KDE 14.04 beta-1
Installed 06-mar-14; immediately followed by 272 ugrades using sysnaptic (Muon
Discover proved absolutely useless; used it to install Muon; used muon to
install synaptic -- this process apparently mangled 6 packages!). Applied two
batches of upgrades on 07-mar-14 without incident. 08-mar-14: experimenting,
managed to upgrade 4 packages using muon discover; synaptic found two more
packages to upgrade. On booting around midday today (09-mar-14) found KDE
desktop corrupted:
1) 12 desktops reduced to 1; all attempts to restore the other 11 desktops
achieved nothing.
2) Bottom bar appered to be in chaos
3) All windows had no frame; they could not be raised, lowered, moved or
resized.
4) All windows were placed top left, so effectively one could only run one
application at a time -- in such a way that the system was virtually unuseable.
5) Access effectively denied to dialog windows; could not authenticate to load
synaptic.
6) Firefox opened as a "letter-box" across the top of the screen; effectively,
could not be used.
7) I managed to update 2 (irrelevent) packages from command line (recovery
mode: apt-get dist-upgrade)
8) Desktop backgrounds reverted to default.
System is unusable. To make this report a have hooked up a 12.04 system on a
laptop disc.
Host system: ASUSteck desktop:
Intel i5-2320 CPU (3GHz), 6GB ram, 1TB + 2TB (+ USB 1TB 2.5" USB) discs. I do
not think it is resource constrained.
