user|36anyone running 24.04?00:04
user|49plasma welcome center have software icons on page 4. blender and endless sky have broken links.00:24
IrcsomeBot<arangaran> i read somewhere that the problem lies in the AMD Radeon GPU driver (re @IrcsomeBot: <user|36> anyone running 24.04?)00:25
user|49running 24.04 since yesterday00:26
user|49arch linux screwed up big time because of upgrade00:27
user|49i had a problem with mouse cursor going through right edge. some nvidia issue. fixed by adding an option to grub.00:30
user|49initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init00:31
user|36?00:37
user|36...why is it touching it at all?00:38
user|49touching what? is that for me?00:51
user|49if i moved the cursor to right edge it disappeared :)00:51
nuxiluser|36, yes for a week+. and ofc they didnt do proper testing before releasing it.. :P a lot of amd rigs dont boot up without messing with grub.01:20
nuxiluser|36, remove quiet and splash from the linux line in grub.. when you boot up.. hold shift so you get the grub menu up. press E on Kubuntu. and edit the Linux line. press F10 to boot.01:25
nuxiluser|36, once you have booted. you can do perm changes to grub by editing its config. i have not tried it, but you can try and add "amdgpu" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules then run sudo update-initramfs -u01:29
nuxilremember to run update-grub if you edit the linux line.01:30
user|36nuxil I'm currently trying a fresh install of 23.10 and upgrading it to 24.04 (near the end now)01:58
user|36if that works i will try what you have suggested01:58
nuxilyou dont need that02:00
nuxiljust edit the grub and you can boot. no need to mess about with all that.02:00
nuxiluser|36, you probably get a new kernel anyway. so i suspect you get the same problem even if you upgrade.02:01
nuxiluser|36, its plymount thats causing the black screen from what i can tell. the graphic driver is not ready,properly inited, and plymount just sits and wait for it, so you just end up with a black screen.. with no fallback.02:03
user|36yup. just tried "advanced boot options" and then "boot normally" and its fine02:17
nuxilnice02:33
valorieuser|36: we put out the call for testing and lots was done03:01
valorieif you don't file a bug report it may not get fixed.....03:01
valorieit takes all of us in the community to make a good release, so please keep filing those BRs!03:03
IrcsomeBot<Nero2070> Anyone running waydroid in the current version of kubuntu?05:18
arraybolt3@Nero2070: you'll need to use the Wayland session to run Waydroid, you can install it with `sudo apt install plasma-workspace-wayland`.06:19
arraybolt3(The alternative would be to install a compositor that can run under the X11 session like Weston, and then run Waydroid inside that - I have done this, but it doesn't work very well.)06:20
IrcsomeBot<Zebraherz> Could you please explain exactly how to create a bug report that is not about "packages", but about problems that cannot be submitted via ubuntu-bug. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't know how. (re @IrcsomeBot: <valorie> it takes all of us in the community to make a good release, so please keep filing those BRs!)07:21
valorieah! I would report the problem directly to the kubuntu devel team, either in the #kubuntu-devel channel, or to the Kubuntu-devel mail list07:24
valoriealso you can use ubuntu-bug kubuntu or kubuntu-desktop07:24
valoriethe ML is probably best since that way everyone sees it and you can send logs, etc. if necessary07:25
valoriesince this is an LTS and we're supporting it for 3 years, it's important to fix problems as they arise07:26
valorieeven while the plasma6 packages are being uploaded for the next release it07:27
valoriein about 5 months07:28
valorie@Zebraherz thank you for asking07:28
IrcsomeBot<Zebraherz> Ok, where do I find that kubuntu-devel channel and where do I find the Kubuntu-devel mail list??07:32
arraybolt3Zebraherz: The kubuntu-devel channel is on IRC, on libera.chat (you can access it via libera.chat's webchat if you don't have an IRC client).07:42
arraybolt3(You're actually talking to someone on the #kubuntu IRC channel right now, but you're using the Telegram bridge, and I don't know if #kubuntu-devel can be accessed via Telegram or not.)07:42
valorieoh but we're on matrix too07:42
arraybolt3but anyway, https://web.libera.chat/, plop "#kubuntu-devel" into the "Channel" box on that page, set your nickname to "Zebraherz" (or whatever else), and click "Start" and that will get you there.07:43
valorieI used to use telegram but have gotten rid of it07:43

IrcsomeBot<williamconna> Why does it take so long to load during the upgrade in Discover, specifically when waiting for the password input confirmation to perform the upgrade in Kubuntu 24.04 (KDE Plasma 5.27.11)? 🤔11:27

iomari891greetings, mu 23.20 desktop is black and right click does nothing. The panel also i no longer visible. I had to install cairo-desktop be be functional. What could have gone wrong?12:17

BluesKajHi all14:01
paddyfiomari891: kubuntu 22.10 is no longer supported, please install a new version14:06
Jim`Any idea why I'd be getting static over the speakers once in a while and didn't in Windows? All *Buntu problem14:23
JeffHIs there a kubuntu version that supports the Mac m2?19:39
valorieJeffH: dunno, but why not burn an ISO to a thumb drive and check?19:41
valoriemodern kubuntu will work on all but really old machines, in general19:42
valorieby which I mean 32-bit machines19:43
JeffHI don't see any isos that appear to support arm19:43
IrcsomeBot<Zebraherz> Asahi Linux. But it`s Fedora (ARM) (re @IrcsomeBot: <JeffH> Is there a kubuntu version that supports the Mac m2?)19:43
bpromptJeffH: let me translate valorie , unless your machine is from the Mesozoic Era, then it has a good chance kubuntu will work on it19:43
valoriefor arm, there are ubuntu isos that will work, and I've seen some kde software on arm19:45
valoriebut possibly not plasma as a whole19:45
oerheksyou might with an app https://mac.getutm.app/  >> https://medium.com/@shubhjain10102003/install-linux-ubuntu-20-04-on-m1-m2-mac-silicon-de1992d5fa2619:46
valorielike, even on puppy linux, some KDE software runs well19:46
oerheksjust a VM manager19:46
valoriebut as I say, burning an ISO is the way to check19:47
* valorie -Spock says live long and experiment19:48
bprompt!tias19:49
bpromptJeffH: to  be honest, I don't see one, for Kubuntu that is, I do see one for Ubuntu though19:56
bpromptJeffH: however you can simply install the Ubuntu arm ISO, and then install the kde desktop, and you got Kubuntu in essence19:57
JeffHbprompt: yeah, that's what I'm going to do.  Does ubuntu default to wayland?19:57
bpromptJeffH: I think so, but I think you do have a choice of either, however it'd default to wayland19:58

YonyonI'm using kubuntu 24.04.  Discover wants to do some 31 updates, mostly LibreOffice, but it needs to remove linux-image-6.5.0-35-generic to do so.  It fails with this:22:34

YonyonError while installing package: installed linux-image-6.5.0-35-generic package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 12622:34
