That doesn't seem to be the problem either. But thanks for having me check it!!!
(unless I'm reading the permissions incorrectly!)

Thanks TheFu, but that didn't work. I added myself as members of audio and pulse groups but still get the same crash. Tried to change the 'interface' in audacity from ALSA but it is the only...

I recently installed Trinity Kubuntu 10.10 amd64. When trying to use Audacity I found I could only use it as root! I have created a shortcut of "kdesudo audacity" but that exports everything as root...

One thing I do to avoid having to wait to get to another location, is to use one of the free proxy servers. I use www.hidemyass.com to check outside connectivity to my other machine. But there are...

Ok, it's an older Kubuntu. 8.04 Hardy.
I have a Comtrend CT-5363 router, Desktop with Hardy (also have Oneiric installed but waiting to get Audacity working before switching for good) and an older...

Actually I'm running trinity maverick upgraded to natty.
What I did was use either the Adept manager or the Synaptic Package Manager (I forget which it was) and had a graphical question to select...

Thank you ankspo71. I think I'm going to try the backup of what I want to keep, and hope I don't overlook anything!

beew - I think you miss-understood me. (not hard for the way I say things...

I'm basically trying to do the same thing. Only I'm going from Hardy all the way up and I know there have been a lot of changes. Plus I want to go to the Trinity release since it uses the KDE3.5...

I may be missing something here, but how are you accessing the server? Via ssh? Since it is remote you may have to install vnc or something similar, at least to get things up and running. I don't...

I'm currently running Hardy on my desktop. I have been thinking about upgrading, but I don't like the KDE4 desktop. I know that Trinity is KDE3.5, but worry that upgrading to Trinity may cause the...

Ok, not a fix, but a work-around. I installed format factory ( http://format-factory.en.softonic.com/ ) under wine and convert the non-playable avi's to mp4's, which play fine in kaffeine.
I will...

Ok, I did the sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras but still have the same errors.:(

I have in the past installed some of the codec packages from the repository. Can anyone recommend...

You did say that you were sure it wasn't a hardware problem, or I would suggest that.
The only other thing I could suggest (also being a noob) is to use a windows boot disk/cd. If you don't have...

I don't like the KDE 4.0+ desktops, I prefer the KDE 3.5. I have installed trinity on my laptop and it seems to work ok (haven't tried the video's on it yet). (may get brave and install trinity on my...

On some video's (avi's for one) I cannot get kaffeine to play them. It just says 'codec already installed' and stops.
With mplayer I get 'Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format...

Let's see if I can explain this.

Basically I am trying to do a script that automates updating an html webpage that has mp3 files on it. These mp3's are from a local radio station's "swap shop"...

If being old fashioned is a crime then I guess I'm guilty! :D
I prefer KDE 3.5 over KDE 4.0 - 4.0 reminds me of windows too much!! I recently found the trinity distro for Kubuntu 10.10 and have it...

Autoupdate has been showing 3 updates for the last few weeks. When I do updates it will not do these three. Even trying from the command line as sudo it will not complete them. I've been hoping a new...

I'm not sure, but I think you can manually redirect the boot to /dev/sdb1

If not from normal boots grub menu then you might try the live cd.

This will not fix the problem, but would allow you...

You might try Lives - I know it's in the Hardy repo, don't know about the others.

Thanks Andrew - I hadn't thought of that,maybe it will work!!! (I don't see, as yet, where it would hurt - the programs are 1 hour long)

I posted this on 'absolute beginner' forum with no replies - mods if this isn't allowed, or considered spamming, let me know and I will delete the other thread.

On my ubuntu 10 server I have a...

First - I use zenity on kubuntu 8.04 - so your script should run on kubuntu - however -

Perhaps this should be a new thread, but it is a question about zenity.
I have a script that used zenity's...

Can't help with a direct conversion, but maybe you could create an iso from the flashdrive?

I'm using an old 450 mhz dell latitude with no keyboard, no display, no mouse, 128 meg memory and a 10gig hard drive. Ubuntu 10.04 server runs fine on it. I use webmin or ssh to log on from my...
