I finally put up with the fact that I was unable to recover my old settings. To many aspects inside the KDE framework have changed, so upgrading necessarily break a few things and can't be recovered....
Hello,
I sucessfully upgraded my Kubuntu from 14.04 to 16.04 today. When I logged on to my user account all my KDE desktop settings were gone including wireless passwords, shortcuts, widgets,...
You can always delete the files in your home directory, that is not an issue unless you have saved passwords in there before that you need to recover. But go ahead and do it, the reinstall KWallet....
In fact that's what I do too. (K)Ubuntu does not seem to recognize the output which it is supposed to use and the switching has to be done manually. It's a minor nuissance in my opinion, but I am...
Not a problem. The wireless issue may be easier to fix than your problem with Nvidia. If you like I'll try to guide you through it in the next couple of days. If the card does not work out of the...
I don't know about 12.04, but 14.04 does support the Nvidia GT 740M which I happen to own as well. It installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers and I have not had a problem since. Performance is...
You can reinstall without major problems I believe. I would go for 14.04 though, it has a better user experience and more up-to-date repositories. I don't see this will cause big issues. Just try.
Sorry, I am at a loss here. The shortcuts in KDE work well in many cases, so you could play around with it a little and see if you get these keys to work. I think we sort of pointed you in the right...
I got it, Mr Elfy. :-)
Yes, so is mine. But who knows...
Just enter:
nm-applet &
It should stay now.
You could resize your harddisk using the Ubuntu installation image. Boot from USB or CD and fire up Partition Editor to tinker with the various partitions. I am not sure what this cache partition of...
If the FN keys don't trigger an event, then we're stuck. You probably have to use another key combination (e.g. CRTL + F2/F3) and assign it using the KDE System Settings (assuming you still use...
I vaguely remember that I had issues with "suspend" as well before I decided to approach the matter in a different way. Hence I suggest that you give this tutorial a try. Like I said, it's no...
First thing you should check is whether your FN keys trigger an ACPI event. Open a terminal and type:
acpi_listen
Then press any FN key and check if it creates an output. If ACPI_LISTEN does not...
Could you open Firefox to check if you are online? Second, could you please upload a screenshot so we can see for ourselves what is going on?
Hello,
Don't give up just yet, I think your problems can be resolved. I know this is a cheap shot, but I created a HOWTO many years ago which should still work for you. Do you want to give it a...
Upgraded to 14.04 Beta (Kubuntu) without any issues. So far the best version of (K)Ubuntu that I ever had running on my machine. A lot of things have improved since 12.04 and I am very happy I could...
Hi,
Yes, I have. I got Pulseaudio to work, but performance (i.e. latency) is pretty bad. This won't work for me.
I am also looking at Jack... Any experience with that?
Hello,
I want be able to have voice conversations through my local network with someone else in a different in my house. Preferrably everything should be configurable via command line (don't ask...
Thank you for the feedback, AvocadoRed! I am thrilled to see this still works after so many years.
Perhaps something has changed over the years in terms of wireless connection at boot, I am not...
I have used MS Office 2010 with Wine for a while and it does work for me. PowerPoint isn't as reliable, but Excel & Word are both pretty stable and the UI responds well. I personally recommend using...
You're welcome. I am amazed this still works after so many year. Rock on!
"cp" cannot do that, but you might give "scp" a shot. Use Google to find more documentation on it.
I know this might not be a satisfying answer, but hiding the SSID adds no extra security. You might want to broadcast it and take the path of least resistance. :-)
