I'm very new to Linux. I rather like Kubuntu 18.04, but today I managed to break it. Using Discover, I deleted laptop battery controls and hastily agreed to remove a long list of dependencies.

Someone did it similar a couple months ago, but I think their solution to use SSH won't work because I hadn't set one up.

What other methods can I employ to reverse or repair what I've done? Here's what I've got going for me that I think might help.

  1. I previously paired my phone with KDE connect, but can't find the computer when it's booted though.
  2. I had installed Timeshift and have several backups on the harddrive.
  3. I can remove my afflicted desktop harddrive and connect it to a raspberry pi running Raspian.

I would prefer to avoid a fresh install because I don't want to shy away from a learning opportunity. Thanks in advance for any help!

    It's not clear what access you have. Console? Nothing at all? It's possible that you have already learned the most important lesson: No handrails, read the output before proceeding. – user535733 Jan 16 '19 at 04:05
  • Friendly tip: avoid Discover for installing/removing software and stick to the command line: sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade. – DK Bose Jan 16 '19 at 05:41
  • I couldn't gain access to terminal yesterday, but this morning I switched keyboards after reading about someone having an issue with their laptop. I am not using a laptop, but got me thinking, I've got all these keyboards around, let's try another one. Sure enough, I got into virtual console and was able to reinstall the theme and plasma desktop. – dkelley Jan 16 '19 at 14:09

The search on packages.ubuntu.com gives me the package name - sddm-theme-breeze which contains /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/Main.qml file.

You need to reinstall it with:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall sddm-theme-breeze
