Comment 91 for bug 154771

For everyone who just installed Kubuntu 7.10. The bug you are referring to is located in the updater (adept) and it will surface when you try to update the first time, no matter whether the fix has been released.
Directly after installing and before updating with adept or anything else, you should open Konsole (in Kmenu>System>Konsole). First issue `apt-get update` and after that `apt-get upgrade`. When upgrading is completed, the update notification icon in the system tray will disappear and your system is completely up-to-date. You may wish to reboot, as the update contains new versions of some restricted drivers for wireless and the kind. The reason that this bug does not appear in LinuxMint, is because it has implemented the bug fix in the install-cd, whereas Kubuntu needs to be updated for the fix to be applied.
