generaldisarrayhey all, I LOVE kubuntu, however I can't get seem handbrake to work on it, and I like it far better than k9copy, i have the gstreamer plugins installed and all that stuff, and I can rip/encode with k9copy, but when i click "source" on handbrake for it to read the dvd it goes through the whole thing,b ut then right when it finishes reading it just closes, no error message, and nothing is abnormal in the log, any ideas?01:00
generaldisarrayhmmmm01:05
geniigeneraldisarray: handbrake is not supplied or supported by us. You may consider taking up your issues with whoever provided the package you used01:06
generaldisarrayoh, i apologize01:06
generaldisarraywell, in that case can anyone help me with k9copy, how come i get these horizontal lines (sorta, they aren't like black lines as much as differences in brightness i suppose) when i use k9copy, i get it both with xvid and x264, even when i compress an 18 minute video to 400mb01:10

skimjCan anyone tell me about the user 'klog' I have it in my /etc/passwd file on my boxes that started with old version of Kubuntu but it's not there on one of my fresh installs. Can I remove that user?01:40
geniiskimj: How old a version?01:41
skimjDon't remember, I think one of them started at 8.04 or so. All are running 9.10 now.01:41
skimjgenii: Do you know if that  user was for a daemon or something that has been deprecated?01:46
geniiskimj: On my 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04 those users do not exist01:47
daskreechskimj: Probably a KDE3 user for the klog system01:48
skimjgenii: OK, that confirms what I see with my one fresh install box. I'll backup the passwd file, delete it and see what happens.01:49
skimjdaskreech: yes, I see that user on boxes that originally had KDE3 on them01:49
daskreechskimj: That would be it01:49
daskreechIf you still run KDE3 then you can keep it around otherwise no real reason to01:49
skimjNo, I'm running current KDE4 so that shouldn't be a problem01:50
skimjThanks for the help.01:50
skimjOn a similar note (but not Kubuntu) I have a user "dhcp" on those older boxes but not the newer ones. All of my dhcp files/processes are owned by root. Do you think this is a left-over from times past as well?01:52
