> My apologies to the triage crew. My brain is more attuned to visual physics than languages and programming No worries, I get it. This stuff is complicated! You don't need to install kdebugssettings to debug Discover. If it's not installable on your system for any reason, that's a distro packaging bug. If for some reason the distro has also not set up the system properly for debug symbols, that's also a distro configuration issue. Thankfully, https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Ubuntu-based_distros_(Ubuntu,_Kubuntu,_KDE_Neon,_Linux_Mint) tells me that things are better in version 22.10 of Ubuntu Studio. But unfortunately you're on version 22.04 so you don't benefit from those improvements. I would recommend upgrading to Ubuntu Studio 22.10 if you're able. In general using newer software rather than older software will make your life better. :) No need to report the crash bug to KDE because you're using an old version of Discover that's out of support. Your options are to upgrade to a newer, more supported version (i.e. Discover from Plasma 5.26 or Plasma 5.27) or ask the Ubuntu Studio folks for support. Good luck! 2023-03-07: I just tried installing kdebugsettings and I have the same "Failed to install: not supported" message. If this is necessary for getting meaningful backtrace info when Discover Notify crashes again or any other KDE app including crash and is not a bug, please help me understand how do I or what do I do to provide the information requested. Or to whom I should be reporting this problem. Note, Present logs System Log 3/7/23 10:26 PM l-g905 gnome-software[49452] failed to convert URL to GsApp: no application was created for running url-to-app on plugin=packagekit with dedupe-flags=7 with timeout=60 with search=appstream://org.kde.kdebugsettings/, elapsed time since creation 392ms Jurnal Log 3/7/23 10:26 PM user@1000.service failed to convert URL to GsApp: no application was created for running url-to-app on plugin=packagekit with dedupe-flags=7 with timeout=60 with search=appstream://org.kde.kdebugsettings/, elapsed time since creation 392ms I did the install of kdebugsettings using the the [install on Linux] button once again on the kdebugsettings site, where it also states that it works with Discover implying it does not work with Software 41.5. The error message is from Software 41.5 and not as would be expected Discover. If the first problem is that The [install on Linux] buttons call is to the wrong app or there is a glitch in Ubuntu Studio that is connecting the call to the wrong app. Who's realm is that process and how do I alert them of what is happening. These aren't KDE issues, they're Ubuntu Studio issues. Like I said I recommend upgrading Ubuntu Studio to get the new version that makes this better. If you need further support, please direct it to the Ubuntu Studio team. Thanks! Thank You, especially for the wrong version alert! I somehow managed to download the wrong ISO in early January this year for my new computer thinking I had the latest. My Bad. Will upgrade to 22.10 immediately. Also for the link, and explanation about how it is more likely a Distro error. I have Guidelines and HOWTOs/Debugging/How to create useful crash reports open and see it is the latest revision. Upgrade to 22.10 then lots of reading and learning to do. Thanks for your patience |
