[kubuntu] pipelight only works as root topic

Hello all,

I installed "pipelight" from the repositories and use Firefox as a browser. I use "User Agent Overrider" plugin in combination with "pipelight".
My (k)Ubuntu version is 12.04 LTS 64 Bit.

Unfortunately I can only view movies from Amazon using "kdesu firefox".

With my normal user account I get an error 1002.

I already tried to move the $HOME/.wine-pipelight directory from root's home to mine and changed the ownership. That did not help.

Did anybody already see this issue?
Do I have to add my user to a particular group?

This issue only seems to appear on 64 Bit version of Kubuntu.
On another Laptop with a 32 Bit installation this does not happen.

Any solution on how to solve this or how to debug would be great!

Thanks in advance!

[ubuntu] Random Lockup, REISUB sometimes works topic

Ive used Ubuntu 12.04 for 4 years with not a single complaint, upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 last year. I built a new desktop three months ago and after several reinstalls I've been experiencing lockups at seemingly random intervals. Sometimes the computer will run for days with no problem, other times like this morning it will lockup 15 seconds after login. Usually I try REISUB to restart after the lockup but after updating last week that sometimes doesn't work. Originally I thought it was the video driver crashing leaving me with a frozen display since programs would keep running(rhythm box would finish playing current song but stopped after song finished, handbrake would successfully finish ripping the DVD) so I then tried logging into the computer via tty1 but of course the screen would stay frozen on the gui desktop, then I tried ssh but a connection couldn't be made after the computer locked up. Ive heard of a kernel panic screen but have yet to see that. Occasionally everything will freeze besides the cursor but after a few seconds that will freeze too, if that gives anyone any clues. The lockups don't seem to be from any one program, sometimes the computer will lockup in a Steam game, sometimes with just Firefox open, so overheating doesn't seem to be the culprit to me.

ubuntu wifi works, xubuntu does not topic

my toshiba laptop satellite L15W-B1302 has a Realtek wireless RTL8723BE PCIe adapter. when i installed ubuntu 14.04 it worked automatically. but i prefer xfce, so in installed xubuntu 14.04 on another partition, but xubuntu did not install the driver. and since the laptop has no internet, i cannot download or install anything until the wifi works, unless a usb flash drive will work. so, the question is: can i copy the ubuntu drivers from their partition to the xubuntu install? i can boot to either and mount the un-booted filesystem, so can i just copy some files? if so, where would i look? thanks in advance for any advice.

[ubuntu] Ethernet Internet Works in Try Ubuntu 14.04.1 but not after Installing topic

I am no using the Ubuntu 14.04.1 "Try Ubuntu", the Ethernet connection to go on the internet works great, as you can see. However, when I boot up the installed version, no Ethernet, no Wireless. Is there a way to get the information the correct info over to the installed version so it works?
