Installing KUBUNTU 20.04

I opt for installing using the PPAs/DEBs the following programs (this is because the UBUNTU repositories tend to store older software):

  • anaconda (python distribution)
  • audacity
  • brave browser
  • google earth
  • google chrome
  • gwenview
  • inkscape
  • matlab
  • microsoft edge
  • obstudio
  • pdfstudioviewer
  • qgis
  • texstudio
  • tor browser
  • vscode
  • workrave
  • xournal++
  • zoom


I install from the official repositories the huion driver

digimend-kernel-drivers (en caso de que lo de arriba no funcione)


I install using "apt install"

  • dict 
  • dvipng 
  • git
  • git lfs
  • htop
  • hunspell-es
  • helix
  • imagemagick
  • kdiff3 (no se si valga la pena instalarlo)
  • kolourpaint
  • kompare
  • krename
  • kruler
  • krusader
  • kubuntu-restricted-extras
  • matlab-support
  • mc
  • meld 
  • octave
  • rar
  • subversion
  • synaptic
  • texlive-full
  • ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  • vim
  • wxmaxima


Programas necesarios preinstalados

  • LibreOffice
  • VLC


After installing I had a problem with the resolution 640x480 was the only one available. I fixed it using:

Search Nvidia packages:

$ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia

Remove all the Nvidia drivers

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'

Go to: System settings >> Driver manager >> Additional Drivers >> select first one (NVIDIA driver 390 propietary, tested) >> Apply Changes

Reboot

Install the HELVETICA FONT:

So that inkscape does not complain when opening EPS files generated in MATLAB


Finally, disable the boot screen and show only kernel and boot text:
