Hi Folks,
I am new here, but not new to linux. Been running Ubuntu for a fair few years now but decided to switch over to Kubuntu a few days ago. Mainly because most of the programs I use are KDE based ones, and I wanted a change.
I am having a few problems though. I had lots of problems installing as I did have a dual boot system. Long install story short I ended up wiping the lot and getting rid of windoze for good and sticking with Kubuntu.
Everything seems to run and load pretty slowly. Not painfully slow, but almost.
Lots of programs are either crashing or not working properly. Settings in things like Kontact don't seem to be doing what they are supposed to etc.
Kontact will often freeze up and die for no apparent reason.
Kexi runs really really slow and then does the same.
K3b has been running ok, but it seems to hang when looking up cd info on cddb, and won't even let me add my info in.
Konqueror is ok when I am browsing files, but when I get on the net it starts to misbehave.
That's about as far as I have got as I don't want to set it all up too much just yet until I get these things fixed up.
Ideally I would give you all the info on what Kubuntu and KDE version I am using, but I had such a hard time getting it installed I can't remember what version I got working in the end... (It was late, and I was tired and grumpy) So if anyone can point me in the right direction to find that info it would be good. I am possibly running an 8 version which could be a beta and the reason, but like I said I was tired and grumpy and was probably not paying a huge amount of attention...
Hopefully it is something really obvious or a user fault somewhere because I really like Kubuntu and would much prefer to use KDE instead of Gnome.
Thanks folks.
