Missing Control Center
Sorry if this is a daft question but I've looked at the forums and I can't find an answer.
I've just installed Ubuntu and then installed KDE. All the documentation tells me that the Control Center should be on the K menu. But it isn't. Can I add it? And why is it not there?
I know I can run it from a command prompt but I'd like to know why it is not where it is supposed to be.
Thanks for any help offered

I wouldn't be able to tell you how to add this off hand (I suppose bookmark it and then add it), but open konqueror and type "settings:/"
Ta for that. I can see where I can manually add the control center exe. Unfortunatly after only 10 hours with Linux I have noooooo idea where to find it in the filing system.
Back to the internet I guess ;-)
How did you install KDE in Ubuntu? If you installed it through the kubuntu-desktop package, you won't be able to see KControl in the K Menu, because System Settings is the default control center for Kubuntu (and for KDE 4 too).

Hi
I ran this command to set up KDE
sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
Ok that's exactly what I was referring to. Kubuntu uses System Settings by default instead of KControl, but KControl is still installed.
