Re: Switch user hangs in kubuntu

So now you've done the installation. Have you activated all the repositories?

K > Applications > System > Software Management (KPackageKit) > Settings > Edit Software Sources

On the Kubuntu Software tab ensure that all items are marked (you don't need to mark the last item unless you want to download package source files for compiling).

On the Other Software tab ensure that the http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner item is marked.

If you haven't done so (unlikely, with a fresh LiveCD install), add the following repositories:

kubuntu-ppa
medibuntu

Click on Add...
In URI: type: http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu
In Distribution: type: lucid
In Components: type: main
Click OK.
Click Add...
In URI: field type: http://packages.medibuntu.org/
In Distribution: type: lucid
In Components: type: main
Click OK.
Click Close.
Click Software Updates. Wait for the package cache to finish refreshing.
Close KPackageKit.

Open a console. K > Applications > System > Terminal (Konsole)
Type:

sudo apt-get install synaptic

(Synaptic is a much preferred GUI package manager. Use it instead of KPackageKit from now on.)

When that has finished pulling in the package and installing, then type:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You will be presented with a large listing of packages both to install and to be upgraded. You want to accept the actions. Depending on your network connection speed, this could take some time.

When the downloading and installing is complete, perform a normal logout and shutdown of your PC (yes, you want to have it actually shut off). Wait about a minute, and then restart your PC and login again.

All of the above will ensure that your Kubuntu Lucid is fully updated, to include pulling in and upgrading KDE to version 4.4.3.

It is likely then, that your issue will be resolved. If it isn't, then something else is amiss, and we can procede to do some additional troubleshooting.

I think you accidentally put the launchpad repo twice in your instructions. Shouldn't the second additional repo entry for medibuntu be:

In URI: type: http://packages.medibuntu.org/
In Distribution: type: lucid
In Components: type: free non-free

Think that's right. Still a learning "newbie", and I sure appreciate all your great help in this terrific forum.
