[SOLVED] Kubuntu And UKUU

system001 · 06-16-2019, 08:24 AM

yesterday i took the plunge and installed kubuntu 19.04 along side kde neon. the install went without a hitch as i expected. great job on this release everyone involved, just a couple of things though. once on the desktop kubuntu did the updates that were available without issue. from there i installed kde-full, and updated plasma to 5.16, synaptic, and installed and applied the darkine theme without issue. what i seem to have a issue with is updating the kernel, more specifically getting ukuu to even install so i can update the kernel. i used the same instructions that i used for neon and had no issue in in neon https://fossbytes.com/install-upgrad...ntu-mint-ukuu/ . any suggestions on fixing this would be greatly appreciated. thanks

side mote: the nvidia 430 driver listed is only in neon. i have yet to update the driver in kubunu.

Kubuntu 19.04 Kernel 5.0 - KDE Neon Kernel 5.1.7,

the link you posted is invalid. ukuu is payware and I think not really required if you want to update your kernel. But you need to tell us the version of your kubuntu and also what's happened during the install of ukuu. Why do you need to update your kernel at all?

fixed the first post to reflect kubuntu version 19.04. kept thinking i was forgetting something. as for why i like to update the kernel i found the nvidia drivers play better the newer the kernel. not sure what happened to the link, but fixed now. i get the following. thanks

Code:

I guess the package is not in the configured repositories...

that seems to be for 18.04 down to 14.04. i did a manual kernel update from a youtube vid a friend sent me. i'm now on kernel 5.1.7 in kubuntu. never realized how easy it was to manually update the kernel. thanks for try to help guys.
