Adding kubuntu-ppa/backports repository and now problems

[urdrwho5]

I was having an unusual situation in muon package manager and that was when I would search for updates it would only look at like 8 places. I am accustomed to it checking a lot of files as they roll down the screen.

So I thought that I would add a repository and this is what I added sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports

Didn't like the looks and removed the repository.

Now when I reboot I get the Big K with the gear splash logo and when the desktop starts to load I get a crash notice. I think it has to do with KDE connect?

So is there any why to rebuild reinstall what I need to get back to normal?

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

How did you remove the ppa entry? Manually or via ppa-purge?

Now days apt has a more streamlined output so there is definitely less info displayed on your screen when updating via a package manager or the cli.

There was nothing wrong with your system.

I used ppa-purge. I removed KDE connect and now there is no crash warning when I reboot.

Thanks.

I did that and there was a removal of files but not much has changed. I've also noticed that I can't log out correctly. When I try the screen goes dark, I'll then see the K with a gear logo and then it automatically logs me back in and I get a KDE crash notice. Oh well other than that the system seems stable and since there is only one user logging in and out isn't a big deal. The one user is anyone that is in the kitchen and wants to use the computer. There are no bank account, stock accounts, etc. on this computer.

My son is "again" laughing at me because I broke something in Linux. Several years ago he was gung-ho on linux distros and then gaming took priority and MS became his thing. Plus he will often point out "you never break your MS stuff --- do you?".

One thing that Linux is missing is the repair ability of MS that comes on a disk. I have read that you can re-install Linux and not loose your home but I have never tried it.

Still not sure why muon package manager only shows 8 hits when I hit the check for updates. Oh wait --- this was answered "streamlined output so there is definitely less info displayed on your screen when updating via a package manager". So everything is ok.

Use Timeshift

TimeShift is a system restore utility which takes incremental snapshots of the system using rsync and hard-links. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes that were made to the system after the snapshot was taken. Snapshots can be taken manually or at regular intervals using scheduled jobs.
