2. Conky that ran flawlessly in 14.10 randomly disappears sometimes when applications are launched or notifications appear. The lua clock will also randomly run about 30 seconds fast compared to the system tray clock indicator. Have tried messing with .conkyrc but can't find out what is wrong - possibly a compositing problem?

try changing your opengl render type in system settings -> display -> compositor (you may need to re log in for it to change) . i had a similar issue w/ one of my computers when using opengl3.1 mode. switching to opengl 2 fixed the issue for me -
Yes, there are quite a few annoyances, I agree. Also, a lot of missing items not ported over to Plasma5 yet. Had to stop Conky for now because of that disappearing/reappearing act. Miss YAWP and LUNA.Leave a comment:

For a good simple Backup program I use LuckyBackup. It is a gui app and includes incremental backups that are a must in my opinion. Also you can dive into the settings for more complex options if required.
Not sure why your login is taking so fast; mine is really quick. A bit more info on your setup would be useful... ie are you on a network... With the second hard-drive I usually setup my mounts during install. You will need to post you etc/fstab for us to trouble shoot that. Thinking about it is this a fresh install or and upgrade? I only ask as I'm not sure how well the upgrade handles the change to systemd. This might be part of the issue. But I'm fairly new to Kubuntu, although not Linux, and there are probably others that can provide an insight into this.Leave a comment:

Some 15.04 annoyances...
Loving Plasma 5, but got a few annoyances I would dearly like to sort out:
1. Kate keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C etc) not working. I get a message that 'the sequence is ambiguous" and am asked to resolve this in the settings/keyboard shortcuts panel. Even thought the shortcuts are clearly set to 'default' and the only ones, this continues. These shortcuts work in other apps like LibreOffice with no problems.
2. Conky that ran flawlessly in 14.10 randomly disappears sometimes when applications are launched or notifications appear. The lua clock will also randomly run about 30 seconds fast compared to the system tray clock indicator. Have tried messing with .conkyrc but can't find out what is wrong - possibly a compositing problem?
3. Anyone know a good and simple backup program that runs like kup on 15.04? kup crashes the system when I try to use it.
4. Booting and re-login take a long time > 60 seconds sometimes.
5. Changing application icons from 'edit applications' on the launcher does not allow user to browse to specific locations. Browse button is there, but nothing happens when you click it. Have lightscribe application and would like to use my lightscribe icon, but I can't access it.
6. Had to install samba manually because clicking on install samba when selecting sharing from folder results in error message regarding kpackagekit not being installed.
7. Adding an entry to fstab to automount a second HDD can sometimes result in 'black screen of death' which could only be resolved by 'rm -rf .cache' and rebooting.
Otherwise all good! Congratulations to the team. Look and feel of the desktop is amazing.
