Re: Menu bar now missing

If alt-f2 works to bring up krunner, try issuing the command 'plasmashell' there. This should restart plasma if it crashed.

You can find isos at cdimage.ubuntu.com

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.
