Re: Current state of KDE now?
If it turns out to be the former, the koffice updates will be this coming weekend when I return to Melbourne. At the moment the only connection between my laptop and the net is via floppy disc. So I'm hoping you mean this weekend, before the 21st? The current list of koffice packages to be installed are 1:1.1.1-3 so I am assuming I need to watch for 1:1.1.1-4? Yup, this weekend. 1.1.1-4 should be uploaded tonight. b.
KOffice and my KDE 2.2 packages
Okay, so here's the current status of things from my end. kdeaddons and koffice are rebuilt for libpng2; I'm uploading these at the moment. kdetoys, kdesdk and kdeartwork never got built with libpng3 and should be fine as is. Btw, the KDE stuff will build fine against libpng3 since libpng-dev provides libpng2-dev. Is this deliberate? Should kdelibs-dev or libqt-dev be depending on libpng2-dev (version) instead of just libpng-dev so as to avoid this provides?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 If I can go on the assumption that you are using anti-aliased text, and therefore the render extension, and that when you say konqueror freezes, you mean your whole desktop, then you have been bitten by the infamous render extension and long lines of text bug. If not, then it's something new and feel free to file a (more detailed) bug report at bugs.kde.org. HTH and HAND.

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. 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? Ie, does the browser based setup need to be done before the KDE CUPS control panel stuff can be done? See above. Sorry if I add some corrections here, since your answer isn't clear on the last question (alternatives): Yes, the browser method and the KDE/control-panel are alternative ways of configuring cups. I did the setup for all printers I use only with the tools under the KDE-control-panel. Everything you need is the root password to commit the changes to the printer driver setup you made. I was very pleased by the KDE-printer-setup, I can hardly think of easier ways to setup a printing system BTW: I didn't touch any cups.config files by hand at all!

KDE3(beta) as unofficial add-on?
Hello, I have read the discussion about using /opt with some amusement, my opinion is like tha majority: Stay away from /opt for official debian packages. But: To have a simple solution for testing kde3 beta besides kde2 wouldn't it be good to provide unofficial debs for kde3 as long as this is called beta upstream. These unofficial packages are not part of debian and can use /opt ! This way it should be possible to have both at the same time. When kde3 matures the packages become official and replace the kde2 packages under/usr (if this isnt too much work changing the prefix in all relevant packages?) Just my 2 cent, Olaf

Status of prelink for kde packages
Hello, A couple of months ago, Ivan said prelinking would be available for KDE packages once upstream changes are made to binutils glibc http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-200110/msg00269.html As I am not a glibc insider, I'd like to know how things are progressing and if we can expect prelinked kde package in sid anytime soon Thanks _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
