Re: KDE Multimedia Player (noatun)

I realize that I seem to have a rather personal experience in this as no other users have reported the problems I've endured. Previously, noatun would simply crash without even opening a window or telling me so much as a by your leave -- your system's fscked. Now, the skins and everything else are functioning normally. I had the same behavior with Sid 2.2.0 KDE debs that I compiled on Woody. I use Mplayer though, so it wasn't a problem. I'm glad to see it's working now though. After this next update I should be able to play with it again. I also think that the 29 other files which were updated last night may have had something to do with this. Oh well, at least my unstable system is a bit more stable. Many thanks go out to the author of such a useful program. Perhaps in the future, he could add a full screen mode such as MS Media Player has, so that users don't have to limit themselves to a 480x320 window. Thank you!
Font problem with 2.2
Could anypone please tell me which font to use? :-) Okay, here's the situation. I configured my system to display the Euro symbol. To do so I of course need a 8859-15 font. And that's where the problem starts. As a matter of fact I need the Euro symbol in just a handful of applications one being konsole. There are just 2 8859-15 fonts available unless you use anti-aliasing. I do like to way KDE looks with anti-aliasing but konsole is rendered almost useless with it. I get vertical lines every two or three letters, I get a display that is not correctly erased etc. For instance I run an ls -R and some lines still contain pixels from before the scrolling. Then I run clear and still have quite some stuff lying around. Causing a redraw by iconizing and de-iconizing the windows clears it correctly. Do I miss a configuration option? Or do I need some other fonts? One suggestion I got was to install M$ fonts, but I'm not yet willing to do that.

Deadkeys
For some reason I have deadkeys again since I switched to KDE 2.2. My X server is correctly configured to use the German layout with option nodeadkeys and indeed it works nicely in Gnome or Xsession setup. But with KDE I get my dead keys back. Any idea?

Re: konqueror crashes after latest apt-get upgrade
I also ran into this same crash but I thought that it was interesting that Konqueror didn't crash when viewing debian.org.

Re: konqueror crashes after latest apt-get upgrade
I see similar problems with 2.2.1-3. I can't get Konqueror to display any web pages w/o crashing. However, if I invoke it using kfmclient exec . and then select a web page from a bookmark it works fine. When it crashes my .xsession-errors contains lines like kio (KProtocolInfo): ERROR: Protocol '' not found -Sean O'Keeffe On Tuesday 25 September 2001 17:33, Justin Graham wrote: I also ran into this same crash but I thought that it was interesting that Konqueror didn't crash when viewing debian.org.
