Just upgraded from 7.0 to 7.3 and how I regret it! After nearly 3 years of
flawless operation I have royally messed up the system. Sure the "update"
went without any reported errors, but the resulting configuration problems
can probably best be explained by some nitwit who formally was a Microsoft
GUI tech decided to moved around file location without regards to reason.
The moved the samba from /etc to etc/samba, deleted by index.html to then
pointed apache to their index.html.en (never thought to actually leave the
existing.) apache points to a non-existent index.html Samba won't start at
boot time anymore, neither will sendmail. But what is most aggravating is
they rearranged the structure for how KDE stores user specific settings.
Gone is .desktop with all the icon and .menu as well. Now we have .Kdesktop
(just to name one.) KDE loads with no menu items, desktop icons with only
text and won't do anything. Not a single link works. I suspect there is a
config file I can edit to begin to untangle this mess. Any suggestions?
