Kubuntu 14.10 has been working well until recently, and the guys here at the forum got me straightened out. Thanks to them.
Nevertheless, although Kubuntu 15.04 has been advertised as stable, I still am unable to enjoy its use.
Each day I update, upgrade and confirm that no packages are broken. Shortly after those tasks are performed the system freezes.
This is the first time I have installed dual-boot with two versions of Kubuntu.
During the installation process, I only created one Linux swap area. I did this because both OS's use the same file system, so I assumed that they both could use the same swap area, since only one OS is being used at a time.
It occurs to me that each OS has a /home partition, its own OS partition, and a couple of drives that are used for special purposes that because of their like file systems probably can communicate regardless of what OS is being used.
I don't know this as the case, but if it is, it would seem that it might be confusing to the different versions due to the potential overlap of data. I realize that I am probably sounding pretty stupid right now, but I have a local friend who uses Kubuntu 15.04 pretty much problem free, and I can't seem to get it to work at all.
I am wondering if the fact that both versions have /home partitions and two additional drives, a 6GB/sTB drive and a 3GB/sTB drive, one for private storage and backups and the other for my movie collection with all but swap using ext4 file systems is the reason for my freeze problems in Kubuntu 15.04.
I am somewhat technically weak, and lack understanding. Perhaps one of you more knowledgeable users may understand how this configuration of partitions and drives can be negatively affected by the common file systems.
Kubuntu 14.10 seems to functioning without problems after increasing the size of my Root partition which became too full, so it seems that Kubuntu 15.04 is the only OS with freeze problems.
If this is the reason I am experiencing problems, is there a way to cure the problem, perhaps through using labels on the /home drives or perhaps capitalizing the "H" in /Home of one of them. Are mount points case sensitive? Thanks for any understanding you may provide.
By the way, Kubuntu 15.04 is a beautiful application and seems to run faster than Kubuntu 14.10. In fact the brief time prior to the system freeze the speed difference is noticeable. My system is quite fast, so I did not expect to experience much speed increase. It is a surprise I look forward to when the freezes are overcome. Thanks for any input to this problem.
