I'm actually running Kubuntu 24.04. It's not allowing me to update the issue to correct this.

[chriswalken]

Ubuntu is now actively pushing 24.04. Are there any plans to address this soon?

I'm seeing this on Ubuntu 24.04 as well as Lubuntu and Mint, both based on the same version of Ubuntu. All three were clean installs. I've tried re-installing, re-enabling the service, etc. But no dice.
