Naming...............

Mounting Drives by default....

Default mounting is very useful for amarok, acetoneiso like application which keep a database of files in the system.

There is an option in system settings but it didn't worked for me.........

I used do it in the install time itself using advanced partitioning by right clicking and selecting use this partition.........

after installation if we need to do the same edit /etc/fstab

add following line

/dev/sdaX /media/disk filetype defaults 0 0

replace sdaX,disk & filetype with your requirements

you can get disk info from sudo fdisk -l command

filetype should be ext4 or ntfs or vfat etc...

ex
/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

will mount sda1 by default to /media/windows folder

Language Problems with SCIM

Prob:Qt applications wont support SCIM input...only Firefox supports SCIM input...

Solution:This is solved if you are selecting the default location as us while installation..
didn't get the reason till now..

Panel colour changes to Black [10. 04]

Network manager in Kubuntu 10.04

1. Network manager is disabled after wake up from sleep

Solution:

you need to add widget to panel

In some systems still it is not working

then boot in recovery mode and take root terminal with networking and check network ststus with ifconfig
