Besides fixing the libsmtp5bai1 problem, the update also repaired the mailto functionality on my FF75 browser.

Reddit is a fine source for factual and accurate info, always
Any links to this claim?
Anyway:
I can't find any mention of Kubuntu doing a 5 year LTS, though as is the norm, the Ubuntu base itself has the 5 year support. So it is just the Plasma bits that have the three-year life span.Code:$ ubuntu-support-status Support status summary of 'kubuntu': You have 1192 packages (62.3%) supported until April 2025 (Canonical - 5y) You have 224 packages (11.7%) supported until April 2023[B] (Community - 3y)[/B] You have 53 packages (2.8%) supported until April 2023 (Canonical - 3y)

Actually that's what I did, I read the headline, then thought it sounded weird and came here to see if acheron or anybody else would ever agree on that. As expected, nobody did.Originally posted by claydoh View PostWhich of course was debunked nearly immediately, edited by the OP., plus comment by moi

Thanks for the link to the latest 5.6.4 kernel. I have found that when I install these alternative kernel versions they do not get listed in muon, because they do not come from a repository.Originally posted by Radcliff View Post
I have also found that in order to tidy up my system I had use line commands likefollowed by apt to remove the package that was no longer required.Code:apt-cache pkgnames linux-modules-5.6.0
In my initial selection I included the lowlatency version which I found gave poor performance with glmark2. Hence they go removed. I also needed to clear out the 5.4 kernel versions so that they did not get in the way.
I eventually got my system tidied up and the end result is shown below.
I am very pleased with the performance with this kernel and I have used grub-customizer to provide the options for which system to boot.Comment

Is the 5.6 kernel going to be part of 20.04 or is it the 5.4 kernel? Seems like there are a number of good things for laptops in 5.6.Comment

Kubuntu 20.04 LTS is due to be released on April 23, 2020, succeeding Kubuntu 19.10 as the latest stable release.Originally posted by jwrober View Post

Kubuntu 20.04 Release Date
- Testing week: January 9, 2020.
- UI Freeze: March 19, 2020.
- Kubuntu 20.04 Beta: April 2, 2020.
- Kernel Freeze: April 9, 2020.
- Release Candidate: April 16, 2020.
So Kubuntu 20.04 is currently at the Release Candidate stage and all updates are related to fixes to current packages rather than introducing new versions.
I would expect that Linux kernel updates will occur during the life of 20.04, but not in the initial release on the 23rd April. So it will be a case of waiting patiently for these updates if you want to stay with the provided packages. I have a tendency to try non-recommended sources that do entail a degree of risk, which I mitigate by having another sacrificial Laptop, with the same version but some different sources

GG or 20.10 is next door, there's only 12 basic packages left in Proposed.
Kernel 5.4 is an LTS Kernel, it will be in Focal up to 20.04.1. It is important to keep the latest one minimum, it contains Focal's architecture.
This ends the cycle perfectly:Code:ls /lib/modules 5.4.0-26-generic 5.7.0-050700rc2-generic
Take care,Code:======================================================= glmark2 Score: 2987 ======================================================= uname -a Linux fossa 5.7.0-050700rc2-generic #202004192230 SMP Sun Apr 19 22:34:20 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux mokutil --sb SecureBoot enabledLast edited by Radcliff; Apr 21, 2020, 02:50 PM.Comment

I noticed 5.7 RC2 being available however, I also noticed that for 5.6, there were 7 RC's before 5.6.1 was released. For this reason I have been hesitant to use it.Originally posted by Radcliff View Post
I finally decided to install it on my "sacrificial" laptop which has an NVIDIA card in it. I found that with the HDMI connection, it did not recognize the external monitor and the NVIDIA driver did not work as well. I tried the VGA connection and the external monitor was connected but the NVIDIA driver still did not work correctly.
This experience conformed my suspicion that the 7.5 kernel is still in the very early stages of development and I will not consider it until it gets to 7.5.1.Comment
