Thanks Alan I have done this. there were some errors indicated, and if actions were suggested I did them.

The video window has a couple of blank (horizontal) bars below it which look as if something should be in them - is this how it should be? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
