Well,  title says it all really.

After I updated my Lucid install yesterday my netbook now has the Kubuntu loading screen.  Thankfully the operating system is still Ubuntu.   I guess an update will be released sharpish in an attempt to rectify this error.  I suppose I should also mention that the netbook was a lot more responsive prior to the updates too.   Oh well, not the end of the world. I shall just have to see what updates come my way
