Hey Lazi. I tried to upload a pic to photobucket and it didn't work in Kubuntu. Can you recommend me a place where you can post pics that work with Linux?

As long as the image has a .png, .gif, .jpg/jpeg, or .bmp extension, you should be fine for any host. Just make sure you save it. I would recommend the PNG format.

No it's because there's some compatibility issues with Konqueror. I switched to Firefox and it worked fine.

Hey Lazi. I tried to install J2RE and it screwed up and now I can't update my packages because it says Adept is already in use. How do I fix it so I can use Adept again?

I'm not sure. The best thing to do would be to post on the Kubuntu forums.
You can always just try and kill the Adept process and see if that helps. Also, manually installing J2RE may be a work-around, but I don't know if it will help with the Adept problem.
I'm really not sure on this one. Sorry.

Ok well then do you use Kaffeine? Do you know how to resize the movie? Not the software screen inside the area but the movie itself. Plus I tried resizing in Mplayer and don't know how either and it reads off my E: drive instead of my D: drive. D and E are both cdrom/dvdrom drives.

Google Trends recently updated their online "popularity" meter and Ubuntu remains the clear No.1 Linux distro in terms of search trend. Fedora and Debian seem to be battling for the second position, while SuSE had a small "trend" loss in the 3rd place. Then, we find Gentoo, Mandriva, then Red Hat and Kubuntu. While this trend meter is not an official Linux distro market/mind share, it's considered a pretty good approximation. Meanwhile, Fedora seems more strong in USA, while SuSE in Europe.

I couldn't give two ***** if Kubuntu was in 10th place. I still love it and I think it rocks totally. Mandriva is like the good old dos days, very basic and generic. OpenSuse is kinda cool but too complicated and technical; took me at least 15 mins to find stuff in there. Fedora was not bad but I didn't care for it that much though. Ubuntu was good for me and the average beginner starting out, but I found it to be too limited in a lot of ways. I know Kubuntu is only a graphical version of Ubuntu using KDE (K Desktop Environment), but the way it's designed, it just suits my needs perfectly for me. I've never seen Gentoo, Red Hat or Debian. I wonder what those are like.

Don't even bother trying to install Gentoo. Unless you have strong programming skills and know how to compile your kernel from the command line, I wouldn't recommend it.
Basically, Ubuntu/Kubuntu are based off of Debian, so you won't see a whole lot of difference there.
It's been a while since I've played with Red Hat. It's pretty much the same as Fedora, except it's an enterprise-level Linux distribution.
And really, if you want to measure what is and isn't popular, I suggest visitiong www.netcraft.com and www.distrowatch.org. They are more accurate and less biased.

Good stuff!

No one told me about. It would have really helped me 3 months ago.

Hey Lazi, I tried burning Ubuntu Studio but Nero is being a jackass about it. How do I burn this 900 mb on a dvd? I mean seriously there are no 900mb cds. Get serious Nero!   Yes I still use Windows XP on a dual boot so there's some things I do in Windows as well as in Linux.

A lot of people dual-boot with Windows and Linux side by side.
Unless it's a bad ISO image, you should be able to. Does Nero recognize the blank disk as a DVD?

Well my friend thinks I should go straight Linux. I told him I'd rather dual boot in case I encounter a problem then I can go back to Windows till I fix the problem. Linux can be full of bugs as much as Windows can as I have seen with Kubuntu these days. Yeah it does. That's why it gave a wrong disc format error.

I had to use a program like Cdburner Xp Pro to burn it. It's freeware too! Then I installed it and guess what it gave me an x desktop configuration error. So I give up. All that downloading time and work for a program that doesn't even run.

If X doesn't load, that usually means a graphics error. I'm guessing that it doesn't like your video card...

Damn. I really wanted to use it. It's a real nice program.

You may just have to enter some parameters in a terminal. I would suggest checking out their forums for help.

There's a way to bypass automatic startup of the OS. When it's done manually, you're given the opportunity to enter commands that way.
Reading is what invigorates the mind, keeping it sharp!

So Ubuntu Studio is an OS? I thought it was a multimedia program for Linux. Wow I am so far out there these days that it's not funny.

Here's the info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Studio
| Quote: | | Ubuntu Studio is an official derivative of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, which is explicitly geared to general multimedia production. It was released 2007-05-10. |
Yup, it's a specialized version of Ubuntu.

What's the model of your TV card?
