    Problems after Reinsall kubuntu 13.10 + current updates

    Using kubuntu 13.10 plus current updates, AMD 64 bit Quad Processor & kubuntu-desktop, 8gig memory

    After complete re-install of kubuntu 13.10, & have all the latest updates, here's a few problems I encountered that did not occur in my previous install.
    Problem 1
    Code:
    bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ sudo auto-apt updatedb
    dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture'; please use '--print-architecture' instead
    put: 0 files,  0 entries done (0 sec)
    bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ sudo auto-apt updatedb --print-architecture
    dpkg: warning: obsolete option '--print-installation-architecture'; please use '--print-architecture' instead
    /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgcdb: invalid option -- '-'
    usage: /usr/lib/auto-apt/auto-apt-pkgcdb [option] [command ...]
    command:
            put
            get filename
            list
            del package
    option:
            -v      verbose
            -q      quiet
            -p      profile
            -d      debug
            -f dbfile
            -P paths.list
    bumpy@bumpyputer:~$
    PROBLEM 2
    Ownership of Folder &/or documents. Many documents open OK - A few will not open
    Changed ownership of some folders (were root) to my ownership.Some docs still won't open.
    QUESTION: How can I change all folder settings at once??
    & what does Special settings do.

    PROBLEM 5
    After shutdown & reboot, or restart, there appears anywhere from 2 – 25 small windows of my screensaver filling one of 2 desktop monitors. All are active!
    My video driiver Am using kocensaver. On normal timed activation, my dual screens are different.
    When I run it in test mode, both monitors act as one big screen, which is what I want.
    How can I correct thsi? Nvidia version: Additional Drivers - nvidia-_319

    PROBLEM 6
    Previously I was able to create desktop shortcuts of documents by dragging. I can still create them, but they are inactive. Is this anything to do with symlinking?
    I found this symlink command, & works perfectly opening from the folder, but won't open from my actual Desktop!! How come?
    bumpy@bumpyputer:~/Documents/Accounting$ sudo ln -s ~/Documents/Accounting/Accounting_Records_MASTER.ods ~/Desktop/Banking3

    PROBLEM 7 Wicd
    Code:
    bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ wicd-gtk --no-tray
    Has notifications support True
    Loading...
    Connecting to daemon...
    Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...
    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "/usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py", line 1708, in main

    You kept (didn't format) your existing /home partition?

      Yes I did.
      This may be the cause?
      Have just downloaded latest System updates. On reboot,this was displayed:
      Gave up waiting for root device - missing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls .dev
      ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ f42 ecd94-902c-4b8e-b594-554d70blecf3 does not exist.
      =dev/sdc1 TYPE="ext4"
      Partition table entries are not in disk order
      (initramfs)
      I typed exit
      Got the login prompt, logged in & kubuntu loaded OK.
