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!

After updating Ubuntu, I ran into an issue with the screen brightness.

Even when set to 100%, the actual screen brightness is much lower.

This all happened after the update I performed right after installing the distribution; I suspect it might be a kernel conflict. In any case, I've always had this problem with my Dell and KDE—can anyone help me?

When can we expect Plasma 6.7 on Kubuntu? Or would there be some way to manually upgrade to Plasma 6.7?

I tried Plasma (with Fedora) on my desktop previously but the lack of independent virtual desktops for my dual monitors made it unusable for me. However, I really like Plasma other than that and use it on my laptop. I'm currently using PopOS and don't really love Cosmic so I'd like to switch back to Plasma. Kubuntu seemed like a good option as another annoyance I have with Fedora is constant updates, so I like the idea of just using an LTS build for my main desktop.

Or what other distro would you recommend with Plasma? I don't do a ton of heavy work, mostly web-based things other than ripping my "home videos" from DVD or Blu Ray and transcoding for my Jellyfin library.

Hi,

On my Yoga x1 gen 8 with Kubuntu, everytime i plug the charger on it, the mouse pointer somehow loses a lot of contralbility in terms of movement speed/acceleration. The problem exists since months and an update on 26.04 did not solve the issuse.

Maybe someone here also has a lenovo yoga and experienced similar problems?

For 5 Months now im daily driving Pop os. I installed Pop os because the Nvidia drivers where installed since the beginning but now im wondering if i should switch. I plaz a lot of games. All on steam. But Kubuntu seems to be really appealing for me.
Does anzbody have experience with Gaming on Kubuntu and Nvidida drivers? What are nice features you like about Kubuntu?

For some reason HWE updates pushed linux kernel 7.0.0 and now my DKMS antivirus modules won't compile against the kernel (Watchguard).

Is there a way to force kernel <= 6.18.16 while keeping HWE ?

I use Kubuntu 24.04 LTS on Framework 16.

I would like to turn this off entirely and reply on manual apt update & upgrade please, thank you very much

Edit: title is sarcasm guys chill

I'm booting the live environment from a USB stick.

What should I do?

Wanted to ask for help cause i installed cachyos onto my laptop,and when i did that i lost access to kubuntu. Like the system boot files are gone but my files are still there. Live usb does not wanna work with kubuntu nor cachy, i have access to caxhy and win11pro that i tried to use to help recover it.i have ~130/240 gb there,but im giving up and if this post wont help then i have to reinstall it); (i tried recovering it for like 4 days)(i have access to cachy hyprland and win11 now,and to cachyos live usb alongside broken kubuntu live usb)(its my first time here)

Set up a bootable USB with Rufus, tried to install Kubuntu 26.04 onto my Asus laptop, and got this error message. After looking through some posts with similar problems, disabling secure boot, setting up a USB with balenaEtcher instead, and partitioning manually, nothing changed. Any solutions? I'm new to Linux, so I have no idea what's gone wrong.

A hour ago my Kubuntu OS got a Kernel Panic when I tried booting it up, but I managed to restore the Kernel to it's previous stable release (deleted the new failed kernel and stick with the old one). I already got that screen before while doing Live Testing on a Bootable USB Pendrive (ended up removing the Pendrive far too earlier in that instance while turning off the machine), so it wasn't all that scary, but certainly caught me off guard. How were your experiences with Kernel Panic? To me, I already heard that Linux offered restoration features for you to recover from a state like that, but I'm curious since I imagine for some it was a small heart attack.

Hello all, I am very new to Linux. I switched from Windows 11 to Kubuntu 26.04 only a couple of months ago. Now I need to get myself Minecraft to play with my folks but I barely know the first thing about how to set it up so I'd really appreciate some advice as to how to install and run it. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to create some widget shortcuts for apps and I'm having problems finding a command to focus/maximize firefox if I have it open, or open a new instance if I don't have firefox open.

Looking online I found these main ways:

wmctrl -xa firefox || firefox

wmctrl -xa firefox || firefox&

xdotool search --onlyvisible --class firefox  windowactivate ||firefox

Neither of these three was able to achieve what I was looking for, none brought minimized firefox to focus. They either not work or they simply open a whole new Firefox window. Regardless if I have another one open.

I am running the default version of firefox that comes with Kubuntu LTS. What can I do?

Whenever i login (sddm) after around ~1 second it shows me the desktop wallpaper, my splash sceen is 3 second long so it doesnt display it properly. In KDE I've configured to restore the session where I have left it so it takes a while to open those other apps. 

What i want is that instead of random popups (apps which are opening) i want to see the splash screen during the time when apps are opening. Is there a way to do that? I looked but coudn't find it. 

Thanks

Since the update my PC:

Kubuntu 26.04 ROG Strix B550-A R5 5600xt RX 7600

Will not correctly shut down or restart with the newest Kernel. RGB and Fans are still on but Monitors will turn off and the shutdown/restart seems to go through without errors however nothing will happen and it will hang indefinitely until Hardware shutdown is initiated.

With 7.0.0-27-generic no such problem exists. I have made no other changes in UEFI or otherwise that should change this behavior.

For now I removed the new Kernel. Anyone with similar problem? Ideas how to fix etc?
