[SOLVED] After upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10 info page displays "Ubuntu 12"

[dzert127]

After upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10 info page displays "Ubuntu 12" as below. Does anyone know what happened? It should display Kubuntu logo and "Kubuntu 23.10" title. What even is "Ubuntu 12"?

Looks like the Debian 12 Info Center - with a whiff of Ubuntu…

Debian! I knew I recognize this logo from somewhere! But this is not and never was Debian 😅

When checking version in command line it displays valid version:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 23.10
Release: 23.10
Codename: mantic​

It is also missing the Hardware section.

My upgrade looks normal, here, which doesn't mean anything, really.

In the Konsole terminal emulator

sudo apt reinstall kinfocenter ?

or even
sudo apt reinstall kubuntu-desktop ?

Perhaps post your /etc/sources.list and ("foreign") contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory?

Oh, and welcome, by the way.

It's not, I've just removed it from the screen, this information was irrevelant 😉 Sorry, should have mention that.

In the Konsole terminal emulator

Reinstaling kinfocenter didn't change anything. Reinstalling kubuntu-desktop is bigger deal, because I don't have it installed, I have desktop-base, and installing kubuntu-desktop wants to remove it and install many other packages.

Perhaps post your /etc/sources.list and ("foreign") contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory?

Nothing unusual in /etc/sources.list:

deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic main restricted
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic-updates main restricted
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic universe
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic-updates universe
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic multiverse
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic-updates multiverse
deb http://pl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ mantic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security multiverse​

As for "foreign" sources:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu   kinetic stable

deb [arch=amd64] https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main​

It's not that big deal, I can live with "Ubuntu 12" in my info center. Just was wondering what had happened and if anyone else has something like this also.

yeah, it would have saved me from going down a rabbit hole on my lunch break

My theorie:

Perhaps therefore there are some parts/links that have changed - or are completely missing from your system- in the Kubuntu branding of Kubuntu 23.10 in comparison to the version you upgraded from…

As an example:
the distribution that is to be displayed in KInfoCenter is defined in /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc (and in /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kf5-settings/kcm-about-distrorc ).

Here is the content of /etc/xdg/kcm-about-distrorc from Kubuntu 22.04 :

[General]
LogoPath=/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kubuntu-circle-128.png
Website=https://www.kubuntu.org
Name=Kubuntu​

Okay, your theory seems to make sense. I've installed kubuntu-desktop with all dependencies and now my info center looks as it should do. I am upgrading my kubuntu every time the new version comes out and don't remember on which it started. Many things have changed since then.
Anyway, problem solved. Thank you!
