The most common reason I've heard about this problem is that the user
doesn't have their networking setup right. Various causes from not
having loopback enabled to having the wrong entries in /etc/hosts. That
would be the first thing I would check out myself.

Kate: How to set the charset to a fixed default value?

2004-01-16 Thread Tim Ruehsen
Hi,

when opening text files with german umlauts (eg. in Comments of C source 
code), kate sets the charset not to iso-8859-1(5) or compatible but to some 
kyrillic charset. After saving the file, all umlauts are converted into some 
kyrillic chars - sometimes just to a question mark.

If I( do not forget to) manually set the charset to iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15 
after opening a file, everthing is fine. But how can I say kate to open all 
files with iso-8859-15 by default?
