Comment 50 for bug 468589

Thank you for your advice.

Unfortunately because Kubuntu is a little buggy it is always necessary to get root access to fix the bugs. Such as in this case. Not being able to shut down is fairly serious. I am just about competent enough to edit a file. Not something i would choose to do. Any idea why sudo edit would not work but sudo kate does? Thanks for the advice on man and info pages. It is really quite hard to find help for most parts of Kubuntu. Perhaps this is a discussion for another time. I put this information about sudo kate up for anyone in my position with my skill set. There must be a fair number in a similar position since Wubi is for newbies like me and this appears to be related to Wubi installs and upgrades.

Thanks you all for your help
Alex
