I was first on KUbuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to connect to my router's attached USB storage drive by adding client min protocol = NT1 to the smb.conf file within user/share/samba. My router doesn't support the newer SMB protocol.

I just recently wiped my computer and installed KUbuntu 24.04 LTS and I tried adding that same line of code to the smb.conf file, but when I try to go to the IP address of my router it tells me that "Connection to host 192.168.1.1 is broken".

I've been trying to find a solution online, but not having luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?

To start off with I had a Ryzen 3400G and an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max that had become unstable and took several tries to boot. I decided to swap in an ASUS Prime B550M-A wifi.

The only issue is I was triple booting Kubuntu, Windows 7, and Windows 10, so this would be interesting.

TL/DR:

Kubuntu booted normally. Like seriously, just a regular boot, no messages or anything.

Windows 7 froze a few seconds into the loading screen. I tried rebooting and using safe mode, but that froze too.

Windows 10 gave a bunch of 'rechecking' and 'fixing file system' messages, and after about 2 reboots with more messages, opened to a workable desktop.

So, I just start firefox on a virtual desktop by itself. Is there a way to move it from that virtual desktop to another?

Other programs have a gadget that puts them on all the virtual desktops at once. click that gadget go to the desktop you want the program on, and click the gadget in that window to collapse the app to that one virtual desktop.

I dual boot Kubuntu 22.04 on the SD. Using a Pinnacle 801e TV stick and NextPVR for viewing.

The TV stick does most of the heavy lifting, CPU usage was really low. Drivers weren't an issue. It's already supported in the kernel.

I just got sick of that damn hedgehog struttin' around like he owns the place.

I, for one, am running Kubuntu 23.04

It is more than a week since Ubuntu 20.04 is released. But still there is no upgrade available for Kubuntu flavor. There are some workaround suggesting to run do-release-upgrade -d which is not correct as it upgrade to development release.

Has anyone had success in upgrading to Kubuntu 20.04?
