I tried kubuntu 12.04 by running it from a usb stick. I liked it so much that I did a full install from the same .iso file. Now my wireless internet disconnects every time the computer suspends, install packages are missing - firefox and flash for instance, the wallet keeps appearing (I found out how to disable that from the help file) etc. Don't understand why a full install should behave so differently from when running from the usb? When I go to the documentation it sends me to ubuntu 12.04 which talks about dash and all the other unity workspace controls that I hated. Is there any kubuntu kde gui documentation anywhere? Would appreciate any comments.

Not sure what you mean by "Now my wireless internet disconnects every time the computer suspends" ... this is surely what should happen when you suspend the computer. Maybe you mean on resume from suspend you can't connect your wireless internet??
Are you sure you installed it properly? It sounds like you are still running a "live" version which resets every time you start it up.
Agree with you regarding Ubuntu 12.04 documentation and Unity (blech!).

"install packages are missing - firefox and flash for instance",
Neither Firefox or flash are installed by default. firefox has an issue last i knew because it conflicted with the "firefox-installer". i see you have read this already so i won't repeat it . for flash just install the package flashplugin-installer it will go fetch flash and install it for you (or you can install it manually if you so desire)
" the wallet keeps appearing (I found out how to disable that from the help file)"
the wallet shows up because you saved a password in it (possibly your wifi one) and you also set a password for your wallet. so its asking you to open your wallet so the programs that what to store passwords (or retrive them ) can do so . it will also ask the first time something tries to use it. disabling it is not the correct way to deal with it. (at least if you want any kind of password storage) . this might explain why your wifi is not up when you resume suspend.Mark Your Solved Issues [SOLVED]

Good catch! It is not what I say it is what I mean
Yes it does not resume and I have to re-enter my security key. I do get a messge when I go to 'edit' to enter the key which says 'error kde control module - there is no agent available for this request' I don't know if that is relevant. I do know that with both ubuntu 11.10 and kubuntu from the usb they both resumed and I did nothing I am aware of except check the box for resume automatically Which I have done now as well.
I don't know what else I could have done in the install I just let it do its thing automatically?
Thanks for the documentaion link. Great help.Comment

This was a great help. I went into Wallet Manager and set up a new wallet. It asked me for a password and I tried my overall login - no good. So I tried my email password which is the only other one I had used and it accepted that! So I went into the wifi 'manage connections' and checked the security code and lo and behold it was using my email password for the wifi security code- which surprise, surprise would not work. I re-entered the correct wifi security code. Went back to Wallet Manager and changed the wallet password to blank - this computer does not leave my house - and now the wifi reconnects automatically after suspend or restart!! Thank you so much. I had no idea that was what was happening.Originally posted by sithlord48 View PostLast edited by Snowhog; Apr 28, 2013, 11:41 PM.Comment
