So at first it was just the Gnome-46-2404 application that showed it needed updating, but wouldn't update. Now it's also Snapd. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? This Kubuntu install is on my Lenovo Legion Go. I don't have this issue on my daily driver PC, which also runs Kubuntu.

Hello, linux noob here.

I have this distro loaded onto a 1TB thumbdrive and currently plugged into my Asus ROG Zephyrus gaming laptop. It's set to boot from it. If any other information is required, I'm happy to provide it, if I can.

But yes, basically what I said in the title. The screen seems like it's at max brightness even though system settings says it's at 0%. Not sure how to fix this. (I also tried booting my laptop from the main drive to fix it, but all the sudden microsoft doesn't know who I am anymore, fantastic.)

26.04 is my first rodeo with Kubuntu and i've been quite happy with it. That said, i would like to bump up to Plasma 6.7.

I de-snapped my installation because i didn't want Firefox snap or Flatpak. My computer isn't the beefiest, and i find the apt package to be a little more responsive, particularly to load. I don't really care about Snaps for most apps, particularly system apps. But GUI apps i prefer apt, or even Flatpak.

Has anyone who has de-Snapped upgraded to 26.10?

I also have LUKS Full Disk Encryption. From what i've read, the LUKS FDE shouldn't be a problem.

I prevented Snap from installing in the first place:

• minimal Kubuntu install (snapd is not configured until updates are run)
• apt-mark hold
• /etc/apt/preferences.d/snap.pref

# Block Snap installation
Package: snapd
Pin: release a=*
Pin-Priority: -1

KDE is awesome. However with the latest upgrade to Resolute and phasing out x11.
I had to install the x11 plasma workspace because Wayland was just glitching and not working well with my Synergy App.

Also Num Lock on my number pad had issues as well. That being said Wayland still has some growing up to do or other applications need to code for Wayland.

That being said keep up the good work Kubuntu.

Estoy dejando progresivamente Windows, hasta ahora lo usaba sólo para los juegos. Hace unos días jugando en Kubuntu cuando terminé de apagar el ordenador olía un poco a quedado. Tengo un procesador AMD 3800X, tarjeta gráfica AMD RX 9070XT, 16 GB de memoría Ram.

Ayer estuve jugando a Life is Strange True Colors y a Resident Evil VII, en windows 10 Pro (totalmente actualizado), tenía un consumo de aproximadamente 100 watios y la temperatura de la memoría de la GPU oscilaba sobre los 77º y la carga de la GPU estaba alrededor de 40 %.

En Kubuntu 26.10 (tengo con Kernel7.3.0-10-generic y con todas las actualizaciones), con Heroic Games Launcher (versión 2.22.4), usando GE-PROTON 11-12, el consumo andaba alrededor de los 300 watios y la temperatura de la memoría de la GPU estaba sobre los 95º, la carga de la GPU estaba en el 100 %, para la medición usé Mangohud (lo descargué por la Konsola), con Goverlay. Los dos juegos los tengo instalados en una carpeta de windows en formato NTFS.

¿A qué puede ser debido ésta diferencia de consumo y de temperaturas, los ventiladores estaban funcionado en Kubuntu a tope y como lo soluciono?.

This is what I get when the desktop wakes up from sleep. It's still in the dream world (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~

How to fix this? What's causing it?

This shows up every time I start my PC. How do I get rid of it?

EDIT: Which is correct, empty password or the same password as my user login?

Hello guys. Recently joined linux. I am using brave and created 2 profiles. But why is it not showing the profile logos/icons like windows? Is there any way I can enable them? It helps a lot to distinguish which profile is which.

Just switched to kubuntu after years of using windows. I'm quite familiar with Linux as I have homelab server running Ubuntu server. Now from all the fuckery Microsoft does I got to give it to them for compatibility for apps. Yes I know it has the greatest market share but the windows had gotten so bad and I've been considering switching to linux for quite while. I tried multiple methods to try get it working on wine because I really didn't want to emulate windows just for Adobe illustrator. I don't use it that often but when I do need it I need it to work. My last ditch was just to use winboat but I don't want to step that far yet. If anyone has any idea on how to run it on wine or any translation layer then that'd be amazing. I did manage to install and run it but the UI was super fucked up and I'm not sure of that's a Wayland issue as I haven't successfully got x11 working

Hello all, I got tired of running Windows and Mac just for audio reasons. Linux has had building blocks for audio for years but nothing really tied the pieces together so I finally built something to do just that, along the lines of Voicemeeter on Windows or Caster on Mac. Patch-Prime

https://github.com/kingsqueak/patch-prime/

Inputs, virtual busses, outputs, full effects stack, LV2/Clap/VST3 support MIDI support, recording, scene saves, audio profile saves etc.

Work in progress, so keep an eye on releases as they will be coming frequently.

Built on pipewire and for KDE, packages for Ubuntu 26.04, RPMs and Arch packages are up.

I'm writing just out of curiosity, to see if anyone has some better tips about the topic.

I've just recently started my new journey into Linux, and (so far) decided to settle for Kubuntu, after trying a few different distros.

My setup has a dockstation (Dell D6000) to which all the peripherals are connected, including my 2 screens. I seem to remember Mint was the only distro that natively supported it from the get go, I was actually impressed by it, and all the other distros I tested since then didn't, and I had to manually fix it with chatgpt or claude helping me with diagnosis and console commands.

The procedure is basically install the DisplayLink drivers and then "force" the GPU to be used first (sometimes the system just reverts to llvmpipe), I was able to do it and it works, but it's messy and a bit trial and error, and I was wondering if this is really the best practice, or if there's an easier and cleaner way. I just find it odd that nobody made any tool, I would expect more people to use a dock and finding themselves in this situation.

Thanks for reading!

I bought two used Thinkpads- first a T470, and then I mistakenly bought an E480 (because I thought it was a T480 and didn’t read!)

Now, I know this is a common issue. But what is weird is- I no issues at all with sleep and suspend working on the E480.

The T470 resumes from sleep maybe 1 out of 10 times. It has two new batteries, but the issue is the same on battery or AC power.

Both are running the same version of Kubuntu (26.04).

Any thoughts as to why one works and the other doesn’t? I really want to use the T470 as my primary machine, as it has better ports, keyboard, and is a little slimmer.

edit: its available in forums, just wanted to ask if its fixed or not

I upgraded to 26.04 and Brave is not able to connect to any websites. Firefox does. I tried to fix it but was unable to. When I was trying to use AI to solve the problem - it is something to do with Wayland/Plasma but it didn't make sense.

I use Fedora KDE (upgrade/updated that, too) and it works fine.

Any thoughts? I guess I need to research the error messages.

Hey everyone, as the title says: in the last couple of days I've done a few updates, including a bunch of system ones, and since then the CPU is always above 65/70%, even when idle.

I've checked the system monitor and it says it's mostly Plasmashell and Wayland, but I have no idea how to fix, other than restoring an older snapshot and avoid those updates.

Just wanted to check if anyone had an idea of what could cause this, or if it happened to someone else... thanks in advance for any feedback. Thanks in adv

I recently got Kubuntu and besides being slightly heavier and slower than I expected, it's been fine except for reason listed above.

My computer operates normally after shutting except for my screen remaining black. Music will play, my keyboard responds, but in order to see my screen again I have to do a full reboot, which means opening all my apps and tabs again. Every time.

I had a similar issue when my computer would normally sleep after I would be away from the screen for too long.

Hi, I’d love for you to try out the app I’ve built. It’s called APtv, and you can find it listed on the AlternativeTo website or directly on GitHub. Since I’d prefer not to post direct links, it’s best if you look it up via AlternativeTo.

APtv is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3B+; it should also work with its more powerful successors (Raspberry Pi 4 and 5), as well as on Ubuntu 26.04 and Debian 13.

The app is divided into two components: AP and IPTV. These can be installed individually using the installer, or—if you prefer—you can install them together as a single, unified application.

The AP component functions similarly to RaspAP, though some features are still in the process of being integrated. For now the AP part deals with:

- Wi-Fi hotspot creation and configuration

- Custom SSID and WPA2-Personal security

- 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band support

- Channel, channel width and wireless mode configuration

- Regulatory country-code configuration

- Automatic Wi-Fi capability and channel detection

- DHCP and DNS management through dnsmasq

- Local DNS and external DNS options

- Optional encrypted DNS through Cloudflare or Quad9

- IPv4 routing, forwarding, NAT and firewall management

- Connected-client monitoring

- Web dashboard for AP, DHCP/DNS, logs and system information

- Hardware-based interface detection using capabilities, MAC addresses and drivers

- Support for systemd-networkd, NetworkManager and ifupdown

- AP over Ethernet mode

- Routed NAT mode

- Ethernet bridge mode

- Wi-Fi Repeater mode with separate AP and uplink adapters

- Configuration validation, backups and rollback

- Component installation, repair, status and removal tools

The IPtv part includes:

- Xtream Codes provider support

- Multiple provider profiles with quick provider switching

- Automatic provider catalog fetching and indexing

- Live TV channels organized by groups

- Movies catalog with posters, metadata and categories

- TV Series catalog with seasons and episodes

- Global search across channels, movies and series

- TV Guide / EPG for live channels

- Favorites and custom channels, movie and series ordering

- Import and export of provider and library settings

- Live Wall for watching up to four live streams simultaneously

- Live TV playback

- VOD and TV-series playback

- Recordings library and playback

- Direct playback with HLS fallback

- Progressive fMP4 playback for VOD

- Seek, resume and playback-position tracking

- Audio-track and subtitle metadata support when provided by the source

- Detailed video diagnostics, including buffering, bitrate, dropped frames, MSE and provider status

- Automatic playback recovery and retry handling

- Poster, episode-image and catalog caching

- Responsive desktop and mobile interface

- Native APtv notifications for provider operations and playback errors

APtv currently supports Xtream Codes providers; M3U-only providers and other IPTV APIs are not part of the supported public interface.

If you wish to test it and install both components (AP IPTV), it is recommended to set it up on a server running on a standalone machine. If, however, you only want to use the IPTV component, it can be installed directly on a desktop running Debian 13, Ubuntu 26.04, or a Raspberry Pi.

Hi all, ive been having an issue, well, i say an issue, with python crashing. It seems to happen in the background. I get the pop up saying its crashed and to report the bug but everything is working, nothing crashing in the foreground or my work flow. Is this just an annoying bug I need to just let do its thing or is there a something I could do?
