When I boot my Kubuntu 14.10, I get login screen as normal, I log in, then Kubuntu starts loading the desktop environment (the part when those icons show up: first disk, then settings icon, then...

Wow, what do you know. Never knew those activities existed.

That fixed it, thanks!

Hello,

I have Kubuntu 13.10. I type quite fast and reckless, so I managed to press something and now a my whole desktop is empty, as if I switched virtual desktop. That means: not only are my open...

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into encfs and compare it with truecrypt and then decide.

Ah, that's KDE 3.x :-) It doesn't apply to KDE 4.

Man, sorry if you felt I was ungrateful, because I'm not :-) Thank you very much for the effort :-)

I mistyped my own name when installing Kubuntu 10.4 and realised it only recently. How do I change it? :-)

I tried chfn, but it complains about "name with non-ASCII characters" and won't change my...

1. Kubuntu 10.4 wont upgrade to 10.10 because it is LTS and you have to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set...

I gave up on ever again using SSH on my machine, then I sshed to my work machine and typed "yes" on that question and said to myself: "wait a minute, I didn't type "yes" when trying to connecto to...

Yup, the same error.

So, what do I do? :-D

Nope, I'm not.
