Did an update/dist-upgrade and rebooted. Added your repos did an update again. Still get the key errors: W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 43F1DC4F2B8638D0 W: GPG error: http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net natty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 43F1DC4F2B8638D0 And this from apt-get when I install kubuntu-desktop-trinity WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! After all that ... it hung while booting. I power-cycled it and got the KDE^H^H^HTrinity login. Logged in and got a popup that said: There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /tmp/1571417411/.DCOPserver_toto2__0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running! Naturally, I clicked OK. Ended up with a frameless xterm window and no menus, etc, as if I was in a failsafe session (though there was a desktop image). Logout/login and get no popup, but still have a single xterm albeit with frame, menus, etc. Still no icons, menus, etc. Help? -- Peter Laws / N5UWY National Weather Center / Network Operations Center University of Oklahoma Information Technology plaws@... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feedback?
