    You can't uninstall grub, since that's the bootloader. The best you can do is edit its' config so that it is displayed for 0 seconds, which basically makes it invisible.

    If you're going from a blank slate with just Openbox, I highly recommend you use wicd - it'd be easier if you have a wired connection so you can just apt-get it.

    VLC has the ability to "re-broadcast" video, so that may be worth looking into. I'm not sure if (or how well) it'll interface with your capture card, however.

    [SOLVED] Re: Can't start Amarok

    Sure enough, that was it - I had libtag.so.1 in both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. I ran 'sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libtag.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libtag1.so.1.bak' and now Amarok starts properly. Thanks!

  21. [ubuntu] Re: how to view files on my C: drive with ubuntu installed as dual boot via Wine ?
