What do I need to do to save the changes and preferences and even install a few programs to it.

When I tried to save the changes after setting up the preferences in smb4k, I got this error message: Configuration file "/root/.kde/share/config/smb4k_sudowriterrc" not writable. Please contact your system administrator. The file does not exist. There is only one file in the directory: kdebugrc I have smb4k successfully running on an EEE 1201PN with 11.04. Seems crazy but when I check this machine, there is no directory in root .kde.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to install Ubuntu on a USB stick. So I went to the ubuntu site and downloaded Ubuntu. Now I have the .iso file on my computer but if I click on it, it asks me to burn but I want to save it on a USB stick. I did that with Universal USB-Installer. It goes smooth but when its finished its not the .iso file thats in it but just some documents and stuff. How do I get the .iso ? (I want to use it with VirtualBox but you need the .iso for that...)

It looks as if, regardless of what I set, I get daily checks. Is anybody else experiencing this? Anybody got a fix? I like the idea of having the system check for me, so I don't want to just pitch the program.

It affects a new account.This is my 10.04 desktop that is affected. I have just the default pulseaudio config.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora where my old Ubuntu partition used to be (formatted the partition appropriately first). I have my home directory on a separate partition, so I asked Fedora to mount it as /home. Since I made my username the same as it had been in Ubuntu, I have basically all the same home directory in Fedora as I did in Ubuntu. This is desirable and it makes my life easier for obvious reasons, but something happened that I didn't expect.
All the settings (desktop background, top and bottom panels, keyboard preferences, etc.) have transferred over to Fedora. That's okay except that they just don't work as well in Fedora, and I'm stuck with sort of an ugly window scheme etc. I know it wouldn't be too hard to change all this stuff back manually, but I was wondering if there was a way to change it back the Fedora default appearance. Like my deleting a folder in the home directory or something?
I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 using the automated distro upgrade, and my resolution has been changed to 1024x768. I tried to go to System -> Preferences -> Display to see why this might be, but that entry is missing from my Preferences menu. I am using a Radeon HD 4200 video card, but I am not using any special video drivers right now. /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist.

How do I get the monitor settings working?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI installed 10.4 on my Satellite Pro via CD replacing XP. Screen resolution is now only 800x600 which fills only 3/4 of available screen space and there are no greater options in System Preferences Monitors. It is also operating rather slower than the previous OS, maybe these two issues are connected? I have checked Administration for any required Proprietary Drivers. There is just one for a modem which is activated. During installation I aborted it then closed down and restarted, which may have affected the process?

I copied the unr 9.10 iso to my usb stick fine using the program from pendrivelinux for ubuntu 9.1. I think it worked well, because it now has a ubuntu logo on the usb and says "install ubuntu netbook remix." When I get to the BIOS menu and to the boot options, I get a box which says three things: SDD slot, D: drive, and disabled (maybe talking about the D)When I press enter on the D: drive nothing happens. When I say to save configuration and exit it goes right to xp again. I have no idea what to do... I'm on an EEEpc 1005-HA running xp.

As i said; it have worked before, to boot and install from the SD card but for some reason when i restart nothing happens, just normal restart and yes; i have checked the boot order so it isn't that, 1:st boot priority is "external device", which would be the same as USB or SD card, and again, i have easily installed from SD card before so i can't understand why nothing happens now, has something changed?

So how should I configure 'software sources' so that I don't get offered to upgrade to the next release (11.04?). When on 10.04, I had the 'show new distribution releases' set to 'Long term support releases only', but it didn't offer the upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 unless I changed it to 'Normal releases'. Should I now be setting it back to 'Long term support releases only' in order to stay with maverick? What would I miss out on if I do that?
