If Kubuntu ran on his machine this thread probably would not have occurred.
The part I think you may have missed above was the line
"For some reason there is a huge issue with Kubuntu and his hardware that I
have given up trying to fix, so I have installed Debian"
We ended up settling on Mandriva, my son is able to keep it up to date and
install software through easy gui tools. It installed easily, everything worked
and with the PLF repo's we have everything we could want software wise. I have
found urmpi to be a capable alternative to apt. I'm so impressed actually, I am
considering making the move on my workstation.
Cheers
