BluesKajHi all12:32
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> GM everyone!16:43
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Kicking the tires on oracular. (An Nvidia driver update killed  my 24.01 session after multiple failed attempts of Alt-f2/f3 command line rescue, I chose to test oracular instead.)16:48
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> So far, most everything is working. As Rik noted, main panel is during install.  Also, dolphin complains of missing konsolepart. I do not see it in the package list and it is listed as part of qt5 packages here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=konsolepart&mode=filename&suite=oracular&arch=any16:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> How do I determine if konsolepart has been migrated to qt6 and the debian/kubuntu packaging status?16:54
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> BTW, nvidia driver 560.35.03-0ubuntu0~gpu24.10.3 causes all kinds of issues with steam and wine on older hw.  If NVidia  fails to release a fixed driver prior to oracular release, we should mention in the release notes (see https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/560-release-feedback-discussion/300830/4)16:59
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> so far im okay with this driver .. (re @DarinMiller: BTW, nvidia driver 560.35.03-0ubuntu0~gpu24.10.3 causes all kinds of issues with steam and wine on older hw.  If NVidia  fails to release a fixed driver prior to oracular release, we should mention in the release notes (see https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/560-release-feedback-discussion/300830/4))18:24
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> last time only having prob with gnome but i managed to find the workaround18:25

-ubottu:#kubuntu-devel- Issue 11723 in mesa/mesa "Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display." [Opened]18:27
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> The 560 driver causes issues with both my old 1080 (desktop) and 960M (laptop) cards. I have yet to try it on my 3070M card.18:29
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> last time .. what i did is revert back to 55518:30
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> its freeze the plasma too18:30
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> last time .. what i did is revert back to 555 before i found the workaround18:31
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> using this ppa : https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/graphics-drivers/ppa/ubuntu/18:31
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 555 works with the 960M, but my 1080 needs the 550 for functionality.18:32
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> steam i havent tried .. (re @DarinMiller: BTW, nvidia driver 560.35.03-0ubuntu0~gpu24.10.3 causes all kinds of issues with steam and wine on older hw.  If NVidia  fails to release a fixed driver prior to oracular release, we should mention in the release notes (see https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/560-release-feedback-discussion/300830/4))18:32
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> owh (re @DarinMiller: 555 works with the 960M, but my 1080 needs the 550 for functionality.)18:37
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> My Lenovo laptop w/ 3070 card refuses to upgrade to 24.0, so I plan to install oracular in a few minutes and will test the 560 driver.18:38
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> nice 3070 ..ive got old quadro (re @DarinMiller: My Lenovo laptop w/ 3070 card refuses to upgrade to 24.0, so I plan to install oracular in a few minutes and will test the 560 driver.)18:39
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Side question: has anyone successfully installed into an existing LVM with the Kubuntu Calamares installer?  After several attempts on my old dell laptop, I finally gave up and removed the LVM.18:40
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> LVM install worked fine on Lenovo... strange. Rebooting now...19:14
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> My Lenovo w/ 3070 only likes the 560 driver if BIOS is set to Discrete Mode. Otherwise black screen on boot.19:53
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> in bios i still use hybrid (re @DarinMiller: My Lenovo w/ 3070 only likes the 560 driver if BIOS is set to Discrete Mode. Otherwise black screen on boot.)21:23
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> sorry late reply .. i was for finalizing my deck for tomorrow keynote at UbuCon Asia 202421:24
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Interesting that you can still use hybrid.21:24
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> What's your topic at UbuCon?  Where in Asia is it held?21:25
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> i seldomly put to discrete ... if i want it .. i run it through PRIME profiles then reboot (re @DarinMiller: Interesting that you can still use hybrid.)21:25

IrcsomeBot<myfenris> jaipur, india21:26
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Nice!21:26
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> my paper at summit this year doesnt have luck .. hopefully i can still be at summit ...21:27
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> my paper at summit this year doesnt have luck .. hopefully i can still be at summit with the BoF21:28
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> I am currently booted into discrete and when booted into discrete NVidia profile options are not available and as I said before, with the 560, hybrid mode black screens on boot. But unlike my other system, wine/steam run just fine. Very strange and inconsistent behavior between all of our systems.21:29
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> :( , maybe rollback to 555?21:30
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Regardless of the 560 driver, 24.10 is already a better across my machines than than 24.0.  All but one of the 5 systems I maintain had some sort of issue with 24.04 (including kernel and drivers).21:32
IrcsomeBot<myfenris> at least 1/521:48
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> 2 out 5 systems are now running 24.10 and aside from the NVidia driver and the missing konsolepart package (needed to open terminal from Dolphin), and missing wallpapers in Settings  I have not seen any issues.21:51
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Had to revert to the 555 drivers as suggested. Steam games would not run, but regular wine ran fine withe 560 driver.22:40
