Bug ID: 484172 Summary: Can't install `system76-driver` package Classification: KDE Neon Product: neon Version: unspecified Platform: Neon OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Packages User Edition Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org Reporter: titovalen...@proton.me CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE I'm trying to install the **System76 drivers for my hardware**. I run the following commands: ``` sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:system76-dev/stable sudo apt-get update (or `sudo pkcon refresh`) sudo apt install system76-driver (or `sudo pkcon install system76-driver`) ``` I get the following errors: ``` $ pkcon install system76-driver Resolving [=========================] Testing changes [=========================] Finished [=========================] Fatal error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: neon-desktop: Depends: powerdevil but it is not going to be installed Recommends: power-profiles-daemon but it is not installable ``` OR ``` Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: neon-desktop : Depends: powerdevil but it is not going to be installed Recommends: power-profiles-daemon but it is not installable E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. ``` When I contacted System76 Support, this is what they had to say: > Thank you for reaching out to our support team! The KDE Neon package for > their desktop causes issues with installing our driver. That will need to be > fixed on their end in order for the package to be installed. > It looks like it is neon-desktop which depends on power-profiles-daemon since > powerdevil depends on it. I think it is neon-desktop since plasma itself can > be installed using Ubuntu packaging. I'm not sure where to go from here. Considering System76 is a major hardware vendor, I am hoping this gets the proper attention needed since none of their hardware works with KDE Neon + System76 drivers. I am running LTS 22.04 and KDE 6. I have the latest install. I believe in 20.04, this wasn't an issue but then something broke in 20.04 with some update and I could never recover. At that point, I switched to Fedora. However, I'm trying to give KDE Neon another shot because of the LTS + Latest KDE but still have the same issues that drove me away. This has been like that for more than a year and it's probably important to look at. Any help with this will be appreciated!
