Re: xdmcp with kdm
How to do xdmcp with kdm ? exactly as with xdm. read the xdm man page. May be it's not possible. it is. i'm wondering, how many people will still ask these questions. maybe, this should be put into the faq of this list. best regards -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

Re: xdmcp with kdm
AFAIK kdm uses by default /etc/X11/xdm directory for config files. no, under debian it's /etc/X11/kdm. kdm has exactly same configs as xdm. actually, it supports more. :-) but this is irrelevant at this point ... greetings -- Hi!

on upgrading to testing
James D. Freels writes: 1) bite the bullet and upgrade to 'testing' and install the kde 2.1 packages that have anti-aliasing capability compiled in, or I came to the belief one debian release ago that the best place to be was as close as possible to the majority of the developers. This explains the following: # cat /etc/debian_version testing/unstable # I really would rather go with option 1. My only concern is the stability, etc. What has been the experience of those who are now running 'testing' ?? There have been some issues. Bugs crop up. I can't remember the last bug which actually caused me grief. I think it must have been the libfreetype6 one for AA fonts in KDE. But I have been running non-AA KDE for months now. I am currently having a problem with xlibs not getting installed, but it isn't hosing my system. I think (hope?) that the days of broken bash, and no more /dev are over. I will only use Debian unstable from now on. Any other Debian becomes more and more unmaintained as time passes. I can't deal with that. This is my work laptop, and even though it _must_ work all the time, I am quite fine with testing/unstable. rob

pilot/visor integration with kde
Having just recieved a Handspring Visor for graduation, I was of course eager to try it out with linux :-) However, there seems to be a slight derth of information on how to integrate a palm-like device with KDE. Most sections of the manual that have to do with syncing a visor with [korganizer|abbrowser|kab] have the ever popular This Section Isn't Here Yet. So, what is your collective experience with the different apps out there? KPilot seems to be buggy, in that it always trys to start up two copies, and will only sync once before I have to close it and start it up again. That also limits it usefullness in transfering programs/ebooks over to the visor. Oh, and if I leave kpilot-daemon running in the background, it continually respawns (will never shut down the window). However, it has conduits to korganizer for the to-do list and the appointments. j-pilot seems to be much more stable and featureful, however, it's a gtk app (looks ugly), doesn't have conduits to korganizer or anyother kde app for that matter, and has it's own set of issues. I'd really hate to have to use pilot-xfer for stuff that should be easy click-install. Whew. Didn't mean for that to turn into a rant, and I'm impressed with how far along this stuff has come already. However (you saw that coming, didn't you?) does anyone have experience with all of these issues, and if so, can you point me to a place where I can get an app that (hopefully, doesn't need to do all of this): 1. Runs in the background and monitors for me pushing the hotsync button 2. Has conduits to korganizer and abbrowser or kab (which is better supported?) 3. Isn't crash happy 4. Is a kde app 5. Makes it really easy to install new stuff And while this isn't the appropriate forum, has anyone heard tale of adding functionality in konqueror to recognize .prb and .prc files, and load them automatically after being clicked (with confirmation, of course)? It would take a kpart's thingamajig from kpilot, but should be doable. If there has already been noise about that, I will wait patiently, otherwise I'll file a wishlist bug. Thanks for any ideas/insight you have. If this is too off-topic for debian-kde, please reply to me off-list. Thank you! D.A.Bishop P.S. I'm running sid, if that affects my options for programs. Thanks again.

Runs in the background and monitors for me pushing the hotsync button kpilot will run in the background and listen for the hotsync button, but if you're using USB, when the module unloads, the deamon looses contact. I've got kpilot working this way for my daughter Palm Pro with a serial cradle. I don't believe that it can work with USB. You will need to use a serial cradle for your visor if you want kpilot to work in this mode. I use jpilot for my Visor because it DOES reconise teh USB port that comes and goes. I jsut need to press the hotsync button and then sync on jpilot. 2. Has conduits to korganizer and abbrowser or kab (which is better supported?) Don't know much about setting up conduits, sorry. 3. Isn't crash happy I've never seen jpilot crash, but I've only used it for a few weeks. As for kpilot, I only just set it up for my daughter last night, so I have little experience with it. 4. Is a kde app 5. Makes it really easy to install new stuff jpilot has a fairly easy install tool built-in. It works for me.

The chooser works when you issue an indirect query: X -indirect hostname :1 You also need to modify /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or /etc/X11/kdm/Xaccess (depending on the dist.) to allow indirect and direct queries and enable the chooser.

Setting this to false will allow hosts to connect to any display, other than :0. MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication is disabled. Broadcasts are sent out on the network when the X Display Manager is loaded. In turn, each host contains a dynamic list of all available hosts. An indirect query to ANY host allowing indirect queries, even localhost, will display all currently available X clients in the chooser. The Xservers config file only starts local X servers and is not used for remote client connections. Scott

stupid, but I have to ask it - how to start it up once installed
Okay, by going to archives for this list I found the clues on how to run the automated kde install on a fresh potato with no desktop manager set up yet. Really impressed by how smoothly that ran compared to trying to use rpms on Red Hat. (Suggestion: put a short mention of how to invoke the installation in the debian.kde.net Webpages?) Yeah, so then I do a startx and I've got a kde terminal on my otherwise grey screen rather than the default rxvt or whatever it was after getting XFree up. Umm, what's the totally obvious thing to do (if I'd ever set up Debian before) to have the system bring up the full kde screen? (Suggestion: put a short mention of this on the Webpages too and you'll about have the newbie angle covered - providing the newbie has gotten past similar bits of mystery in the initial potato install.) \/\/ I-I I T Blauvelt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
