[Bug 1877668] Re: KDESVN Context Menu issue

2020-12-16 Thread Timothy Quinn
This issue was resolved by installing `kde-plasma-desktop` which put in
all the necessary libraries to get KDE apps working much better. This
installation also fixed KFind and other KDE apps that I use.

Note `kde-plasma-desktop` is huge and after installing and before
restarting the computer run `sudo apt update`. If you don't run this
update, may brick gnome on reboot making it a very tricky to get back up
and running.

I made this mistake the first time I installed 20.04 by rebooting
without an `apt update`. My Gnome was pooched and I had to do a revert
to a ZVN snapshot, which is never ideal as the revert will not fix files
under your home which were modified by kde library installation leaving
gnome working but in a sad place. If this happens, you would need to
hand revert files in home that were modified during kde libs install.

[Bug 1908435] [NEW] Ubuntu Installation Failure With Formatted Disk

2020-12-16 Thread Timothy Quinn
Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Installer fails when trying to install on a Drive that is
previously formatted by Ubuntu installer.

I know this issue has been around for a long time but is there a way
that the installer can detect a formatted drive automatically and if the
usecase is to wipe the drive anyway, automatically format the drive
before running any code that may fail due to the existing drive
formatting?

I can imagine this issue can be a real roadblock for newbies as when it
fails as there are virtually no hints of why it is failing.

Background: 
Today, I was installing Ubuntu 20.04 on an new computer I used a DVD I burned 
back in May of this year. The installer failed and it appears to have already 
formatted the drive at that point.

I had assumed that the DVD may have been damaged so I downloaded 20.04.1
and burned a new DVD. When I installed, it failed again before I got to
the final "install" button. I did let the system send the bug report up
to the server at the time (about 13:00 EST). I have seen this issue
before and it was related to the drive formatting causing the installer
to bail so I used Ubuntu Live and gparted to delete any data on the
drive. When I re-installed, it installed successfully.

During all the above installations, I used the `Wipe drive and use ZFS`
option.

[Bug 1908435] Re: Ubuntu Installation Failure With Formatted Disk

2020-12-16 Thread Timothy Quinn
Update, my last 'successful' install failed because it looks like
gparted did not completely nuke the drive and the installation did not
boot up after it completed. At boot, I got the Busybox screen with no
clear errors. When I pulled up the drive in Ubuntu live cd, the
partitions were very odd sda1, sda2, sda5, sda6, sda7 and no sda3, or
sda4. I used 'disks' utility to wipe all partitions and used `df` to
verify that there were no partitions left on the disk and am now trying
20.04.1 install again...

This is another failure mode of Ubuntu installer not really wiping the
drive before before starting install; a 'successful' installation that
does not boot.

[Bug 1908435] Re: Ubuntu Installation Failure With Formatted Disk

2020-12-21 Thread Timothy Quinn
I was able to get ubuntu installed successfully using ZFS by doing an
offline minimal installation both `Download Updates` and `Third Party
Software` disabled. The installation was successful and Ubuntu booted
ok. I have now switched my production desktop over to the new
installation.

I suspect the majority of the failures were due to `Third Party
Software` option (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-
cdimage/+bug/1871268).

As its possible that I got a false positive on the bug, I suggest that
you close this ticket until I get time to do some playing around to see
if drive formatting is actually an issue with current builds of
ubiquity.

[Bug 1877668] [NEW] KDESVN Context Menu issue

2020-05-08 Thread Timothy Quinn
Public bug reported:

With KdeSVN 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 20.04, the context menu is not staying up
when the user right clicks an item and instead eaither closes or
sometimes automatically selects the first option in the context menu.
The only way to use the context menu at present is to right click and
hold and drag to the item to select.

This was not the behavior with kdesvn on 18.04.
