As root, I modified the line of the name (placed it in quotes) and reran update-menus. Now all the Debian menus appear. Logan Bear
Fwd: kde virus-like menu masher
Hi all, This situation was mentioned on debian-user some time ago, but not answered. If this isn't the appropriate list, please let me know and I'll go elsewhere. I just did a fresh install of woody on my son's machine by using a 2.2r2 cd to install a base system, then apt-get upgrade then apt-get distupgrade. I then installed x-window-system along with icewm and eterm. So far so good. I then installed the kdebase packages and selected kde applications (plus some additional non-kde apps). The only things that show on the menu are packages that would be listed with a search on the packages page for descriptions using the search criteria "kde". Even such as Gimp, eterm, xterm, don't appear. On my machine, the kdm log-in gives a choice of default, icewm, and failsafe. On the new install, only default and failsafe appear. I'm a debian newbie (migrated from Corel Linux about a year ago) and haven't a clue where to begin to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. The machine is a 450 mhz, k6 with 128 mb ram. tia bob -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: kde virus-like menu masher Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 09:38:57 +1100 (EST) From: Nick Croft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Debianites, Half the attraction of debian is the menu-update system which is activated by apt-get or relatives. I've been happily working away and using either WindowMaker Afterstep or E, mainly WindowMaker. On another machine I installed kde (kdebase_4%3a2.0.1-4) last December, and had no probs. Liked konqueror. Yesterday I put (on the main machine) kdebase 4:2.1.0.1-5 and other k packages. I found it to be very intrusive, rather like a M$ product. It took over my desktop immediately without giving me the option of changing to it. Then it rewrote my menus, apparently overriding the menu-update script, such that only k-* programs appeared in the menus. I restarted X back into WindowMaker and found I only had half a dozen options in the menu. I apt-got something to activate the menu-update thingy, (which I thought was supposed to find everything with a menu file) but still only had the k-approved items and the new one. Since then I've purged all kstuff, but the menus are no better. I've been rewriting /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook _manually_, but I need to keep a copy of it because any further installs wipe it out and substitute the kversion of the menus. I've looked at the man pages for update-menus and menufile and read the /usr/doc/menu/html tutorial, but can't find the answer. Something seems to be overriding the system. I guess I can apt-get something, then use 'find' to see what's been moodified in the last 2 minutes and check that way. Sorry for the long ramble. Give kde the miss.

kmail doesn't render HTML messages
Hi, Has anyone else seen this, or am I missing the point somewhere? I have an up to date testing system, with KDE 2.1.2 and kmail 1.2. About two weeks ago, kmail suddenly stopped rendering HTML email messages. They now come out as the ASCII codes instead. Before two weeks ago, the HTML was rendered correctly, and automatically. I can cut and paste the HTML into a file and see it correctly in konqueror or netscape, so it seems to be good HTML. Is it possible that upgrade of some package about that time upset kmail's ability to render HTML? I have checked the following kmail settings: Folder:"Prefer HTML to plain text" --- checked Settings:Configuration:Appearance:Layout:"Prefer plain text to HTML rendering" --- unchecked. ~/.kde/share/kmailrc:[Reader]:htmlMail=true ~/.kde/share/kmailrc:[xxx]:htmlMailOverride=false where xxx is the name of each folder defined. -- Oliver Johns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> San Francisco, California USA GPG KeyID=A2ACE692 GPG Fingerprnt=BE4A C1B8 EB0D 8FD9 737D CE4A 1E56 BF9B A2AC E692

I guess your KDE used lpr and if no PRINTER var is defined lpr use the
queue lp as default. For cups forget the fragile PRINTER settings. With
echo Default {yourqueuehere} >> /etc/cups/lpoptions
set the systemwide default queue for the cups client tools. Users
can change it in file ~/.lpoptions or via PRINTER (and/or LPDEST?)
settings.

Printing with CUPS 1.1.10 on KDE 2.1.2
Hi All, I've installed CUPS 1.1.10 from testing on KDE 2.1.2. The printer is seen by CUPS and I can print the test page or from the command line with lp. But I can't have Konqueror or Kword print. When I select the print menu, they propose a default daisyprint (if I remember correctly), and nothing happens when I confirm the dialog. But I observe an error message into /var/log/cups/error_log: E [02/Oct/2001:15:29:19 -0500] print_job: resource name '/printers/lp' no good! If I print with "lp", I can see in CUPS logs that the print filtering and spooling is correctly working... How are configured printers for applikations? And where is this strange "/printers/lp" defined? Any help would be really appreciated. Pierre Métras

Hi, Am I REALLY the only person who's suffering the problem of various menu's being replaced with "No Text!" and not contaning any options? Particularly in : kmail - the "options" menu kview - all menus except the "image" menu kcontrol - the second menu from the left (think it's "help") probably lots of other apps Looks like I'm gonna have to UTSL.. :-| Sounds like a locale problem.
