Marc,
I installed the breeze decorations. All I get was a lot more problems added
into the current situation:
1) All the icons on the desktop disappeared. (For some reason, the change in
decorations renewed the entire breeze desktop and deleted the icons and other
items shown on the screen in directory "/home/dad/Desktop". BUT, all the
elements are alive and well in "/home/dad/Desktop" if I use dolphin or any
other file program I can access and use them.
2) All reported previous problems continued.
3) The desktop crashes appear not to occur any more.
4) The kde debug functions went away, but without a crash I cannot test it. I
tried a test and got this:
I tried to re-install the debug for kde I get:
"root@dad314159:/home/dad/Desktop# apt-get install --reinstall kded5-dbg*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package kded5-dbg_5.18.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'kded5-dbg_5.18.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'kded5-dbg_5.18.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb'"
To fix this, I tried to download the offending packages:
When I download kded5-dbg_5.18.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and try to install it I get
refusal because a later version is already installed.
============NEW MAJOR PROBLEM================
5) My WiFi disappeared and that included the ifconfig recognition of the WiFi
hardware. I am dual boot, so I checked with Win10 and it worked just fine (dual
boot). I re-installed the network software "apt-get install --reinstall -f
--allow-downgrades net*" and this failed at the debug section. I then tried
"apt-get install --reinstall -f --allow-downgrades netw*" and succeeded. (No
downgrades needed) Still, no Wlan1. I installed the Broadcomm device software,
and it failed, but when I un-installed it, the O/S (via ifconfig) saw the Wlan1
device again, and continues to do so each new boot. I now can get the WiFi by
performing the following:
a) Open an xterminal
b) shift to "su" via "sudo su"
c) execute: sudo nm-applet & (Note: the sudo is needed ???)
(an icon of two screens appears on the launch bar and when moused says
"NETWORKING". It does nothing.)
d) wait while numerous complaints about the modem are printed.
e) execute: killall nm-applet && nm-applet &
The two screen icon disappears and a two particle orbiting icon takes it's
place. I will then get password login from keyring (which I created the first
time when asked since this latest version of a disaster started). Once entered,
the WiFi starts using the WiFi password I provided when asked since this latest
version of a disaster started. The wifi "bars" icon will now replace the
previous icon.
I would really like to download a kubuntu iso disk that will re-install
everything on this broken partition without destroying my data links and
desktop information. It would contain all agreeing versions of operational
software, correct ppa information, etc. It would leave applications like
pianoteq, virtualbox, wine, eclipse, etc., intact. This would be an alignment
disk that can ask the user about each application it will need to re-install
(to deal with dependencies), etc. Is there such a thing???
