I have a odd question. I have upgraded to KUbuntu 18.10 from 18.04 some time ago. But there seems to have a odd bug. One can through the trashcan in the trashcan. Is this something one should be able to do. When I do this the trashcan vanish from the screen. But if one has "Dolphin" open one can still see the trashcan. And one can drag the trashcan from there to the screen. Is this a bug or is something that should be there? I also have another question. This has with program to do. I don't know if there is any program like a program I like. Is there a program or anything that is like "WinCatalog" program on Windows for KUbuntu? And if there is what is it called? I read about program call GWhere. But I look on "Discovery" and didn't find it there.

For me it was that apt hadn't fully upgraded all my packages. I had to manually install the packages which `apt upgrade' was telling me were in conflict, and then I had to run an `apt dist-upgrade' in order to update all the packages which were being held back. Since then it's worked fine. Thought I'd share my experience in case it helps.

I find QA'ing to be very satisfying and hopefully when I'm finally back to school getting my degree in software development, I'll be able to triage bugs and even more, like actually writing code for general use, something I've wanted to do for years, especially for music oriented projects. I don't have any suggestions right now but if I come up with any, I'll let you know. The plan I've got is to install a new daily build once per week and test that out since, for me personally, it takes almost a week to get through all of the mandatory tests dues to personal obligations but I'm at least doing something you know? lol I'm a stickler for quality over quantity. I'd rather spend a long time making sure something's absolutely perfect or as close to it as possible than just hammering out a million things and only ten percent be correct. that's foolish. But you're welcome. I enjoy this and look forward to making this release as awesome as possible.

I look forward to becoming a part of the community. Ubuntu forums: yeah, I've noticed that over the years.

Thank you! That was it. Is that something new? I'm just an occasional user of both programs, so I never needed to touch the "settings" menu. Actually, I checked it summarily but I couldn't find those options (OTOH I found the single window mode in gimp), so, thank you again. Bye -- Luca
