  Just some shlib (lintian) things left to fix.

 Wow, you guys plainly rock! If you don't only share the first name
 with the packager, thank you very, very much!

 Is there a chance that we can get this into sid sometime? Or is there
 a licensing issue with the QPL?


I think the bigger issue is that look that liquid has.
I do not know what apple thinks about it.

Edit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start (at least 
that's what it is on debian).  It should say

exec $REALSTARTUP

This was reported elsewhere, but I've forgotten where I saw 
it.  Credits to original author...

Hope this helps,

 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?

Daniel has the right idea. You need to add the user to the ``audio

I found something useful on my sound problem on KDE.

I opened an xterm and typed kde2 -h to see what my options are ...
well kde started again. But it threw an interesting error: device
/dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied).

but the ls -l shows the permissions to be lrwxrwxrwx

bleah!

Anti-aliased fonts and defaults

2001-10-10 Thread David Bishop
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I broke down and enabled AA yesterday and am mostly pleased with the results. 
However, and I remember this coming up before but I can't find anything on 
the web or in the list archive, kde seems to default to using AdLib when it 
can't or won't use Arial (what I've specified as the default).  It seems to 
pick the first font alphabetically and use that.  Well, someone's work around 
was to create a font with the name of a01 (or something like that).  Does 
anyone know the proper fix or, failing that, where to find that funky-named 
font?  Trying to surf and seeing adlib popup everywhere is just plain 
annoying :-(

On an somewhat related note, some programs take quite a bit longer to load 
now, esp. konq and kcontrol.  I know that has to do with font-caching or 
something, is there anyway to speed that up?  I'm using lastest sid, so xfree 
4.1.0-7 with an atirage 128pro (r1238 driver).  Any hep with either problem 
appreciated!  Thanks

Anti-aliased fonts in KDE 2.2.1: ``Adobe fonts not available when anti-aliasing enabled

2001-10-10 Thread Bruce Miller
I believe that this topic was already covered in the Debian-KDE list, 
but I can no longer find the references, even in the mailing list 
archive. Please forgive me if I have missed the obvious.

I have upgraded Libranet Linux 1.9.1 from potato to woody and 
added KDE 2.2.1 from sid. These upgrades install XFree 4.1.0.

I immediately began to experience font problems. In trying to track 
them down, I updated a number of xfonts, gsfonts, gsfonts-x11 
packages. Everything appears to be working now, except that, 
when anti-aliasing is enabled, the fonts module of KDE Control 
Center shows none of the standard 35 ``Adobe fonts installed by 
gsfonts-x11. This is more important than it might sound because 
the ``default font of KDE is Helvetica which is one of the 35 
``gsfonts. Not surprisingly, KDE is unhappy when it cannot find its 
default font.

If anti-aliasing is disabled, the 35 ``standard Adobe fonts re-appear 
in the fonts list. (P.S. After each change of anti-aliasing status, 
KDE needs to be restarted.)

Bottom line for the moment: one can have anti-aliasing or the 35 
``standard Adobe fonts but not both. Is there a way to have one's 
font cake and eat it too?




Kfract anyone??

2001-10-10 Thread Sunny Dubey
hey

does anyone know where I could get the source code for kfract??
Its an application that generates fractals (or at least a specfic type of 
them, and I'd like to be able to use it for my math class.)
I don't want the version from debian, but rather the official source tree.  
I've looked everywhere (google, ftp.kde.org etc) and I have yet to find it.  
(maybe I'm just over looking something.)  Thanks for any info you may provide.

KFract can be found in kdegraphics. You can download it from ftp.kde.org.
