ubottuPlease elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel.15:08

Guest49I just installed Kubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 5505. I need help for the following: 1. Touchpad drivers (for tap, scroll etc.) 2. Keyboard (Numpad and, if possible, the special keys as well) 3. Goodix Fingerprint reader. Help would be much appreciated.18:21
IrcsomeBot<bauchhaus> Guest49: for the touchpad, check the settings.18:36

user|75I just installed Kubuntu and it wont boot22:02
user|51The packages on Kubuntu:22.04 are snap by standart or there are an diference over Ubuntu:22.04?22:07
tsimpsonsame packages22:10
user|51Ok, but there are an diferent police about snaps?22:13
user|51In this forum, an user called Mina answer the same question saying that "You can use snaps under Kubuntu, but the default is apt." https://itsfoss.community/t/does-kubuntu-use-snap-as-default/766722:15
tsimpsonsnaps come from the snapcraft store, which is shared22:15
tsimpsonfirefox is a snap by default22:15
user|51Ok, but I want to avoid the snaps, principaly of Firefox.22:15
user|51This is one problem to me.22:16
tsimpsonwhy?22:16
user|51Managing one proprietary software that is imposed to me (to lawyers on Brazil) for digital certificates.22:17
user|51The path of the driver sometimes do not work properly...22:18
user|51So, this is not a huge problem normaly, using Debian, for example, but for the last version of the package safesignidentityclient it is an problem.22:19
tsimpsonyou can install it "manually" if you really need to, there are instruction on how to setup the mozilla apt repository here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux?utm_source=www.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=firefox-download-thanks#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions22:19
tsimpsononce that's set up, FF will always come from the mozilla repos. though you many need to remove the snap first22:20
user|51Maybe I shoud stay on debian to avoid these adaptations that are against the standarts of the distro...22:21
tsimpsondebian has always been less opinionated that *buntu, but that's the point22:23
user|51I tried to use MicroOS too, and use the Ubuntu:22.04 on an distrobox, but the snap package don't worked with the command distrobox-export, so I was wandering to migrate to Kubuntu.22:23
tsimpsonthe snap package is good for most users, everything is contained updated and you can't break it by installing a new version of a library22:24
tsimpsonbut that has some costs too22:24
user|51That proprietary software achor me on .deb distros (I prefer Debian), but the suport are always to Ubuntu.22:25
user|51anchor me*22:25
user|51Sometimes I cannot get the latest software because of the dependences.22:26
user|51Well, thank you for the aswers.22:30
tsimpsonthis is why containers are more popular, all the dependencies can be self-contained and isolated22:30
IrcsomeBot<Derek> YTHg22:31
user|51But the vendor of SafeSign doesn't provide the software in appimage, flatpak or snap, even the .deb are more or less a bad adaptation for who want to use linux.22:35
