Re: BAD kubuntu

Besides the DE itself you simply cannot compare KUbuntu and Ubuntu -- they are identical. GNOME may be more 'stable' but when you think about it, products like RHEl are stable too. That doesn't necessarily make it better. The developer zeal of KDE and the future sustainability of its tech is much h

Re: BAD kubuntu

And the developer zeal of KDE and the future sustainability of its tech is much higher. KDE is a desktop designed with the future in mind, whereas GNOME is designed to introduce new users to GNU/Linux and provide a simple, deathly easy to use desktop. KDE has akonadi, nepomuk, strigi, plasma

Re: BAD kubuntu

Honestly I'd had nothing but issues using Kubuntu using it until around 7.04. When I upgraded to 7.10, i went to ubuntu and never looked back. KDE 4 was a kludge back then, not sure how it is now, but I've heard not much has changed. Despite that, I can't imagine it not booting after an update -

Re: BAD kubuntu

To be honest, it sounds like you have a more basic problem (disk space, disk failing, bad memory, hardware conflicts, 3rd party software conflicts, etc). Switching distros may or may not help. Even if it does, it could re-occur later. Tons of other folks had the kernel update as well and I've no

BAD kubuntu

I've been running Kubuntu on my desktop for a while now. Since the upgrade to 9.04 it has worked really well. Today the update program said the kernel had to be updated for security reasons, so I updated. Now the @#$% computer won't finish booting. This has happened before -- frequently. Un
