Using kubuntu 13.10 plus current updates, AMD 64 bit Quad Processor & kubuntu-desktop, 8gig memory
After complete re-install of kubuntu 13.10, & have all the latest updates, here's a few problems I encountered that did not occur in my previous install.
Problem 1
PROBLEM 2
Ownership of Folder &/or documents. Many documents open OK - A few will not open
Changed ownership of some folders (were root) to my ownership.Some docs still won't open.
QUESTION: How can I change all folder settings at once??
& what does Special settings do.
PROBLEM 3 SYSTEM SETTINGS:
ERROR: After adding User Information: what is image: .face.icon? - that I did not delete!
PROBLEM 4
APT Key Manager: This file does not exist! How can I create it ??
PROBLEM 5
After shutdown & reboot, or restart, there appears anywhere from 2 – 25 small windows of my screensaver filling one of 2 desktop monitors. All are active!
My video driiver Am using kocensaver. On normal timed activation, my dual screens are different.
When I run it in test mode, both monitors act as one big screen, which is what I want.
How can I correct thsi? Nvidia version: Additional Drivers - nvidia-_319
PROBLEM 6
Previously I was able to create desktop shortcuts of documents by dragging. I can still create them, but they are inactive. Is this anything to do with symlinking?
I found this symlink command, & works perfectly opening from the folder, but won't open from my actual Desktop!! How come?
