View 2 RepliesI downloaded the "BlueSwirl" login screen theme from [URL]..After extracting the tar ball I read the install and readme files files. The readme was useless but the install file said to use 'gdmsetup' to install. so I pulled up a terminal window and ran 'gdmsetup' and this is what came out.

When lauching gdmsetup I can't unlock it to change settings. nothing happens when clicking on "lock" button
the same problem in Ubuntu Software Center 2.0.7. nothing happens when I pull "Install"
(no authorization starts)
there are no authorization window in admin-shares too
It started when I have changed the type of ubuntu login - I have changed from gdmsetup settings from "password" to automatic authorization.
I checked the the PolicyKit Agent. It seems to working (and autostarting) with such command:
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
I'm trying to run the "Login Window" application in Ubuntu to allow me to setup automatic login. When I select it all I get is a message in the task bar stating an application is starting then that disappears but the app does not start.I've also tried starting it from the command line using gksu /usr/sbin/gdmsetup but this has the same result and does not yield any more clues to the problemMy next thought was to reinstall gdm but I'm not sure about that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI cannot install Kubuntu 8.04LTS. When I run the Live CD and click to install it gets me the box that should show me my hard drives and possible partitions but the box is empty. I get the same when booting to the Live CD and clicking on install. I have had this CD since Kubuntu 8.04 was released. So not knowing what might be wrong I figure I will ask here for what to type in a command line to install it. I know it is an old version but it is the last one with KDE 3.5.
View 7 Replies View RelatedCouple of days I go I setup VLC using Kubuntu's graphic software manager, and installed the 3 plug-ins, one of which was related to pulse. After doing this sound stopped working in flash videos. I had read, not sure where, that Kubuntu didn't use pulse (which slipped my mind when setting up VLC).
So I make the mistake of removing everything which had pulse in it's name (again, via the graphic software manager). A message popped-up saying that some packages needed to be removed/edited (a LONG list, a big clue that I was doing something stupid I guess). I let it run it's course and after that it won't boot properly.
If I boot it normally it hangs at the Kubuntu screen with the five dots filling endlessly. If I press F1 it's stuck at "checking battery status."
Recovery mode boots, but the recovery option does nothing.
So I was wondering if I could boot into recovery mode and go into the terminal and add a live USB as a repository for apt, and try to salvage the install?
Or should I admit defeat and reinstall?
In a couple days I plan on changing to opensuse from kubuntu. Anyway in the Kpackagemanager I removed the pulseaudio client (and its dependencies) and it messed up my system a bit. I don't really mind but all I need is to get my files from my home folder off my hdd to an external through usb 2.0. When Kubuntu 9.10 boots now all it is is a command terminal basically and I don't know the specific commands to get the files. Or if I need to reinstall something so that it boots up with a graphical looking UI again.

Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?
I type my username and password and then press enter in the log in screen, kubuntu will always bring me back to the log in screen.I google my problem but the result is the same

i was wondering if you can have docks on Kubuntu. It would be pretty awesome if i could get it on there. I have tried to install AWN but when i restarted i get Gnome(Ubuntu). It is all fixed but i was just wondering if i could get a dock that wont do that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use aMule, under 64 bit Kubuntu on KK. I get a low ID. When I try the connectivity test it fails. I am advised to: 'Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port..I don't have any doubts about my router, since eMule works fine under Windows on my network.So I am persuaded to examine the firewall on my KK installation - except that I cannnot find it.
In addition, how do I find the definition for my network card to be sure it is set to the correct IP address to match my router settings?
I changed from Ubuntu to Kubuntu by installing KDE. I'm not sure if I have Ubuntu or Kubuntu now because at login I can choose between both desktops.Anyway, when using Gnome, about once a week it asked for upgrades, and then did this all in the background.
Now with KDE, this doesn't work anymore. At some point there came a screen that was similar to that of Gnome, except if I pressed ok to update and entered my password, it crashed and brought up the KDE crash handler.
I'm running ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on an amd x64 computer. I have a cd for kubuntu 9.04 32 bit that I want to try. When I reboot and the "boot from CD/DVD:" comes up I hit the enter key (sometimes many times) but it won't load the kubuntu.
View 4 Replies View Relatedcurrently using a CompaQ Altec Lansing laptop,which came with Windows 7 Pre-installed. It is the 64 bit version. The same day I got it I got Ubuntu on it as well, also in 64 bit.
I have had no problems with either of them. What I would like to do, is install Kubuntu 10.04 64 bit along side Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Is it possible? Or would i be stuck having to make a Wubi?
I was just thinking can you get a start bar like the one on Kubuntu and if so how?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I don't know why but my Kubuntu system gets freeze after some period of usage. I believe it is random because I don't see any fixed time period or any software. But my knowledge is yet limited in Ubuntu, so what are the places I can check if it has any h/w or s/w issues ??
Just to let you guys know, Originally I had only Ubuntu installed. But I installed Kubuntu just few days ago along with Ubuntu using,
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Any reply is really appreciated ...
Thanks,

How do I set the screensaver in kubuntu 10.10? I've searched the web for help, and everywhere says it's under "desktop" in start | settings, but I can't see an entry for "desktop", only for "desktop settings" which seems to be something completely different (though fun). Pretty much a Linux newbie

Kubuntu and win 7 have their own separate hard drives. The problem showed up when I installed the new Kubuntu 11.04 (disconnected win7 hard drive in hope that it wouldn't affect the win boot loader) . As of now, it's just an annoyance since I can just hit f12 quickly during startup and decide which one I want to boot. I tried doing what other tutorial suggest, but I am a little nervous about their instruction in reference to what number I should jot down since situation may be a little different.
Basically, I want Grub or whatever good working boot-loader to be installed (I heard a rumor that a click-able one was in the making) on my Kubuntu hard drive, and avoid affecting my win 7 hard drive (they research now with the updates to make sure you got their boot-loader running *sigh).
Here is some data I collected from partition editor, hopefully this will assist somebody in understanding my problem better:
ATA ST (where linux is installed)
/dev/sda1; type: ext4; size: 461.76 GiB; Used: 20.77 GiB
/dev/sda2 type: extended; size: 4.00 GIB; Used: 4.00 GiB
/dev/s...; type: linuxswap; size: 4.00GiB; Used: ---;
ATA WDC (Win 7 is installed)
/dev/sdb1; type: ntfs; size: 596.17 GiB; Used: 116.61 GiB
I just installed Kubuntu 11.04 on my netbook, and it is acting up more than what Windows 7 Starter would!Every time I enable the visual effects, things start to run so slow that it automatically disables them again, and every time I go to change the desktop background, either the desktop goes blank or the x server crashes completely and restarts.Kubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04 work just fine, but I like the driver support and features that Kubuntu 11.04 has.
