When I start a Kubuntu session, KNetworkManager requires that I type my password to the Wallet before it has permission to connect to the internet. How can I automatically give it permission without...

I'm using Ubuntu Karmic and am ocasionally logging into a KDE session. I have Avant set up to activate at startup for the GNOME session, but it carries on the KDE session which I don't want.

I...

Well uh, disabling WiFi and re-enabling it fixed it. I'm not sure why I haven't tried this before, but then again I'm not sure why I should try it in the first place, it feels like hitting things to...

I installed kubuntu-desktop two days ago, but for some reason I can not configure my connection when signing into the KDE session. I can 'see' wireless networks and my network in particular, and I...

bump.

Two days ago I installed the latest kubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu.

After the installation the GNOME session 'forgot' my WiFi default network - oh well, reconfigured it. However, the KDE session also...

I gave this a spin.

The interface is clunky and is unusable unless the window is at or close to the full screen's resolution (I'm using 1440x900).

thanks... huh. I was certain I installed the package you mentioned before checking but I guess not. It works now.

How would I go about displaying Japanese characters in, say, Rhythmbox?

I tried downloading Japanese support packages from Synaptic, but maybe I got the wrong packages.

Just to clarify: I'm...

Thank you!

Is this possible? I understand the Firefox codename scheme but I'm a sucker for the Firefox brand name.

thanks.

Hey, I've got a consistent problem with Synaptics - it freezes for around around 20-30 seconds when clicking on 'Mark for installation', when cancelling the prompt you get to confirm installation and...

Thank you for that informative (and ridiculously fast) answer. I'll look into themes.

Hey, is it possible to edit Grub2 to hide the rectangular frame around the selectable OSes? Also, is it possible to hide the Grub 'title' ("Grub GNU 2 (1.97~beta4)" et cetera)?

Help is...

Hey, thanks for all the great info. Just one question (and I hope it hasn't been asked before - I tried searching...):

How do you hide the rectangular frame around the Grub entries?

Thanks guys. xarchiver (even though I've only used it for about 5 minutes) seems perfect for me.

To everyone who suggested I get the libraries for more file support: I've done this already. What I don't like about File Roller (sorry, now I'll get the name right) is the interface - it's too...

So is there no alternative to Archive Manager? Surely there's something. I just want to experiment and possibly find something I'm more comfortable with.

Well... I don't like the Archive Manager (the default one that comes with Hardy). I have reasons... but I'm a bit too tired to type them and besides, who cares.

I tried WinRAR with Wine but it's...

Holy crap it works! Yeaaaaah! You have no idea how long this has been bothering me.
Thank you so much man.

Yeah, the only reason I installed Firestarter in the first place is to use it as something like a GUI to the iptable so that I could open that port... I didn't need the firewall aspect of it.


...

Yes, 10.0.0.1 is my network IP (the one provided by DHCP).
Well after doing INPUT ACCEPT, oddly enough, the ports are still unconnectable. This is weird.

Here's the result of "iptables -L": (note that I'm trying to forward port 60312, and that that FireStarter was down when I put in the command)

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source...

Anyone?

Yes, DHCP is on and the IP is definitely correct.
