Kubuntu is frustrating me. The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below ...
by wh33t from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YF6E)
I do a quick search [Duck / Google] and I see that this is somewhat a common problem. From what I can tell something borked completely of it's own volition and the solution is for me to re-install the theme. Easy enough, except for some reason I don't have network access, I don't even have ifconfig installed and cannot install it without my network working properly.
This machine is my home server (trying to be at least) and this is the second time my machine has done this to me. I've got it setup and working the way I want it to twice now, leave it on for a day or so and come back to it and find that it's doing weird things (like ALT+SPACE no longer brings up the program launcher or when I click on the Konsole shortcut in the Start Menu it asks me if I trust the launcher). So I give the machine a reboot and I see the following. I can click the hide keyboard button with my mouse and gives me login screen with the error message and I am unable to login.
I would really like to know what is causing this and how I can fix it.
The machine is running a Win7 VM in Virtualbox running Blue Iris (NVR software). The machine has two NICs, one on the mobo itself, another expansion in a pci-e slot. The NIC on the mobo is passed through to the VM as a NAT device, so it appears just as another machine on my home network. The other NIC is bridged to the VM and this NIC is connected to a POE switch with my cameras and it's on it's own subnet with no direct routing to the home network, this way all cameras are isolated.
Is Virtualbox causing this issue? Maybe?
The only other thing I could think of that might be causing this is that I have twice now setup Nextcloud, once manually by unpacking it into /var/www/html/nextcloud just to mess around with it and got it set up, but not in a way that I liked, so I removed it and the AMP stack, and then later that evening the issues started. This was a few days ago, I just presumed I broke something or it was a freak occurrence so I just re-installed Kubuntu and started fresh again.
Yesterday I re-setup everything the way I wanted it with Vbox, then setup Nextcloud through a SNAP package, again, didn't like how it was setup, and removed it. Installed the AMP stack again through tasksel, was about to setup nextcloud again manually, but got too tired so I uninstalled it all again and then this morning woke up to the same issues as before.
This is really killing my faith in Kubuntu. Should I just switch to something else? Is there a way I can fix this?
Thank you so much for reading this wall of text! Any tips appreciated.
