I've got Kubuntu 22.04 on this dinosaur with Plasma 5.24.7. A few months ago it started acting up. First it wouldn't play the startup sound that it previously played. Then it stopped playing the logout sound. Then it started taking a log time to show the desktop after logging in. One day last month, I when I logged in, all I got was a black screen with a mouse pointer. Ctrl alt backspace got me back to the login screen, but when I tried, all I got was the black screen with the mouse pointer. Rebooting didn't fix this. Eventually I found a forum online where someone had the same problem and fixed it by multiple files and folders under .config and .local. He logged in and got the default setup. I tried this and got the default setup also. Once I reconfigured the login and logout sounds, it played them again. Now it's starting again. This week it stopped playing the logout sound. What file and folders do I need to delete to return to the default configuration? I know I said the person in another forum said he deleted a bunch of stuff and got back to the default setup, but he said he wasn't sure which of those files and folders needed to be deleted. I'd like to find out just what needs to be deleted to go back to the default config so I can delete only what needs to be deleted, recreate the setup I want, then back it up so I can replace those files when it messes up again thanks
