Re: preset bookmarks
So maybe something like this is the way to go. Add something like this to /etc/kde2/kde2.sh konq_dir=$kdehome/share/apps/konqueror if [ ! -d $konq_dir ]; then mkdir -p $konq_dir cp /etc/kde2/bookmarks.xml $konp_dir/ fi Sorry to followup myself, but the '! -d' check is too simple. One has to check that $kdehome/share/apps/kfm/bookmark/ is empty and, if bookmark.xml exists, that it's equal to '!DOCTYPE xbel xbel/' before one copies a default bookmarks.xml. what happens if $kdehome/share/apps/kfm/bookmark/ isn't empty and $kdehome/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml is created by the kde2 script? hmm...guess I should just go see... :) -- Ivan E.

Hi Ivan, $kdehome/share/apps/kfm/bookmark/ tree was the old bookmark stuff with *.desktop and/or *.kdelnk (?). If bookmarks.xml does not exist a new one is generated from them. So if you copy a default bookmarks.xml file and someone that used KDE 2.1 and start KDE 2.0 for the first time, he/she only sees 'your' bookmarks but not his/her old bookmarks.

ISDN Calling-Monitor-C/S
Is there any ISDN Calling Monitor available? I'm looking for a client-server network solution. the server should hold a complete list of incomming and outgoing calls (or just manage this existing one from I4L) and a client should be able to access it.

Forking processes?
Hi all, I'm running KDE 2.1.1 debs on a potato (2.2.3) machine. What can I do to stop the following behavior: Whenever I start a program with the GUI (and not from bash) I get two, seldom even three icons on the external taskbar that indicate that the app is loading, with I presume as many instances of the program starting. One of the two or three survives and becomse the program, the others processes die. I find it annoying and it takes more time for programs to become available for use at startup. Someone suggested to me it could have something to do with old instances of the .DCOPserver_debian not being deleted, and often I find a two or three day old symlink of that name beside the present .DCOPserver. But deleting this file does not help either. Is there any solution to this? Best reagrds, -- Andreas

stable - testing kde problems
I just upgraded my potato box to testing and am having problems getting kde set up. I noticed there is no task-kde in testing (correct?). So I manually picked the kde debs with dselect. I got kdm running fine, but when I try to login via kdm, the machine hangs for a few seconds and then dumps me back to kdm. I can however get kdm to lauch blackbox without problems though. What am I missing/doing wrong? FYI: This was inspired by the upgrade to a geforce2 mx video card. Any relation? -stephen
kdemultimedia and MMX
I just stumbled on this.. It appears that kdemultimedia enables MMX only if binutils is version 2.10. So if you are using version 2.11, MMX instructions does not get enabled it appears like. I have not figured out if this symbol actually enables MMX instructions. The erroroneous version test is in configure.in.in -- Karolina
Re: kdm crashes X after 5 restarts
moin, After trying kdm I recognized following behaviour : After 5 logouts (or 5 restart) with kdm, the X server stops, but the kdm daemon is still running. syslog says : kdm [1234] : Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) this is not a bug, but a feature. if you restart the display 5 times in a row with less than two minutes between consecutive restarts, kdm assumes that something is wrong and stops the display. you may adjust the StartInterval and StartAttempts settings. hmmm ... the used formula is a bit weird indeed. i'm thinking about something with fewer side effects (concrete ideas are welcome). btw, the daemon is not dead after it stops the display. you may wake up all dead displays by sending a HUP to the daemon. greetings -- Hi!

kbuildsycoca freeze linux
(cross-posted from kde mailing list) Hi, if I log into kde 2.1.2, the linux (woody update to 7/4) will start thrashing in the initialing system service session. I discover that kbuildsycoca --incremental eats all cpu and memory resources. My temp solution is to kill it directly, so I don't have to wait 10 minutes to login into KDE. (yccheng)~$ kbuildsycoca -v Qt: 2.3.0 KDE: 2.1.2 KBuildSycoca: 1.0 Help me please!
