I have seen a number of similar things with kubuntu on another site. Thing is they sort ubuntu with gnome rather better than kubuntu. KDE
This is probably true. Can you prove it though?
is nice and fancy but with grief. opensuse support KDE rather better
Err, no. KDE itself is not a grief. Did you mean KDE on ubuntu (ie. KDE with Kubuntu)?
than they do gnome - i tried suse gnome with loads of problems.
Try ubuntu... my bet is it'll be fine! Also 7.04 wasn't too good for
The only way I would try ubuntu is if I then installed KDE and all the KDE bits, and forcefully removed Gnome.
kubuntu i seem to remember later version was better.
Don't have time right now to do upgrade and deal with any potential related problems. A full update is certainly going to be desirable.
I'm still not convinced this is a KDE related issue. I don't have a gnome based distro on there to run tests. I think next time I see the update icon I will try updating with apt-get and see if that will trigger the problem.
Is there any way of forcing apt to see an update and to carry out the update, even though there has not been an oficial update? Do I create a repository on some box at work and add that to my sources list and update that way? (this is just to provide me ability to test this on demand, without having to wait a few days between updates)
