I think this is an OS problem and not a ROS specific one. Give a look to Ubuntu's forums.

This looks more like some kind of user error. But with that level of detail I doubt anyone can help you, try including more details like your exact installation steps, and the version of Kubuntu and ROS.

Tried installing ROS (Hydro) on Kubuntu 12.04 and everything runs smooth out of the box, not that groovy would be any different, but as I said, for a proper answer, details are still missing.

Question is one month old. I am not sure it is still relevant to keep answering.

More like 2 weeks, but yeah. I still had the tab open though and it can't hurt to put this up here, also just in case somone with similar questions stumbles over this.

It's just that I got notified every time you answered. :-/ And I can't unsubscribe.
