[Bug 2065074] Re: WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. «Hard blocks» gone. «Soft blocks» for Bluetooth only.

2024-05-11 Thread Bas Roufs

UPDATE AND SUMMARY 11 MAY 2024, 12.00 CEST.


Be reassured. Right now, I am writing this message under my veranda in my 
garden, while using Wi-Fi. Thanks God, this is possible now. Hallelujah!  The 
core issue in this context is a tiny switch at the left front side of my laptop 
- Lenovo X230, product Name: 2325AZ8, Serial Number: R9XTT6X.  I bought this 
device late March 2024. Then, I thought the switch was related to opening and 
closing the lid of the laptop. After watching one of the videos you showed me 
yesterday, it became clear to me that the switch was related to turning off and 
on Wi-Fi. The hard block has been caused by the switch in the off position. The 
devil is in the detail.


About Bluethooth... I have checked this page

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1465957/bluetooth-manager-not-
connecting-to-devices-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-23-04

This story is a good summary of my Bluethooth experience about one month
ago, when I was still at Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS along with the same laptop
at which I am working now. Also in my case, connections with «trusted»
devices were constantly being interrupted. I have carried out the
advises I found there - however, it does not or not yet work out.

Like this, I have tried to get rid of the «soft block» that still
prevents Bluetooth from working properly.


bas@Camino:~$ rfkill unblock 0
bas@Camino:~$

Let's test now...

bas@Camino:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Wi-Fi is absolutely fine now. Bluetooth - no hard block, but the «soft»
block still persists.

Now, I try this

Systemsettings -> "Bluetooth" -> "Enable"
and then either "Add New Device…" or "Configure…".

I also tried the same by clicking the Bluethooth applet right down
under.

In both case: no success yet. I have tried to enable Bluetooth several
times like this. Now, I had a device with me I wanted to add
However, I already get stuck when trying to enable Bluetooth. «Adding a
new device» is still not possible.

Provisional conclusion for now Wi-Fi works absolutely fine now. No hard 
blocks and also no soft blocks.
The hard blocks have been removed for Bluethooth too. However, I still do not 
yet manage to get Bluethooth enabled by lifting it's «soft» blacks.

«Soft blocks» for Bluetooth only.

2024-05-10 Thread Bas Roufs

WIFI issue solved, however Bluetooth not yet.

This video has helped to solve the WIFI issue:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvzFYP8WjXo

A tiny switch at the front side of the laptop had turned off the WIFI
function. I switched the switch back to the on positition - from that
moment on, it was no problem any more to enable WIFI.

Terminal tests points in the same direction..

bas@Camino:~$ iw dev

bas@Camino:~$

sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
bas@Camino:~$

Now I check both WIFI and Bluethooth...

bas@Camino:~$ rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

For WIFI ALL blocks have been eliminated now - the hard and the soft
ones. There is no hardware problem anymore that blocks possibilities to
enable WIFI.Software settings are also OK now apparently.

Bluetooth has no hard blocks anymore - no problems from the point of
view of hardware. However, there are still one or a few problems in the
realm of software - soft blocks.

Now, I focus more on Bluetooth.

bas@Camino:~$ bluetoothctl -v
bluetoothctl: 5.72
bas@Camino:~$

Apparently, there is Bluetooth software present.

Another test delivers the following output

bas@Camino:~$ systemctl status bluetooth

Now, I break down this output in two parts

This is the first, upper part

«(...)

This looks goods apparently, unless some expert perceives here a
problem.

Now, we take a look at the second and last part of the output report

SUMMARY SO FAR:

WIFI and Bluetooth works at Kubuntu 22.04.4. LTS. However, it does not
at Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. I have been using both LTS systems at exactly the
same laptop with the same BIOS settings.

WHAT TO DO NEXT TO GET BACK WIFI AND Bluetooth?
===

Apparently, both WIFI and Bluetooth got hard blocked  after a fresh install of 
Kubuntu 24.04 LTS at my laptop.
Kubuntu 22.04.4. was a fresh install of early April, at the same laptop, with 
the same BIOS settings. In the BIOS, there is no password or security lock. 
It's simply default stuff.

I have no clue what to do next.

2024-05-07 Thread Bas Roufs

Public bug reported:

Cannot enable WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.
«Hard blocks» or something else?

Update from the bug reporter, Bas Roufs, Tuesday 7 May 2024, at about
12.30 CEST, Mook, near Nijmegen, The Netherlands:

For:

Expert users and developers of Kubuntu and/or other flavours of *Ubuntu,
who know about WIFI and Bluetooth - especially in connection with the
package rfkill.

Cc.:

KDE Experts.


Previous versions of this report I have submitted here:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

KDE experts who have replied me there, emphasised that the issue needs
to be resolved «downstream», in my case at the level of *Ubuntu.


INTRODUCTION.


@ Kubuntu and other *Ubuntu expert users.

After checking the settings related to WIFI (and Bluetooth), I ended up
filing a bug report at KDE:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

According to the feedback I got from KDE experts after doing so, the
problem is real. However, those experts say it cannot be solved at the
side of KDE. It needs to be solved «downstream», so at the side of
Kubuntu and other Ubuntu flavours in our case. That's why, i finally
file this bug report.


THE PROBLEM IN BRIEF.


So far, I do not manage to get WIFI enabled by the useful steps at a fresh 
install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, at  this laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, along with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. A quick internet 
search clarifies me that I am not the only one who deals with this problem.

I do work now with wired internet. However, this wired connection does
not help me so far to get the WIFI enabled. The same applies for
Bluetooth. Neither GUI approaches, nor command line solves anything so
far.

Ticking the box for enabling WIFI is not possible. The same applies for 
Bluetooth. Check the screenshots I send along with this bug report.
It's about the graphical check down under - fruitlessly trying to tick the box 
to enable WIFI or the one to enable Bluetooth.
At each screenshot, you can see a red arrow pointing at a WIFI or Bluetooth 
check box that cannot be ticked.

Here, I go through the screeenshots that I send along this bug report:

1. Mouse at WIFI connection corner right down under. I indicate the
place to look at by means of a red arrow.

1a. Focus at  mouse pointer at WIFI connection corner right down under.

2. Enabling WIFI not possible. The red arrow and the mouse pointer point
at the box that cannot be ticked with a view to enabling WIFI.

2a. Detail - Enabling WIFI not possible. A more detailed look at the
corner where the red arrow points at the box that cannot be ticked.

3. Bluetooth disbabled. The red arrow and the mouse pointer both point
at the area where bluetooth should need to be enabled.

3a. Impossible to get Bluetooth enabled. After the click indicated by image 3, 
I end up here The button aimed at enabling Bluetooth cannot
be toggled. This button is being indicated by the mouse pointer and the red 
arrow.

A few terminal checks so far do not solve the problem. However, more
info comes to the surface. Take a look at the next paragraph.

I have been trying such a solution. However, it did not work out. Moreover,
at some point, I got too many complications.  The most important one: the
system was not able any more to read a 2 GB USB stick and 4 TB external
hard drives = 3 items I use fore backup purposes. When stumbling on those
complications, I made a few emergency backups via WETRANSFER, after which I
did the following First, I reformatted and repartitioned the SSD with
Gparted at System rescue at a Ventoy USB. Then, I made a fresh manually
partitioned install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, the most recent LTS.  About this,
I'll tell more in other posts.

You might be right about this too. It was some emergency solution after me
remarking that a direct upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 is not yet possible. It
became clear to me that this will be possible on 15 August 2024, after the
issue of Kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. I could not wait till that moment.

Yours.

Wanna add one thing.

Thanks God, I DID manage to read and write my 128 GB Ventoy USB. I already
copied the ISO to it from Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.I

However, I cannot read the 2 and 4 GB USB devices I am using for backup
purposes. This is one of the reasons, I have decided to carry out a fresh
install of the latest Kubuntu LTS at my system.

[Bug 2063952] [NEW] Upgrade problem caused by many mistakes and broken packages.

2024-04-27 Thread Bas Roufs

Public bug reported:

Upgrade problem caused by many mistakes and broken packages.

Bug report 27 April 2024.in

From Bas Roufs for Kubuntu developers.

Mook, near Nijmegen, NL, 27 April 2024.

Hello Everybody.

Only a few weeks ago, I installed Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS at my Lenovo
Thinkpad X230 i5, 4GB RAM and 250 GB SSD at present. In a few weeks from
now, I'll go to a computer repair shop that will add an extra SSD of 1
GB and 2 DDR 3, 1600 Mhz memory banks - with a view to getting 16 GB
RAM.

My idea was the following

STEP 1.
Prepare a system with the all the packages and languages modules I need for 10 
languages - spell and grammar check, etc.

STEP 2.
Upgrade from Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS to Kubuntu 24.04 LTS.
However, it has become clear to me that a direct, automatic upgrade from the 
previous LTS to the current one is only possible after the issue of Kubuntu 
24.04.1 LTS on 15 August 2024. This is way too late for me and in the middle of 
my holiday period.
So, I have considered the option to make first an upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10, 
after which I would upgrade to 24.04. However, this attempt ended up in many, 
many complications as summarised here.

STEP 3.
Attempt to prepare a data only backup via Backintime or Luckybackup.
However, Backintime seemingly caused complications as summarised below.

STEP 3A.
Attempt to prepare a system backup via Timeshift. However, this is too 
complicated for now - I'll start using Timeshift after getting the new 1 TB 
SSD. The old 250 GB SSD, I want to use for the Timeshift system-backup. My 
practice experience makes me clear that Timeshift is NOT AT ALL good for 
migration from one disk or one laptop to another.

STEP 3B.
Prepare migration from the smaller to the bigger SSD: via a compressed 
CloneZilla ISO image of the whole SSD at a Ventoy USB. Like this, I wanted to 
port all the packages, language modules, etc. to the bigger, new SSD.
However, because of the complications summarised below, I need to make a fresh 
new install of, in this case, Kubuntu 24.04 LTS even before getting the hard 
ware upgrades: the extra SSD and RAM memory. With the language modules, 
packages, etc., I need to start again after fresh-installing «Noble Numbat».

On the other hand, I stick to the plan to create a CloneZilla ISO: a
compressed version of the contents my whole small 250 GB SDD. Like this,
I want to get all the language settings, etc. to the new configuration
after getting the new 1 TB SSD.

STEP 3C.
After getting the new SSD and RAM memory Installing the whole system and 
all data from the CloneZilla ISO.

COMPLICATIONS EVER SINCE THURSDAY 25-04-2024.

After installing Backintime, for the data only backup, the system does not 
'see' anymore my 4 TB external hard disks, formatted in EXT4. Also a 2 TB USB 
stick formatted in FAT32 can not be used any more. Note - I am using USB 3.0 
ports.
So, I uninstalled again Backintime. However, this uninstallit ment action does 
not help. My system still does not "see" USB devices.

That's why, I have copied some provisional data backups to Wetransfer.
ASAP after fresh-installing Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, I'll retrieve my recent
data from there.

On Thursday, Kubuntu 24.04 LTS has been released. However, I do not manage to 
upgrade to it. That's why, I did several attempts to upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10, 
prior to upgrading to the newest LTS version. However, because of my ppa 
backports, I was not able to do an upgrade.
So, I have removed the backports and also Flatpak - via the package managers at 
my system.

However, those efforts did not help. Several attempts to upgrade to
23.10 ended up like this:

«(...)

[Bug 1217959] Re: 'metadata' file not found when creating backup ("Could not restore ‘/home/user /.cache/deja-dup/metadata’: File not found in backup"

2019-02-08 Thread Bas Roufs

Working at a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS in February 2019 - at a 
Lenovo X220, with a i5 processor and a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD, together with 
a 4 TB external HD, "WD My Passport". However, I still stumble upon the same 
bug. However, I seemingly manage to work around it by acting as follows:
TERMINAL >> sudo apt-get purge deja-dup duplicity > sudo apt-get autoremove > 
sudo reboot now > after the reboot: TERMINAL >> apt-get install deja-dup 
duplicity > sudo deja-dup.

On one hand, deja-dup has been making a first back-up ever since I hit
the "sudo-deja" commando - now, a few hours ago.

On the other hand, I got this terminal feedback in the first minutes
after hitting the "sudo deja-dup" commanend.

bas@Viaconsensus-iter:~$ sudo deja-dup

** (org.gnome.DejaDup:2519): CRITICAL **: 14:34:51.229: string_contains: 
assertion 'self != NULL' failed

** (org.gnome.DejaDup:2519): WARNING **: 14:35:56.153:
AssistantOperation.vala:904: Error calling StartServiceByName for
org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached

After "Timeout was reached", deja-dup seemingly started the backup
process that is still ongoing.

I keep you posted here on my experiences.

Yours,
Bas G. ROufs.

[Bug 1573755] Re: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04

2016-12-20 Thread Bas Roufs

Hello Everybody.

At this dead keys problem, I stumble upon now - however, so far, just in
LibreOffice. Ever since a few weeks, I work at a fresh install of
Kubuntu 16.04 - along with KDE Plasma 5.6.5, installed via the Kubuntu
ppa backports. Dead keys work in all applications except LibreOffice -
version 5.1.4.2. I am using the keyboard "USA International". A
character like ä is no problem in most of the applications. They same
applies for e.g. the double quotation mark (") - the key that needs to
be pressed first in order to get ä. However, in Libreoffice in my
configuration as summarised here, signs like " and ä do not show up. I
have similar problems with characters like à, é, ë, ñ. č, etc. Also
signs like `, ~ or ' do not show up in Writer or any other Libreoffice
application. It does not matter whether I work in Dutch, English,
Italian, French, German or whatever - the problem remains the same -
however, as I said, just in LibreOffice.


The only workaround I have found so far is editing a text in another 
application (Kate, BlueFish or whatever) and copy-pasting it into LibreOffice.  
The workaround mentioned in comment 6 does not work here. I DO manage to invoke 
libreoffice from the command line -  "libreoffice" does end up in the following 
sequence:



bas@Viaconsensus-transit:~$ unset XMODIFIERS && libreoffice &
[1] 5908
bas@Viaconsensus-transit:~$ W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated

W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments
X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
  Major opcode: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
  Resource id:  0x7c02342




However, the problem is not being fixed like this.

Variants like "libreoffice4.2" or "libreoffice5" do not produce any result.
On the other hand - the simple command line command "libreoffice", without 
anything else, is already enough to invoke that application. During my main 
working session of today, Tuesday 20 December 2016, I have done so by purpose. 
Here is the report I get from this working session.

Does someone know any other fix or effective workaround, apart from
copy-paste?

I have had the same problem in Kubuntu 14.04. I have purged mysql 5.5.
in my case; when doing so, mariadb 5.5. have been installed
automatically. Now, everything from Kontact seems to work again, except

[Bug 1576042] Re: Firefox 46 update causes theme errors

2016-07-02 Thread Bas Roufs

In the mean time, someone at the Kubuntu users mailing list has pointed me at a 
simple, but effective workaround for users of Kubuntu 14.04: 
SYSTEM SETTINGS > Application Appearance > GTK > Select a GTK 3 theme > switch 
from from "Ogygen-GTK" to "default". After this, close and restart Firefox. 
Now, the tooltips have a yellow background and black fonts - not the utmost 
beautiful solution, but it works for now.

2016-07-02 Thread Bas Roufs

At Firefox 47 along with Kubuntu 14.04 and KDE 4.13.3, the unreadable
tooltip problem persists.

This blog points at some seemingly effective workaround:
https://ashonit.blogspot.nl/2016/06/fix-kde-unreadable-tooltip.html?showComment=1467471107634#c4584050345359460771

However, I do not yet manage to find the so-called "Colors - KDE Control
Panel" - the dialogue needed to invoke this workaround.

Yours.

Re: [Bug 1256591] Re: The system is unable to read from a PTP camera.

2014-04-09 Thread Bas Roufs

Hello John and Everybody
 I first noted this bug whist testing on Kubuntu pre-prelease on
 12/10/2013.  I am now checking the same on 14.04. The bug appears to be
 fixed.

Will the bug fix you refer to just come together with Kubuntu 14.04? Or is it 
already possible to get it in 13.10 - probably together with the latest KDE 
version  I can get via the regular backport ppa? 

At some moment later this week or next week, I will test your bug fix (attempt) 
at the 13.10 main system and/ or at some 14.04 test partition. However it may 
be, thank you very much for your efforts to fix the bug!

Respectfully Yours,

Bas G. Roufs.

[Bug 1256591] Re: The system is unable to read from a PTP camera.

2014-04-08 Thread Bas Roufs

Hereby I confirm from my side findings and workarounds related to this bug.  I 
am using Kubuntu 13.10  along with KDE 4.11.5. At present, my camera is a Canon 
Powershot SX270HS. However, with two other compact camera's I have been using 
recently, I have have exactly the same experience: 'Fujifilm' and 'Traveller'. 
When attaching some camera, the device notifier does show it. However, Gwenview 
and Dolphin only will show the contents of it's SD card after invoking Dolphin 
via the terminal - 'sudo dolphin'.  
There are two other 'workarounds' to get the SD card contents shown. Digikam 
still works, also in normal mode with the camera attached. A second 
'workaround' is simply taking out the SD card out of the camera and putting it 
into the SD card reader of the laptop. However it may be, I still prefer access 
to the photo files directly via a USB cable between the camera and the 
computer.  That's why, I hope this bug will be fixed somehow.

[Bug 1243733] Re: PrtScrn button does not produce screenshot in kubuntu saucy

2014-01-10 Thread Bas Roufs

At present, I have 2 laptops with Kubuntu 13.10 as primary system  - in
both cases freshly installed via exactly the same manual insttall
procedure. At one of them, an Asus Eee PC 1001 HA, K Snapshot works
perfectly well when hitting the printscreen button. However, on my HP
Pavilion dm1, nothing happens when hitting the prt sc button from the
Kubuntu 13.10 partition: so, at that machine, the problem effects me
like in the case of Sergio Callegeri.

Have a good weekend. 
Respectfully yours,
Bas G. Roufs.

[Bug 1174689] Re: Nvidia/Dual screen - No Taskbar/Kdemenu on default install Kubuntu 13.04

2013-08-19 Thread Bas Roufs

The  bug dealt with here still effects me - at two netbooks with Kubuntu
13.04. However, in both cases, I successfully used the 'workaround'
explained at this page.  Thanks, Philip!

[Bug 1014893] Re: NetworkManager applet is not responding to anything, but keeps prompting me for wireless password

2012-07-05 Thread Bas Roufs

My problem is quite similar to the one of Dima, the colleague who has filed
this bug. That's why, I have confirmed it.
In several preceding Kubuntu editions, KNetworkManager functioned quite well -
both wired and wireless. Unlike Dima, I often need wireless connections at the
machine I am working on right now: a HP Pavlion dm 1 netbook, 32 bits, Kubuntu
12.04 along with KDE 4.8.4. With this configuration, I do have difficulties
getting reliable WIFI connections. Often, the system keeps configuring the
interface or setting the network-address. Sometimes, the system keeps asking
for a password already given in several times. Like in the case of Dima, this
even happens when I am working with a wired connection.

By means of a few workarounds I do get connected via WIFI - however,
it sometimes costs a lot of time and effort.

A few indications elsewhere at the internet possibly aim at a Linux Kernel
problem. Someone who replied my question on this issue at the Kubuntu user
forum, replied:
I *think* I read something yesterday which said that the problem was in the
kernel and that upgrading the kernel to
version *-26 got the problem solved.
So far, I did not find exactly the article he may be pointing at. However, a
few recent comments on WICD point in the same direction: see
https://launchpad.net/wicd, under the heading Recent posts.
Those comments aim at similar password and connection problems when using WICD
- a package with the same functionality as KNetworkmanager.
Now, I am working with WIFI - with no interruptions so far. Before the reboot
preceding this session, I did download and install a bunch of updates. However,
I am not sure whether I already installed version *-26 of the kernel or
anything else with a relevant bug fix. I will report my findings here after a
few days.
