Be Wily and Enjoy the Progress of Kubuntu 15.10

I think I have all those as well, I think they are default. I don't know what the differences are between all of us, but I have the Create New entries, but am missing the ark compress/extract service menus.

OOPS ,,,,,,,,vinny is funny ,,,,,,,but vinny spoke to soon allthough I do have the all the create new entries , I do not have the ark compress/extract ones either ,,,,just "open with ark" on a compressed file and no options to compress anything

all I can say is ,sometimes I get exited and jump the gun a bit

so

sudo apt-get remove --purge vinny && sudo apt-get install vinny vinny-take-a-breath vinny-waitandthink

$ sudo apt install be-more-like-vinny

That's funny! (Not that Vinny is funny; well, maybe he is. I don't know him personally, so I can't truthfully say.) hehe

I just downloaded the 2 Sept iso and when I selected "Try Kubuntu" followed by (after a long wait) opening Dolphin and then right mouse click to add a folder, it gave no such option.

Templates ?

I Installed 15.10 beta yesterday and still trying to find my way around a bit. But so far like what I've seen. Only thing I can't figure out is in dolphin when you right click under create new there no entry for creating a new file folder.

On my second monitor I have an ever changing wallpaper, ie. every 5 minutes. I decided to put the launcher at the top right of this 2nd desktop as shown below in a section of my desktop.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]6272[/ATTACH]

When I launch it from there, the Application Dashboard is on that monitor.

nice ,,,will half to try that ,,,but I prefer the launcher to stay on the primary screen (the laptop)as I just use the secondary (VIZIO TV) for media center(kodi)video(netflix) display .

I must say that I am taking a little time to get used to it as I had some difficulty locating KSnapshop which had a different description under it. I have now changed the "Show applications as" to "Name only" as this is what I am used to seeing when using the Application Launcher.

Humm @hear "Name only" was the default ........+ if you type "ks" it (KSnapshot) is displayed with 2 others (or more if you have programs that start with "ks"

I also have that problem and the F10 is a way around that. I also find that file activity in Dolphin such as deleting files does not get updated. I have to use F5 for it to happen.

I am beginning to thing that I should do a re-installation with the latest iso. I am also having difficulties with KDEnlive which got updated to the latest version half way through some video editing which I posted on YouTube. A purge and reinstall did not fix the problems which I will have to resolve after next Sunday.

by the way every one conky is not recognizing "pre_exec" in 15.10 ?

conky: unknown variable '$pre_exec'
conky: unknown variable '$pre_exec'
conky: unknown variable '$pre_exec'

used like

Release: $alignr${pre_exec lsb_release -rs | awk '{print $1}'}
