plasma crashing

[Homer]

A good suggestion, but I don't think that is the problem.  The computer has
been running well for about two years.  I've also had bad RAM cause weird
problems with other machines.  I used to run a script that would compile
kernels over and over as I read somewhere that was a good way to test RAM.
One thought I had was my SSD.  I was wondering if bit might have been
flipped???

In any case, so far, so good.  As soon as I can afford the time at work I'm
going to buy a new SSD (I want a bigger one anyway) and reinstall the OS.
I think I'm going with Debian next time.

The Ubuntu and Kubuntu mailing lists don't seem to generate much traffic
any more.  Where are the good places to pose Ubuntu/Kubuntu questions these
days?
