Hardy Gnome or Hardy KDE

[iMav]

just one question, did u save the xorf.conf from ur last installation of gutsy.

Always backup xorg.conf, u just hav to overwrite to get things normal.

the previous installation had gone kaput because it had nvidia drivers and my card has died.

I must be imagining things. iMav using Linux!

not the first time

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73632 , I actually want to try KDE 4, oh and yeah I have used slax also extensively, I don't bash Linux just like that, I sincerely haven't liked working on it or rather working with it

@kalpik, will try it and let you know.

I actually want to try KDE 4,

There is a Kubuntu KDE4 remix version for download which has the live and install version of KDE4. U checked that ?

T159's blog post helped me solve the problem, I knew I had to change the monitor from somewhere as I did in Gutsy, but didn't know where the control panel was. Anyway's this blog post helped me:

I changed my monitor to LCD 1280x1024 & the reso seems to be proper now.

Hey guys recommend some music player, last time I tried Exaile, this time wanna try something else, any new media player which is better than Exaile?

 

[Faun]

rhythmbox - got good navigation UI
Amarok - better for KDE (slow startup in gnome)
Banshee - i did'nt like it somehow.

Songbird - Its still not mature but teh best in features and library management. Consider it as firefox of media player.

Exaile - At last this one suits me

 

[iMav]

Guess Exaile still prevails

 

[FilledVoid]

Exaile works for me. You might not want to try Songbird yet. Ive heard that it might not actually scroble some songs and after seeing your last.fm profile I think that would be a serious drawback for you . I found Amarok a bit resource Intensive but I do like it. My next choice would be Listen or Rhythmbox. They arent big downloads so you could try them out with no problem .

 

[CadCrazy]

Music quality wise VLC has no match which is why it is my fav music/video player.But its lacks some of music player's essential features.

Guys how do get write permissions for my HFS+ partition, I have read access to it but no write permission. How do I get that?

I tried editing the file using sudo nautilus still the same error of read only.

 

[FilledVoid]

I'm not sure if this is for Hardy but its worth a try. *ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2346494#post2346494

 

[iMav]

I am unable to write on the partition, I tired using the gksudo nautilus command too.
