KDE by default has a thirty second timeout on artsd, so it will take over /dev/dsp until then.

Does anyone know how to add a custom keybinding in KDE. For example I would like to bind Alt-PgUp and Alt-PgDn to 'aumix -v+10' and 'aumix -v-10' for volume control.

I'm not in front of my debian box so i can't tell ya for sure, but i think that you DO have the option to create a folder and in the properties of it choose something along the lines of 'contains a mailing list' and then put in [EMAIL PROTECTED] anyhow i'll check for sure when i get home and let ya know. -s - Original Message - From: Mikage Sakurai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 5:30 PM Subject: filters in kmail > Hello, > i have a problem with filters in kmail: i would like that all the mail coming > from this mailing list went to the folder "debian-kde", so i tried to set > this filter rule: > > contains debian-kde@lists.debian.org > and > Cc contains debian-kde@lists.debian.org > > transfer debian-kde > > > I can't understand what's wrong with it think it has to be something > easy, but i have no clue > > thanks, > > Mikage > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also make sure that this filter is at the top of the list - use the up/down buttons. For example I have a spam filter which is set up like this: doesn't contain [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->transfer Trash But if this spam filter is *above* the mailing list filter it will send mailing list items to the trash, so it is placed below. In other words KMail checks against my debian-kde and debian-user filters before it checks against my various spam filters. For spam that has my email address in it, I've got a couple of other filters lined up, most of them involving common spam subject words, such as ADV [don't know what this is but it's always spam] rich viagra xxx lolita Windows Reliability ...etc. It's quite satisfying to watch the spam accumulate in the trash and not in the inbox :) -- David P.

noatun audio formats?
Hi, I just installed noatun. i'm experiencing problems with the default file formats. according to the documentation/web page, it should play mp3s by default. when i try to open a file to play, the file dialog only shows 'WAV audio' by default. I've checked for the existence of mpeglib (it's there). i'm tracking sid and i just finished an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, so everything should be current. any ideas about what's going on?

Re: Upgrading the kernel on a woody box
You need these packages for 2.4 to work. Otherwise it will never work: http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html Fred
Re: Upgrading the kernel on a woody box
Firstly I'm moving this to the debian-user list as it's got nothing to do with KDE. In future please ask such questions on debian-user, feel free to CC me on such questions as I maintain the devfsd and lilo packages.

The locations of all modules have changed in 2.4.x kernels. Old modutils will not work at all on new kernels (in fact I'm surprised that the modules on your initrd even worked). > When I reboot, I get a lot of errors.

If I restart and boot > into my old kernel, everything works. I think that one of two things has happened. One possibility is that there was a devfsd problem and the compatibility links matching the entries in /etc/fstab weren't created leading to fsck failing and the boot process aborting. Another possibility is that the modules for X weren't loaded and the X server could not start. But without any log entries I'm just guessing. NB Serial console is a really handy feature. It makes it easy to cut/paste kernel boot messages into an email (including in situations where the kernel panics on boot). -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page

Re: two knewsquestions
Sorry i forgot to mention I have a woody/sid machine and am running kde 2.2.1 with knewsticker v0.2.
two knewsquestions
I have two simple knewsquestions: The first is if i click at preferences and select the tab news sources i see listed linux weekly news, slashdot, dot.kde.org, fresmeat. Pretty basic huh? But instead of freshmeat I get kuro5hin.org listings, anybody else seeing that? (The fresmeat thing *really* points at freshmeat) And how do i get rid of that Second question deals about the same tab, if a want to add a new news source there is this check box 'the file is a program'. Can anyone explain me how that works or give me an url that explains that. I've looked at the web but i can't seem to find anything related. The reason why I am curious is that one of my favourite webpages produces something similar to rss/rdf but not quite the real thing I have written a perl script that converts their format to rss and I've cronned that perl script... The check box suggests however that a more intelligent solution is at hands, right??? thanks emiel
