I am currently running kubuntu 5.10 BreezyBadger Release i386.

Checking https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuDapperKnownProblems

Look at about mid-page, Upgrading Problems.  It seems the upgrade wipes the 
desktop.  The work-around is:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.

But if you look at the bug reports it seems that others had problems with the 
work-around.  And those others knew enough to respond to the requests for more 
information.

If I lost the desktop I would be without a computer, so I could not even get to 
ask a question.

What is a newbie to do? A stable, supported system is what I want, but getting 
it seems hazardous.
