Thank you Nils for your quick reply.

Unfortunately, the situation has gone from bad to disastrous. To recap, 
I renamed .config, .kde, and .local. Now after a reboot I'm left with a 
black screen and a mouse cursor. .config, .kde and .local have been 
recreated and right clicking does nothing. The only access I have now is 
via ssh.

As I said earlier Billie and O, this is not the fault of installing 
Google Earth. I had this same problem after fiddling with Bleachbit a 
month or so back but I was able to recover from that disaster.

I really do not want to reinstall 15.04 again. I previously had 14.10 
installed and I was very happy with it. I do not have the install disk 
now but I do have 14.04. Unfortunately, my desktop will not boot from 
the 14.04 DVD (the laptop will so the disk is not faulty) no doubt due 
to UEFI. No matter which boot option I try the DVD will not boot.

So, what I need is Kubuntu 14.10 (which did boot from the DVD) but the 
only version I can find includes a Plasma version (4 or 5). Plasma may 
not be the problem but I do not want to waste more time on 
uncertainties. Does anyone know where I can download version 14.10 
again? I thought of Bit Torrent but it could be a bit dicey.
