    [ubuntu] Re: Need help with converting .MKV

    And why convert (unless you're looking to export to another device)?

    VLC plays MKV files without issues.

    Merely curious.

    AVI has uses for older flavors of Windows (where MKV would not), such...

    [ubuntu] Re: install Ubuntu on 2nd HDD

    I have the same issue (installing 'buntu on a second HDD) - I have found that a custom install is the preferred method (putting GRUB on the second drive) as opposed to chancing mucking with Windows'...
  3. Poll: Re: Share with the community your Maverick Meerkat install/upgrade experience

    In my case (as is typical), I clean-installed.

    There is a difference this time around, though - this install is all-SATA (Samsung SH-223B optical drive source, Maxtor 6LS200 hard drive...

    Sticky: Re: Desktop Hardware Incompatibility List.

    The P4C800E Deluxe runs Lucid (and even Maverick) just fine; what chipset does that motherboard use? It may well use a third-party SATA chipset.

    [wubi] Re: wubi install

    As opposed to running the installer the *hard way*, there is an easier (in fact, far easier) method.

    1. Download the ISO (either CD or DVD) of the 'buntu of your choice.

    2. Instead of burning...
  8. [kubuntu] Lucid + KDE 4.5.0 GM SC + AMD HD5xxx Linux Catalyst = Bliss

  9. [ubuntu] Re: External Monitor - Acer X223w Display (No-sleep!)

  11. [ubuntu] Re: External Monitor - Acer X223w Display (No-sleep!)

    It is definitely a display-driver issue; not one with the display itself.

    I have the bigger brother of your display (Acer H233H.bmid; the twenty-three-inch model with HDMI support) and my Mom has...
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Compiz Water Effect Makes Screen Black In Lucid?

    However, the proprietary AMD drivers *do* support the HD series (from HD2xxx up) including the Mobility models; they support models in that range that the base FOSS drivers don't (such as the HD5xxx...

    [kubuntu] KDE 4.5 RC1 and Lucid

    A heads-up (and correction) as far as the announcement on KDE 4.5 and the Kubuntu PPA - the packages are from the RC1 (not beta 2) SC.

    That usually does the trick (especially since the block comes from stuff like libqt4-assistant that hates being replaced with libqt5-assistant, which the 4.5 betas use).

    The issue is largely that gtk and qt4 are almost mutually-exclusive, especially since they use different window decoration by default. In that situation, it may make more sense to use a more neutral...

    [kubuntu] Re: ubuntu not loading after using Kde

    The problem is *not* that GNOME is gone; it's that the desktop manager (either GDM or KDM) isn't playing nice with other desktop environments. Fortunately, there are add-ons to GDM and KDM (the two...

    There are definite issues with all cards that can *force* the issue (proprietary vs. FOSS). With the X1K series, it has now passed into *legacy* status (even in Windows), so no proprietary driver is...

    The Amarok change is not 4.3-triggered. That change has to do with restrictions on certain codec usages in some countries (I ran into this with Amarok prior to 4.3). So Amarok doesn't deserve to...
