kmail setup
KMail manual says that the accounts can be set under the "network" tab. However, I can't find this tab. Where is it located? Can setup be edited directly? If so, what is the proper file? I am running Debian testing and kde 2.2.2 and kmail is 2.2.2-1. Thanks, Kari
Re: kde 2.2.x on potato (self compiled)
Thank you. I got it running now with the notes you attached. Think the problem was, that my prefix directory /usr/kde2.2.2 wasn't in $PATH as first. bye, Eckhard Am Mittwoch, 28.

ok folks...let's talk freeze...
We are very close to freeze. I'm very impatiently waiting for word on crypto in main so that I can get rid of the -crypto packages. I have a slowly increasing list of fixes/changes which will be uploaded within the next week... here are some things that I'm doing... * lots of build cleanup * lots of dependency cleanup (Moving alot of the Recommends to Suggests) * crypto build in main packages (pending...) * Xinerama support for i386 only * final sync with upstream...tho there hasn't been any changes yet... is there any pressing things that needs to be done to the packages that are currently in sid? Patches, submissions, last minute simple changes? Speak now or forever hold your piece. In a few weeks it will be RC bug fixes only. Ivan -- Ivan E.

old bugs
also...for those of you who do have free time and who are running sid/unstable (ie 2.2.2-x)...please go through the bug reports filed against kde packages..mainly the ones that are "forwarded" and find out what's been fixed so we can close the bug reports. I've been slowly going through them but I'd appreciate if others could help with this as I have to catch up on my Debian alpha duties since we are close to freeze. Ivan -- Ivan E.

Re: Shockware Plugin for Konqueror
Hello, thanks for the many advices I got, but no success yet. I went to the linux.com site and checked all the stuff - java is enabled - java script is enables - plugins are enables - I scanned for plugins but - the flash plugin is not listed - and does not work either - whereas e.g. the pdf plugin from acrobat is listed and works.

Building QT on Debian
Was attempting to build QT 2.3.2 for Debian (actually Progeny Debian that we've done modifaction to, like a number of Woody/Sid backports) the qt build bombs out. (Error below.)

I've installed the unofficial flashplayer-mozilla deb package from http://marillat.free.fr That and a plugins scan in konqueror setup got flash going in all its gory.

Does that mean you use XFree86 3.3.6 (or so, not sure about it...)? But no matter what X-version you're running, do NOT (and I mean by no means!) use the sis-chipset-accelleration (which is in SVGA-server, I think)!!! It does not work due to some problems with LCD.

Re: highly [OT] debian matlab
> 1. easy to maintain == debian :) > 2. matlab == ?? (I hope this is 'doesn't matter or 'debian') I'm running a server with Debian woody, and have both Matlab versions 5.2 and 6 installed. The only problem is that the GUI of Matlab 6 is a little buggy and locks up once in awhile. I think this is a Java problem. I don't know if this would be any different with say Red Hat. Also we find that for a lot of code, Matlab 5.2 is significantly faster than 6. By the way, if you've got a large disk, then you can copy all the documentation to the hard disk and modify the matlab paths file (don't remember which file it is). The installation doesn't do this for you. Eric

Panel dies after X/KDE upgrade
Hello, all. Today, I resolved to fix the GTK font issue that has been plaguing my install of dia for about a month... After trying various workarounds as suggested by various sources (none of which solved the problem,) I decided to try to upgrade from XFree86 4.0.3 to 4.1.0. Miraculously, this solved my dia problem. Unfortunately, my kpanel now dies (twice) upon startup. The panel begins painting itself during the initial startup, disappears, tries to paint itself again during the app restoration stage, and dies again. This, of course, does not necessarily have anything to do with my upgrading X, but that was the major preceding event to the current symptom. What is the manual command to start a panel from an xterm? The 'kpanel' binary does not appear to exist on my filesystem (or at least the locate db has missed it...) Where should I look for error reports? I didn't see anything promising in syslog, kdm.log or messages. Basically, how do i go about diagnosing and fixing this problem? My stats: Debian (mainly) Woody Kernel 2.4.12 kdebase 2.2.1.0-6 xfree86-base 4.1.0-9 xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-9 TIA, -Chris

On a related note, I've got kdevelop2.0 installed and for the most part I quite like it's look and feel. I tried to create a KDE based app, not knowing anything about widget programming, but using the create wizard. After I got all the kde-devel installed and re-configured kdevelop to reconise everything was installed, I used the wizard to create a blank KDE app. Everything went fine, until I tried to compile the blank app. The build complained: make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jgay/test' Making all in test make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jgay/test/test' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link --tag=CXX c++ -O2 -O0 -g3 -Wall -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -o test -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/lib -R /usr/lib -R /usr/X11R6/lib testview.o testdoc.o test.o main.o testview.moc.o testdoc.moc.o test.moc.o test_meta_unload.o -lqt -lpng -lz -lm -ljpeg -lXext -lX11 -lresolv -lSM -lICE -lkdecore -lkdeui -lkfile -lresolv libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libjpeg.la' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jgay/test/test' make[2]: *** [test] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jgay/test' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 *** failed *** I've got /usr/lib/libjpeg.a but what is libjpeg.la?

Same old stuff...klisa doesnt work properly plus a suggestion on the initial (startup) wallpaper on the main kde screen. All of these suggestions & nits apply to both the ALPHA and i386 arches. All are confirmed on the most recent packages from SID updated as of yesterday, 28 Nov 01. Problem #1. Clicking on "Local Network" will only find the "localhost" and no other network hosts. This remains as such even after configuring klisa in Control Center--> Network --> Lan Browsing. Investigation reveals that when klisa is configured this way, it will ALWAYS save the lisarc file in /etc/lisarc. However, the klisa initscript in /etc/init.d/klisa is set to read its configuration info from /etc/kde2/lisarc. Therefore the updated local config information in /etc/lisarc is never read. This problem appeared in KDE 2.2.X, and was not present in KDE 2.1.2. FIX to #1. There are probably better ways to do this, but I moved the supplied /etc/kde2/lisarc file out of the way and created a symlink to the /etc/lisarc file and re-started klisa. It will now "see" the other computers on the LAN. I tried the symlink the other way (from /etc/lisarc --> /etc/kde2/lisarc) but when I configured the network "Lan Browsing" again, the symlink was removed and a new /etc/lisarc file was created. Problem #2. Clicking on the (+) sign beside the "Local Network" icon will produce this error: "Cannot find parent item lan://localhost/ in the tree. Internal Error". Blind investigation here have revealed the "URL" line in the /.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file is set to "URL=lan:/". Changing this to read "URL=lan://localhost/" will restore normal behavior and clicking on the (+) sign beside the "Local Network" icon will expand to a sub-tree of all the LAN comuters found. This problem appeared in KDE 2.2.X, and was not present in KDE 2.1.2. BTW, I have found similar bug reports on the KDE bug list from other distros (SuSE,Mandrake). This would indicate this may be more of a KDE "generic" problem than just a Debian version problem. FIX to #2. For all accounts that already have a /.kde/ directory, the local sysadmin will have to manually edit the /.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file and make this change to make the system work correctly. HOWEVER, for new accounts and/or new installs of KDE where there is NOT an existing .kde directory, if the /usr/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/remote/lan.desktop file contains this edit, then it will be applied to each new KDE setup created. This change also will allow deletion of old ~/.kde directories and re-generation of a corrected lan.desktop file automatically. This is something to consider for the final package if a better solution is not found. PROBLEM #3. The initial background is set to display the "Debian.jpg" wallpaper, however this wallpaper is never shown when first starting up KDE and going through the new setup wizard. I can later get it to display by first turning off the wallpaper setting (none) in Control Center --> Look & Feel --> Background and applying that new config, THEN redoing the above and selecting the Debian.jpg wallpaper and applying it again. This same thing has shown up on 4 different computers here over multiple installs (> 6) of KDE 2.2.2 . FIX to #3. (Suggested). Since the wallpaper is not currently being shown anyway, why not just set the default wallpaper to "none". This will possibly save some memory for users will limited memory resources. Submitted for your consideration. Cheers, -Don Spoon-

Minor knit, I've notice that in the last week with Konsole, that using any console apps that use the whole Konsole screen (like nano for instance) now leave the cursor at the top of the screen on exit. Maybe there is a setting somehere to alter this and the default has simply changed but it's quite an obnoxious and unexpected behaviour... ie; if the console screen is already full of output then when editing a file with nano, upon exit the cursor is at the top of the screen with all manner of previous screen gunk still on the screen. Seeing no else (that I've seen) has commented about this then it might be a setable option somewhere ? --markc

This appears to have been fixed in the latest upload to unstable (2.2.2-3).
