I forgot that paypal puts a limit on how much you can recieve into an account each month unless you upgrade, the cap being $100. Well, due to the generousness of the people on this list, we are really close to that limit (I think we're at $90). That means I just had to upgrade to a premier account, which also means paypal starts dinging 2.9% + $.30 per transaction. So out of $100, we lose $3.20 :-( Just thought I would mention this so that if anyone else had a better solution (i.e., fee-less online accounting) we could use that instead.

Re: KDE 2.2.1 Dependencies
Progeny is based on Woody...therefore the new KDE will install properly perhaps with a few minor updates. Potato, could be a problem, although perhaps not. On 21-Sep-2001 Andy Zbikowski (Zibby) wrote: 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.

Re: PLESE help me with my kppp connection PLEASE
You need to put noauth (without the quotes) into your: /etc/ppp/peers/provider file. By default the /etc/ppp/options file has options set to require authorization. It could be a hugh security hole for many systems to ship with ppp allowing any caller to log into your system. Programs that set up your ppp/chat dialup configuration should place the noauth option into the provider file (provider is the default name but other names are possible). DO NOT change the entry in your /etc/ppp/options files as then your dial up ability will break anytime that pppd is upgraded. This is really not a KDE issue unless your dial up was configured using KDE tools and the tool failed to configure properly.

Strange delays - new to this Please Help! Thanks
Hi All, Sorry about the multiple To: but I'm new to this and I don't know what category this falls into: My PC is running KDE2 and I put a program called cnet (network layer simulator) which requires tcl/tk to run it's windows on and for some reason the program takes 3 minutes before the windows are displayed. When I run this at Uni it is instant. Also, I just tried to set up my 56K modem and I ran a program called ppp-up and followed to instructions to the tee. For some reason once I ran this program, my modem connected but Netscape didn't seem to think so. Ever since this My KDE has thrown its toys. It now hangs on every window open (between 30secs - 1min). When my PC boots up it hangs for about a minute on the line: Starting system log daemon : syslogd and then also for about another minute when loading the window manager. It now takes aboout 5-7 minutes for KDE to load up. Please can someone help me with these problems. Thanks heaps Todd _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Re: KDE 2.2.1 Dependencies
Actually, Progeny is based on Potato, with quite a bit of testing and a few new packages thrown in. Upgrading Progeny to KDE2.2 would be only slightly easier that upgrading Potato. I've had a look at what Progeny wants to upgrade to install KDE2.2 and I won't try it yet. I'm still waiting for the freeze to try KDE2.2. If you are that adventurous to try KDE2.2 then just upgrade to woody now and give it a go. Lots of people on this list seem to like it. I'm just not that brave. Cheers, John Gay
Re: Strange delays - new to this Please Help! Thanks
Hi, Todd! You should first mail to debian-user for questions like this. d-anounce is definitely the wrong place. I left the other list adresses in for this mail, so that people know that there was an answer to your request. When you reply, please consider to remove some more. I can only guess that you hosed your network setup. Although networking is well structured, it may well look confusing to a newbie at first. The reason for most delays are network packets send to unknown or unreachable hosts. Timeouts then are the only indication for the local host that sth. is wrong and they may take a while (you wouldn't want to loose your packets to mars because of timeouts). The most important network inside your linux box is the unix network. Everything else is for most installations TCP/IP networking. Some files in the /etc directory (where all the configuration for your machine is stored) store the basic networking configuration: hosts - your local 'DNS'. Hostnames to IP-Numbers table. Only used when host.conf - contains 'order host,...', see? The file resolv.conf - at last stores adresses of name servers. If any of your programs calls for a host by its name, this has to be translated (looked up) into the corresponding IP number, as the network itself doesn't know anything about names. If this lookup process is misconfigured, the resulting timeouts make up already for quite a delay. Now all your packets have to find their way through the network. This is known as 'routing'. See the 'route' and 'ping' commands. Most networking commands have an option like '-n', that makes them output (N)umbers instead of names. Trying one and the same command that hangs without -n once again with -n and it works, shows you clearly that you have a problem looking up names. KDE is communicating a lot, fix your network and retry. You found out that networking is very important these days. Try to read up on how this is handled with linux and the tools. You won't have to install obscure tools then, to try to make it, hm, work, as it did under this other non-free os ... There are a lot of good readings on the internet. For a fine catalog with well defined topics you might want to look at 'dmoz.org'. This one is FREE! Have fun! martin
