Problems with KDE
Hi. I have KDE 2.2.2 on my computer and (nearly) everything works just fine. Eccept for 2 things: 1) I can click on the DVD icon, it mounts and tries to start konqueror, but konqueror does not open! 2) Using konqueror for webbrowsing, it often uses too small fontswhich I cannot change! I found out: In Control Center/Country Language I cannot enter a charset, the line is always empty. I also can't do this in konqueror. These functions 1) click icon 2) use the right size for Fonts and the line in charset do work, using another user. But as my computer is used as a one-person-pc I have a very nice userenvironment and it would take very long to put everything into the another profile. If I would just copy every file I think I would also copy the errors which occur. I think the problem can be solved by changing something in /home/user/.kde, but I don't know that much about KDE to know what to do. Has anyone an idea? Thank you very much and regards Markus
kde 3.* in sid will it ever happen?
Is there any light in the tunnel for kde3 being uploaded in Sid some day, some year or so? I might be sounding a bit negative but haven't seen any progress or some sort of status from the maintaineres for some while now.. Is it still the transition to gcc 3.X that slows debians progress to be a useful desktop system? Cheers /Robert

Re: kde 3.* in sid will it ever happen?
Sorry for the empty mess. Geezzz I know. But as you state yourself it's not in SID, it for sure works with SID but it's official packages, even though that the packages you are refering to are mostly created by the package maintenars for kde in debian. What is holding back kde3 from being uploaded in SED then? I don't want to go on a apt-get find the right apt-get lines for today crusade. I don't want to go find packages in some rpm-findish way. I whant them in my standard apt-get lines, like the way all other packages are maintained. . Geez you can get the packages easily for sid. Even kde has the packages hosted and did from the moment kde 3.0.3 came out and kde 3.0.1-3.0.2 has been available for a while now and the locations have been publicized in a number of locations. Just add the apt lines and install it. I have been running kde 3.0.x in debian sid for a while now without any problems.

Logout, Shutdown, Reboot
Hi! I use KDE 2.2.2 and when I choose Logout, it asks if I really want to logout but there is no options to choose shutdown or reboot, too. I can do shutdown or reboot only from KDM. How can I configure KDE to ask me at logout if I want logout, shutdown, or reboot? I couldn't find such a setting in KDE Control Center, but I do know that it is possible because I saw it in another distribution (Mandrake Linux). Thanks, GregTom

RE: kde 3.* in sid will it ever happen?
Though I wouldn't know from experience, by most accounts I've heard KDE 3.x has several advantages over KDE 2.x, speed and stability being two. Of course, the improved eye candy doesn't hurt either (so much for speed! LOL). You raise some good points. I am quite productive in KDE 2.2.2, but many of the applications I am using have moved to KDE 3.x, and as such I don't get bug fixes and/or new features since KDE 3 isn't yet in sid. I am definitely a non-geek end-user type, with a strong ethical commitment to Free software, which is why I turned to Debian in the first place. I would love to run LibraNet, but they seem to want to not have users, since they don't allow downloads of their latest versions. This seems contrary to the spirit of the GPL to me (though it is apparently within the 'letter of the law') :-( I agree that I don't relish going back to RedHat, but it looks to me that RH8 may have what I need as an end-user type.

KDevelop and documentation for KDE and QT, How?
Hello, I am running KDevelop 2.1.3, and I miss the KDE library documentation at the left navigation panel. In former versions, I could unfold a tree with the list of classes for QT and KDE. Now I can only browse the QT documentation form the centralpanel. I have also installed htdig, and doxygen. For the first one I have followed the instructions in /usr/share/doc/kdevelop/README-htdig.Debian and the search engine works fine. I have read in this list that doxygen is necessary for the documentation, but I am unsuccesfull browsing the documentatino form KDevelop. I even select the path where the documentation for KDE is, but KDevelop does not recongnize the directory as valid. Thanks in advance Pablo de Vicente.

Of course, the improved eye candy doesn't hurt either (so much for speed! LOL). I am running KDE 3.1 on debian sid, and it is nice and stable, and the speed is good, but I honestly don't believe that the desktop environment is faster as a whole - individual applications, like Konqueror's HTML rendering speed, yes, - but the overall 'snappiness' and memory usage is (AFAICT) about the same as 2.2. You raise some good points. I am quite productive in KDE 2.2.2, but many of the applications I am using have moved to KDE 3.x, and as such I don't get bug fixes and/or new features since KDE 3 isn't yet in sid. Yup. This is one of the reasons I moved up also. I am definitely a non-geek end-user type, with a strong ethical commitment to Free software, which is why I turned to Debian in the first place. I would love to run LibraNet, but they seem to want to not have users, since they don't allow downloads of their latest versions. This seems contrary to the spirit of the GPL to me (though it is apparently within the 'letter of the law') :-( The spirit of the GPL is not to give away software for free. That's free as in free beer. The spirit of the GPL is that the source is always included, and you can do what you like with your own software. That's free as in freedom. I agree that I don't relish going back to RedHat, but it looks to me that RH8 may have what I need as an end-user type. But I would certainly miss apt-get. IMHO, RedHat is not more bleeding-edge than Debian. They're just crazy enough to release software that still has major bugs - that the upstream (the folks who work on individual projects like Gnome, KDE, E, gcc, etc.) are issuing warnings about. I'd rather have a stable OS that works as it should than one that looks really cool if and when it runs. That's why most ex-windoze linux users converted to using Linux, right? For the stability. IMNSHO, the RedHat Package Manager is far less powerful and flexible than Debian's dpkg. Forcing users to go searching for RPM's that may or may not have that dependency you need to compile/run an important program is idiocy. The situation is worsened because of all the RPM's that are built by upstream authors who may or may not adhere to the FSH and the LSB. Heck, Suse is different enough from RedHat to cause wierd problems with some distributor-inspecific RPMs. My point is that Debian has FAR more pro's than con's. It will install and run on more architectures than many distributions, and if you stick with the potato or woody distribution, you are almost guaranteed that your software will run flawlessly. Sure, the version may be 2.2 instead of 3.1, but that will be ameliorated when gcc-3.2 enters unstable/sid. Don't get discouraged - and if you need more 'bleeding edge' unstable/sid, take a look at http://www.golum.org/aptgetlinks.shtml. That is my local LUG homepage, where we have published some of the more popular 'unofficial' apt-getables. Just add the lines indicated to your /etc/apt/sources.list and dist-upgrade. When the unofficial packages enter sid, just remove the line. It doesn't get much easier than that.

I've noticed that a few people here are signing messages with keys that are not published. If your key is not in the major key servers then there's no point in signing a message to a public list. It just wastes bandwidth. There are two good solutions to this problem, one is to not sign the message, the other is to upload your key. Both solutions are easy to implement. -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
