This appears to have resolved the issues I was having with Kopete 0.70.4 under KDE 4.2.4 and Jaunty Jackalope :D

Actually, I think he's referring to the KDM theme manager for the log in themes. That can be found in System Settings/Advanced/Login Manager. Only problem is it doesn't quite work. You can look at...

I have used this and one other page to speed up boot time in Kubuntu since Edgy. Though still applicable even today with Jaunty to a certain extent, it would be nice to see this updated to the newer...

I'm running an old Compaq Presario R4125US laptop. It has a lowly old AMD64 Athlon 2500+ running at 2.2Ghz. When running Hardy my boot times were over 45 seconds. Now with Jaunty, my bootchart...

Sun has released a 64 bit Java update (JRE 6 Update 12) as of yesterday (February 3, 2009). How soon we'll see packages in the various supported Ubuntu (and variants) distros there's no telling. ...

I voted yes. However, I'm not voting for a Universal Package Manager between distro's. What I'm implying is that all variants of Ubuntu (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and others) use the same package...

First of all, I'd like to thank the starter of this thread. The tutorial worked great except with version 1.5.6 I couldn't get the usb working properly to recognize my printer even though I loaded...

I just want to thank all for the kudos. At the time I wrote this, I was unable to run ATI's proprietary drivers on my laptop and the desktop is unable to run any XGL. I've since used another forum...

I haven't seen any info on the Edgy boot process either. Bits and pieces of this "How To" do work but it's very little. Thus my request that this be updated.

Not certain what is causing the connect issue. Possibly the Java version is causing issues? Not so sure on that either. I do know I have Limewire Pro working flawlessly on Edgy on both my laptop...

To those that posted. Sorry I didn't include the "make install" for the ndiswrapper compile step. To the gentleman that said the repo's 1.8 worked, well it didn't work for me or others. Of course...

DCM36,

Your most welcome. Took me a bit to understand why Limewire Pro would work on my Dapper laptop and it wouldn't on my Edgy desktop. Same happened with tovid which I'm a big fan of for...

Works great for Dapper. However, they've changed some things in Edgy Eft. Though quick to boot up it still holds the tty4, tty5, and tty6 open and I've yet to figure out where to turn them off in...

I tried this on my old Athlon desktop system with an ATI Radeon 7000VE. Just got done with a clean install of Dapper thanks to the person uploading a bad xserver-xorg-core but that is another story....

I tried this once and couldn't get it working. Went back later on when I'd gotten some sleep and attempted it again. Works fine on Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper LTS. Yes, even I got issues with the damn...
