I just installed kubuntu 11.04 and the problem I have is that kpackagekit "froze" while installing updates. It froze while installing some plasma widgets. So my question is how can I disable the updating process without breaking the system and what is the most recommended way to install updates on kubuntu (I have realized that kpackagekit is really buggy)?
Is there a way to filter site categories for Ubuntu 11.04 just like SelfControl so that I won't be able to pass them i.e, gain access to them by turning something off (for unlimited time)?
I am dual booting ubuntu 11.04 and windows 7 and I have a bootable usb flash drive. How can I configure grub so it will boot my flash drive?
I was trying to create a LiveUSB with my SanDisk Cruzer on Ubuntu with the Startup Disk Creator program, then because of some reason it could not boot. I guess it was because I checked the Format USB option when I created the disk. After some time I wanted to install Ubuntu 11.04 through the USB, so I formatted the USB and used Pendrivelinux to create the LiveUSB (I was on Windows at that time). But the problem is that now my USB won't boot.

I have deleted a partition which had an incomplete ubuntu install using Windows 7 partition manager.
Other than that I had a different partition with a working ubuntu but when I deleted the partition and restarted the computer I have found out that grub wont let me enter any operating system so I used the fixMbr command in the windows 7 disc and it seems like grub has been gone and when I boot I don't receive a choice of an os but it automaticlly loads windows 7.
So my question is how can I get ubuntu back?
Yesterday I installed KDE through gnome in Ubuntu 10.10 and after some time I decided to uninstall kde manually through the Synaptic Package Manager. I completely removed all the packages which I thought were related to KDE and not critical for Gnome, but I was wrong as it turns out not only did I delete KDE I also deleted a lot of critical packages for Gnome.
I think I deleted at least half of the critical packages and now I do not have even a terminal and a browser. Also when I rebooted I could not even log in to Ubuntu so this my question: is there a way to repair Ubuntu?
