Re: 2.2.1
So: I think it's time for a reward. I also think several people here would agree with me. And I ALSO think we can all spare $10 or something for a good cause. ;) So, tell us what you would like, a CD burner, new harddisk, 21 TFT flat screen (ok, you'll need a lot of fans for that ;) and I'll try to coordinate the rest. (If someone who lives geographically nearer to you wants to take over it's fine with me and probably easier, though. I've done this before but never internationally ...) It's a great idea to appreciate the great work of a great man!!! Thanx Ivan for your packages, it's worth even more. And Jens: you can count on me... -- Wenn auch die Sicherheit vor den Menschen bis zu einem gewissen Grade eintritt durch eine bestimmte Macht, Störungen zu beseitigen, und durch Reichtum, so entspringt doch die reinste Sicherheit aus der Ruhe und dem Rückzug aus der Masse.

Trying to circle in on bug, assistance needed
A few weeks ago, I reported bug #108698 against konqueror, which has been tagged unreproducible by Ivan. I have since waited for 2.2.1 to be released, hoping that they would silently fix it. Apparently they didn't, though - so since my system seems to be the only one where the problem occurs, I decided to try and find the problem myself, which is as follows: HTML preview in general seems to be broken. When I have it enabled and look at a directory containing a couple of HTML files, CPU load goes up to 100% for a 1-2 minutes, and X completely freezes. For brief period each two minutes or so, X wakes up again, giving me the chance to press the back button to get out of the directory in question again. If I don't X will freeze again for 1-2 Minutes. Running it for a couple of hours overnight will finally display all the HTML previews. The bug report only mentions viewing the contents of .tar.gz's, however currently, using konqueror 2.2.1 from unstable (on an otherwise woody system) that happens with normal directories also. I have checked bugs.kde.org to see if such a problem had been already reported, but I couldn't find any mention of it. Does anyone here have the same problem, or any suggestions by what it could be caused? thanks for your help! Volker -- Don't try to outweird me, three-eyes.

Re: 2.2.1
A) when will 2.2 be in Testing ? (Soo, looking forward to this) It's already there. At least on the mirror that I use. B) Will 2.2.1 make it into woody before the release ? (Beg beg beg.. or do we have to bribe you some more ? :) ) Ditto. Ciao, Gordon

Re: KDE 2.2.1 Dependencies
There's no way you will be able to install Woody or Sid KDE packages on Potato. I even tried compiling the new packages on my Progeny machine and they wouldn't build. In the short run, it seems the best way to get 2.2.1 on your Potato or Progeny systems is to build from source. It's actually not that bad once you have all the build dependiencies installed. Just setenv KDEDIR /usr/local/kde-2.2.1 (csh) and add /usr/local/kde2.2.1/bin to your path. So far my build notes look like this: kdelibs: ./configure --disable-cups cups support doesn't like to build agnist the cups libs in Progeny. Things work fine without. kdebase: ./configure --without-gl Some GL stuff doesn't want to build. No big loss, most machines I'm bouilding this for have POS video anyway. Andrew S.

smb ioslave accents
Hello everybody ! I have a problem with the smb ioslave : I can browse OK. The accents are printed correctly. but. when I try to open a file or a directory with an accent in it name, konqueror tells me that the file or directory doesn't exist.. The problem doesn't come from the server, because I can open these files / go in these directories without problem on others computers (running on Windows 9x) Installed packages (but this problem has always been happening..) : ii smbclient 2.2.1a-10 ii samba-common 2.2.1a-10 and all the kde packages are 2.2.1-1 If someone can help me. Thanks a lot

The diagnostics is: --- Not very helpful if you ask me, now how to I repair the damage I have done ? I would like to be able to change wallpaper, set my energy setting and much more...
