man pages (kdebase/kioslave/help/kbuildsycoca.refentry.docbook

[Achim Bohnet]

Hi Lauri,

I just saw your commit of a test man page in Docbook XML at

  http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-cvs&m=98892880216443&w=2

Some time ago Debian package maintainers started to create
manual pages for KDE applications in *roff format.

Could you tell debian-kde@lists.debian.org your plans about
man pages so duplicate work can be prevented?

Thx,
Achim

experimental? where's that? I am a bit of newbie, so sorry if this is a dumb 
question.

2.2 pacakges update

[Ivan E. Moore II]

This is a heads up.  Now that X4.0.3 is in sid and the new QT will be following
shortly (it's in incoming but has new components) all KDE 2.2 packages will
be uploaded to experimental instead of people.d.o...  I've already started
the uploads so the 20010503 snapshots will show up in the next couple days
for people to grab and test if you want.

Again..remember these are CVS snapshots and could be considered not even
alphaware so dont' complain if it doesn't work. :)

reading gzipped files on the fly (partly solved)

[Armin Joellenbeck]

Hello,

I have asked some time ago, how can I read gzipped files on the fly
with konqueror.

I have solved the problem by using the following shell script (call it
kgz) for the mime type application/x-gzip:

   #!/bin/bash

   DATE=`date +%s`
   BASE=`basename $1`
   TARGET=/tmp/$BASE.$DATE

   gunzip -c $1 > $TARGET

   kfmclient exec $TARGET


The disadvantage clearly is the resulting garbage in the /tmp
directory. Not a real problem thanks to tmpreaper. Any comments are
welcome.

KDE < 2.2 scans /etc/printcap.  AFAIR cups 1.1.4 generates a /etc/printcap.cups
(This changed several times) Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and change the
printcap file name.  Every newly started Application should find now your
printer.

No idea. We only have network printers.  Try to ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

KDE and cups

[Nikolaus Regnat]

I just installed cups 1.1.4 and kups (KDE 2.1.1) and wondered why my
configured printer (set up as system default) doesn´t show up in any
printing dialog (e.g. Konqueror, Advanced Editor). Can anyone help me
out with this problem?

Another problem I had with cups is that I needed to restart cups
several times (when I installed my printer) because lpinfo -v showed
sometimes only http and file or serial and not parallel and ipp as
devices. What´s wrong with cups (or am I just to dumb to use it)?

Re: Koffice bug - still open?

[John Gay]

Thanx for the tip. I used the force option and got koffice to submit and
install. I'm still looking forward to seeing it work seamlessly but, as you
said, debian-kde is *not* stable, it just acts that way!

Keep up the good work Ben, Ivan and everyone else!

Cheers,

 John Gay
