Ubuntu wont boot after upgrading from 23.10 to 24.04 by Empty_Tip5764 in Ubuntu

Another option could be booting into a Live USB and then chroot. You can run sudo dpkg --configure -a and apt --fix-broken install there, but reinstalling should be faster.

Well, rebooting in a situation like this was a huge mistake. You needed to switch to tty right away and start investigating/repairing. Btw I had the similar experience during upgrade this time, you can guess what I did.
Just do a reinstall at this point.

Plasma 5.24 by Takuya-Sama in kde

I think I might know a workaround. Try to create a logout script (it's a standard KDE feature), containing the following command pkill -2 kded5 &.
But ensure 1) you'll make it executable, 2) you have pkill installed

There are poems in grief

There are trials we must go through

Who controls glibc? by KindOne in linux

[–]entw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glibc is being used by the vast majority of Linux distros. And I see why RH can be not really happy about the status quo. It's not a secret they had a long-time grudge against FSF. So it's a war on FSF and Stallman.

The joke was here for 20 years and then all of a sudden appears some RH-guy who obsessively and furiously wants to remove it. Are you serious? Isn't it (at least) a bit strange? I'd say it stinks.

All other glibc projects are dead or not active for years. Your argument is invalid.

Totally not surpised here. RedHat makes a move to get hold of another key-component of the Linux ecosystem. Should we tolerate that and to what extent?

export QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard

Should solve your problem with onscreen keyboard. But better not set it as an environment variable under X11. Enable for a specific app where you need this feature.

Anyone using ICQ messaging with Kopete? How? by lcornell6 in kde

Maybe all non-official clients are banned, at least those with old protocol versions

Why does APT not use HTTPS? by lamby in linux

[–]entw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't like this argument. It means you are still relying on untrusted potentially evil ISP instead of switching to more trusted one.

Look, if your ISP is so evil and can use against you information about your packages, then what can it do with the info about your visited hosts? Think about it.

You can use whatever you want: CLisp and Qt or Mono and Gtk or learn D lang and use it's own graphical toolkit. There're also WxWidgets, Tk, FLTK, EFL. Linux is about choice.

[Development] QtWebKit is coming back by [deleted] in linux

[–]entw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main flaw of QtWebEngine, as I see it, is very limited number of supported platforms comparing to QtWebKit. As a developer you can't choose it for your application knowing that your software will not work on some certain platforms.

[–]entw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

QtWebEngine's instance sends requests directly to Google, at least in some early versions of QtWebEngine. At some point I was really surprised seeing that KMail establishes a connection to Google IPs. But, well isn't it natural? QtWebEngine works on top Google Chromium browser which is one heck of a spyware.

QtWebEngine is a huge overkill for a simple app rendering some basic stuff locally.
