Hey all,

With the 26.04 release, is there any chance of going back to (or making available) an LTS-style kernel? The rolling kernel has been nice, particularly through 22.04 and 24.04's long lifespans, but i wonder if it would be less necessary going forwards.

For context, over the past year I have had break due to kernel upgrades:

- my mouse, because it's a logitech and there's a heap of churn in this area

- the whole desktop env refused to come up for a couple of days due to some upstream bug (that was hotfixed quickly)

- WiFi broke in June for about a month

- For around a month at the start of the year, my lappy was hanging on s3 resume due to some WiFi firmware thing i believe

None of the above is System76's direct fault, it's just the nature of life with fresh upstream kernels. The end result is not great though: my systems sometimes go kaput and all i can do is whinge and wait. Frankly if I wanted to live on the bleeding edge like this I'd be on Arch.

So - is there any appetite for a more stable kernel release model now we are getting back up to speed with Ubuntu bases? Particularly with S76's focus on workstations and productivity work - on my gaming box at home then I can shrug and go do something else, but particularly for my work machines I really would value a more stable kernel.

I recently installed PopOS (NVidia) on my Acer laptop with an external display (not mirrored). I switched to GNOME due to some preferences over COSMIC, but have seen:

1. Alt+Tab activity works but only kindof (no popup that I swore was there)

2. My external display continues to work as expected but at somr point my main laptop monitor freezes and does not update at all

Sorry if already known. I’ve seen some people saying that they’ve already upgraded to the latest release, but I haven’t done that yet.

TIA.

My system76 laptop running 24.04 currently has the 595.84 nvidia driver. I'd like to upgrade to at least the 610.43 driver to resolve issues while gaming.

apt upgrade shows everything is current but apt list -a nvidia-driver-* shows noble-updates up to 610.57. Is there a reason why it's stuck at 595.84? Can I safely install 610.57 manually and if so how?

Full disclosure I got that apt list command from google and I may not be understanding the output fully.

I upgraded to 26.04 yesterday with no hiccups (kudos to the System76 team, y'all are doing exceptional work), and one thing I was eager to have was the updated apt repos, since 24.04's ratbagd was still on an outdated API and so couldn't function with any form of piper, and I didn't want to bother with an external PPA.

The good news is the 26.04 apt repos do indeed have the updated ratbagd files, and piper does fire up and detect my Logitech mouse. The bad news is that trying to actually APPLY any button configurations or DPI's to any profiles immediately results in a "something went wrong, device was reverted to a previous state." I did some basic `ratbagctl list` and `ratbagd --verbose=raw/debug` and nothing was out of the ordinary, except of course that some profiles were labeled dirty since none of the piper changes could be applied.

Perhaps this is a Pop-OS independent issue, but I wanted to see if anyone had run into similar issues.

Hello,
I just installed a b550 WiFi plus II, with a Ryzen 7 5800x3d, 16 gigs T-force DDR4, 500 gig NVMe and a rosewill frost max 240/360 digital AIO. Also fresh install of Pop_OS!

Now, I’m up and running. I have everything going well after some problem shooting using various AI (read that as Claude and Gemini). I’m desperately trying to get temp monitor on the led screen on my pump. I’ve been trouble shooting with Gemini on trying to just get that displayed.
Doing a google search has turned up there isn’t a native program or support for that.
So I turn here, for help in getting this sorted. I’m brand new to Linux and AIOs. So consider me dumb.
Can anyone help me solve this problem or point me a better direction? I’m sick of beating my head against trying to map out which index triggers which light in a certain direction and only messing everything up when I think I’m getting close.
TIA

Hi everyone,

I was able to add applets and change their positions in the settings app, but now they don't even appear there. I can still place them with COSMIC Store by clicking "Place on desktop", but they don't show up in the settings app, so I can't change their position or remove them from the panel. I don't know what caused it to break and restarting panel or logging out and logging back in does not fix it. Is there a solution to fix this?

Hi everyone,

I've used both Pop!_OS and CachyOS with COSMIC. External applets installed via the COSMIC Flatpak don't have blur on CachyOS, but they do have it on Pop!_OS. The built-in applets look the same on both, so it's only the external ones that are missing it. Why might this be happening, and how can I fix it? (I made sure that applet supports blur and I used the applet called "Day" made by Hojjat)

Doesn't this seem a bit off?

kli@pop-os:~$ fcitx5 -v 5.1.19 kli@pop-os:~$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland kli@pop-os:~$ echo $GTK_IM_MODULE

kli@pop-os:~$ echo $QT_IM_MODULE

kli@pop-os:~$ echo $XMODIFIERS

kli@pop-os:~$ pidof fcitx5 9143

What does this mean and how do l fix it?

tengo la version mas reciente de pop os, instale asseto corsa 2014 y content manager junto con el csp, el content manager y csp actualizados, es importante saber esto por que asseto corsa solo me abre el menu, pero al momento de arrancar una carrera se cierra sin explicar, en content manager tampoco abre, pero al menos me da una explicacion, he intentado las versiones proton que recomiendan en protondb y mas recomendaciones y nada funciona, cuando le doy a inicar carrera aparece este primer aviso:

Please make sure you're using correct AC version (v1.16.3 or v1.16.4, 64-bit).

Would you want to continue without Custom Shaders Patch?

Pop os

Sound problems constantly keep coming back! Any fixes are short live and return after updates. This has been going for 6 months. Is the System 76 team not aware of this issue. People must be getting sick of this happening.

It's a issue that needs to be top priority.

Any help would be great 👍🏼

I've successful upgraded my 1st laptop to 26.04, but now I can't upgrade the 2nd. It always abort the operation in the first seconds, before download any package.

Upstream key-caster was abandoned and had issues with modern Wayland compositors (tested on COSMIC), non-root permissions, and multi-keyboard layouts.

it keeps changing back to balanced every time I restart.. is there a way to make it stay on high performance? thanks!

In Cosmic, I installed gnome-terminal. When launched from command line it shows in the Dock as gnome-terminal-server. I can try to pin it to the Dock but it is not launchable afterwards. Is it possible to manually edit (like text-based) the apps in Dock? Or otherwise fix this launcher?

I just curious what makes my microphone on my headphone is working as input. Usually when I am on arch based distro, it won't works at all. I couldn't even see the headphone list in sound settings. Oh, it is a wired headphonem by the way.
