No AA after upgrade!
Hello all, yesterday I did an apt-get upgrade (testing) and after this the font anti-aliasing does not work anymore. I already made the changes suggested by the defoma package (x-ttcid-font-dirs) but this did not solve the problem. Maybe it has something to do with some of the kdelibs (qt?) Any help is appreciated, Olaf -- Dr. Olaf Stetzer Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Institut für Meterologie und Klimaforschung Atmosphärische Aerosole (IMK III) - http://imk-aida.fzk.de Tel.: +49(0)7247-82-3249 (FAX: -4332)

In my case, I add the following line at the top of the file: dir /usr/share/fonts/truetype This is where my TT fonts live. The moral is-- Make sure Xft can find your fonts. Hope this helps, Dave I decided to install the kde-packages from sid and now it works. Seems, that again the state of testing is quiet unstable at the moment.

Re: kdm not run
I get the following message from kdm: kdm_greet: relocation error: kdm_greet: undefined symbol: XineramaIsActive. But on the other comuter kdm work!?! you're running kdm on a system which has xlibs without xinerama support, but the kdm you installed was compiled on a system with xinerama. basically a package mismatch. So how do you fix it? I have the same problem, and didn't do anything more complicated than apt-get upgrade to get into this situation, so I assume it's a transient problem with the packages in the archive.
KDM - Some minor buggies
Greetings, I have been running KDE and KDM for a while on multiple environments. My specific problems are with KDM 2.2.2-6 running on KDE 2.2.2 on Woody (apt-gotten daily) with Kernel 2.4.7 and XFree86 4.1.0.1: 1) When KDM is started upon boot, the keyboard is frozen for entry of password. If the X-Server is restarted then KDM accepts passwords. This same behavior occurs on my Potato system (2.19, XFree 3.36, KDE 2.1). KDM works AOK (for password entry) on my Mandrake 8.1 system and my Redmond Linux system (Caldera). 2) I am unable to invoke other window managers from the KDM window. Whenever I try to invoke afterstep or sawfish or fvwm KDE always starts. I prefer KDE to the other environments. Invoking other window managers works on the KDM/KDE Mandrake 8.1 system. As the subject says these are minor buggies but if there are any solutions for Woody, I would appreciate it as Woody is my main OS! Michael Hoodes http://www.hoodes.comSeattle, WA
kde 3.0
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Is anyone tracking the kde4 (3.0) packages? Have they stabalized lately? (I'm not looking for rock-solid, obviously, just daily-use). Any actual experiences welcome :-) Sidenote to Ivan: I don't remember if I asked you about this before, but I was wondering if for the alpha/beta packages of KDE, we could turn on debugging, at least in the libraries. It would help us bleeding edge types to be able to make decent bugreports, and would be turned off (of course) as soon as we hit .0. Anyways, just an idea :-) Thanks to all, and to all a good night! ;-) - -- D.A.Bishop -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8Flf9KEJ4huP2XBERAt5xAKDAXq3/hmDDcG5XyT7Xa2CPyrQoJwCdGDuY 7i0OR/bpmfTRhqUp20EonQg= =JNmU -END PGP SIGNATURE-
RE: Kmail bug and artsd bug
I am running Kmail 1.3.2 from unstable along with mostly KDE2.2.2 libs etc. A mailto link no longer seems to work correctly as it will open kmail but not a new message window. This was working in kmail from testing. Artsd also does not start for me on kde startup. I have the option checked in kcontrol to have it start and I can start it fine from the command-line. Anyone else? -john

The beta releases are (by definition) not for high-speed use but for debugging and being able to produce decent backtraces would be a huge plus for all the developers. I know from the KMail mailing list which I am subscribed to that at least the KMail developers really encourage this. - -- - -M - --- Magnus von Koeller [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Georg-Westermann-Allee 76 / 38104 Braunschweig / Germany Phone: +49-(0)531/2094886 Mobile: +49-(0)179/4562940 lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8FoSmUIvM6e6BgFARAmlXAKC83JTK6QplEKQIF+lM+L0Pb+kvbACgxajG ugak3buCTWuY917p6H85INk= =70xD -END PGP SIGNATURE-

You should really have a system that is completely 2.2.2 (except for maybe a couple of 2.2.x things).

klettres, klatin, kmessedwords packages
For anyone interested, I have made some (unpolished) debian packages for klatin, klettres, and kmessedwords on sid. These are available at: http://cda.mrs.umn.edu/~osch0001/edu/ In the next few days I plan to make packages for other kde-edu programs which compile with kde 2.2.2 and perhaps some other programs aimed at children. All should be available at the above location. Gregory J. Oschwald
