook.
[18:48] <kksilvery> I have installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Realme Slim Core i3 11-gen notebook.
[18:49] <kksilvery> I noticed a couple of UI bugs, but I never had network issues, or any other issues.
[18:49] <kksilvery> Go for Ubuntu. I recommend what I tried or use.
[18:51] <pickanick> thanks, booting
[18:59] <pickanick> ok so Ethernet works also, and WiFi card has the same Microcode SW errors and "ieee80211 phy0 hardware restart was requested"
[19:00] <kksilvery> There's some issue with the network chip.
=== Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life
[19:01] <pickanick> it worked before. the tech was fumbling with it to put it back, I'm going to try to remove and clean the contacts.
[19:01] <kksilvery> I recommend you to buy Wi-Fi USB dongle as an affordable solution, if you don't want to go through repairs.
[19:02] <kksilvery> Like I said, the network chip might be dying, and it's showing signs of failure.
[19:03] <kksilvery> I never faced this issue on my PC, laptop and notebooks. LAN and Wi-Fi network worked flawlessly.
[19:03] <pickanick> however the Ethernet Jack is fine, but there must be something wrong with the current state of the OS
[19:06] <kksilvery> Download https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/82185/intel-ethernet-connection-i219lm/downloads.html
[19:06] <kksilvery> Choose Linux and install the Intel® Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack
[19:06] <kksilvery> I hope, this will resolve the issue.
[19:12] <pickanick> Thank you I will try this, but cannot do it immediately.
[19:13] <kksilvery> Good luck Pick A Nick buddy.
