Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Good point, but it will still be useful to see what happens. Does the resolution switch between KDM and KDE? I'm not really sure if it does, I kinda think not, but the screen blanking out sounds like a resolution change.
Logging in from the command line and running startx should start up KDE I think. A really odd possiblity would be that the default session is set to command line. Full root partition that makes KDE bomb out? I'm just guessing really.
I would defintely post a question at ubuntuforums.org.
Hey, I'm having a weird problem with Kubuntu
On the login page, you should see an Options button, hit that, then Select Session. Choose KDE from the list.

It's not, because it starts up in GUI and I re-load to get to the command line.
I'll try startx--that was my next step, but I've had to much around in Windows most recently, so. Eddie, I'll try that too, but I think I tried all the different session options available and it did the same thing each time.
I'll report back.
Does anyone use RSS with their torrenting? I'm looking at a client for Azureus and it's making me dizzy.
Worth it?
I haven't tried it, but Opera has RSS and Bittorrent support built-in so it might handle it. I use Opera for my podcast client and I actually like it better than the dedicated ones I've used. It's not exactly full featured in the podcast client role though.
I tried using Opera's torrenting, but the downloads tended to stall in a way that Azureus never had. And the configuration options are so much clearer in Azureus (well, many of them are still Greek to me, but at least I know where they are if I need to follow instructions) so I went with it.
I want to tie RSS in if it means it'll automatically grab shows without me having to go out and get them. I know it can't be that easy, though.

Bummer. I've never tried Opera for bittorrent so I didn't know it wasn't fully baked.
ita, I've been messing around with the combo of Democracy [link] and tvrss.net - I don't torrent enough stuff to have a good feel for whether it stalls out more or less than other options, but the "get me new eps when they're posted" part is automagical.
Okay, just that lead page for Democracy is giving me warm feelings in my nethers. Downloading stat.
