KDE died on me
by vze284qe＠verizon.net 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

Hello, KDE 3.5.9 died on me. I installed some updates via the adept updater and after rebooting, I get dropped into run-level 3 (which I actually prefer). When I type startkde, which is in /usr/bin, I get the following errors: Xsetroot : unable to open display '' Xset : unable to open display "" Xsetroot : unable to open display '' Startkde : Starting up. . . Startkde : Running kpersonalizer. . . Kwin : X server can not connect to Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : If I type startx instead, the gnome window manager starts up fine. Any ideas??? I really prefer KDE. Thanks, -- -Chuck

Self-Introduction and LinuxGlobe Invitation
by Markus McLaughlin 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello everyone, my name is Markus McLaughlin, I am both a member of the Fedora Project and a Linux blogger with a blog at http://linuxglobe.wordpress.com. About 5 years ago, I became a fan of Linux but did not actually use it until I bought my first Mac, which was a Mini, I now use an Intel iMac and I run Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04, and openSUSE in VMware Fusion. I want to reach out to other Linux hobbyists AND writers who want to promote Linux. What I want to do with my blog is to add other Writers who want to both promote Linux and help those who don't know what to do with it, with columns. Hopefully, Red Hat, Novell, and other companies will want to help fund a major Linux Magazine right here in North America. I want to help fill a niche that needs to be filled and HELP those who can't afford a Windows/Mac computer have free tools, internet access, and an inexpensive used laptop/desktop. Anyway, if anyone here has any ideas on what we can do together to promote Linux in this part of Massachusetts, PLEASE contact me. Fedora 9, IMHO, is much better than Ubuntu, so please check out the Fedora site at http://fedoraproject.orgsoon! Onward and forward!!! *Mark McLaughlin Hudson, MA*

I'm trying to set up Echolink (amateur radio software) on Ubuntu (through WINE). My computer failed the firewall tests -the troubleshooting material recommended the following: Allow UDP destination ports 5198-5199 between Internet and PC in both directions Allow TCP (source port any, destination port 5200) from PC to Internet What security risks do I introduce by doing this? (Is it worth the risk?) Thanks, Simeon MacMillen P.S. I've been on the Wlug mailing list for a year, though I've only managed to make it to one meeting so far.

Meeting Topic Idea - MythTV
by joel d 07 May '08

07 May '08

WLUG'ers, I have a meeting topic idea but very little knowledge of the proposed topic, MythTV. I have a DVR through my cable provider, Charter, but am unhappy with it's features and capacity. I am ready to buy a capture card, re-dedicate some PC hardware and commit to building a Myth box. I know this was covered back in 2003 by Tim Keller, but my lack of recall has me missing details of his excellent presentation. Any others think this is a good idea for a meeting topic? If so, would anyone indulge by presenting Myth with their knowledge, hardware info (PC spec and video spec) and setup & install details? Joel
