It appears that this is more of a binutils problem then it is a KDE issue (something to do with prelinking, I think). Hopefully once the binutils folks get stuff straightened out, load times will decrease :D - Kamil Kisiel

kmail: pop3 with ssl fails
Hello all, today I got me an email account at the german freemail-provider gmx. Since I am behind a firewall at work I tried to fetch my emails with pop3 over sll but somehow this attempt failed. I would like to track the problem down but even the --nofork option did not put out any helpful messages in addition to the popup that contained: Error while connecting to pop.gmx.net What can I do to solve this problem. I already tried to run fetchmail -ssl -v and this seems to work (with the little problem that the mail is lost somewhere on my notebook because I have not configured any local MTA (at least I don't remember doing so). I am running the latest packages from sid (including the 2 crypto-packages for kde). Any help would be appreciated! Olaf

Not a direct answer to your question, but if you used fetchmail, it likely put the mail in /var/mail/username. You should be able to configure a local account in Kmail, point it to the local mbox and you should be good to go. So, in case you can't get Kmail/POP3/SSL all working together, you should still be able to use fetchmail to retrieve messages. --kurt
Re: Yet another anti-aliased KDE screenshot
Zitiere Eray Ozkural (exa) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If you're viewing that screenshot with konqueror you will see a fairly accurate representation of what I'm using but if you use an image viewer that resamples that further for you, it will indeed look blurry. Yup I am viewing them with konqueror and they *are* blurred and I also had them on on my dektop and it's awful - it hurts my eyes. I do understand what AA does.

Re: Creating new kernel with initrd?, Custom kernel: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:05
El Mar 30 Oct 2001 21:50, Timothy Webster escribió: Has anybody else who has experience this problem found a solution? Please append a correct root= boot option kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03 -tim. Yes I have experienced the problem and I found a solution that worked for me. The problem is that possibly your root partition is an ext2 one and the binary kernel that you are presummably using has ext2 as module. When the kernel starts the ext2 module is not loaded and therefore it cannot mount the root partition (well this is my guess). How to solve it?. I think that you need to edit /etc/mkinitrd/modules and uncomment the ext2 line and later you have to do something like mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.4.12-test /lib/modules/2.4.12 and run lilo again. Lilo should have a line like: initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.12-test If you do not have a mkinitrd directory you need to install package initrd-tools and mkcramfs.

How to fix Konqueror and kmail?
After the bungled attempt to upgrade to KDE2.2.1, and finally getting my system mostly working, I am still experiencing two last problems that I realy need to get sorted. Both Konqueror and kmail fail to load with the following error: There was an error loading the module KHTML. The Diagnostic is: /usr/lib/libkssl.so.2: undefined symbol: polish__7KDialog I've check that the crypto packages are up-to-date with my KDE2.1 and have tried using apt-cache search for polish and KDialog but can not find anything that might be related to this or how to fix it. I'm still hoping that KDE2.2.1 will soon show up in the testing mirrors so I can upgrade to it without having to use a mixed system after the major problem I had the last time. Thanks for all the info and suggestions so far. Cheers, John Gay
Upgrading the kernel on a woody box
OK, I'm new to debian, so I probably screwed up something simple. This is my second attempt to upgrade the kernel--it won't boot properly into the new 2.4.12 kernel (I also tried 2.4.9 several weeks ago--same result). I can still boot into my old kernel, however (2.2.19pre17) I've downloaded the kernel-image-2.4.12-686 (and the corresponding headers, source, and doc file) I double checked to make sure the initrd=/boot/initrd line was added to lilo.conf (I believe it was added automatically when I tried this the first time, but I could be wrong). It's like the third uncommented line in the file. I made sure the initrd link pointed to the correct (2.4.12) file. I made sure that the following were installed: devfds, initrd-tools, iptables, mkcramfs, libxml2, libxml2-dev and usbmgr. I added the following to my source.list: deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main And I ran apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade. When I reboot, I get a lot of errors. They flash by fast--but this is the general gist. There was some error regarding partitions, cramfs and magic numbers. Then there are a ton of missing module messages. Then it tries to boot into X and fails--leaving me at a command line. I do have basic functionality from the command line. If I restart and boot into my old kernel, everything works. Any ideas? -Rich- _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
