Welcome to the latest issue of Full Circle
As ever, we have the usual suspects of Python, Inkscape, Krita and Rawtherapee, and the second part of the new series on creating podcasts in Linux.
Long time readers of FCM will know that my first brush with Linux was with Kubuntu and KDE (3.5) many moons ago. I gave up on it when KDE4.0 arrived on the scene (unusable), briefly returned when it stabilised at 4.5, but left again when Plasma 5 came along as it didn't have a GUI for my graphics tablet. Well, a couple of weeks ago I decided to give the latest Kubuntu Live DVD a try. Just for old time sakes. And, wouldn't you know it, they've added the missing graphics tablet GUI! I'm not sure when it was added, but I duly installed Kubuntu 20.04.1 and it feels good to be back. I'm still not sure why they quickly abandoned KDE 4 for Plasma 5. I just hope they don't suddenly abandon Plasma 5 now that I've installed it.
One issue that I had, on installing Kubuntu 20.04.1, was that I had no sound. I tried all sorts of possible solutions. I could see (in Pavucontrol) that the sound was being produced as the little bar jumped up and down to the inaudible sound. Only after several days of head scratching did I find my solution. It turns out my PC has two output jacks and Kubuntu had decided to switch jacks. I only found the second jack after much crawling on my knees with a torch under my desk. That reminds me, I need get the hoover out…
Stay safe and well!
All the best, and keep in touch! Ronnie ronnie@fullcirclemagazine.org
