Already today, I want to do a fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS - because the system does not enable me anymore to put backups at external HD's or USB sticks. However, before doing so, I want to submit the bug report. Note, Valorie and other developers......... Go to the download sites.... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/">https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/">https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/</a> I have a strong preference for a Bittorrent download, because it is more quick and reliable. However, when clicking at the KTorrent link for Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, I get this non-result: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/_wp_link_placeholder">https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/_wp_link_placeholder</a> Is it possible for you or one of the other site administrators to fix this problem? I have tried to download the ISO in the regular way. However, the .iso file I got this morning does not pass the SHA256 checksum test. Now, I am downloading it again in the same way, for lack of a BitTorrent link that is functional. I really want to make today a fresh install - I cannot wait for the hardware upgrade, cause the system that is at my laptop now, is simply not functional anymore. <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CACpu0252BR08A2Xp+UB64CfeEU=B5fkcpf2gjwBX4eas4YO-xQ@mail.gmail.com"> <div dir="ltr"> <div> </div> <div>Again, sorry to hear about your difficulties with Kubuntu. </div> </div> </blockquote> I hope to hear from you again with a reply at this message. <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:CACpu0252BR08A2Xp+UB64CfeEU=B5fkcpf2gjwBX4eas4YO-xQ@mail.gmail.com"> <div dir="ltr"> <div> </div> <div>All the best, </div> </div> </blockquote> Thanks for your feedback.

Hello Everybody. Only a few weeks ago, I installed Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS at my Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, 4GB RAM and 250 GB SSD at present. In a few weeks from now, I'll go to a computer repair shop that will add an extra SSD of 1 GB and 2 DDR 3, 1600 Mhz memory banks - with a view to getting 16 GB RAM. My idea was the following.... STEP 1. Prepare a system with the all the packages and languages modules I need for 10 languages - spell and grammar check, etc. STEP 2. Upgrade from Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS to Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. STEP 3. Prepare a data only backup via Backintime or Luckybackup. STEP 3A. Prepare a system backup via Timeshift. However, this is too complicated for now - I'll start using Timeshift after getting the new 1 TB SSD. The old 250 GB SSD, I want to use for the Timeshift system-backup. My practice experience makes me clear that Timeshift is NOT good for migration from one disk or one laptop to another. STEP 3B. Prepare migration from the smaller to the bigger SSD: via a compressed CloneZilla ISO image of the whole SSD at a Ventoy USB. Like this, I wanted to port all the packages, language modules, etc. to the bigger, new SSD. STEP 3C. After getting the new SSD and RAM memory.... Installing the whole system and all data from the CloneZilla ISO. COMPLICATIONS EVER SINCE YESTERDAY, THURSDAY 25-04-2024. After installing Backintime, for the data only backup, the system does not 'see' anymore my 4 TB external hard disks, formatted in EXT4. Also a 2 TB USB stick formatted in FAT32 can not be used any more. Note - I am using USB 3.0 ports..... So, I uninstalled again Backintime. And I copied some temporal data backups to Wetransfer. Yesterday, Kubuntu 24.04 LTS has been released. However, I do not manage to upgrade to it. That's why, I did several attempts to upgrade to Kubuntu 23.10, prior to upgrading to the newest LTS version. However, because of my ppa backports, I was not able to do an upgrade. So, I have removed the backports and also Flatpak - via the package managers at my system. However, those efforts did not help. Several attempts to upgrade to 23.10 ended up like this: «(...) bas@Camino:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop Checking for a new Ubuntu release ERROR:root:getting the encoding failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeView.py", line 39, in <module> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") File "/usr/lib/python3.10/locale.py", line 620, in setlocale return _setlocale(category, locale) locale.Error: unsupported locale setting = Welcome to Ubuntu 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur' = The Ubuntu team is proud to announce Ubuntu 23.10 'Mantic Minotaur'.

Done bas@Camino:~$ (...)» I have been checking main.log and apt.log as well as some other logs in '/var/log/dist-upgrade' Main problem - too many broken packages and depencies. Now, I am considering two options: OPTION 1. Trying to use the Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS ISO at my Ventoy stick to fix the many broken packages. OPTION 2. Downloading the Kubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO and putting it at the same Ventoy stick, after which I fresh-install this new LTS. About option 1 - is there a simple and quick way to fix the broken packages? If not, I take recourse to option 2. If you are interested, I can provide you with a few long error reports of '/var/log/dist-upgrade' - notable main.log and apt.log. Yours. Bas. -- ==== Bas G.
