Can’t install core desktop with FDE enabled error on setting TPM configuration and installer stops. All is good when FDE is off. Optimus system and can’t send error reports since it won’t detect my WIFI so no internet.
Couple times I see it loading questing quakka branches and try and then I hit black screen only

I could not solve this one so I just purged Ubuntu Studio and install XFCE as a session.
Unless you are actually on Ubuntu Studio, you should never install ubuntustudio-desktop or ubuntustudio-default-settings. Use ubuntustudio-installer, run it, and only install what you need from there. It does not and will not install ubuntustudio-default-settings or ubuntustudio-desktop.
Weird. It might be resolving a dependency. Those packages, their dependencies, and their provides haven’t been changed. I suspect it’s an issue on your machine.
The reasons the Ubuntu Studio packages do that is because ubuntustudio-default-settings and kubuntu-settings-desktop cinflict as they have a lot of the same files. Remember, Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu are the two flavors not defined by the desktop environment, which means there will be overlap and problems if you attempt to install their respective desktop packages.
In other words, you’re attempting something that is unsupported.
Ha that’s a good one, problem comes in with daily upgrades And I’m doing something unsupported?
LOL LOL LOL
Correction, I did format this as ZFS root, but that should not have any bearing for a broke upgrade.
Come On @eeickmeyer really?

Been Testing since 2005 I know the possible pit falls from that choice.
My post was about "my " dailey update and upgrades, you kept pointing your finger at me or my machine I did not agree…anyway I cobbled it back together til next time.
Peace
Looks like apt hit a problem with installing “dracut” in this morning’s 150± package upgrades?? Try to “-f install” and “dpkg --configure -a” but it doesn’t resolve the problem. Tumbleweed has been using dracut for a while, don’t recall seeing it in ubuntu??
dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
dracut -> dracut
packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
dracut: update-initramfs
dpkg: error processing package dracut (--configure):
triggers looping, abandoned
Errors were encountered while processing:
dracut
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Combining a couple of the error messages . . . . Possibly this is non-critical??
Running Ubuntu Questing without any issues so far. Can’t wait for Debian 13 to release so the flood gates can open again. GCC15 is heavily needed. Hyprland 0.49 cannot be compiled without it.
Current Images up to Aug 29 has a WIFI bug. I would report it but they are holding up current ISO’s until it is fixed. I downloaded the current Aug 27 ISO. It will acknowledge the Network and allow a login to the network but it doesn’t bring in the WIFI. FYI
For ISO build see ubuntu : Live filesystems : “Ubuntu CD Image Team” team
I’m writing from system installed from Ubuntu 25.10 “Questing Quokka” - Daily amd64 (20250826)
Works fine if you remove the home icon from desktop to remove a lot of error messages:
DING: Exception while updating an icon: this._desktopFile.has_key is not a function
@corradoventu Thanks for the link. Looks like they reported a successful build four hours ago (Sept 2). I will wait until they post it and boot the ISO to see if the WIFI works on my test machine.
