Originate Overviews of Oracular Oriole Kubuntu 24.10

[claydoh]

The official beta is out today, so it is the prefect time to take sytem snapshots/backups and see what happens.

I'm on Kubuntu 24.04. Anyone upgraded to 24.10 without major issues?

EDIT: Update completed. No issues encountered.

EDIT2: Unable to boot into Windows 11 from grub menu. Error message: "error: cannot load image. Press any key to continue...".
Booting into Windows from F11 (CMOS boot menu) works fine.
Grub menu worked perfectly with 24.04

Thanks claydoh the first one works , second did not , did not try the third. But appimages are now working

[claydoh]

libfuse2t64?
It might also be the ongoing apparmor issue (on any ditsro that is using it iirc), these seem to need profiles created for apps.
A brute force hammer:

A bit more of a scalpel maybe?:

sudo aa-disable /path/to/AppImage

or maybe creating a profile similar to this:

Appimages have sucked large ones for some time, for me, even before the libfuse thing

That is because appimages require an older fuse library that is even older than what Ubuntu provides., lol. This was the case back in 22.04 as well, iirc.

Thanks but the correct fuse libs are already installed in 24.10 So back to the drawing board. Haven't really investigated it that far yet will in the coming days as time permits. But Thanks for the hint.

Also so far been unable to get appimages to work.

downloaded and installed 24.10 beta and work quite well for me. couple 3rd party programs would either not install or install and not run , but that will most likely get fixed after final is released. So far so good.

It's only 1 Month before the Release of Oracular Oriole 24.10.


During this past month there have been significant advances in the development of Oracular. This is illustrated by the Version changes in the current Info Centre listing since last month which is shown below.

	2 Months To Go	1 Month To Go
KDE Plasma Version	5.27.11	6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version	5.116	6.5.0
QT Version	5.15.13	6.6.2
Application Version	4:23.08.5	4:24.08.5
Kernel Version	6.8.0-31-generic	6.8.0-31-generic

The only problem that I have encountered is with using Glmark2 on x11. I have all versions installed but when I try glmark2-es2-x11 or glmark2-x11, I get the command not found message. Only glmark2 works? This is my only complaint which is rather trivial at this stage.

Otherwise the developers are doing a brilliant job at development and are to be congratulated on the progress made during the last month.

You *are* using a pre-release OS, one that currently is still in a fairly constant state of flux, changes, fixes, and very often missing bits that either failed to build, have temporarily missing deps, or haven't finished uploading to the repo at whatever time you last updated or installed.

aka completely normal and will be for a little while, still. Until around the official Beta dates.

Over on Ubuntu Forums, it's being said that the daily ISO now includes Plasma 6

Meanwhile, I'm having a weird issue downloading anything - the browser (I've tried both Chrome & Firefox) waits around 15 seconds before offering a "Save as" box, whether it's a 170-byte text file or a multi-GB ISO image.

Yesterday I installed latest 24.10 .iso. On live boot, panel is missing. But after I installed it on my laptop, after first reboot everything is there, works like a charm. Didnt had any issues for now.

I have a NVIDIA card on my system, however I have never been able to get it to work because it is rather an old NVIDIA card. I have instead installed xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, ubuntu-drivers-common and vdpau-driver-all plus other related packages. I suspect that these, and the other packages that I have installed are there because of original nouveau package that I installed.

I hope the your update of extra packages results in your system working. Otherwise you may have to resort to what I did, which was purge all nvidia* packages and install the nouveau packages. At least my system is working with the latest updates.

UPDATE - Removing the Nvidia drivers in recovery mode worked. My system lives once more!

A big chunk of Plasma 6.1stuff arrived on my system this morning.
Sadly not enough, as booting into Kubuntu now just leaves me with a black screen (Nvidia GPU).
Might want to wait until the weekend before updating, to make sure everything has landed safely in the repo.
