    The "cat" code worked this time around... after I "cd /". But I am still being disconnected from Plymouth. Interestingly enough the recovery boots worked this time and the normal ones did not.

    That command doesn't fix things.

    I'm sorry, I thought I mentioned that I needed to see the output of that to see what broken packages... I still would like to see that please.

    Oh it just does its job and leaves. What I mean by that is that there is no output. Just another line to enter your commands. I thought it would fix things because of " | grep broken". I am unfamiliar with something like that.

    So from what you just said- form the output of apt-get's history, grep is not seeing any broken packages? And there was was out from "sudo apt-get install -f" saying there were any dependency problems of packages that needed to be fixed?

    And there "is" still a problem with all that right? (It just didn't go away on you and we just didn't realize it, right? I think I already know that answer.

    I know I'm going to regret this but, can you please post the whole /var/log/apt/history.log file. as it is, without any filters...

    If I remember correctly there are no remaining packages that need to be fixed. Although if you say so I will find out once more. I believe the problem is that I need a specific "xserver-xorg-core" package version. The one that I had before problems. If I wanted to update the package I should have updated "xserver" altogether no?

    How do you suppose I do that? First of all what line of code would enable for me to view it all? And second would the output not be quite long? How can I "pastebin" all of that? Unless you expect me to copy down the entire thing on paper by hand then type it all over again here...

    Edit: Oh wait never mind I was thinking of something else (for viewing the history.log on the command line).

    So know that there are no broken packages and no unmet dependencies (reported)... Does that mean xserver-core or whatever now shows no errors from __ ?
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Now that those problems are fixed...

    Please remove "splash" and "quiet" from your grub menu entries.

    Instructions:
    1) Edit the file /etc/default/grub as root*. You should see a line that looks like:
    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
    Comment this line out
    Code:
    # GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
    or delete the text within the quotation marks, leaving the quotation marks...
    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
    Either way / One of the two methods. Save and exit.

    2) Run:
    Code:
    sudo update-grub
    Reboot and see what happens / if it fixes it.

    * There are many ways to edit a file as root. I prefer if required from a terminal > type "sudo vi file_name". If I have an Xsession (even from a LiveCD) then "sudo gedit file_name." Since you do Kubuntu then you might be more familiar with "kdesudo kate file_name"?

    Will do. I think I would prefer GNU Nano
    But I have never dwelled too deep into the "politics" of this.

    Yes, all personal preferences. LOL
