Is there anyway to repair this, or should I make a list of my installed software and reinstall everything. I would be not to happy to reinstall because my laptop charger is broken, so I have to work on battery and have to charge with a freaking mobile charger through the USB3 port, so that would take days.
I already tried this:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
but obviously that didn't work! ( If it did I would not ask this fine community for help. )
Can anybody help me find a cure for this problem, or do I really have to reinstall ( so shortly before a new LTS is released )?
I run:
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.11.0-41-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 15,3 GiB
On HP Envy i7 CE000ns in tripleboot with Mint 20.2 Uma and Win10 ( seperated OS's and /home partitions, swap partition and win10 and 'my documents'partition ).
Thanks in advanvance for sharing your time and knowledge. I really appreciate it.
