Thanks JP
The update was automatic.
The fax driver no longer works and the entire interface has been replaced. There is no information to tell what it has been replaced with.

There are not very many icons in a default Ubuntu installation. What icons did you have that you want?
How about simply creating the icons that you want?
Are you using the GNOME desktop environment, which comes with Ubuntu, the KDE desktop environment, which comes with Kubuntu, or the XFCE environment, which comes with Xubuntu?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install or reinstall the desktop environment from a command line. Change kubuntu to ubuntu or xubuntu to get the ubuntu-desktop or the xubuntu-desktop.
Let's get a baseline, then we can get you what you really want from there. Start by telling me which of these systems you have and we can proceed from there. |
