Hello all,

I have an old laptop that still has Kubuntu 12.10 on it, but have recently tried upgrading to a newer version of the OS. When it's connected to the internet, it will say that a newer...

Did anything ever come of this; does anybody know how to unhide the icons?

This worked for my Acer Aspire 6530G running Lucid. Thanks.

How would I change the fonts of KDE applications while using GNOME? Before, I used to install kcontrol or systemsettings, but the Fonts module isn't in the systemsettings package.

I tried this but the fonts haven't changed. Were they meant to?

Is it possible to disable the mobile broadband connection wizard? It appears twice every time I connect one of my mobile phones and it is getting quite annoying.

It worked, thank you.

I didn't use an image, I just resized the partition while using the LiveCD before installing the OS. Should I still do this and can I do it in recovery mode?

I don't want the space outside the partition, I want the space that is assigned to it. The partition is 74.02 GB in size but I'm only able to access 49.2 GB. As a result, 45/74.02 apparently equals...

I keep it because it's a part of the desktop. I am still having problems with Compiz loading with KDE4, even when it is disabled in GNOME. KWin is not showing in the system monitor, only Compiz,...
