Mint to Kubuntu switch ALSO upgrded to Zbook

[frozensmoke]

For years ran Mint I'm new to Kubuntu and Plasma ALSO running on a Z Book The first thing I think i need to know is how to reset the plasma desktop!! I went to using it suddenly i hit a key and the location, size and configuration changed. Now I was on "X" at the time. When that these changes happened. If you think it is simply an "X" issue I understand but what I'm curious about right now is getting back to where I started!

There is a sledgehammer method, but if you can be more specific on what changed, we might have a simpler way to get things back
Location of what?
Size of what?
Configuration of what?

Do you remember what key(s) you think you might have hit?

If it was just a keystroke, then it may be only one thing that needs to be changed.

If you think it is simply an "X" issue

No, Kubuntu 24.04 defaults to xorg anyway.


But the first place to go to is System Settings. there is an option to show settings that have changed. You can look at these, then use the "Defaults" button to reset each back to a stock KDE setting.

But I am sure there may be things that aren't going to show in System Settings, so this might not do the trick. But most likley it will.

I really don't know what I hit!!! I just took off like i was still on mint!! All kinds of things changed all of a sudden. Also i thought I'd better ask about my secret weapon. I use a blue tooth key board that I really like so I'm curious if that might introduce some instability!! I think the Xeon is fast, but slow as I am i got ahead of it and just had to wait on it at one point!! I really appreciate the tip on KDE settings I'll let you know what happens.. I'm astounded that Arizona and NSW can be in the same conversation!!

My buddy who is pretty sharp and got me going on Mint years ago tried 2 or 3 times install mint but it just wouldn't take on the Zbook!! bye

Mint is mostly Ubuntu LTS as an OS, so if your KB worked there, it should be the same in Ubuntu/Kubuntu

Once you have hit your third post, you should be able to post screenshots of what you see, which should give us a better clue. Highlight the differences.

My brother lives in Mesa, though he teaches at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I lived in Tucson for a few months back in 198-something-something-old-something.
