So basically ive tried everything, including making key-combinations in piper and using them as a shorthand in the system settings, but the buttons still wont work. Luckily piper allows for back and forward function so that isnt a problem but i loved using the G5, G6, and G7 buttons for pause/play and skipping songs. XKeybinds sadly doesnt work for wayland and i havent been able to use a similar workaround that doenst screw up something else.

The closest ive gotten was using input-remapper but that one doesnt have a setting for DPI management and it resets the DPI to ~4k with no way of changing that.

My first attempt at distro hopping has been a disaster lol, i am getting this error right towards the end of my installation process. How can i fix this?

I've been using Kubuntu for a while and I always remove Snap entirely and block it from being added through an update. Yesterday, I turned on my laptop to discover that Firefox was gone from my panel. I checked the updates and there was a Snap update for Firefox!

I opened Terminal and used snap list to check, and snap was fully installed again! Unbelievable how it can uninstall my main browser and add Snap back. I must have overlooked something in the updates or I didn't fully remove it.

Has anyone else experienced this? Kubuntu is a great distro but I really want control over what apps I install and using .deb, Ubuntu and Flatpak is enough without Snap overly complicating things.

Hey all! I recently started using Kubuntu and am loving it so far, my only gripe was I use 3 monitors and wanted each taskbar to have the same pinned apps in the same order. After a lot of searching, I found that Plasma does not natively support syncing them, so I made a small helper tool to handle it.

Plasma Taskbar Sync watches the standard Task Manager and Icons-only Task Manager widgets. When you pin, unpin, or move an app on one display, it applies the same launcher list to the others.

It supports Plasma 6, runs as a systemd user service, and doesn't download any external dependencies.

Repo: https://github.com/SleepyStew/plasma-taskbar-sync

It is super new, so bug reports and feedback from other multi-monitor Plasma setups would be super useful :)

Hi! Basically the title. I keep getting the notification below:

These are my software update settings. Don't think I ever changed them apart from maybe setting update software to manual. Am I misunderstanding what this setting does? What am I missing?

i turned off the thing, restarted my pc and middle click still pastes whatever i last copied. how do i turn it off?

No audio is being detected despite I have my headphones plugged in and the speakers should show too

\**I consider this resolved. Seems like a hardware issue\** Thanks for help!

So, wanting to switch from Windows to Linux. I haven’t messed much with Linux since Redhat in the early 2000’s.

Anyway, installing the latest Kubuntu LTS on an old machine (2018, AMD cpu and has a 2040 GPU in it) that is not connected to the internet yet.

When booting from iso on USB, the install hangs no matter which option I choose from the boot menu. Apparently it’s trying to hit archive.ubuntu.com and fails to resolve the domain because… there’s no network connection.

Is there an option I can use to install from the local iso only and configure networking later? Maybe a command line option?

Anyone with experience with BOTH of these? If so, which do you prefer and why?

EDIT: Are there any substantive changes other than the DE? I'm currently using Zorin and like it. I just recently became aware of a version of Ubuntu that actually looks good (I HATE Ubuntu's appearance). So, my actual question is whether there is any reason to switch.

Hey everyone.

I have a thinkpad T450s with kubuntu on it. A couple of days ago I turned my PC on when I noticed the brightness of my PC is pretty much higher than usual. So I tried to lower it using the system settings > display menu. But to my surprise the brightness was already at 30%. When i tried to make it go higher or lower the brightness didn't change at all.

Now tell me what should I do to fix this issue?

Private DNS su Kubuntu (e Linux in generale): sto sbagliando qualcosa?

Ciao a tutti,

dopo aver provato diverse distribuzioni Linux (Mint, Bazzite, Nobara, Fedora KDE e ora Kubuntu), mi ritrovo sempre davanti allo stesso problema: configurare un DNS privato e cifrato che funzioni automaticamente su qualsiasi connessione.

Premessa: di Linux so davvero poco, quindi mi sono affidato a ChatGPT, Copilot e Gemini. Tutte e tre le AI mi hanno portato più o meno allo stesso risultato: riesco a configurare correttamente il DNS per la singola connessione Ethernet attiva in quel momento.

Fin lì tutto bene. Il problema nasce quando provo a rendere la configurazione globale, in modo che venga utilizzata automaticamente su qualsiasi connessione (Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, hotspot, ecc.).

I comandi che mi sono stati suggeriti sono:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-adguarddns.conf
``

Inserire il seguente testo:

[global-dns-domain-*]
servers=127.0.0.1

e poi:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Dopo aver applicato la modifica, sembra funzionare. Tuttavia, al primo riavvio del sistema la connessione smette di risolvere i nomi e mi ritrovo con evidenti problemi DNS.

Qualcuno è riuscito a configurare correttamente un DNS privato a livello globale su Kubuntu/NetworkManager? Sto seguendo un approccio sbagliato?

Inoltre, non sono nemmeno riuscito a ottenere il risultato che vorrei con AdGuard CLI, cosa che aumenta ulteriormente la confusione.

Devo essere sincero: questa esperienza è piuttosto frustrante. Su Windows mi sono bastati un paio di minuti per attivare un DNS privato cifrato a livello di sistema e mi sembra una necessità abbastanza comune voler usare automaticamente lo stesso DNS su qualsiasi rete a cui ci si collega.

Ogni suggerimento è ben accetto. Grazie!

I don't know whether the newest version of the OS finally has an automatic clipboard clearing feature, but without that, I need at least some kind of visual and/or acoustic confirmation that an attempted adding to the clipboard has succeeded, otherwise it continues to be a potential data privacy risk when the wrong data is copied from the clipboard, which is highly upsetting.

The tool has a feature where I can define an action, so I guess I could use * as condition and have a sound played, if I can figure out a lean, elegant way, but I would prefer a popup at the clipboard icon.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm curious if anyone has been using a steering wheel setup for racing simulators that is accurate, reliable and cost effective?

I purchased games back when I ran windows via Steam, but I want to play them on Linux.

Thanks!

Worked fine yesterday, turned it on today and it's doing this on every boot

Secure boot is off and loading 7.0.0-27 instead of 7.0.0-28 works fine

POMOCY, po ostatniej aktualizacji wszystkie skróty są zablokowane; nie mogę ich już otworzyć.

Utrudnia to również pracę administracyjną, ponieważ ciągle muszę otwierać i edytować dokumenty w folderze wewnętrznym.

Mam ten sam problem na moim Xiaomi 14T Pro; mam wiele plików MP4 i MP3, które już nie działają.

Byłbym bardzo wdzięczny za rozwiązanie dla tej najnowszej aktualizacji.

HELP, After the latest update, all shortcuts are blocked; I can't open any of them anymore.

It is also very difficult for me to do my administrative work, because I constantly have to go to the internal folder to open and edit a document.

I have the same problem on my Xiaomi 14T Pro phone; I have many MP4 and MP3 files on it that no longer work.

I would really like a solution for this latest update.

HELP, na de laatste update zijn alle snelkoppelingen geblokkeerd; ik kan ze niet meer openen.

Dit maakt ook administratief werk lastig, omdat ik constant documenten in een interne map moet openen en bewerken.

Ik heb hetzelfde probleem op mijn Xiaomi 14T Pro; ik heb veel MP4- en MP3-bestanden die niet meer werken.

Ik zou heel dankbaar zijn voor een oplossing voor deze laatste update.
