This install has other problems. Tonight I lost the toolbar and the
menubar in Gwenview. I also lost the menubar in Dolphin. All the
options I read online to restore them don't work. I'm going to try
installing Kubuntu 20.04 on another partition and try it for a while.
I'm tired of messing with the 18.04 installation. Thanks for your help.
