22.04 was perfect when doing audio calls or recording audio. But 24.04 is incredible. I found mic and speakers were set at 100% so I reduced those and have it down to something bearable, but the feedback is still there. 22.04 was so much better. How do I sort this?

I'm on Dell Inspiron 15 3585

Thanks in advance.

Title. How do you fix this? TIA

Hello friends,

I’m testing the normal installation of Kubuntu 24.04 on a virtual machine for my next laptop, which I plan to use as my main distro. Of course, Snap is installed by default and I haven’t made any changes so far. However, I did enable Flatpak in the Discover settings.

After a couple of restarts, I noticed that all the Snap software packages disappeared when I tried to compare them in Discover.

Can someone help me understand what went wrong or where I might have made a mistake?

I got kernel error after choosing ‘try or install kubuntu’. Then i got curious and looked for other options(OEM install, kubuntu(safe graphics)) but all lead the same way and same error.

When you press any key it directs you to main installation page.

I have already tested it on a VM and absolutely love it, though I was wondering if there are things I should know before putting it on my main PC, like compatability issues, etc.
My specs:
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor, 3.40 GHz
64 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Is it useful to configure firewall in Kubuntu?

So I'm no noob to distrohoping and I have tried all the major players and small distros alike.

I normally bounce back to the main Ubuntu variant as that I'm most comfortable with.

Well I got bored last night and tried out kubuntu for a change. And it ended with a full install.

It's fast, stable and the sheer amount of customisation I can do with KDE is phenomenal.

There is a shit ton more apps in discover that is in Ubuntu own store and the choice of programs apps and games alike are huge for a buntu spin.

So I'm now a fully fledged kubuntu user and I'm going to stay for a while and maybe even try some customisation as never really dived into that aspect.

I'm having a blast with lowend gaming and actually using the libre office programs getting used to how they work instead of using Microsoft.

I'm extremely happy that I actually took the plunge and gave kubuntu a go. Even my gf that is not Linux literate in any degree can use the os perfectly fine for general usage of browsing, email checking and even using discover.

She was more amazed that I didn't have to pay a penny to use (buying a licence) and she wants a install on her pc when she's learned ABIT more.

Sorry for the long paragraph but thought I'd share my experience upto now of using this charming, stable os.

I have used kubuntu 24.04 before and switched to Fedora KDE for updated KDE plasma.Fedora KDE is working fine. But I have kind of weird obsession over Ubuntu LTS releases because I feel like LTS releases are best supported in terms of software availability and so on.

I want to go back to Kubuntu 24.04 LTS and stick with it. But one thing that concerns me is Kubuntu 24.04 stuck with KDE plasma 5.27.

KDE 5.27 was released over a year ago and almost all kde plasma development is prioritizing towards KDE 6 now. Kubuntu 24.04 is a LTS release so it won't have major kde version upgrade. And I am thinking that sticking with KDE plasma 5.27 for at least 2 years is not a good idea.

I also want to know how others think about?

It's nice to be home and it's good to see you've looked after the place.

My very first distro was Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. I did of course distro hop for many years as we do but generally gravitated towards KDE, from Mint to Neon and many things in between.

However, as we all know, the transition to Plasma 6 and Wayland hasn't always be smooth on many platforms so I found myself yearning stability; I'm old now and just want things to work.

So here I am, back after 17 years, and on first boot that glowing 'Kubuntu' splash made me smile, now a couple of months in running 24.04 and loving it.

Hi,

i tried to view the /tmp folder. whenever i view the folder contents, it keeps on creating file in the format dolphin-*.png image in the same /tmp folder. the generated png image was my second last desktop wallpaper.

i don't know why this png file is keep getting created whenever i view the /tmp folder. i don't know why this is happening.

hello people,

I am using Kubuntu now since about 2020 and I really need to install the minimal installation setup of kubuntu 24.04 LTS, because of those missing snap things that I don't need need/want.
But I notice that when I install it the minimal way, there is no Kubuntu icon on menu button. It's just the KDE Plasma logo.

how do I avoid this or how do you handle it that way or is there a way to make it back?

I switched to Kubuntu FT last year and I've been enjoying it quite a bit. My only gripe is I get these crashes of the desktop when I switch users but I've at least been able to work around that. When I first set it up, I tried out 24.10 but wayland made it damn near impossible to get both video cards to be functional. I could get it to see the card, but not use it.

Has anyone had any success recently on getting two video cards to work with Wayland?

Hello I would know how to make Kubuntu more robust and more stable, by remove apps/services ? disbale settings ? install apss ? other ?

Other way to describe my question : what we need to install/remove/disable/enable/etc after install Kubuntu to transform it into a more robust and more stable version for a regular user

Going to 24.04 and 24.10 was more tedious than previous Kubuntu installs. I couldn't just tell the installer to use the free space; I had to manually partition. I thought that the added effort was due to the laptop being for dual boot, until I decided to do a fresh install on my desktop. I hadn't used it in about a year, maybe more. Not only was guided partitioning not an option, manual partitions were not taking. I spent a couple of hours, where installing Kubuntu normally takes 15-20 minutes. I ended up giving up to find that KDE Neon installs beautifully.

FWIW, I started using Linux in 2004 after deciding that Windows XP was not for me. I never looked back, though I have kept a windows partition on my laptop for a couple of years to run some special software (that is beyond WINE).

Is anyone else having install issues?

Update 2: I noticed the log points me to check /var/lib/dkms/xone/v0.3-57-g29ec357/build/ and read make.log. I even managed to resolve it. sudo dkms remove xone/v0.3-57-g29ec357 --all and no more errors and upgrading follows through. I'm going to leave this thread up in case anyone has a similar problem in the future.

Update: after I returned from work today I visited my package manager and updated, did a reboot and was greated to Kernel 6.11.0-14-generic. Now If I do sudo apt upgrade this is what I am given in the log:

https://preview.redd.it/ljgeszb7ysfe1.png?width=1472&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ed7a509d803463fa5742c4b8219e3b94cd01b32

So a while ago, I was doing updates and upgrades, came across this issue initially:

https://preview.redd.it/gcnjfcnbblfe1.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=19fcccb2cd6465b0b94d2580fd56c5c264c6df26

Tried and failed to rectify this problem, which actually lead me to not being able to boot into Kernal 6.11.0-13-generic. I could boot into 6.11.0-09-generic and honestly I felt defeated and just wanted to use my PC that I just never resolved my initial problem.

Now I fear it has compounded and not sure if I need to go nuclear and just do a fresh install of Kubuntu 24.10 - Or if anyone can help me.

So in addition to the above problem with headers and etc, I did a reboot today so I could get GPU Recorder to record some gameplay for a review - And now my second display doesn't output, my main display is locked at 60HZ and Kubuntu doesn't even know what manufacturer my monitor is.

Should I save everyone the hassle and just go nuclear or is this recoverable?

I'm using the apt version of Firefox on Kubuntu 24.10 and I can't get WebGL to work at all. I have set both webgl.force-enabled and gfx.webrender.all to true and webgl.disabled to false, as well as switching between nvidia-driver-560-open (which is apparently the recommended driver for my system) and nvidia-driver-560. Switching between Use "recommended performance settings" and "Use hardware acceleration when available" in Firefox's settings also does nothing.

Going to WebGL Report tells me that "This browser supports WebGL x, but it is disabled or unavailable." for both WebGL 1 and WebGL 2. about:support says it's using software WebRender, and shows this for the driver renderers for both WebGL versions:

WebGL creation failed: 

* tryNativeGL ()

* Exhausted GL driver options. (FEATURE_FAILURE_WEBGL_EXHAUSTED_DRIVERS)

Going further down, a bunch of WebRender related things say they're blocklisted by env, which I'm guessing is the main issue here.

I don't remember the last time this worked, but I think it was when I was using the snap version with Kubuntu 24.04.1. I unfortunately can't recall if this ever worked with the apt version of Firefox though, so I have no clue if this was caused by me upgrading to Kubuntu 24.10 or switching from snap Firefox. My compositor is X11 and my GPU is a Nvidia GTX 1660 TI, if that helps.

Has anybody successfully installed and ran the pygpt AI client on their system?

I see that Kubuntu refuses to create one-letter hostnames:

Your hostname is too short.

Why? Is that a security issue, a potential name overlap concern, or something else?

I have a pair of inexpensive bluetooth headphones (redmi buds 6 active) and Im trying to connect them to a somewhat old laptop running Kubuntu 24.04 (all updated)

My laptop sees them and has even added the device as a trusted device and paired with it successfully

However, when I prompt it to connect to it, I get an error "br-connection-canceled"

Im kind of stuck, anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

I'm using Kubuntu 24.10 and my GPU is Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650. I have the latest proprietary driver installed. As of yesterday, whenever I tried to log into a Weyland session all I get is a black screen. It doesn't load at all. When I log into a x11 session though everything works fine. How can I fix this???

Hey guys. I want to use Kubuntu as my daily driver. But i have an Problem. I don‘t get drivers for my keyboard (Turtle beach swarm) Is there anything i can do? Btw. I wanted to ask: Does somebody know how many people use Kubuntu? Thx

I have tried using “sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration” and my /etc/default/keyboard content is as it should be. Yet still every time I start my pc. I have also tried setting it in the system settings by going to keyboard then layouts. But every single time I turn off my pc then start it again my keyboard layout is reset to US. So does anyone have any ideas on why?

Fixed it kinda. Here’s my solution to the problem, just done use Wayland use X11 instead

I wanted information on how Gdrive integrates and works with kubuntu, because I saw that by registering an account you can have access to Gdrive files. If there are other free and open source alternatives for Gdrive on kubuntu. Thanks

Host OS: Windows 11 (remote desktop with dual monitors)
Guest OS: Kubuntu 24.04 LTS

After many months of trials and errors, I finally found a workaround to get rid of the scrollbars every time I connect using "remote desktop" with a dual monitor setup on my host (Windows 11) that is already running KDE (Kubuntu 24.04 LTS) as a guest OS. 

First install the latest version of "autorandr":

git clone https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr.git

cd autorandr
sudo make install

In my case, the very first time VMware is started, the multi-monitor setup works without scrollbars (click the "full screen" button and then, the "cycle multiple monitors" button of the VMware toolbar). However, as soon as I disconnect "remote desktop" and reconnect, the scrollbars appear.

When you succeed to have a working monitor setup (without the scrollbars), save this setup with "autorandr" (ex: save it with the name "layout"): 

autorandr -s layout

From this point, whenever the scrollbars appear, click on the "cycle multiple monitors" button (VMware toolbar) until the mouse cursor looks to be synchronized with the elements on the desktop and then, to restore the monitor layout (without the scrollbars), type the following command:

autorandr -l common && autorandr -l layout

I just upgraded to 24.04 from 22.04 and cannot get the itch.io app to work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, but nothing. When I try to run it from the terminal it looks like it should work, doesn't show errors, but nothing happens.
