problems upgrading to kubuntu 20.04 (jammy)

[Girard Henri]

I work with ubuntu 22.04 for some time now. As I had problem (not from 
ubuntu but from me) I reinstalled it few times without any problems. I 
installed it too  as wsl2 in w11, it's not recommended because this 
version is not ready for it ! without any problem and more I installed 
too gwsl2 (gnome wsl) and choose mate-desktop too... why ? because mate 
is light and very easy to uninstall if problems. Which rarely occurs by 
the way !

What I wanted to say I guess it's probably a kde problem as I use 
mate-desktop and have no problem.

Sorry I don't answer your problem, but what I would do in you case is 
install mate-desktop to see if it works and then if you want kde you can 
always uninstall it

Best

Henri
