I no longer have his reply, however, thanks to Nils Kassube for his
recommendations.
Neither recommendation made any difference.
Looks like, so far, I may have to do the radical thing and
do a complete wipe and install.
This one of those situations that make linux look like Window$.
Shame that no one can get it right.  Upgrades are definitely discouraged
in kubuntu.
The watchword is wipe out all your work and programs and start all over
again.
I know that saving the $HOME$ directory should preserve a lot, but it
really
is never the same.
Thank you!
