Hello David,
I just reinstalled and am at the point where you said to double click on the
installer. I did, and nothing happens. But I did extract from ark and put
the installer on the desktop and make sure it is executable.
The most unusual thing happened when I installed. When I opened the computer,
all my settings remained, even the work that had been done with Wine and e-
Sword. My email program was in tact with all saved emails where they were.
This has never happened before. I have always had to install everything over
and configure everything. I have experienced a miracle from GOD before, but I
am not sure whether this is from HIM, or has kubuntu advanced to this state.
Or is the fact that all of my partitions are separate from the boot partition
the reason everything is the way it was? And even that has improved. When I
partitioned originally, there was a tiny portion of drive that was not
accounted for. I did nothing special for it, so the computer created a
partition of something under a KiB and showed it on the drive widget as a
fully filled KiB partition. It no longer shows on the widget. I am shocked
and pleased in equal proportion.
Well, I still cannot click on the e-Sword icon and have it open. Do you think
you might be able to help me figure it out? I am so anxious to have it working
again. I feel like a kid at Christmas time.
Steven
