[newbie] Mozilla Thunderbird Signature
Hi, I've just installed Thunderbird as my mailer. I have a signature query... What kind of files are valid as signature files? I have pointed it at a .txt file, containing the signature info, but it isnt happening... I also have the file makesig.pl which I used in conjunction with sig.txt with Kmail Sylpheed. Any ideas?

Re: [newbie] K3B
Right, I'm gonna give it another try.. This Time, I have removed the letter K from every filename in the list I want to burn... (and for those of you that know Kevin Bloody Wilson, he has a hell of a lot of K's in his song titles!) :-) It took a bit of doing, but lets see what happens!

[newbie] Shutdown/Reboot
I have a problem... If I use the Shutdown/Reboot GUI in either KDE or Gnome, the screen goes black, and the computer just hangs, and does not shut down. Turn it on again, and the HDD has to be checked before it boots up. However, Open up a terminal, type poweroff or reboot, and things happen as they should. I havent got a problem with this method, but my PC doesnt have a Windows partition, and is shared by other members of my family, and every time one of them has used it, It checks the file system, as they have been bought up on Windows, and keep forgetting the terminal method.. Any Ideas how I can fix this problem so it works as it should?

[newbie] Knotify and Soundcard
An interesting one this I finally found the route to a stable(ish) 10 community, buy installing 9.2 and upgrading, as opposed to a clean install of 10. I've always had some driver issues with the soundcard (C Media CM8738), but nothing that was not easily sorted. Until today. Boot up, and you get the nice little KDE tune as KDE starts. Play a few MP3's with XMMS, and you get to hear music. Until after a while. Then, try to use the soundcard, and the error message pops up, saying that the soundcard is either not configured properly, or another program is blocking the soundcard. A quick look at ksysguard process table, revealed 7 instances of knotify running. Killed them all, and the sound is back again. Any ideas how to to either disable knotify, or configure it so that when it has notified, it exits? as for some reason it cant be killing itself, and thus is hogging the soundcard.
