I will try to look into that later.

No, No. I mean files send across via Dropbox or on USB memory sticks are 
read fine on separate Linux AND Windows machines.

Yes. On the kubuntu list I was told about those, given a number of those 
"sudo commands", executed them in order,
but so far nothing has helped.

It does not really matter, since I am probably switching to Mint anyway,
it is more a question of "principle".
I get these "minor" but nonetheless annoying problems all the time.
And in most cases* there just seems to be NO WAY to fix them, making 
reinstallation the only option left.
At least, if you are not a computer specialist - like me.
I "had" to do this already a thousand times ... another reason for being 
called "stupid" all the time,
since, according to the specialists, it is sooo easy fix everything in 
Linux.

* I make myself usually very unpopular by just asking for help.

I will report back, if I can make those commands work, that are given 
under the above link.
