Re: konqueror file manager mount
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Create an icon for a device in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/dirtree/ or just drag it in the konqueror navigation bar (where the directory tree is). *bong*, you have a mount option via RMB and you can access it from within Konqueror. This is nice, thanks for suggesting it. There are only two problems with this solution: 1. konqueror shows (at last on my system) always a mounted icon (one with a green triangle on it) - not a real *problem* but confusing 2. doing this renders the real mount-point (e.g. /mnt/floppy) useless, because I do never need it in konqueror - everytime I mount a filesystem via the icon I'm immediately on the filesystem. If I try to access the real mount point without mounting it with the device icon before this solution doesn't work. Use kdf (kdiskfree) to mount any partition listed in your fstab. Read the help file of kdf. jozien Thanks for your this suggestion, but this is not what I was thinking of. This solution does not make the use of konqui better AFAIK. I thought more of a *natural* solution - why does konqui not parse the fstab and *automatically* apply an icon and/or the option to mount it on the context-menu. I'm no programmer so please correct me if this solution is a bad idea... - -- Nikolaus Regnat [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FingerPrint: ECC0 9FAC 3897 B630 ACF5 02F9 455E B1D1 D63F 3492 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjxJHaEACgkQRV6x0dY/NJLiMwCgjpWjLzCNk+QBWhFi/WsOlO6u NhMAni0L0AIi6ucv3WaNxGh4jgrKtM1T =e6fF -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Maybe file a wishlist bug report? Thanks. Good idea. Once I get this working, I should do that. So, specifically: 1) What packages should I apt-get, 2) How to install which drivers, 3) etc. cupsys and cupsys-client should get you started. I actually don't use the gimp-print driver, but you can play around with it later if the quality isn't up to snuff with the default. Once you install them, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. It is *very* well documented, but I can send you my file off-list if you need more help. You don't mention if you have a single workstation setup, or a server that will serve other computers, but either way is a breeze. cups is configured via the web, so once you edit the config, and restart cups (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart), point any webbrowser at http://server:631, and log on using the username and password that you set up. Then (and now I'm going off memory) you click on something like manage printers, then add printer, which will walk you through adding a printer. Once you get done filling out the stuff it asks (printer type, port number) you're done. Try printing the test page, and if that works, just use lp or qtcups (a seperate install) to happily print away. Oh, and if you are running kde 2.2.2, apt-get install kdelibs3-cups, goto the control center, find printing, and add your printer in there, and walah, all kde apps can print to it. My questions are for the simplest case: a stand alone workstation, connected to the internet through some means. (One thing I am confused about: I would like to know the procedure for getting printing running with the KDE in Woody. But, I am confused because it appears that you have described two ways to get CUPS configured and the print driver installed: One relies on the browser interface, one relies on using the KDE control panel. Are these indeed two alternative methods, or are they different functions? Ie, does the browser based setup need to be done before the KDE CUPS control panel stuff can be done? Ie, is the browser method necessary for doing the CUPS setup, and then, once everything is set up, the control panel interaction is used to make the KDE system aware of how to let KDE apps access the printer that was set up in CUPS (using the web browser interface to the CUPS system)? ) So, if I am running the 020118 or later Woody, [The konq-help-about screen says I'm running Konq 2.2.1 on KDE 2.2.2, IIRC, and I installed it about 1 week ago.] do I need to do the browser based config, or can I skip that, do all the CUPS setup with the kdelibs3-cups procedure you mentioned at the end of your comments? OK, Please tell me, is this procedure _exactly_ correct? (Are there any changes you suggest to this procedure?) Here is what I have done so far: 1) Do a basic Woody install (including setting up networking access) 2) Install X (from, I think it was Tasksel) 3) Install KDE (from, again, I think Tasksel) 4) At the command prompt, type startx, then log into KDE. Now, for these next steps, do I just do these apt-get's, and answer any questions asked, and that's it? Specifically: Do I need to do anythning here about dependencies/recommends/etc? _Are_ there any deps/recs? If so, do the exact apt-get lines below install an appropriate set of deps/recs/etc? Or, do I have to do something else to get the deps/recs in? If so, what? Is this the complete set of what I need to apt-get? Which would be best? Should I apt-get these? Use dselect? Use tasksel? (Is there a CUPS task?) 5) apt-get install cupsys 6) apt-get install cupsys-client 7) edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf [Specifically: What kinds of changes will I need to be making here? Or, maybe you don't need to answer this question. Since you said the file is well documented, perhaps it will be obvious what I need to do once I get to this step.) 8) Restart cups (/etc/init.d/cupsys restart), 9) Point any webbrowser at http://server:631 . Log on using the username and password that you set up. Click on something like manage printers, then add printer, which will walk you through adding a printer. Fill out the stuff it asks

Re: kde not starting as normal user
Hi again, I still have problems in starting kde as a normal user - and i have no idea what's wrong I tried the following: I started XFree only with a xterminal - whithout any windowmanager - if i now enter startkde to the xterminal - kde should be started. This works for the root user - but not for noraml users - they get the fllowing messages: In the xterminal: -- bash-2.05a$ startkde Aborting. bind() failed: : Permission denied Aborting. bind() failed: : Permission denied -- As a window without a frame: (translated in english - i'm sorry :-)) -- A Problem in setting up the communication beetween the kde-processes appeared. The Message of the System was: Could not read network connection list. /home/marc/-DCOPserver_bart_:0 Please ensure that the programme dcopserver is running ! -- If i start dcopserver manually on the commandline and try it again - the the window complaining about the dcopserver does not appear anymore - but then i get an other error-message: -- bash-2.05a$ dcopserver DCOPServer up and running. bash-2.05a$ startkde Aborting. bind() failed: : Permission denied KSMServer: can't open /tmp/ksocket-marc/KSMserver-:0: Permission denied KSMServer: Aborting. connect() failed: : No such file or directory -- What can I do ?

Maybe there are some real kde-gurus which only smile about this problem, and can give me a solution :-) On my system normal users are not able to login in kde - it doesn't matter if I startup kde from GDM or from console with startx. If i startup kde i can see for a short period of time the dotted x-screen, after that i saw my kde2 backgroundcolor, then the procedure returns back to console or GDM. The kde splashscreen is not shown The courious thing is that starting kde works very well for the root-user, and starting other desktops (i.e. gnome) as normal user works also. Therefore I suppose that this is not a xfree-problem - although there are some messages in the Xfree-Log.

My mistake. I should have explained what cups is :-) Cups has a client/server setup, even when you are using soley one machine. So the first step (edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf) is to configure where the cups server will be listening (what ports and interfaces) and what the passwords are to connect to it. IIRC, there isn't *much* more than that. The second stage, connecting to the cups server with a web browser, is to set up the server to print to your printer, i.e., configure the driver/install the printer stage. At this stage, you can choose to print a test page, and it should come out fine. However, to tell the *clients* (i.e., the programs) what and where to connect to, you need to configure them. This is when you open up the KDE Printing dialog, and tell it to connect to the cups server on localhost, it does, it retrieves a list of printers that are configured, you select the one you set up, and now all KDE apps can automagically print to the cups server. I hope that's a slightly better explanation of what's going on :-) Are these indeed two alternative methods, or are they different functions?

Ah, new to debian I see :-) apt-get takes care of all *dependencies* for you. It doesn't necessarily take care of *recommends*, but if you apt-get install cupsys, you are gauruneteed (wow, my spelling sucks) that you will have a functional cups server. Behold: the power of apt B-) Or, do I have to do something else to get the deps/recs in? If so, what? Is this the complete set of what I need to apt-get? Which would be best? Should I apt-get these? Use dselect? Use tasksel? (Is there a CUPS task?) I always use apt-get/apt-cache, due to excessive problems with dselect. Once you get used to how apt-* works, you find that it's very powerful. For instance, if you apt-cache show cupsys, you see that it suggests: cupsys-client, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-driver-gimpprint | cupsomatic-ppd that is, *client, *bsd, and *driver-gimpprint OR cupsomatic-ppd. Whether you should get the gimp driver or ppd depends on the model of printer, and as such, you'll probably just have to try them both. You'll also note that it depends on cupsys-pstoraster, which provides the postscript2printer support you ask about
