Audio tray is missing (using the package pavucontrol allows me to change volume)
Media keys not working (xev detects media keys correctly, global shortcuts are set to default, but there is no action performed)
Window Decorations library module orphaned or missing (this was fixed eventually in an update)

I changed all the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list to cosmic and ran:

apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
apt autoremove


Then did the same process to upgrade to disco. The only 3 issues I noticed were: missing audio tray, media keys not working (xev detects, global shortcuts are default, but no action is taken), and I was not able to access Window Decorations to edit them.

I've been running the commands below over the past couple days after attempting to install random packages that did not help. Eventually my window decorations page in settings came back.

I now realize running both apt and pkcon is redundant but I was hoping at the time that pkcon would remedy package conflicts. apt's formatting is much easier on the eyes and I don't think there's a difference anymore when running either as they download and install the same number of packages.

The missing audio tray and nonfunctioning media keys are still present.

I know there isn't much interest in fixing this as Neon isn't meant to be on a non-LTS distro, but it'd be nice to see what I can do to maintain a bug free system. I've linked the output of

Code: Select all

apt list

. Unfortunately it hits the 512kb cap for all the text-bin sites I know.

I'm pretty new to this so apologies for the bug report being all over the place, but KDE Neon/Linux is really fun and I'd love to get more directions to working on it. Any ideas, man pages, or commands I should be running to better diagnose my audio tray and media key issue?

Then there are the packaging conflicts with mixing Neon's packaging with Kubuntu's, which do have some differences, as well as version mis-matches between not only Qt versions, but very likely Plasma, Frameworks, and Applications. Hence the missing things you see. I don 't see any simple or easy way of going back, or of fixing things as there are likely a very large number of packages involved here.

Pkcon has no advantages over apt here, and there is no danger in using either or both, as far as I am aware. It is just redundant here.
Running apt upgrade before apt full-upgrade (or apt-get dist-upgrade) is also redundant.

Yeah, I knew this wouldn't be well received. Regardless I understand the onus is on me, I was just hoping to see if I could mash it together enough to get it working on a higher distro for the fun of it. I don't believe I converted to a broken Kubuntu as I've used the main Ubuntu repos rather than Kubuntu's PPA, whose newest distro is cosmic. Might as well Frankenstein it all together before reinstalling

Do you think prioritizing neon's PPA package manifest on a fresh install would create better results?
