Re: fixed width fonts for konsole

The only two that seem to work that I've found are the various forms of courier and Lucida console, both of which look at best, horrible, and at worst, unreadable. 'v' and 'V' look rather too similar - I spent nearly 2 hours trying to debug some python code that was referencing cursor.oidValue instead of cursor.oidvalue thanks to that one :-( Is there a truetype or type1 equivalent to fixed/misc out there? If you run Konsole with the --noxft option, it turns off the anti-aliasing and lets you use your standard fonts, I find this works best. - Kamil
compiling CVS kde in a different directory
hello, i am trying to compile today's kde in sid, qt-copy and kdelibs already went fine, but i have trouble compiling koffice: - seems in the Makefiles there are some double \n escapes like this .c.o: blah blah \\ blah blah \\ make doesn't like that. i simply search/replaced here, that fixed it - i get these: kpresenter/dtd/Makefile.in defines DEPDIR. This means you're using automake 1.4 - this is not supported! kpresenter/pics/Makefile.in defines DEPDIR. This means you're using automake 1.4 - this is not supported! can i ignore these (probably not) or can i use an older autoconf in sid ? (how ?) - linking in koffice fails: it does not find a lot of essential stuff (like QDatastream and so on. seems it tries to link to the old qt/kde libs. however, kdebase links fine with exactly the same configure options: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/quantum/my_kde/HEAD/koffice/lib/kofficecore$ cat ../../../compile.sh #!/bin/sh export QTDIR=/mnt/quantum/kde/qt-copy export KDEDIR=/mnt/quantum/kde/ export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure --with-qt-dir=/mnt/quantum/kde/qt-copy --enable-debug \ --with-qt-includes=/mnt/quantum/kde/qt-copy/include/ \ --with-qt-lib-dir=/mnt/quantum/kde/qt-copy/lib/ --prefix=/mnt/quantum/kde \ --with-kde-libraries=/mnt/quantum/kde/lib --with-kde=/mnt/quantum/kde \ --with-kde-includes=/mnt/quantum/kde/include the linking line looks okay: c++ -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wundef -Wconversion -fno-builtin -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -o .libs/libkofficecore.la.closure .libs/libkofficecore_la_closure.o .libs/koDocument.o .libs/koFilterManager.o .libs/koMainWindow.o .libs/koPrintPreview.o .libs/koApplication.o .libs/koQueryTrader.o .libs/koDataTool.o .libs/koFilter.o .libs/koImage.o .libs/koImageCollection.o .libs/koClipart.o .libs/koClipartCollection.o .libs/koDocumentInfo.o .libs/koView.o .libs/koFrame.o .libs/handler.o .libs/koDocumentChild.o .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o .libs/koFactory.o .libs/koChild.o .libs/KoApplicationIface.o .libs/KoDocumentIface.o .libs/KoViewIface.o .libs/KoMainWindowIface.o .libs/KoApplicationIface_skel.o .libs/KoDocumentIface_skel.o .libs/KoViewIface_skel.o .libs/KoMainWindowIface_skel.o .libs/libkofficecore_la_meta_unload.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/mnt/quantum/kde/lib ../../lib/store/.libs/libkstore.so -L/mnt/quantum/kde/qt-copy/lib -L/mnt/quantum/kde//lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4 ../../lib/kwmf/.libs/libkwmf.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkdeprint.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkparts.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkfile.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libksycoca.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkio.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkdesu.so -lutil /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkssl.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkdeui.so /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libkdecore.so -ldl /mnt/quantum/kde//lib/libDCOP.so -lpthread -lqt-mt -lpng -ljpeg -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lresolv -lz -lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgcc -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/mnt/quantum/kde/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/mnt/quantum/kde//lib (i mean: no /usr/lib stuff in it. and using -nostdlib does not help) the errors i get: .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x3c98): undefined reference to `QApplication::translate(char const *, char const *, char const *) const' .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o: In function `KoDocumentInfoDlg::tr(char const *, char const *)': .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x3cd9): undefined reference to `QApplication::translate(char const *, char const *, char const *) const' .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o: In function `KoDocumentInfoDlg::staticMetaObject(void)': .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x3d72): undefined reference to `QMetaObject::new_metadata(int)' and so on. libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x1ffa): undefined reference to `KTarFile::data(void) const' .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x2007): undefined reference to `QBuffer::QBuffer(QArraychar)' .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o(.text+0x202b): undefined reference to `QDomDocument::setContent(QIODevice *)' .libs/koDocumentInfoDlg.o: In function `KoDocumentInfoPropsPage::applyChanges(void)': someone knows what i do wrong ? greetings, Frank

unknown problem
Hello! I can't figure it out where is the problem with my graphical desktop. kdm starts and the login screen appears. But if I login, the kdm just restarts. Log-files are not indicating any errors (or I just can't find them). I can use X by selectin safe mode from kdm-login. Before the problem appeared I did 2 things: 1) compiled i2c and apm support to kernel. (seems not to be the problem) 2) made apt-get update upgrade It was yesterday afternoon. I use Debian unstable with 2.4.10 and Athlon1G , AJA2 m/b Please, does anyone know were is the problem or how can I find it out? --- Toomas Vananurm Registered Linux User #89139
kivio line connector tool doesn't work in kde packages for potato.
I'm running the kde packages for potato from kde.debian.net and found that the kivio line connector tool does not work at all. I searched the archives to see this mentioned back in April so why is this still broken? Will it eventually be fixed so us potato users can enjoy this package? Anyone know how long it will take to get fixed packages upload to kde.debian.net? Thanks for your time. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Re: kivio line connector tool doesn't work in kde packages for potato.
I'm running the kde packages for potato from kde.debian.net and found that the kivio line connector tool does not work at all. I searched the archives to see this mentioned back in April so why is this still broken? The connector tool was broken in one of the KOffice beta releases and fixed in the next. KOffice was always going to be difficult to backport to potato, but the KOffice 1.1-final release depends on KDE 2.2 so this makes it even less likely that it will be backported for potato users. The good news is that the woody release isn't (in theory) too far away. :) At the moment all my debian time is going into getting stuff ready for woody, but if someone else wants to take the koffice 1.1-final sources and try a backport then they're more than welcome. :) Ben.

Is there a chance that we can get this into sid sometime? Or is there a licensing issue with the QPL? I want to say that mosfet-liquid (which is not GPL-compatible) links with Qt (which is GPLed, at least for our purposes) and hence there are license problems. But don't take my word on this.
