kde startup problem
Upon using kdm to start up kde, I get the blue screen which shows me each service starting up in order, and after the startup sound plays, I get a grey screen and a mouse cursor. That is all that appears. It is rather amazing. I kill kdm, log in, and run startx. Due to my . files, I get X up, but running twm. Then I move to one of the base xterms, 'killall twm' and then start up kde, with the command bash-2.04$ kde2 Was that the right thing to do? Here is where it gets interesting.

How to view gzipped HTML pages in konqueror?
How can I view gzipped HTML pages in konqueror? It's no problem in Netscape to open and view a file "index.html.gz", for example. I've played with file associations and found under "embedding" a "GZip Filter", but I can't get any useful results. And I can't find any documentation about embedding. TIA, Burkhard

I still need to figure out where to set this properly. My original question was where is KwinTV? I've got my sources.list pointing to Progeny and Ivan's kde site, but apt-get install kwintv just returns package not available? XawTV works, but it's not a great front-end and I really like to use KDE app's where possible. Cheers, John Gay

Upgraded kdm - lost locale
I upgraded my Potato to the latest kdm this weekend. Everything works fine (got the "Login failed"-thing cured) except for some reason my /etc/environment gets read but not implemented. I suspected it to be a PAM-related problem but there's nothing in /etc/security/pam_env that is not commented out. Further more, in /etc/pam.d/kde there's no env-clause. I tried to add LANG=fi_FI in xdm-config (DisplayexportList) but that don't work either. Any suggestions? TIA -- -perttu- Viivi: Wagner, etkö tiedä, ettei raha tuo onnea? Wagner: En halua onnea.

I have the same problem (with fr_FR), but it is not new. Maybe someone can explain this to me : in KDE1, all applications knew my locale settings from /etc/environment, even Gtk-based apps (Gimp in particular). But since KDE2, I can put whatever I want in /etc/environment, ~/.xinitc, ~/.xsession or ~/.Xclients, it isn't taken into account and I get non-KDE only in english. Of course if I start them from the command line in konsole, they respect my locales correctly...

invalid domain (with kmail)
So, I'm trying to send email to a domain that uses exim with kmail, and it consistenly rejects my email saying that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an invalid domain. Since this is the only email address that I have this problem with, I assume they turned on some sort of spam protection that looks at an X-header of the email to determine that (suprise, suprise!) my domain isn't "real". Well, I'm not going to change my whole hostname setup for a single email app (sorry), so I'm wondering if I can change something else. I'm using exim myself as my smtp server (localhost) so I was wondering what I have to do to make this work. Edit my exim config to "spoof" a valid domain? Edit my kmail config to do the same? Something else? I'm kinda lost here Oh, and the reason that I'm sending this to debian-kde is that I didn't ever get this problem with my previous mailer (pronto), and I'm running debian. So, that leads me to suspect it is either a kde issue, or a debian-packaging of a kde issue (like the whole authenticating proxy thing, or the internet keywork search saying invalid url). Just to clarify :-) TIA, D.A.Bishop

It can be a bit tricky to setup, but if you are running debian and just need a simple smtp relay on your machine (i.e., to use with mutt, pine, or kmail etc.) then just install ssmtp (it will replace exim). ssmtp is very easy to set up and simply relays your mail to another smtp server (eg., your isp's mail server) and it lets you (easily) forge the "From" so that the relay will not reject your mail. > So, I'm trying to send email to a domain that uses exim with kmail, and it > consistenly rejects my email saying that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an invalid > domain.

Just to clarify :-) There exists a file /etc/email-adresses which does what you want (I think). Also check out whether /etc/exim.conf is really using it. Bart

At least, that's how I took it, cuz I have both an ATi card *and* a Matrox, and I can attest to the fact that it doesn't work with the mach64, but does with the g450. YMMV, D.A.Bishop

Moore II" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-kde@lists.debian.org Ok...well my friend who's hosting kde.tdyc.com/kde.debian.net has put in his notice and is leaving the job...and thus the box has to find a new home. So this leaves a few options... the site is mirrored out to several sites now so it's not like it's a big hit to everyone..just means people will have to change their sources file and point to a mirror. So...I'm not sure exactly where I"m going to shove the box yet...I can host the files at one place..but it can't be publically accessable...I might be able to allow mirrors to hit it tho...I'm trying to research this. The other option is that one of the mirror sites would volunteer to become the master site. This would require allowing myself and Rick Cook access to the box to upload and manage the files we upload. I'm not sure how much longer the box will be around...probably at least till sometime next week. I'm working on getting the rest of my updates uploaded then I'll mirror it off to my backup site...and ISO's will also be made during that time. so the data is not getting lost...it just may be on hold. :) Ivan -- Ivan E.

audiocd ioslave
Hello, I was hoping someone could help me getting the audiocd ioslave working. Here's what I have so far... I've got a IDE CD Burner, so, I have the ide-scsi and sg modules loaded. I've got kscd working with CDDB support using this configuration. However, when I type in "audiocd:/" in konqueror, it times out. Here's my device listing in case this might help: lrwxrwxrwx1 root cdrom 9 Mar 13 22:09 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 brw-rw1 root cdrom 11, 0 Feb 17 18:50 /dev/scd0 I know the CD works using /dev/scd0 as I can mount CDs and play audio CDs using kscd. Any help is appreciated. Scott
disabling the render extension
Digging around on bugs.kde.org, I found out that the problems I'm having with my xinerama setup are due to a bug in my xserver, specifically the render extension. The (terse) reply is "disable the render extention". So. How in the heck do I do that without uninstalling the entire xfree package and compiling from source, downgrading to 3.3.6 (ick), or some other weirdness. Am I asking too much? You'd think, with the fact that only a couple drivers can do it anyways, that it would be an option that you get seperate to the base X install. So, what are my options? Besides using Enlightenment as my window manager, which, believe me, isn't working too well with kde 2.1.0 :-( TIA D.A.Bishop P.S. I *really* like the AA fonts and everything that RENDER gives me, I would just like to be able to actually use kwm more :-P

Besides using Enlightenment as my > window manager, which, believe me, isn't working too well with kde 2.1.0 :-( umm...the Render extension is just that...a extension. nobody forces you to load it...you don't have to re-install. And there are alot more than a couple drivers that can do it. Either way, it's a extra feature and far from required... options are: 1 - turn off AA support under Look & Feel / Styles 2 - turn off Render support completely by removing the line that loads it in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file 3 - open up konsole/xter/whatever first, type "export QT_XFT=0" then run xinerama Of course all of this is documented in both readmes and the documentation that comes with X and QT.

sid + 2.1 broken?
Hi all, I recently did an apt-get dist-upgrade (mainly to get the new QT 2.3-final) and kde2 is now totally non-functional, konq dies horribly, kmail is ... strange (lots of mail but most has apparently no content, though the mailbox seems fine). Removing .kde and logging in again just results in a rather blank window. I saw some mention of a libfreetype problem on the list, so I downgraded that to 2.0.1-1 - but it did not help. Ah, the joy of unstable ;-) Any thoughts? Prior to my dist-upgrade all was working beautifully, anti-aliased fonts and all. - Daniel -- ** * Daniel Franklin - Postgraduate student in Electrical Engineering * University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia * [EMAIL PROTECTED] **
