bjrohanSIR_Taco: that helps a bit, I got Kuser running, found my misspelled name, but I don't see where to change the login name, only the home dir01:42
bjrohanSIR_Taco: add a new user?01:43
bjrohanI have nothing in my home dir yet01:43

bjrohanSIR_Taco: how does one get into a recovery console in Kubunte, so I can change my username02:11
bjrohanSIR_Taco: this is done a boot time, then select a CLI02:13
SIR_Tacobjrohan, should be able to select it from the grub menu. Or, if you don't have a grub menu (ie, just Kubuntu installed) hold down the shift key when booting02:22
bjrohanI have the GRUB menu, I go into recovery, I then drop out to a shell prompt but when I type: usermod -l newname -m -d /home/newname oldname02:22
bjrohanit says it can't get a lock on /etc/password02:23
bjrohanThe command was from the link you sent :-)02:23
SIR_Tacobjrohan, and instead of 'newname' you used the new user name, and instead of 'oldname' you used the old user name?02:27
bjrohanyes :-)02:28
SIR_Tacobjrohan, add "sudo" (without the quotes) to the beginning of that command02:30
bjrohanI tried that as well02:30
SIR_Tacobjrohan, when given the options, did you drop to shell, or root shell?02:30
bjrohanroot shell my CL says root@bjrohan-Laptop#02:31
SIR_Tacohmm02:31
bjrohanit is odd, I tried sudo usermod -l bjrohan bjrhan02:32
bjrohanstill said couldn't get /etc/password lock02:33
SIR_Tacobjrohan, what about usermod -l newuser -m olduser02:35

contrastGreets, everyone... Anybody using the 4.10 beta? I'm wondering if it's stable enough for general use yet.06:42
Guest74242hi all. asking something. my java program launches a website (which has java applet) inside firefox. essentially, what it does is Runtime.getRuntime.exec("firefox www.mywebsitewithappletinside.com"). my firefox can open the page, but it can NOT render the applet. strangely, when i run "firefox www.mywebsitewithappletinside.com" at konsole, the page can be opened correctly, and the applet is rendered well. i use oracle jre 6.3806:44

I am having a hard time with Konqueror not System Settings defaults for .xpfs files, which i found a work around, but i would just like Konqueror to not steal the playlist files. and Karbon looks like it was hit with a chinese puzzle board made for a cell phone screen. How do i change it back?13:44
