get kde 2.? to work
Yesterday I downloaded and installed kde on 2.2 stable. It started off as 2.2r3 but probably became 2.2r5 with apt. This is my 2nd try as I downloaded and installed unstable I thought and killed the installation. Subsequently I have reinstalled 2.2r3 no updates. I have em but I don't know how to get dselect to see them on my hard drive, I have an idea I have downloaded the latest kde I can get in debs. At present I have a heap of guis but I prefer kde. I would like to put it back on. I have the kde debs and I think enough debs to make my installation up to unstable status. Including 2.4 kernels . Poor choice of words but hopefully you know what I mean. It has been around 4 years since I tried to install debian. Hope you can help. cheers, Mike _ Do You Yahoo!?

Trouble With tluxt/Jens Woody/KDE/ALSA Sound Recipe
[Apparently I need a debconf-utils package, which isn't on the archive] I'm trying to get sound working on a Woody/KDE-unstable i386 box (which has a Soundblaster AWE64), using Alsa, and following tluxt's recent howto doc as amended by Jens Benecke - but I've hit a brick wall : I installed the alsa-source deb, and recompiled the kernel : # apt-get install alsa-source [and selected my one only sound card as sbawe during the package setup] # cd /usr/src # tar xvzf alsa-driver.tar.gz # cd linux # export MODULE_LOC=/usr/src/modules # export ALSA_CARDS=sbawe # make menuconfig [just to switch off all kernel sound options except basic sound support, which I set to make as a module] # make-kpkg kernel-image which all worked ok Jens's recipe then says to run make-kpkg modules_image, but when I did that I got : WARNING: If you want to create the ALSA module package by make-kpkg or debian/rules, you need to install 'debconf-utils' package!! make[2]: *** [config] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver' Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver failed.

KDE-Debian HowTo for KDE2 Debian3=Woody X86. Ver 0.18
KDE-Debian HowTo for KDE2 Debian3=Woody X86. Ver 0.18 By tluxt 020202 For those of you who might want to work on installing KDE this weekend, use this: These bits are new improved. A few days ago I tried apt-get dist-upgrade to get to Sid. I got some errors. I don't recall, but I think the most errors started after I got a message about a retrieved file being corrupted. The upgraded system worked fine, but I want a perfect install. No big deal. I maintain several operational Debian systems in different partitions on my HD. So, I'm gonna reinstall this latest one try the pinning procedure. Pinning info, hopefully, soon to come. === I currently do not have enough time to answer questions about KDE or Debian, or even various ways to accomplish the tasks described here. If you have such questions, please ask them on debian-kde@lists.debian.org :) I do welcome info about this document. If you have any corrections, or suggestions about it, please send them to me - these I will make time to answer, if necessary. This document is in a very early version, and there will be addditions and changes. I have done (most) of the actions described here, so you have that assurance that (most of) these procedures have worked for someone. Many descriptions here are likely from other people (thanks to them!). I may have misinterpreted those descriptions, so that's a possible source of error. Part of this is created from my not immediately recent memory, so there might be something incorrect there. I will attempt to update this document as I personally redo installs, etc, if I notice anything that could be improved. If you see any errors, please let me know. I have decided I don't have time to verify all the info sent to me about these procedures that I conclude should appear in this document. So for a substantial, and increasing, part of the document I have included submitters comments verbatim. The title of this document includes X86. That is because I have done these procedures on that processor. In general, I suspect these procedures will usually apply for other processors. === CONTENTS: * Part 1: Intro ** 1) Quick summary of install instructions 2) General Debian Info Pointer to apt howto Pointer to other persons quick notes ) KDE SW Finding Pulling packages from unstable With pinning otherwise Part 2: SW Installation Descriptions *** 3) Installing KDE Install Debian Install X Install KDE Some things to set up in KDE 4) Printing Postscript/PDF CUPS Postscript/PDF ghostscript gs Kghostview gs-aladdin 5) CD Writing Data Backups ) Pictures - Viewing Organizing ) Communications: email, IRC, ICQ, voice video meeting 6) Sound - drivers, kernel compiling, mp3 7) Video - MPEG AVI Quicktime 8) Office Aps: WP, HTML editing, Presentations, SSheet, Database KMail, KNode? mail, newsgroups. 9) SW Development: kdevelop Part3: Future ** 10) KDE3 === 1) Quick summary of install instructions For those who don't want to RTFM, here's the install summary. Intro Notes: W=Woody, S=Sid, SW=Software. There are two Debian systems you can install to get KDE 2.2: Woody Sid. Woody: Advantages: Packages had been stable for a while before getting into W. Disadvantages: A bug may have been discovered after it got into W. Newer features may be available in Sid packages. Sid: Advantages: Newer features perhaps bugfixes than SW in W. Disadvantages: Sid packages may have new bugs not yet discovered. If you use Sid, and you do apt-get update; apt-get upgrade, you will be downloading more packages than if you used W. If stability is more important to you than latest features, use W. In the KDE 2.2 system for Debian, there is a metapackage called kde-base that contains all the basic essential KDE sw. There is a metapackage called kde that includes the package kde-base, plus many other useful kde packages. As of 020202 (true?), kde is only in Sid, waiting for the requisite time to pass, with no changes to it, in order for it to be moved into W. You can get more SW installed easily by installing the package kde. As of 020202 there are two ways to do this: 1) Install W, then use pinning to install the kde metapackage from S. 2) Install Sid, then install the package kde. * Preparation * http://www.debian.org/releases/ http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/installmanual http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/releasenotes http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/

Re: Where is KwinTV? Again.
Hi i can only say that thats right xawtv is a great proggy im using it under kde too and it runs fine , what you said about gvidm it might not be neccesary to use it in conjunktion with xawtv to fit xawtv to your desktop res. thanks to video4linux you can run xawtv in real fullscreen mode even under your high desktop resolution ... just add a: Loadv4l to your modules section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and you wont need to switch resolution anymore it will automaticly fit itself to your screen as soon as you go into fullscreenmode if you then set it always on top hop you got a teevee.

I don't know why kde is moving forward with KwinTV ?... I'll try it again like I have done in the past but I always go back to xawtv! FWIW - I run asmix as my volume control (on the KDE desktop), I also use a neat tool called gvidm (on my KDE Toolbar) which lets me easily change resolution (from my normal 1600x200 to 640x480) for full screen TV.

Koi8-r font problems.
I'm having problems using the Koi8-r character set. I'm learning Russian currently so I decided to install the mueller dictionary for dictd. The Mueller dictionary has been installed and working fine trough my own dictd. However, the entries are in Koi8-r format, this shouldn't be a problem because xfstt can generate koi8-r font mappings. So i've modified /etc/init.d/xfstt to generate koi8-r font mappings. If I run xterm -fn '-ttf-courier new-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-m-0-koi8-r', things are working fine, the output of dict word appears in a russian font where necessary. Konsole however doesn't seem to be able to use the koi8-r character set. I use KControl to select the Courier New with koi8-r encoding for Konsole, but it doesn't use that one. When I try to modify the font within Konsole the Courier New koi8-r isn't even there! Other KDE apps like KEdit, Kate aren't working either, when I open a textfile encoded in koi8-r they won't display the Russian characters. Only Konqueror shows them. KDict seems to ignore the Russian characters from dictd alltogether, only squares appear and pasting the output into a hexeditor reveals that all russian characters are translated to 0x00. Does anyone know how this is possible and how to fix it?

(have to get compile kernel?) mpg player noatun? other kde media player? avi player? Hi, are you going to integrate the stuff I wrote? Or is something missing? Just asking :-) Yes, definitely. But I have many other responsibilities right now so I can't take anywhere as much time to devote to this howto as I would like to. Here is a possible way to get your info into the howto more quickly: The howto now has two structural elements semi defined: 1) There is a Contents section that is probably roughly correct 2) There is the Chapter 1) Quick summary of install instructions My general plan at this time is to have my top priority on this howto to be to mainly add very consice install instructions to Ch 1. A secondary priority will be to add some descriptive general comments regarding the whole process, 1st in abbreviated form in Ch 1, and then in more detailed form in the other chapters (which currently mostly havent even had their sections created yet). So many people sent me useful comments in reply to my 1st few questions about what to put in the howto that 1) I haven't had time to get _those_ comments in yet, 2) I haven't even asked on the list about all the other kinds of sw that could fill out the rest of the howto. When I first started this I had a general idea of how it might be written/structured. Now there has occurred an actual specific structure. Essentially, at present, most of the useful stuff in the howto is being written as a _very_ consice set of _exactly_ specific install instructions, with _very_ brief comments on each line, and sometimes a short (1-8 line) description of relevant info set off by semicolons ;. So here is how (I suspect) you, and anyone on the list, might help out this howto at this time: If: you email me the list with a howto suggestion, for the Ch 1 Quick instructions section, that is written in _almost exactly_ the style I have written that section in, which I could copy past into the howto without having to do hardly any editing at all, and it looks useful, consice, informative error free, Then: I think I would be inclined to just copy past your info there, without having to take the time to do the integration consolidation of multiple suggestions that I have been attempting to do in the small amount of time I could acquire to devote to this effort. I think you could definitely accomplish this, Jens, if you desired. I thought your alsa info looked (at first glance) very useful. Reviewing it now, I almost think I could just put it in verbatim. One concern I have is re: (have to get compile kernel?) Not necessarily, you need the kernel sources of your current kernel though (IIRC). Alsa will go into 2.5, so this won't be necessary any more then. Since 2.6 (the stable 2.5) doesn't look to be available in Debian in the next few weeks (obviously, yes?), therefor people will _have to_ compile a kernel to get sound, - correct? If so, I think I need to put in an entire section devoted to that topic. Thus, the sound topic depends on a whole other section being put into the howto. I guess putting in your info would be a start. - One step at a time, that's the approach I'm taking here. Ok, since you bothered to follow up, maybe I'll just put your alsa stuff in there verbatim, without checking it. And then I can refine it later, if necessary, as time permits. Unless you wish to send me a rewrite in the style of Ch 1. [One thing I am not doing now due to time constraints, is even _checking_ my mail folder to see who else sent me stuff related to the topic of your suggestions, let alone thinking how to integrate that stuff with your stuff to make a coherent whole. That shall have to wait for the future.] = So, which do you prefer? Want to edit your suggestion into the format I seem to have evolved for Ch 1? Or, should I just put your last mail into the howto verbatim, with the proviso that it's pending possible editing, when I can make some time available to do that? __ Do You Yahoo!?

See this url for more details: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html If so, that seems an awfully small problem holding up a package with major benefits to installation efficiency, at least. That is _very_ bad, if true. So, what, exaxtly, needs to be done to get the kde metapackage into Woody? ? I am going to be putting meta packages into each source package for kde, so there will be for example a kdelibs package that depends on specific version of kdelibs3, kdelibs-bin, libarts, libarts-kde. That can then be depended on by the kde meta-package. This will keep kde for needing to change, and any time a new package is uploaded (like kdelibs) its meta package will automatically be updated as well. Does this sound good? Chris
