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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, just that lead page for Democracy is giving me warm feelings in my nethers. Downloading stat.

Democracy is all kinds of awesome.
So, neither suggestion for kubuntu worked. Selecting KDE as the selection didn't do anything, and it blanked out again before showing the login window; and going in to the command line and using the startx command just ran through a long line of code before bringing me back to the command prompt again. I have no idea what's going on, and I don't really have anything on that partition it would hurt to lose, but it's still frustrating, and shakes my faith in Kubuntu somewhat, which is a shame as I was planning on making it my primary OS.

If you run the command "startx > output.txt 2>&1" and mail me the contents of output.txt, I can help you debug it. The problem is that there are just so many things that could possibly be wrong.

You could try reconfiguring xorg.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Select the resolutions you want and try startx again.
If it doesn't work, then you can undo the changes with
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Dunno if it will help, probably won't, but it's worth a shot since you can undo it pretty easily.
Shoot, Ubuntu has been solid for me, but I don't know if Kubuntu is as solid.

thanks guys, I'll try to do that soon. I'm surprised, because I'd heard great things about this build, so.

Kubuntu 6.10?
Is this a case of it not working after install or distribution upgrade? Or is it a case of everything working okay and then just stopping?

Everything was working okay, and just recently it stopped, for no apparent reason. I'd been using Kubuntu for about a month before this happened.

Can anyone remind me of the cool Mac sites? Mr. Jane just got his first Apple. (We're going to take pictures later for the scrapbook).
