[Post-Install]Cant print

Wasim — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 03:04:25 GMT

After the recent update I no longer can print despite printing happily for months. Changed drivers, tried different commands and no matter what I do I cant print. I have 2 printers (Brother Inkjet and HP inkjet), both are experiencing the same behaviour. Either the job doesn't go into the printer queue at all or it does and then prints a blank page 10 minutes later. CUPS issue? Anybody else having the same issue? Any suggestions?

Google 2FA passkeys can't be saved on Linux ??

oshunluvr — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 20:55:12 GMT

TL/DR: Does anyone know how to make a Google Passkey that works from my Kubuntu PC?

If you turn 2FA on your Google account, it wants a passkey on the 2FA device - my cell phone. This worked great UNTIL my phone broke. Google sent me a new phone, but I was totally unable to log into my Google account and actually use the phone because the phone was the 2FA device. Totally stupid - A true, real life Catch-22.

Finally my wife got Google on the phone (an actual person) and after several hours of back and forth and trying to use my Chrome OS tablet: NOTE, it doesn't work - at least in part because Googles own instructions are totally wrong. The instructions tell to you to go to a menu on the Chrome OS device that does not exist. I suspect the instructions are grossly out-of-date because they're sunsetting ChromeOS in preference to straight Android on tablets.

Finally - the agent elevated the problem to a higher level and they re-set my account to turn off 2FA, thus allowing me to log into my Google account and restore my phone from my backup. There was a great moment at the end (3-4 hours on the phone) when the help desk person asked me if I wanted help turning on 2FA!. I almost lost it. I said "Hell NO, that's what led to all this trouble in the first place!" Anyway, that was like 6 months ago and I honestly would like to use 2FA again because you can access most of my life from my phone. But I simply cannot unless I can somehow be able to have the 2FA passkey on a different device.

I tried today to get Google Chrome on my desktop to do it. But once again - shocker - the instructions are wrong. I managed to find the correct menu location on Chrome Browser to create a Passkey but I got the reply "Your device doesn't support creating passkeys..." so I'm still searching for a solution.

I have considered using Chrome on a Windows VM, but that seems very klunky.

NOTE: AI generated responses to this problem are (as expected based on my experience) even more wrong than Google's. No need to cut-and-paste AI "help" - thanks. For example, Google's own AI lists the steps that get you to the "Your device doesn't support creating passkeys..." message. Stupid. I swear all this AI garbage is making it harder and harder to find real websites that actually have real information.

I'm looked for actual experience with this and instructions that work, or sensible alternatives.

[Software]Qt5 file picker causes applications to crash after upgrading to 26.04

yo5lka — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 17:12:03 GMT

Since upgrading to Kubuntu 26.04 and KDE Plasma 6.6 (currently on 6.6.6), Qt5 applications crash when they need to open the file picker for opening/saving. Qt6 applications are not affected. Below is a crash log from Qt5 Designer, but all other Qt5 applications do the same thing when opening a file picker.

https://yo5lka.net/temp/qt5_crash.log (sorry if I wasn't supposed to post links, but I couldn't figure out how to include the log without making a huge message)

Has anyone else experienced this? I found some people with the same issue over on the Arch and Manjaro forums, but most answers from there are not applicable to the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem.

adding kubuntu desktop on top of ubuntu /? ?? or total reinstall

anne5505 — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 22:40:33 GMT

hi there, ive got a nice completely new thinkpad that is running ubuntu. i much prefer mint xfce but it just wouldnt run on it. ubuntu seems very solid and clean, but i really miss how customizable xfce was.

the friend who helped me install it says i can just add a kubuntu desktop on top of the ubuntu that is already there, and he gave me a few simple commands to do it which i could probably do. (god willing) he said i didnt have to completley reinstall everything and it would be more like mint. i dont totally understand exactly how desktops interchange like that.

can anyone help me understand if this just adding a desktop will actually make enough difference, or should i just completely start over. its working flawlessly as it is, i just miss being able to play around with stuff more.

so will it work to just add a kubuntu desktop on top of the ubuntu i already have, or should i start over fresh? im about to leave the country and wont know anyone who works on linux for a long time, so trying to get it all solid before i go. thanks so much for any advice

Snap Contains Wrong Symlink For Thunderbird

rht53 — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 23:30:46 GMT

I do not know if this is the correct forum because the only computer I have working ATM is very flaky due to a stuff up by snap. On 25 July 2026 snap did an auto update and created a symlink for thunderbird "current" to an empty directory [1201]. As a result thunderbird and many other applications do not work correctly. The correct destination of the symling should be to "common" or to a subdirectory downstream from there. I have just done an update to snap via Discover (which since 25 July has been throwing false "failure" error messages) -- the symlink has been changed (ie, removed and recreated) to 1228, a new empty directory. My question is simple: Do I change the symlink to "common" or "common/thunderbird" or to one of the esr directories further downstream? Commonsense says "common/thunderbird" but I am disabled and cannot afford to lose those applications that are still working.

BTW, for legal reasons I cannot reinstall [k]ubuntu or snap or thunderbird on this computer.

TIA

I think the Ubuntu devs have some bug hunting to do. The update was something about a 105 keyboard. That is why I suspected the update and that log seems to suggest my hunch was on target.

EDIT: I missed the first line with the command:

Code:

steve7233@TheHartofGold]$ journalctl -b -1 -e

[System]System freeze (amdgpu - flip_done timed out)

boospy33 — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 10:08:42 GMT

For some time now (starting with Kubuntu 24.04 LTS), there has been a bug that causes the graphical interface to freeze when using AMD GPUs. Error in the journal:

Code:

amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] ERROR [CRTC:364:crtc-0] flip_done timed out

The behavior varies depending on the GPU type. Some systems freeze daily, some only while gaming, and others even during normal office work.
There is this post that, in my opinion, describes this issue very well:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/system-f...el-6-12/176608

I'm using an “AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX” here. Fortunately, it's only happened maybe once or twice a month. Mostly while gaming, but also a few times while working, which was really annoying.
After such an incident, a reboot is necessary. ACPI stops responding. A reboot via SSH is possible, but depending on the severity of the issue, it can take a little longer.

According to the post above, the bug has now actually been fixed starting with the following kernel versions (hoply):

6.18.44, 7.1.8, and 7.2-rc7

I don't know if the bug will be fixed (backported) in Kubuntu 26.04.1, but as a workaround, I installed the Liquorix kernel: https://liquorix.net
The kernel is always up to date. So far, the issue hasn't occurred again. But since it happened quite rarely here, I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this info with you guys in case any of you are also affected by this bug.

Many greetings

Unable to install OpenTablet Driver on Kubuntu 26.04 LTS (KDE Plasma)

Kiaahs-Paradise97 — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 18:43:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Kubuntu and its forums, and I need a bit of help.

I am trying to download the "OpenTablet Driver" app through the Terminal, but it's not letting me. Everytime I try to, even following YouTube tutorials, this error message appears:

Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
opentabletdriver : Depends: dotnet-runtime-8.0 but it is not installable
Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting assignments:
1. opentabletdriver:amd64=0.6.7 is selected for install
2. opentabletdriver:amd64 Depends dotnet-runtime-8.0
but none of the choices are installable:
[no choices]

Is there a way to possible bypass this? Or do I need to install some sort of addon to help resolve this error?

[Desktop]Bluetooth adapter vanised.

Kelean — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 14:49:32 GMT

My bluetooth vanished after the last upgrade. I was hoping that it would be fixed after today's upgrade but no.

After that last upgrade it informed me that i needed to reboot. After booting I had no bluetooth adapter. So I am unable to use my bluetooth speakers,
when I go system settings bluetooth. It tells me that there is no bluetooth adpter and need to use an external adapter for bluetooth.

My speakers had been running fine with the exception of having ti reconnect them from time to time.
