Okay, folks, so I just kept updating and updating and it finally worked
itself out. Be sure to remove all plasmoids from the desktop. On another
machine I updated that was causing the problems. I figured it out as it kept
crashing as soon as that plasmoid tried to install. Make sure you are
getting the kernel updates. Also, KPackageKit Will hold back certain
updates for some reason. I am not sure why or the logic behind it and could
never find a reason but if you use CLI apt-get or Synaptic GUI instead, you
will have all the updates installed. Frequently do CLI "apt-get
autoremove", "apt-get autoclean" and "apt-get clean" so that you will get
fresh update files. Sometimes I find that if a file exists in the apt cache
it will get skipped when updating.

Also, be sure to have the latest video driver. If you are using nVidia, be
sure to do your research on updating. DO NOT CHOOSE THE FIRST ONE YOU FIND.
Read through several solutions first. I tend to get a little antsy and
think if the first one I see sounds good I'll try that. Just keep reading
down the search engine page. It will become blatantly clear which one to
choose by the time you get to the bottom.

Best,
Bruce
