Bear with me as there's a series of problems. Look also at Toz's guidance in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1789514. I do not understand the two lines in the repositories referred to in No. 4 in this posting and in my last posting to this thread.
1) a routine 18 MB FireFox internal update fails to open with U able to set a new URL, open "gmail.com" or another http,,, chrome opens but has a similar dysfunction; is like something is frozen. A) Firefox failed to open giving you a chance to set a URL; there's no way to get back to a prior page; b) after the 18 mb internal update, as before all I get is a search screen & no way to page back or page ahead except to shut the page and reopen. I don't know how to describe the hang up.
2) two days back I did a terminal sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop but failed to select kde or gdm [and now cannot do the config which sets kde as my preference. Since doing the sudo kubuntu install, I see a kubuntu page, then a blank dark blue page that slowly opens as the pre-terminal kubuntu install.
3) about 20 days back to get my Canon pisma mx420 I did a terminal sudo as recommended by ubuntubuzz.com and gave up as the ppa solely made CUPS contact with my new printer but fails to print; my $5 HP LaserJet bought out of a flea market prints well showing CUPS will deliver
4) falkTX's kxstudio ppa appears to have mounted okay but I've not had time to do any video production. I can neither say or not say if the ppa for kxstudio functions or does not function
Please help. Problems one and two are critical. I feel configuration of the kde vs. gdm selection which is supposed to happen before one does a sudo apg-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then sudo apt-get autoremove may be a solution. Do please share light on what must be done. Wow, it takes three-six minutes to post my description once written. Do not get why all this extra time was needed.
If I should report this as a bug, let me know.
Note, am running 11.04 amd 64bit built to kxstudio, which does not boot with the ubuntu studio icon. oh yes, I have a 4 or 6 gig video card and I believe 4 gig of ram on this PC.
