Doing Update ?

[GregM]

I have recently done a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04 and have gotten it to work about the way I want...almost.
If I do a standard update (by that I mean install all the available updates) will I still have Kubuntu when I am done or will it revert to Ubuntu?

I'm just afraid of losing all my work

Yes, you will.

Doing Update ?

By "standard update":
sudo apt update
Sudo apt dist-upgrade

Ya can't go wrong with that combo!

sudo apt update
Sudo apt dist-upgrade

Using the newer 'apt', that would be sudo apt full-upgrade

Right! My mistake. Apt-get uses dist-upgrade, but dist-upgrade works with apt as well. Apt must be doing some parsing to do what I mean and not what I write?

PS - Decided to check the differences and found this webpage:
https://debian-handbook.info/browse/...t.apt-get.html

And this synopsis of apt commands vs apt-get
https://askubuntu.com/questions/4453...pt-and-apt-get

Currently the apt binary supports the following commands:

list: which is similar to dpkg list and can be used with flags like --installed or --upgradable.
search: works just like apt-cache search but sorted alphabetically.
show: works like apt-cache show but hide some details that people are less likely to care about (like the hashes). The full record is still available via apt-cache show of course.
update: just like the regular apt-get update with color output enabled.
install,remove: adds progress output during the dpkg run.
upgrade: the same as apt-get dist-upgrade –with-new-pkgs.
full-upgrade: a more meaningful name for dist-upgrade.
edit-sources: edit sources.list using $EDITOR.

You can enable/disable the install progress [bar] via:

# echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy "1";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar

After doing the updates I now have a bunch of launch icons on the lower right to the left of the clock.
How do I get them off there?

Oh, you should be able to:

right click on the panel on a blank space
unlock widgets
go to panel options > panel settings

then drag the clock to the end

Actually, taking a second look, it appears you may have a second systray there. After unlocking widgets, try removing the one right of the clock.

Thanks
I was able to just pick up all those icons and move them off the system tray to ...somewhere?

I was also able to move the speaker icon to the left of the clock.
It's just right now

Thanks

Delete? Usually when you highlight (hover over) an unlocked widget, there's a little red circle with an X in it. Clicking on that deletes it.

Those Icons are system icons. You don't want to delete them. Oshunluver told how to move them around. if you don't want them to show you can right mouse in an empty area between one of the icons and select "System Tray Settings". In that dialog you can set each to "hide", "show" or "Auto".
