So, the upgrade did complete, but not without some niggles it seems.

This is what apt now sees on your system:

In /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-updates main restricted
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble universe
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-updates multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security multiverse

In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:

audio-recorder-ubuntu-ppa-jammy.list
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/aud...er/ppa/ubuntu/ jammy main

kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.list
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/kel.../hplip/ubuntu/ jammy main

mozilla.list
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main

mozilla.list.distUpgrade
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main

mozillateam-ubuntu-ppa-jammy.list
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/moz...am/ppa/ubuntu/ jammy main

vivaldi.list
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main

vivaldi.list.distUpgrade
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main


The content of /etc/apt/sources.list is for noble (24.04), but that this file (sources.list) exist is troubling, for me. It shouldn't exist (now), as it was replaced by /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources, the file you don't have.
The content of the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d are all for jammy except for vivaldi, which is generic.

The current issue you are facing, as you posted in post #3, is due to hplip-gui for noble being available natively via /etc/apt/sources.list content, and for jammy via /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kelebek333-ubuntu-hplib-jammy.list.

For right now, just rename the file so apt doesn't recognize it:

sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.listBAK

Then run: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Then you can try installing the hplip-gui package.

[GregM]

Tried it and no joy.

[Snowhog]

Tried it and no joy.

Which part?

[GregM]

I guess the HP Tools just doesn't want to be installed.

[Snowhog]

Do you have hplip (already) installed?

[GregM]

I have tried but, no.

[Snowhog]

Totally odd. When you try to install hplip-gui, what are you being told? For hplip?

[GregM]

Example.....

greg@OptiPlex-9020:~$ apt install hplip hplip-gui
N: Ignoring file 'kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.listBAK' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
greg@OptiPlex-9020:~$

[Snowhog]

You have to use sudo with apt, so sudo apt install hplip hplip-gui

Try again and report back what you are told.

[GregM]

Got this, Looks better.....

[Snowhog]

but 3.23.12+dfsg0-0ubuntu5+klbkjammy is to be installed

This indicates that the repository for kelebek333 is still being seen by apt. As you renamed the file to kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.listBAK, I don't understand (at the moment) why this would be the case.

If you want, you can remove/purge hplip, then logout/restart and then install hplip, which would insure that the installation is using the Ubuntu default repository for noble, and not that of kelebek333-ubuntu-hplip-jammy.

sudo apt purge hplip

Then logout/restart.

Then sudo apt install hplip

[claydoh]

I don't understand (at the moment) why this would be the case.

Probably need to update the apt database via sudo apt update, which should remove references to the removed/disabled PPA source file.

Or using ppa-purge to properly disable/remove the PPA, update the database, and downgrade back to stock Ubuntu packaging -- though I have no idea if this is 100% useful for the purpose for a PPA/packaging for a previous release in a new one *after* an upgrade where the PPA doesn't have packages fore the current release.

Manually uninstalling is probably safest, anyway, since you are doing things one step at a time.

[GregM]

greg@OptiPlex-9020:~$ ppa-purge
Warning: Required ppa-name argument was not specified
Usage: sudo ppa-purge [options] <ppapaowner>[/ppaname]

ppa-purge will reset all packages from a PPA to the standard
versions released for your distribution.

Options:
-p [ppaname] PPA name to be disabled (default: ppa)
-o [ppaowner] PPA owner
-s [host] Repository server (default: ppa.launchpadcontent.net)
-d [distribution] Override the default distribution choice.
-y Pass -y --force-yes to apt-get or -y to aptitude
-i Reverse preference of apt-get upon aptitude.
-h Display this help text

Example usage commands:
sudo ppa-purge -o xorg-edgers
will remove https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa

sudo ppa-purge -o sarvatt -p xorg-testing
will remove https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/xorg-testing

sudo ppa-purge [ppa:]ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
will remove https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates

Notice: If ppa-purge fails for some reason and you wish to try again,
(For example: you left synaptic open while attempting to run it) remove
the line "Enabled: no" from the Components section in the PPA ".sources"
file or uncomment the PPA from its ".list" file, run apt-get update and
try again.
