Installing KDE2 from CD
I have a CD from Linux Emporium (in the UK), which says it is taken from the kde ftp site. It has a Debian folder with packages for potato/i386 binary in /cdrom/Debian/dists/potato/i386-binary However I don't think that this is a proper path. Should there be a main/non-free/contrib in there somewhere? Also it doesn't have a Packages file. When I do dpkg -i libqt-22_2 (something like that) it complains that it depends on libmng (Graphics?) However this is not in the folder. The libmng I can get from Debian ftp depends on a newer version of libc6 is it ok to use this? There is also a source folder which has source for a libmng package. Could I use this or does a package on the Debian CDs(1-3) provide it anyway? My main problem is getting dselect to find this directory. Is there a way I can do this manually? If not, is there an order that I should install the KDE packages manually? Thanks for any help (yes I am new to Debian. But I have been using Slackware for two and a half years so I do have quite good technical ability.) Richard Hunt _ Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com

Re: libssl.so.0 and libcrypto.so.0 missing
fyi..this will also affect the ssh packages as well as probably all the other packages I rebuilt that link to ssl. If you don't have libssl09 installed it will fail...and probably do strange things if you do have it installed. I'm building new packages as I type this and will have them uploaded later today. adding in the links will solve the problem for now...but the correct fix is installing the yet to be build/uploaded packages. :) ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0 ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 I apologize for this again.

Hi, for those of you using anything out of the "optional" section that uses ssl (fetchmail, apache-ssl, libmodapachessl, links-ssl, lynx-ssl, ssh, telnet-ssl, sftp, etc..) the fixed packages are uploading right now.

Re: Installing KDE2 from CD
I wouldn't trust any CD version of KDE Debian because it is bound to be dated. First, KDE2 itself is changing as it moves rapidly to the 2.0.1 bug-fixed release of 2.0.0. Second, through Ivan's incredible labors, the Debian packaging is being improved all the time as well. So without web access you would be cooked, but I am assuming from now on you do have access to the web. Make sure you are using the apt method for dselect. If you are using woody=unstable, then the Debian packages for KDE2 are built right in. But woody is still getting broken from time to time. If you use potato=stable like most of us, then here is the recipe. The other day Ivan gave the new line to put into /etc/apt/sources.list which will allow you to obtain KDE2 for potato. I will repeat it again here because you may have missed it. deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato main qt1apps optional crypto Ivan's notes on the various sections: main = kde 2 + kde2 based apps qt1apps = qt1 based apps and kde 1.1.2 crypto = kdebase-crypto and kdelibs-crypto ... + libssl096 (pretty much it) optional = updated packages (from woody) such as apache and any ssl based app (all compiled against libssl096). Not necessary (or at least shouldn't be..but not tested) Note the potato packages are just settling down from a major change so everything might not work right away (see recent messages to this list). For this reason I haven't updated myself recently, but I probably will shortly because there have been some positive reports about using the above line in sources.list.

KDE2 on potato installation problems ...
I got some problems when trying to install KDE 2 on potato, any help will be appreciated : I build a mirror of tdyc archives with rsync from sunsite.tut.fi::debian-kde/pub/ My apt sources.list are : deb file:/lpro/debian-mirror/debian potato main contrib non-free deb file:/lpro/debian-mirror/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free deb file:/lpro/debian-mirror/helixcode woody main deb file:/lpro/debian-mirror/tdyc potato main crypto optional qt1apps and when I try to do apt-get install task-kde, I get : Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: task-kde: Depends: libqt2.2 but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdelibs3 but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdebase (>= 4:2.0-final-13) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdebase-libs (>= 4:2.0-final-13) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libkonq3 (>= 4:2.0-final-13) but it is not going to be installed Depends: konqueror (>= 4:2.0-final-13) but it is not going to be installed Depends: konsole (>= 4:2.0-final-13) but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-kdegraphics but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-kdeutils but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-koffice but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-kdepim but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-kdegames but it is not going to be installed Depends: task-kdetoys but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Did I miss something ? -- -- Bruno

KDM icon corruption
The icon that KDE displays on my logon screen is currupted. It looks like random data. If I switch it to display the clock, that looks fine. Changing the icon does nothing. Any ideas what I'm missing? John

I "fixed" mine by finding where the image file is with "dpkg -L kdm", and then selecting that file with the "browse" button (or maybe I hand edited an config file... can't remember).

Selecting open gives the following error, There appears to be a misconfiguration. You have associated konqueror with text/html, but it can't handle this file type.

Not sure if this is intentional or not. I have wp8 installed on my home machine. The executable lives in /opt/wp8bin/xwp (or somewhere like that, I'm at work now). Kde knew that wp documents belonged to wp, but it didn't know where the executable was. Adding it with the browser seemed to work, but wp would not start by clicking on a document. I had to put a shell wrapper in /usr/local/bin. Something like: #!/bin/sh /opt/wp8bin/xwp "$@" (susbstitute the correct directory, of course) Telling kde to use "xwp" for wp documents then allowed you to open them by clicking on them. Seems like an exe *has* to be on the path. Where is the file to edit to change $PATH ??? Thanks! -Dale -- Dale P. Smith Altus Technologies Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 440-746-9000 x309
