Checked on my machine after five days of vacation. It had booted up to a KDE neon text login screen. Weird that it didn't boot to xfce4 as usual...

Weirder still because the os installed was Ubuntu not KDE...

I've never used KDE in my life!

#KDE
#Ubuntu #xfce #kde

Grab your #popcorn while I try to fix this... :-)

1/n?

I had decided to install the latest version of kdeconnect because Ubuntu ships a very old version. I was able to get the latest version installed and running nicely, but in the process I had added the KDE neon repo to apt. I then forgot about it for a week or so.

I then ran update/upgrade, and somehow thought it wouldn't grab random KDE packages and drop them over top of my Ubuntu versions.

I'm not yet sure what all has been mucked to. So far the boot selector screen now shows KDE only.

@poleguy I haven't played with it, but supposedly apt does rollbacks now.

@buckfiftyseven I did not have a new-enough version of APT to have that installed. It seems rather fresh.
