I am running kde 2.2 here with Woody's mozilla and: 
 java -version
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS, mixed mode)

The only browser that will run this is netscape 4.77.  Konq ran once but did 
not display the java graphical "start" button.  Mozilla didn't run it at all.

Robert:

Is it something as simple as "play sound" where sound demon is busy and won't 
let kmail use the sound card?  Seems that I had that happen once with kde 
2.02.

One way is to add a new partition to your system and install a debian base, 
source, compiler and begin your task.

A second way, and one that was fun to see on my own box, is using fakeroot, 
debootstrap,  and chroot(?).  Early versions of kde3 were compiled on this 
computer in this *new* environment.  It actually installs a new version of 
Debian, in a protected environment.  A user then can become a fakeroot user 
and apt-get all the stuff needed to build packages.  I don't recall all the 
binaries that are needed, but I know that there is at least one hacker that 
does, and reads this list!

This is a compiler option.  As far as I know, all binary packages in debian 
are built for a 386 (for intels).  When you are ready to build, add the 
appropriate string and press ENTER to build for your particular needs.

I think many of us have been in this stage before.  The trick is that you can 
use the ALT+LEFT_CLICK on your mouse to move any window anywhere on your

making a file with root permissions

2002-03-30 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Greetings Bill:

So sorry you spent so much time fooling with the file.  A quick call here 
could have saved you some time, though I do admit to being gone a lot of 
yesterday!

If you still have the file on your drive, probably in 
/home/bill/YourFileName, then you can simply move it with the 'mv' command as 
root!  Also note that you can do a "dir" that is quite powerful:  'ls -al'.  
'ls' by it self will show files and directories that are not hidden.  By 
adding the '-al' to the 'ls' command, you can see the whole directory, hidden 
files, who *owns* the file, what *group* the file belongs to, and *who* can 
*read* the file!  This will also show if it can be *executed*!  Very powerful.

The next is way to do something special is to vi!  open a Konsole, switch to 
superuser: 'su -', and do note that space and hiphen, that makes you root 
with all of roots *extra stuff (tm)* :)  Now open a vi with the command 'vi'. 
You now have the most powerful and fastest editor at your disposal.  This is 
a command driven editor, and it doesn't come with a newbieuserfriendly gui. . 
.  To add stuff to your file, first press 'i' for (i)nsert, type your text.  
Now get out of insert mode with the 'esc' key.  Now save your document by 
pressing and holding the shift key, and pressing the letters 'zz'.  The whole 
thing would look like this:
vi AFunnyLetterToJaye.txt(this creates the name and opens the editor
i   starts the insert mode
esc   back to editor command mode
Shift zz  saves the precious work and exits the editor.

Emacs is also workable and useable I THINK as superuser.

I hear the echo like voice say:  "Hey Jaye, I DID save that file that I 
created as user bill, what else do I need to do after I move it?"

Very good question Bill!  I would change the owner & group flags to root.  
That is really simple:  chown (CHange OWNer) is the command to do this.  we 
would issue the command:  chown root.root YourFileName (enter)  :)
Note the first root is the owner, followed by the period and no spaces, the 
second root is the group.

"What the hell are groups for?"

Bill, you are delighting me with these great questions!  The owner and groups 
are important for keeping a tight lock on security of your computer.  I don't 
want the world to have access to my sound system, so I changed all my group 
for sound to 'audio', then I only added two people to that group, root and 
jaye.  Now if *anyone* else were to log onto my box, they can't touch my 
sound card, and those programs that need my sound.  Not much security there, 
but that is only at first glance.  If a program has a security vulnerability 
that could possibly give root permissions on a buffer overflow to my sound 
demon, then I COULD have had a problem.  But my group effort took care of the 
problem before it could ever be exploited.

Another very good idea is the 'disk' group.  Bill needs to save stuff to the 
hard drive, floppy, cdburner etc.  However, joeBlow doesn't need this right.  
Joeblow might be just simply looking at the webpage my computer provides, but 
that is purely a readonly issue.  So, bill could hack his way on the box, yet 
still not have the right to save a simple text file on the drives!  That is 
the *root* of this simple security measure, and the root of much anger by 
newbies that don't read manuals.

There are several basic, and simple commands I think any user should know.  
They are not specifically related to just linux, since I have the same 
feeling when I am in a DOS command mode.  Things like "dir" and 'ls' are 
basics.  'md' and 'mkdir', 'del' 'rm'.  Note however that linux provides many 
many extra functional arguements for each of the commands.  'man ls' will 
give you a very good idea of what I mean.

Now, reading a (man)ual page is ok, but here is another trick you have.  Open 
up konqueror web browser.  Now, in the url field, enter:  #ls  (click go).  
Your browser has the ability to uncompress that manual page, then display it 
on your web browser, *and* add hyperlinks to related pages!  Some times I 
like using it with the scroll bar, other times, a simple console (Konsole) is 
what I prefer.

I have a good book here, if you would like to borrow it.  It applies to all 
linux, but is clearly slanted to the redhat and mandrake flavors.  It applies 
generically, and I think it helps take out the unknown elements.

End of essay :)

tatah Bill, 73

Dan:

I may simply be too confused to help, but . .   Are you *sure* yahoo is your 
smtp server?  I had used yahoo for a short time, but I had to use my normal 
ISP's smtp for outgoing mail.  I am still required to use cox's address even 
though users send me mail @arrl.net.  

If you are indeed using yahoo as an ISP, then I would double check the smtp 
settings and verify you are not attempting to *relay* through them 
erronously.  Also, do you need to pop mail first *then* send?

Good luck to you.

Greetings:

I noted the same question, and I really don't know where to apply the 
proposed solution, but I will share what I just noted today.

I had all my pluggins noted in the konq pluggins, but shock never did work.  
I just got in the habit of using the "open with" command and choose netscape 
and hoped it would fly.  This time, I went to the Movie page I have bookmarked
and clicked on the first movie.  Sure enough, it failed, and printed a notice 
to download shock etc.  I re-opened the settings page, and clicked the "scan 
for new pluggins" button.  It didn't add anything to the list of pluggin 
directories, or pluggins, but it *did* finally use shock.  Unfortunately, 
they use quicktime, so I still can't see the trailer.  fork-it.

I am using woody, with no unstable kde locally.  Here I gesticulate a big 
 in an omnidirectional fashion  :)

quotes and stuff

2002-02-12 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Greetings:

I have a problem reproducing accurate text from various locations on my Woody 
box.  I go to many web sites to read news that use the quotation symbols ["], 
but it is reproduced on my box as a box or a space.  The apostrophe ['] is 
also often reproduced here wrongly as a space.  What have I done wrong that 
this is happening only on documents not produced on this box?  In other 
words, if I use something like StarOffice 5.2 to create a document, all is 
fine, but if I import a document that was saved in RTF or DOC, I see this 
problem.  Same is true when I visit many websites with all my browsers.

Any help would be nice.

Also, don't forget about the badness from the resync bug ..  That could have

status for Woody users

2002-01-10 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Greetings:

Would like to know if we have a good idea (or any) of when kde will migrate 
from unstable to testing?  I wish to avoid as much migratory damage as 
possible locally and elsewhere.

Next, there was a foopah in November with forcing parts of kde during 
upgrades using apt.  Has this been resolved?  It sprung up two nights ago 
when I did a dist-upgrade on another Woody box that hadn't been touched for 
several months.

TIA and great work all!

m68k

"The reason for rolling it slowly is apparently to preserve the

Daniel:

Is there an emulator we could use on an intel machine for building m68k 
stuff??  I know I can run windoz under my intel linux box now. . .  That

I read kde-user, so it's not necessary to CC me.

I don't use any of the other mailers like netscape, opera, or console like 
mutt etc.  I have used linuxfreemail.com for any attachments.  I like it 
since I can telnet into them and use pine :)  Go figure.  I can also access 
them via http with linuxfreemail.com webmail gui.  Works nicely.  I can also 
pop3 them, and they claim they will support imap soon.

In fact, I have considered setting pine up here, it's very easy to use and so 
far, I have not used a man page once on it :)

good luck

Rachel:

That is correct.  If you are running a pure Woody box, then parts of KDE are 
broken and we are kind of in limbo waiting for some new packages to trickle 
down from Sid to fix these problems.  

An option is to install the Sid version of KDE, or wait until the repaired 
newer packages make it into Woody.

Greetings:

That seems odd to me that Marc sustained this foopah if  running 
Woody!  I am also running woody, and so far, have not had this happen to my 
kde, but another box on my lan that runs Sid was affected.

I understand that code lives in Sid for two weeks without major bugs *before* 
moving to Woody.  Did something transit into woody without the two week delay?

Tom,

I did a woody install too, and noted the lack of kmix.  You can either 
install kmix (if it will) or pull another mixer from debian.  I like kmix but 
aumix also works well.  apt-get install aumix

Best of luck

Ben:

I had a case locally during an ISP foobar that kmail was slow.  Every day, it 
just seemed slower.   I was positive it had to be a DNS lookup issue.  
Everyone else on the lan had instant downloads except me!  Finally, looking 
over the 'network' tab, I found the oops!  I hand unchecked the box "delete 
mail from server" since I was using two email programs at one point.  I had 
several thousand emails that kmail would have to sift through each check.  It 
crashed kmail the first time it deleted the old mails, but then it was fine :)

Greetings:

I also ran into this problem with the first parts of 2.2.1 that showed up in 
testing without getting all of kde.  Mail was *very* broken, and it wouldn't 
even check mail (it would fail every time).  I got hundreds of *unknown* 
emails also, but not all of them!  I can't even fathom why!  I think we have 
to wait several more days before the rest of kde will come in from unstable 
(last I read here).

BTW, I ended up completely wacking the .kde directory after backup and 
removing *all* kde stuff and trying over... Finally, I recieved word that it 
was broken for testing and switched to blackbox.  I never deleted any of my 
index files and kept my ~/Mail directory intacted locally.  Still, *always* 
very good idea to backup stuff.

Good luck to you.

   Greetings Rachel,

I understand your fear!  KDE is included with your new sources list.  You 
will no longer need to specify a seperate entry just for KDE since the qt 
library issue was resolved.  Here is cp of my active source list from 
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib 
non-free

If you have broadband, this won't be much of an issue. Took less then 10 
minutes for me to upgrade from potato to woody with cable modem.  It however 
took a little longer to set up the new applications like 'x' and several 
others.

I wouldn't pull your kde out just yet.  Do the upgrade and see how well apt 
handles what you already had installed.  If it becomes an issue, then pull 
them (apt-get remove pacagewhatever --purge).  Another way is dselect; when 
you mark a package for removal, a dependency page will come up, where it will 
tell you all the other things it recommends removing.  dselect however, is 
still a pain when you are still learning the ropes.

The new look and feel of woody is very nice though.  

hth.

Mark:

Look under your "Edit" menu item. The spell check Icon was removed when I 
think 2.1.2 was brought to debian users. You can easily add the Icon back to 
the tool bar using the "Settings-Configure Toolbar" as I did. In fact, I 
thought that it was one of the nicest features I've found on Kmail.

Good luck to you.

Greetings Tom:

I feel helpless to fend off the urge to ignore this request. I just happened 
to of discovered Abiword for Woody. I really like the feel and the looks, but 
it is quite old, compared to Sid's .9x. I would suggest to you to do an 
"apt-get install abiword" and see what *you* think as well as your blushing 
bride. I didn't like the fact that it didn't want to save as a M$Word ".doc" 
format, but I may have simply missed it. It has a great GUI IMO and simply 
felt good.

I haven't played with the koffice suit since it's pre-alpha days when Ivan 
gave it to us for Potato. I may install it now that I have Woody running.

StarOffice 6.0 really took me by surprise. It's still big, fat and plenty of 
fluff, but it is also graphically beautiful and instantly gave me the 
impression of "wow, this is really professional!". I don't know if I am ready 
to like the license, or not. It is also supporting and pushing for further 
support of open format standards with the .XML etc. I feel it both worthy and 
a first to go toe-to-toe with M$muck's Word/Excel products. Don't get too 
excited about starting it fast. On my 450pIII/384MB, it takes Star 5.2 16 
seconds from Icon click to working GUI. It took BTW 6-12 seconds from Icon 
click to working GUI with Star Beta6. 

Both Star and Abiword function on this Woody box without crashing, even under 
extreme duress. I would also hope that both Koffice and Abiword will add full 
support for the Star XML format. This would make it very possible to offer 
real open standards for all the workerbees who have to exchange documents 
from platform to platform.

Go for all of them and enjoy the experience. They all rock, and they are all 
growing up so fast :)

kmail address book

2001-10-22 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Greetz,

Have another computer that showed up here. It's running unstable with latest 
kde offerings including kmail. I had carefully saved the old .kde from the 
stable potato install. I copied over the addressbook file into kmail, and 
didn't have any addresses in it.

So, I clicked open the address book, and it will kindly IMPORT addresses etc. 
So, I attempted to import the address book entries to no avial. Clicking on 
the help/contents reveals a yet to be written help for it :)

So, question is, has anyone imported kmail address book from 2.1.2 potato kde 
to latest unstable kde? Sure would like to NOT retype them again.

tnx so much

Greetz Sunny,

I'm a reforming windoz user too. To your topic. I have noticed that 
staroffice does what you want. it however, isn't gpl'd if that is a concern 
(and IMO should be) to you.

Kword/kedit etc all behave more unixy. I've grown used to and expect it. I 
find that now, on windoz, it's a real pain to highlight, then do a copy/cut 
function to get stuff into the clipboard. Guess I used to be yin and now I'm 
yan. :)

woody - bug came w/upgrade anyway - no X

2001-10-16 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Greetz,

I did apt-update/upgrade and was unpleasantly surprised to see x was now 
failing to start. Two oops found locally:

had to change exec "$REALSTARTUP" to: exec $REALSTARTUP in the file:
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start

Next I found an error on my mouse going from PS/2 to ImPS/2. I don't have a 
wheel here. 

The first I couldn't control but the second I believe was my mistake on going 
through several of the configurations during the upgrade phase. Just an FYI 
to others who upgrade woody's.

BTW, why is it the first bug made it's way into Woody? Seems like a major bug 
to live through the transition from unstable to testing.

I also have had problems with konqueror loading up and puking. The problem 
here was loading a webpage I had locally with 7-10 jpg pix inserted into the 
page. Konq started to load and basically locked up the box. Like you, it 
would free for seconds and I could usually escape back to console and kill x 
from there. It still happens.

Konq will also hog resources on basic pages like http://lwn.net, I noted this 
when I noticed my setiathome client drop to less then 4% cpu. At one point, I 
ended up killing x and restarting to free up cpu usage.

I can smirf with opera and it is better. Yet this seems to be irregular. I 
can't reproduce these results often.

I'm now running woody, and I guess I'll wait and see what 2.2.1 will bring 
here.

Greetz,

--quote--
KMail 1.0.x, 1.1 billionth second problems. KMail users take note: versions 
prior to 1.0.29.x of this email package will stop working and cause mail 
folder corruptions on September 9th! Users of version 1.0.29.x will only lose 
functionality, but no folders will be damaged. The problem stems from 
improper handling of the billionth second of Unix time, which started

thread reading in kmail - howto?

2001-05-24 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

   Hello,

I really like being able to thread messages on lists, but reading through 
them is next to impossible. I just finished re-reading the help files but I 
don't see any way to read the mail without jumping wildly through out read 
and unread messages.

What I would like to do is have my mail sorted by date, then by threads. Now, 
the first thread that I come to is ok, the next will jump somewhere deep into 
un-read territory. Finally the next may or may not take me to the next 
thread. So my next unread message is lost in the depths of unread mails, 
instead of back to the top to continue reading in a linear date sorted 
fashion. Other mailers do this?

Any help on reading mails with threading enabled would be much appreciated. 
I'm obviously missing the finer points of this code.

arts(d) and near crashes

2001-05-07 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Hello,

I wanted to share my experience with system performance. I have been seeing 
performance issues with various apps under KDE2. Seems like it always is 
involved with arts(d). I've finally reached the point where I am not starting 
the demon on startup and will live without sound events.

I want to say that my system goes into a tail spin of swappage, yet I'm 
completely unconvinced that it's a memory issue. My mouse will move but out 
of sync with the pointer (so it's useless) and the keyboard is still there, 
but will not work to provide a 3 fingered salute.

I was able to get to my root console once and issue init 1 which allowed me 
to keep my uptime (just over 40 days). This lock up was after I attempted to 
print a document from StarOffice5.2 and I had xmms running with the arts 
pluggin. It took nearly 15 minutes of attempting to leave x to get back to 
the console.

The second and third quirks were after I attempted to use noatun to play an 
ogg formated speech from RMS. During these events, my keyboard would no 
longer function. The first time, I stayed for about 20 minutes but wasn't 
getting out of x and couldn't kill x. I used the reset button and started 
into 45 minutes of e2fsck'ing which took two shots (but it lived!). The 
second time I was able to use my other box to ssh in and become root long 
enough to do a shutdown -r now. It took 27 minutes to boot after I issued the 
command, but the kernel didn't give up!

I recall some others were having major issues with noatun and here it has 
never played nice but did play. 

System is stable potato with kde2.1.2. A 450pIII with 128MB Dimms.

I'm not sure why kde went with the arts concept yet, but I'll browse the site 
and see if known arts(d) issues are present. I wanted to drop the list a note 
explaining at least my experience here. Now I have to seek out an ogg player 
:)

Re: TO ALL: Long application startup time

2001-04-30 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Hi,

How about not using kde and just using something lite like blackbox or fvwm 
and *then* fire up kmail there? I know kmail had/has issues with attachments 
etc from any other app then kde, but I'm sure these issues will be addressed 
sooner or later.

kde here starts fairly pain free. I kill kdm as soon as it starts (it's 
annoying) and log in as normal at my first console, then start another app in 
console 5 and log into console 11 (which starts x on 12). Start up is about 
10-20 seconds after latest release for potato. I keep it simple, and have a 
root part and swap part on hda.

fwiw.

   Yup,

It won't even load it here - locks up the poor old konq in a hurry. I 
attempted a load of nutscrap, and it locked it up too! Opera however *did* 
render very nice results of the page.

Funny, the mainboards on the front page all have model numbers that are also

Yup, I was thrilled when I found the threading settings. I also attempted to

kmail on it already. It's really going to be great if they can fix it and 
keep it in a more linear mode to cycle down threads then back to where it

Re: lockup on soft reset

2001-04-08 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

   Hi Derek,

I really wonder if your system truly *is* locked up or if a proc has just 
locked and refuses to let go. Had a guy convinced his box was locking at boot 
after he installed a nic - was resetting it etc.. I asked him to just let it 
sit and amazingly, after 2 minutes, it let loose and we found we had a simple 
domain problem that held up the boot for 2 minutes.

Just for kicks, why don't you dis-able the arts sound. Open the control 
center, click on sound, then click on sound server - here uncheck the "start 
arts sound server" on the general tab and see what you get next time you 
start kde.

Hi David,

Tnx for the post/reply.. Sorry but I don't have wwwoffle installed here.

double downloads some pictures and not others..

konqeror bugs of note *stable*

2001-04-05 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Ivan,

Have found the following bugs still present in konq:

SSL support not functioning
https://money.bankamerica.com/cgi-bin/cob/1YlXjtbiPDfjNjqfCRowEQO5v8uU0rS_W8Zkryv918403/2/bofa/ibd/COB/presentation/GotoLobby

This is a secure bank account site not accessible via konq, but nutscrape 
does fine.  (This, of course uses password control)

Double downloads are again required to save any currently rendered 
images, 
ie. if you decide to save a picture off a webpage it slowly re-downloads the 
entire image to save it.

Did the latest updates at 5 pm 4/5/2001 PST.

Re: At a loss with kppp

Hello,

Since you are using debian, you still may wish to give pppconfig a shot. I am 
using now for my machine and use the 'demand dialing'. All I do is run pon 
after I boot up the box. This sets up pppd to automatically log onto my ISP 
whenever I need outside routing. It hangs up the line after a set period of 
time that you set up during the pppconfig for your account.

I attempted to use kppp on kde 2.0.. It would sometimes work and sometimes 
not. Since I couldn't trace it down I just used debians built in pon/poff.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth.

Re: KDE: Speed issues

2001-03-21 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

   Hanno,

That is pretty interesting post. I have never even looking into building my 
own kde. I think tho, that it could be a pretty kewl option for debianers. 
Have a really nice readme that really tells what all the options do and how 
to do it the 'debian way' .. Really sounds quite interesting.

In fact, how about something like a script the 'autobuild' kde per platfrom? 
One would download the source and run the script and bingo, a brand new 
locally built for your particular box product! I'll put it on my 'roundtoit' 
list. :)

Re: anyone having problems with noatun?

2001-03-20 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

   Hiya Tim,

I just tested it here. First, noatun DOES run now, which it didn't 2 upgrades 
ago :)

I fired up top and then fired up the player. mp3's are using about 12% and 
mpg files about 30% - which is pretty damned good considering. It doesn't 
appear to support avi files.

Box here is a potato wid 2.2.17 and latest from Ivan for kde. Box is a 
450pIII with 128mb.

Re: Starting programs from menu doesn't always work

I also see problems like this. Latest is that the sound mixer goes away. 
Normally it is docked on the taskbar but now it will disappear and it is not 
possible to restart it - I must exit/restart kde.

I also noted that kmail has a few hickups. I know there was unread mail in

Re: KMail under BlackBox

   Hey,

This is a problem. I would file a bug report if it hasn't already been filed.

As a work around (faster then killing bb and starting kde), use 
mpack/munpack.  Just save the email in a temp directory, then in an xterm, 
'munpack filename'.. Tada, there is your attachment(s) cleanly seperated from
the email. Save the whole message, not the attachment.

It is interesting. I just had konq open on another page. I backspaced out the

Re: noatun crashes?

It's hard to say Trevor. It ran on kde 2.01, died on 2.1beta, came
back to life on 2.1b2 and on 2.1!  I just kinda shrugged and decided
it didn't matter too much. I'm still dealing with the arts mega delay
syndrome. I use xmms and it's happy with the xmmsarts pluggin,
but I see movement on the display and finally sound follows between
2 to 3 seconds... If I use the esound or OSS pluggin, it is real time..
I think more developement will resolve this too. :)

Good luck on your upgrade - hope it comes together well for you.

kdeinit

2001-02-11 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Good morning,

I woke up to find my box still puring along as I'd left it yesterday,
with one exception-kdeinit. The reason I noticed it was my [EMAIL PROTECTED]
client was only using 2-3% of my cpu and it normally uses 95-99%
when I am not using the cpu! Top showed two running kdeinit, each taking
49-50% of the cpu = ~100%! Why would kdeinit get so wild and why two
instances of it? I closed all apps on kde and it didn't effect cpu usage.
Finally I exited (nicely) kde and the stats returned to normal... Any 
ideas?

Thank you, have a great weekend

Re: Bash Prompts???

2001-02-08 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

   Hello Robert,

I will make no warranty of this, but ...  I use the Konsole virtual
terminal and really enjoy it's power. I love that I can open one term,
and have 100 more in the same window - how cool can it get! What I did to
get the things to read my settings was: konsole %i %m -caption "%c" --ls
Notice the '--ls' on the end. How I did it, was to right click on my konsole
icon on the taskbar and then clicked on the Execute tab. See if that makes
it mo-better for you. BTW, Konsole also supports the 'transparent konsole'
option, so it will display your desktop thru the vt :) It's really the
little things 

My user prompt:

Re: Problems with pdf files

2001-02-04 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Brian,

Is it possible to download the pdf file you need (right click in
netscape, save link as)? If so, save it and use acroreader to read
it by starting acroread and open the file that way.

Most all of my netscape pluggin's are broken here too. I don't know
why, but short of a complete re-install of netscape . . .

I have attempted to use the kde file associations too, and most of the
time, this is just broken in the 2.1beta_x (running potato here).

I am hoping that the final kde will fix these bugs.

taskbar madness

2001-02-04 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

Hello,

I have lost my task bar on the launch menu, and the window list button. 
I was just launching a program off the launch bar and whoosh, it was
gone. . .  

So trying to bring it back is fruitless. Whatever bug just bit the bar, the
settings don't seem to compensate for. As far as I can tell, the window list
button is supposed to be there, but it clearly isn't. 

Now it's impossible to know what is running on the desktop... 

How can I get it back and what is the thing called? And why did it leave
in the first place!?...

thanks

Re: Kmail won't send?

2001-02-01 Thread Jaye Inabnit ke6sls

John,

No bother. BTW, some ISP's are switching to POP3 before SMTP authintication.
This is a non-standardized way to help reduce spamming. Have seen several
posts by irritated people regarding this implementation... So, make sure
you CHECK mail before trying to send mail. Hope your ISP figures out the
problems too.

John,

This doesn't sound like a code issue with kmail at all. You just need
to get your settings corrected. Would be happy to help if you wish to
send me private mail. No need to clutter this list. It's pretty simple
to do, and I suppose pretty simple to get confused too :) Been there.

Re: licq and evil things happened

Hello,

I think we might be one small step closer to repairing kde on my friends box.
When attempting to start kde, he gets following errors:

Dir=~ pts/0$ startkde
ksplash: error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.2: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
kdeinit: error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.2: cannot open shared

knotify: error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.2: cannot open shared

kmserver: error in loading shared libraries: libqt.so.2: cannot open shared

Would I need to RE-install qt2.x to get it working correctly?
