      The daily jammy iso today fails to isoboot for me, looping on
      stdin: Not a typewriter
      I forget why, but I've got the lubuntu daily iso too, and it has the same problem.

        Well..... I've run into my first odd glitch on Jammy. Updated via Proposed, which I have been doing somewhat consistently without issue, The system has been and is running great.

        The glitch I have run into seems to only effect Software Sources:

        My password works perfectly for everything - except Software Sources, where I get the error shown in the attached image.

        Steps to the Error:

        Opened Discover
        Settings Tab
        Click Software Sources
        Enter Password
        ---Error---

        Opened Muon
        Settings Menu
        Configure Software Sources
        Enter Password
        ---Error---

        ***If I select a Repository listed on the Settings page of Discover (either checking or unchecking the applicable box), the password works perfectly fine and processes the action

          Same here. It'll get fixed.

            I also found this with Muon and I got around it by starting Muon with sudo and it then works for Configure Software Sources.

            There is another more serious problem that I have and that is with Kdenlive on Wayland. With Wayland, after I do a render, I then try to run the rendered file with VLC and it fails to start. Even if I try VLC using the command line, that also fails. I also find that I cannot shutdown and I have to make sure that I have Konsole open so that I can do a
            Code:
            shutdown -h now
            On X11 I do not have this problem after all the Plasma and Frameworks updates today, Kdenlive now works as it should. It renders OK and VLC works OK and I can logout. I hope the Wayland problem is easily fixed. My current work-around is to use X11 for all video editing with Kdenlive.

              What I'm confused about is if I take my 21.10 system and do "sudo do-release-upgrade" after 22.04 LTS is released will it upgrade me to 22.04 LTS and keep me on the LTS?
              OK, now I understand. The answer is the same. What you experienced before is because by default LTS releases only upgrade to LTS releases, whereas regular non-LTS release will upgrade to the next release regardless. To modify this behavior, you can edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. In that file you will find the bottom line will be;
              Code:
              Prompt=normal
              If you were using an LTS release, the default is;
              Code:
              Prompt=lts
              I'm not sure what happens when you upgrade to an LTS release from non-LTS in this instance. Does the update change the release-updates entry or not? I guess we'll find out soon.

                Firefox (default as Snap package) just loops on requesting to be the default browser on every start. Annoying.
                Also, I experienced a problem with EID card reader. When plugging in, the default green led turns off after 5-10s... which is not normal. And the device does not work. I need to investigate.

                  This actually has little to do with it being a Snap, or even an anomaly of running a pre-release OS. it can happen on the deb version in 20.04 (on Neon) and should be fixed in FF 98

                    To remove that annoyance, use about:config to set browser.shell.didSkipDefaultBrowserCheckOnFirstRun to true.

                    As Claydoh reports, a fix is in the pipeline. This nuisance has been there for years, and they've always refuse to divulge exactly what is being checked. So, I'm sceptical...

                      So where is the best place to send feedback that will garner attention on issues

                      The below is some feedback of my testing this AM... for the curious... like above, I am looking for the BEST STOP for it to be sent... Launchpad??

                      Testing 22.04 to see how things shake out. FULLY AWARE this is alpha/beta at best testing editions from the daily builds....

                      Using a VM for now, no spare physical hardware that can be used

                      1) Updated to all current packages in repos (have NOT added any repos, just whats there by default)
                      2) purged firefox snap and snapd - good riddance!

                      Things seems to be fine up till here!

                      3) Switched to LightDM as I REQUIRE XDMCP... and I think this is where things and wheels on the bus fall apart and off!

                      a) Using the BUILT IN RDP server of the hypervisor, it started to show kinks in the armor... reboot to apply LDM setup, get the greeter, OK.. login.... wait and wait and wait... black screen... hmmmm... ok disconect reconnect.. there is the desktop...

                      b) The desktop is there but you can't click on anything.. you move the mouse and see it move, but clicking on anything, NOTHING on the RDP via KRDC (20.04) nothing.. BUT AHAHA! Its showing on the VM screen!!!!!! (If I go look on the box in the other room) and the input where I clicked to bring up the menu, and typed into syanpitc some gibberish there it was ... hmmmmm...

                      c) Try an direct XDMCP connection. xephyr to the box Xephyr -retro :1 -query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

                      i).. ok brings up the greeter... ok... enter password.. "Failed session" enter again, making sure I type correctly , it takes and attempts to start a session, nope, not going to happen. returns back to the greeter screen

                      ii) SSH in to the 22.04, do a Xephyr -retro :1 -query 127.0.0.1 same thing
                      iii) SSH in start a program with X forwarding... firefox --no-remote... first start up took forever (had not started since I did the purge, install via DEB (apt CLI), seems to start within reason after...

                      So hmmmm.. seems LightDM is the break down here.. AGAIN LET ME REITERATE, I get it, its alpha/beta testing period... I was really hoping not to see these issues in re LightDM, but I had suspicions with this whole wayturkey mess... I had great success with 20.04 at this point on a generic OEM (motile 142 laptop) I got a deal on... just a little bummed to see these issues crop in as I suspected. ....

                      I am going to rebuild the VM from pristine to the point before I add LDM, I had not rebooted after all the updates... so I want to see if that breaks the RDP server of the hypervisor..or its LightDM, I pretty much have my suspicions, sadly.

                      NOTE: I am on X11, and will be remaining on X11, period. Thats not a debate for here and now, and even later its pointless with me. That red line is set.
                      Note 2:This is a pure Linux environment, we have no winslopper. Have not for 22+ years.

                      Note 3: I am testing in a VM, and and its not on some Ryzen box, but it does the job...I've tested everything from 16.04 to 20.04 on here for years. with no issues other than what my fat fingers created! VM carcasses all over!

                      Any way where is the best spot for this feedback after I nail it down to get to some place where it will be addressed. Thanks in advance.

                      Comments on the issues and resolutions or other insight, welcome as well. ( Happy to debate as adults on X11 v. wayturkey, same in re snapdud, at at different time/place etc...but not right now)

                        The short answer is you should have/should registered/register to be a Kubuntu Tester: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuTesters

                        This really is the only effective way to get pre-release issues properly identified and reported.

                          On my laptop I have three partitions with Windows 10, Jammy and Impish. The final fdisk -l partitions are:

                          I found that Kdenlive worked well on Impish Wayland with all other related applications. However with Jammy Wayland, kdenlive hung the desktop and I could not Logout.

                          I therefore decided to do a fresh installation of Jammy and use the default Wayland packages. This is when all hell broke loose. The most noticeable problem on the re-installation was that it only booted Jammy. No Windows or Imprish boot option was visible!!!!

                          This is the first time I have encountered this problem and possible solutions relate to the EFI partition being too small - which it is not in my case.

                          Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I am sure that if I re-install Imprish this will fix it, but this will be the last resort for me.

                            You could get the grub in jammy to boot to impish and windows, by writing a custom.cfg and dropping it into /boot/grub.

                            Here's one I've used in the past:
                            Code:
                            set default="0"
                            
                            insmod all_video
                            insmod part_gpt
                            insmod btrfs
                            set timeout=30
                            set menu_color_normal=white/black
                            set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray
                            
                            menuentry 'Kubuntu from custom' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
                            search --no-floppy --label --set=root main
                            
                            linux /boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=main ro 
                            initrd /boot/initrd.img
                            }
                            
                            menuentry 'Windows' --class windows --class os {
                            insmod part_gpt
                            insmod fat
                            #search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 5EBB-BCE4
                            search --no-floppy --label --set=root SYSTEM
                            chainloader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
                            }
                            You'd have to change the label names, or change the search statements to use --fs-uuid, the linux line to use root=UUID=, and supply the UUIDs of the Windows and impish partitions. After putting custom.cfg in /boot/grub, there's no need to run update-grub. (If impish uses btrfs you'd prepend "/@/" to the vmlinuz and initrd.img file names, and the phrase "rootflags=subvol=@" to the linux line.) It might pay to check in the ESP that the Microsoft efi file has the right name.

                              After updates to Jammy this morning, I was once again faced with Jammy being my only OS. Windows 10 and Kubuntu 21.10 were not listed in the boot options.

                              I found a very simple solution to this problem at: https://arcolinuxforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=2668

                              The command sudo update-grub does not run os-prober which actually lists to missing OS's. So to get os-prober to be run by grub, I edited:
                              /etc/default/grub
                              and added the line:
                              Code:
                              # Check for other operating systems
                              GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
                              This was then followed by
                              Code:
                              sudo update-grub
                              All OS's were now found after this step and and all could be accessed.

                                I've been using a custom 'grub.cfg' for years without issue. Using 'labels' makes reading easier:

                                insmod gfxterm
                                set gfxmode=640x800
