In Australia there have been many viruses circulating simultaneously such as Flu, COVID and RSV. I understand that this is happening in other countries and it wouldn't surprise me if the delays are caused by some developers being infected and not able to contribute as they would like to do. If this is the case, I wish all those unwell, the very best for a good recovery,

It is now just 3 Months before the Release of Oracular Oriole 24.10.
While this past month has had many updates, the basic Info Centre Versions are unchanged. So this would have to be one of the easiest progress updates I have ever done.
I decided to copy a small quantity of type of updates that have been happening and this is illustrated below.

I have now managed to install KDE Plasma 6.1.4, Frameworks 6.4.0, QT Version 6.6.2 using my proposed ppa's
Code:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-plasma sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-frameworks
I found out why System Settings did not work because somehow the name given to it had a 5 at the end? After getting System Settings to work and sorting out all my "Sacrificial Laptop" settings, Plasma 6.1.4 flies and I am very happy with it.
Congratulations to the developers on a job well done!!!!Last edited by NoWorries; Aug 09, 2024, 05:04 PM.

I actually suspect this may be better than the current scheme of taking patches from the newer kernels and applying them to the older ones. I think this might reduce the amount of breakages when they have security and other kernel updates.

It is now just 2 Months before the Release of Oracular Oriole 24.10.
There have been many updates which consolidate the versions of current packages that I have installed, eg ubuntu4 to ubuntu5.
Now for the current Info Centre listing since last months release.
3 Months To Go 2 Months To Go KDE Plasma Version 5.27.11 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version 5.116 5.116 QT Version 5.15.13 5.15.13 Application Version 4:23.08.5 4:23.08.5 Kernel Version 6.8.0-31-generic 6.8.0-31-generic
As you can see, Oracular has not changed in the Versions listed last month. Because of this, I decided to try the proposed plasma and frameworks ppas on my “Sacrificial Desktop” which is an ASUS R501VM Core i7 3610QM that I purchase in December 2012. Using the proposed ppas is definitely not approved by some of those on this forum. Anyhow, as shown in my post #18 above, I have listed below the version differences with the proposed ppa and the current system.
2 Months To Go Proposed ppas for Plasma & Frameworks KDE Plasma Version 5.27.11 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version 5.116 6.4.0 QT Version 5.15.13 6.6.2 Application Version 4:23.08.5 4:23.08.5 Kernel Version 6.8.0-31-generic 6.8.0-31-generic
On Wayland, Glmark2 was about 2750 which is close to 3.5 times faster than on x11. So considering the age of my Laptop, I am very satisfied with this performance.
I just hope that the developers are able to get the proposed changes into this 24.10 System before its release.

Kubuntu at the freeze of 24.10 (20 September 2024) includes an RC kernel, in the hope that it will become stable within a month. But, if a week before the final release, the kernel is still in the RC phase, what do they do? Do they hastily regress to the latest ‘stable kernel’ and release version 24.10 with only one week of testing? I think that is not a good idea.CPU Intel Core i7-4790, 8 GB RAM DDR3, 2014 Asus motherboard, Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4600, 500 GB SSD Samsung EVO 850, LG BD-RE burner, Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter, Audio Device Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller.

I have a NVIDIA card on my system, however I have never been able to get it to work because it is rather an old NVIDIA card. I have instead installed xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, ubuntu-drivers-common and vdpau-driver-all plus other related packages. I suspect that these, and the other packages that I have installed are there because of original nouveau package that I installed.
I hope the your update of extra packages results in your system working. Otherwise you may have to resort to what I did, which was purge all nvidia* packages and install the nouveau packages. At least my system is working with the latest updates.

Over on Ubuntu Forums, it's being said that the daily ISO now includes Plasma 6
Meanwhile, I'm having a weird issue downloading anything - the browser (I've tried both Chrome & Firefox) waits around 15 seconds before offering a "Save as" box, whether it's a 170-byte text file or a multi-GB ISO image.
