KDE 4.3.2  synaptic installed after installing Ubuntu 9.10


I have no idea what you mean by

Kicker, classic, or Lancelot


or how I would find out. However on a click by click basis:
K -> leave -> shutdown
    - menu disappears and nothing happens (differ)
press Power button computer box (why did try this? - unknown)
    - conformation dialog (sometimes) appears (differ)
      otherwise nothing happens (differ)
   
click on shutdown if it appeared
    - dialog disappears and KDE dies but system does not shutdown

switch off power on back of computer
    - computer shuts off - expected!

There are other problems;
    A mount point disappeared - easily to fix but what happened?
    my account was removed from the sudoers file
       (dkr is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.)
       This is a real problem as I have never looked at this feature
       and do not know where is hides or what it looks like. But I need
       it right now!
Somewhen near the time this happened I did:

    sudo usermod -G audio dkr

but I do not know if this was the cause. "dkr" is now in the audio group.

I cannot find the "device name" of a usb flashmemory this is what is 
added to dmesg
when I insert the device:

my Kwallet exports are on there - I could use all of those passwords but...

my audio problems are half fixed - i.e. I (used to until the sudoers 
thing) sudo alsa force-reload
after which, for a time,it works. then I would do it again and for a 
time ...

booting - GRUB is VERY slow and the installed version is 1.97~beta4 
which seems odd to me.
further a dual boot version of Mandriva 2010-64 has gone missing from 
the list. This is just a toy &
I do not care.

are all of these problems related? I do not know, but this thing is not 
really usable
as it sits. Perhaps I will have to try over with 8.10 - I hope not!

Thank you for your time and effort!
