ZFS root support

Idaho — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:41:33 GMT

Hello guys,

I haven't tried the 26.04 beta and I'll be using it as soon as it comes to release but I was wondering if it's gonna have ZFS root support, since Ubuntu has it, I was wondering if Kubuntu not having is a conscious choice from the dev team or something that has been overlooked... Anyway I think ZFS is a great file system and I would like to be able to use it easily with Kubuntu, is there any informations available on the matter?
Thanks in advance for your answers

Farming Simulator 25 - Mods showing as "empty" Proton/Steam) pls help:(

julienjuelch — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:31:56 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm playing Farming Simulator 25 on Kubuntu using Steam and Proton.

I have a strange issue with my mod folder. If I only have one or two mods installed, they work perfectly fine in the game shop. However, as soon as I load my full mod list (around 43 mods, all for LS25), many of them show up as 'empty' in the shop. They appear as 'active' in the mod list on the startup screen, but when I try to buy them in-game, the shop entry is blank/empty.

I have already tried the following:

Cleared the 'shader_cache' and 'pdlc_cache'.
Checked the case-sensitivity of all file names.
Verified that all 43 mods are compatible with LS25.

Could this be a file descriptor limit (ulimit) in Proton/Wine, or is there a known issue with the GIANTS Engine catalog limit when using many mods on Linux?

System: Kubuntu, AMD RX 570.

I have attached my log.txt here: [LINK ZU DEINEM PASTEBIN HIER EINFÜGEN]

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Thanks for any help!

Running Kubuntu 26.04 on Thinkpads E14 & E15

Hi, I've been running 26.04 on my Thinkpad E14 & E15 laptops with very few issues. They both have Intel i3 processors and 16gb ram. I am simply amazed how smooth they run. Obviously, I don't do any major tasks since the resources are not meant to do that. But for daily tasks, I'm very happy!

[Abandoned] Trying to get two actions on a single file in a Dolphin Service menu

oshunluvr — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:49:52 GMT

I use Dolphin service menus to extract subtitles from video files. Then, if the subtitle is ssa format, I use a second service menu to convert it to srt. Independently, they both work fine. I'd like to combine this into a single service menu; i.e extract and convert automatically when the file type is ssa.

The subtitle extraction is done with a python script that I call from the service menu like this:

Code:

Exec=$HOME/.local/share/applications/mkvextract-allsubs-eng %u

The conversion to srt is much simpler and uses ffmpeg, so it's a one-liner:

Code:

ffmpeg -i "$fn" "${fn%.*}".srt

I suspect I could add the conversion function to the python script, but I don't know python at all - the python script is something I found on the 'net.

I have attempted this in the service menu:

Code:

Exec=$HOME/.local/share/applications/mkvextract-allsubs-eng %u; fn=%u; if [[ "${fn#"${fn%???}"}" = "ssa" ]]; then ffmpeg -i "$fn" "${fn%.*}".srt; rm "$fn"; fi

The results are the extraction occurs but not the conversion.

All the pieces in the if statement work from the command line so I think the issue is in the Service Menu action itself - like once the python script is called the service menu stops provessing.

Looking for ideas..
