ajgreeny, thanks for responding. Kubuntu's "System Settings" does have a Window Management option (alongside the Workspace Behavior) and it has a lot of options, but none related to dragging a window...

Vidtek, yes -- That's where I've always set up the function to move windows to different desktop/workspaces by dragging. I set that up in this Kubuntu 20.04 back in May, when I installed it, and it...

I have been using Kubuntu for about ten years, moving up to the latest LTS version as they become available. I installed Kubuntu 20.04 a couple of months ago and have been using it daily since then....

I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 20.04 (plasma 5.18). I have configured Dolphin to allow deletion of files directly (rather than running them through Trash, then emptying Trash). In previous versions...

Beautiful! So simple and elegant, for all that it's so obscure. It works a charm -- thank you!

I installed Lubuntu 18.04 a few months ago, after several years of using Kubuntu in various LTS versions. The LXQt desktop is taking some getting used to, but for the most part, I can learn to use...

I've recently installed Lubuntu 18.04 (after having used Kubuntu for eight years) and under certain circumstances, clicking to open a folder opens in instance of Kaffeine rather than displaying a...

I've recently switched from Kubuntu (after about 8 years of using it) to Lubuntu 19.04. Mostly, it's running well. The exceptions are the LAMP packages. I tried installing via the tasksel utility,...

Thanks again for your effort, darkod. The only major configuration (apart from recreating the fstab, which I'll save on a backup disk and re-create, one line at a time, testing in between) will be...

Thanks for your suggestions, darkod. The /home directory is empty when the sda6 partition is not mounted.

I tried the re-boot and log inspection and found nothing useful. I filtered by date-stamp...

This is a home system. I installed it about a year ago from an ISO image I downloaded from Ubuntu. It was specifically a server version.

darkod, df -h returns this:
Filesystem Size Used...

Ownership of /home by root is understandable; anything else would limit some users on a multi-user system. What does surprise me is the permissions settings, the fact that even when those are...

That looks like it may be the source of the trouble. The permissions are rwxr-xr-x and the owner and group are root root. (The individual subdirectories for qajaq and willy are appropriately owned by...

Using Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 - command-line only (no GUI): login screen allows me to enter my regular user-name (qajaq) and password, but then merely flashes the usual welcome message for an instant...

That did it -- Thank you! (And yes, my files are backed-up daily.)

I've run
$ apt-get update followed by
$ apt-get upgrade. . . but when I re-boot I still get the pop-up telling me that "Security Updates are Available."

I looked at the Muon Package Manager,...

Re-booted yesterday afternoon and the desktop icons were not there. Checked the desktop properties and the display was still set to "Folder View."

Good question. I'll have to wait until the phenomenon happens again to check on that.

Yes. I just checked and it was already set to "Folder View."

Euroman, I have the icons directly on the desktop. One of the first things I did when I installed 12.04 a year ago was to shut down the plasmoid/widget and I've never used it since. I don't see any...

I've been using Kubuntu 12.04 for a little over a year, now. I have numerous icons for software on the panel, and I have soft-links to four data files included in my ~/Desktop folder. More often than...

I installed Kubuntu 12.04 on one of my desktop machines a couple months ago and I've been using it extensively since then - including very frequent use of the Dolphin file manager. I find that I do...

That did it. I set the static IP, Netmask, and Gateway, and the static DNS fields "DNS1" and "DNS2" and I now have network connection on boot-up, using the assigned static IP address. SSH works from...

Thanks for that. I didn't un-install wicd (I'll still need it when I connect to wireless networks away from home), but I un-checked wicd's "Connect automatically to this network" box. That does...

I've set up static IP addresses in Kubuntu 9.04 on a couple different machines in the past and in Kubuntu 12.04 on another machine just this evening, and while I've encountered challenges in those...
