How do I learn what version of KDE I have? Seems logical that the numbers are stored somewhere in a file. Would the 10.04-3 numbers be somewhere in a file? Is it possible to downgrade to another earlier version of KDE? If so, Where could I find instructions for how to do it? bruce </blockquote> <div> It's not recommended to downgrade KDE. If you doesn't like KDE4 look&feel, you may try some of the KDE themes, Gnome, or even Unity. I recommend you to do exactly the opposite: instead of downgrading, upgrade it. Open up Software Properties and enable "Security" and "Update" Repositories. Doing so, you'll get both security and bug fixes past 10.04-3. If you're brave of heart :D, you can enable also Backports Repository, and get several new packages not included with Kubuntu Lucid, but made available to Natty and/or Oneiric, the following versions. But if you really have the guts :D :D, install Kubuntu PPA: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://launchpad.net/%7Ekubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports">https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports</a> These will give you the new versions of KDE. I use them on most of my Kubuntu machines. Answering one of your questions: which version ships with Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx? Lucid ships with KDE 4.2. You can check it with "apt-cache policy kdebase-runtime". You can also open any KDE app (e.g. konsole), and go Help >> About KDE. </div> </div> </blockquote> Thanks to all of you. I got some good answers and may get things going again. bruce </body> </html>
