I've had the same problem.

After you logout ctl-alt-f1 and log in as root.
~#ps -A |grep kde

~#/etc/init.d/kdm restart

I've found that there was something always left hanging around and that even
after I killed it I couldn't get back in unless I restarted kdm.

The other symptom that I've found the same thing fixes is when file_save_as

Do what I just did if you're using woody (as I presume you are, it's

compile it on your woody system. It works perfectly for me so far as I 
can tell. I also removed the mysql/pgsql/odbc crap too as I'm unlikely 
to ever use it. (just remove those sections from the debian/control and 
debian/rules files).

Get the three source packages off http://packages.debian.org and unpack 
with the command:

dpkg-source -x foo.dsc
Make any changes necessary to debian/control or debian/rules, and as 
regular user run:

dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
Have a cup of tea, and hey presto, you have woody qt packages. I just 
mentioned in my package descriptions what I'd done, to differentiate it 
from the stock debian packages. Likewise, I've been busy compiling i686 
optimized kde3 packages in the same manor, it's really dead easy :) No 
more packageless files scattered everywhere. Oh, before compiling kde I 
built vorbis/lame packages in the same manor. iirc the vorbis ones come

kdm trouble

2002-09-15 Thread Frank Van Damme

Yo,

as most people here (no? :) ) I'm running kde 3.0.2, and I try to use kdm 
*hrm*. The problem is, as soon as it starts up, a file /etc/nologin is made 
which seems to prohibit normal mortal users to log in. Moreover, it kills all 
the console login screens. So I can only log in via kdm and as root. And then 
delete that file, logout again, login as normal user. I can only get my 
consoles back by doing an init 3 as root.

The most rational solution would be to just dump kdm and start x with startx 
-- :pickyournumber . But I need kdm, since I also use a small p133 to remote 
boot to this box - so it needs a display manager, so I need kdm, period :-) 

If anyone knows a solution or a workaround, reply. thx.

KMail Only Works Once Per Session

I'm running KDE 3.1 beta and have noticed something very strange with KMail -- 
It will only download mail _once_ per KDE session.  If I try to fetch mail 
again, it does nothing.

I must log out of KDE and log back in to fetch my mail.  Once.  Then I have to 
repeat the process if I want more mail.  I don't know if sending mail is 
affected, but my bets would be open.

qt-copy packaging updates

Hi!
It looks like qt-copy in kde cvs is orphaned debian-wise. I keep it 
mostly up to date on my harddrive, so i can send patches if someone is 
interested.

Chris, could you commit my patches to cvs if i bring them into better 
shape (they work only with qt-mt right now)? Or is there better 
packaging available somewhere (IIRC sid has new libqt packages).

KDE debs building

2002-09-15 Thread Ralf Nolden
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

as some of you got to know until now, I switched from SuSE to Debian this week 
- - and directly hit the fact that building debs from CVS would work best for 
me to have it working the right way (tm). Now, I got into working with Chris 
lately and we try to fix the issues one by one soon now so that everyone can 
build debs himself but more important, provide debs for KDE constantly that 
work, where also most importantly betas, RC's and finals are provided by the 
day that the packages are build and work optimal on Debian.

The other thing is that third party apps need to be compiled if you like to 
use them. Until now several people do that for the apps they like to run or 
that they are developing using debian as their development platform. The 
problem for the users is that the deb lines for sources.list are spread all 
over and there is no central way of getting the newest apps through debs for 
people that are not necessarily developers like we are. The other thing is 
that as developers, just doing a make install would work but that usually 
messes up our systems, especially as KDE has /usr as its prefix on debian. So 
it would be the best if we could somehow collect our resources and schedule 
building debs and providing them in a central place. 

I talked with Dirk Müller already and some other guys that I use to work with 
at KDE and we should provide that possibility through KDE on ftp.kde.org. 
Wether that will work out just depends on how many people would volunteer to 
participate.

If you're interested, let's come together to finally end this messy system 
where there's certain problems with building debs for us and the KDE users 
using debian, it would surely make things a *lot* easier if we organize 
ourselves and coordinate doing things efficiently.

Thanks for your attention and for volunteering :-)

I'd like to help. I build most of the debs on regular basis (each 
weekend) but unfortunately i'm seriously limited bandwidth-wise. I can 
provide patches to compile my favorite parts of kde on woody, though.
Another thing is that qt-copy packaging in cvs is abandoned. I have 
working Qt 3.1 beta 1 mt packages, and i'll probably extend packaging to 
build non-mt versions, too. If someone could apply to cvs, i'd be glad :).

I'm definitely interested, but need someone to push my patches to cvs 
and to build debs for download. I can't work in kde cvs (i use cvsup due 
to internet connection issues) and have no write access anyway.

If you are interested, i have mostly-working set of scripts to make 
building kde debs easier. This mostly consists of:
./build package
something breaks, fix it
./build2 package (will continue where build stopped)
ah, it completed this time
(cd ..  ./apt-archive)
./mkdiff package (will create patch from your changes)
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
(or apt-get install if you compile for first time)

It needs quite a lot of space on harddrive and isn't particularly smart, 
but it works for me (tm). mkdiff doesn't work with qt-copy right now, 
but i'll fix that asap.

Thanks for your attention and for volunteering :-)

Fwd: Re: KDE debs building

2002-09-15 Thread Charles de Miramon

Hi Ralf,
Sorting the 'mess'of KDE packages on Debian will be a very nice 
achievement.
I would just like to point a specific problem for the KDE translators. When,
like now, we are working on KDE 3.1, we need to have a CVS version of KDE to
check the new applications and see in context the strings to be translated.
Translators are generally not developpers, have slow computers, and not the
skill to compile from CVS.
For our use, Macolu (http://matthieu.robin.free.fr/linux/) has created 
some
debs of KDE CVS version that can be installed side by side with a stable KDE
in /opt/kde3cvs. You have to create a special user to use these debs and can
use on the same box a stable and a experimental KDE.
I think it would be nice and very useful to have a system like that 
that can
create experimental snapshots debs of KDE (with names like kdebase-CVS,
etc...) and generate stable debs when a new stable version comes out.
By this way, Debian could become the reference distribution for the 
people
(artists, translators, people writing documentation, bughunters, etc.) that
need bleeding edge KDE but are unable or unwilling to compile from CVS.

Cheers,
Charles

 with Chris lately and we try to fix the issues one by one soon now so that
 everyone can build debs himself but more important, provide debs for KDE
 constantly that work, where also most importantly betas, RC's and finals
 are provided by the day that the packages are build and work optimal on
 Debian.


Fantastic

 The other thing is that third party apps need to be compiled if you like to
 use them. Until now several people do that for the apps they like to run or
 that they are developing using debian as their development platform. The
 problem for the users is that the deb lines for sources.list are spread all
 over and there is no central way of getting the newest apps through debs
 for people that are not necessarily developers like we are. The other thing
 is that as developers, just doing a make install would work but that
 usually messes up our systems, especially as KDE has /usr as its prefix on
 debian. So it would be the best if we could somehow collect our resources
 and schedule building debs and providing them in a central place.

Still not sure why KDE and these apps can't seem to make it into the formal 
debian unstable (and then the more stable) archive and mirrors, but 
apparently not - so ...



 I talked with Dirk Müller already and some other guys that I use to work
 with at KDE and we should provide that possibility through KDE on
 ftp.kde.org. Wether that will work out just depends on how many people
 would volunteer to participate.


A good alternative - especially if you could set it up so that it had 
different sections for stable, unstable and development (or something) so 
that we could chose what.

I am not sure how I could participate - I do have an always on, lightly used 
server supporting my family at home at the end of a cable modem, but my 
acceptable use conditions require that it is not used as a public server 
other than for a limited (10) password controlled connections.  I could 
perhaps do some regular builds (Its only a p2 400 with 128MB Ram, but it has 
loads of disk space).

As for my time, I am travelling abroad (from the UK) between 3 and 4 days a 
week, so that pretty much limits what I could do.  I am trying to do some 
light coding or bug fixing offline in the evenings when I am away - but last 
weeks attempt was feeble, I managed only an hour (working late and then 
eating seems to grab most of the time).  I could devote a bit more when I am 
at home.

Re: Quanta

2002-09-15 Thread Richard Ibbotson
Hi

   You may want to try installing libqt3-mt-dev.  Worked for me. 
 You may also need to install kdelibs4-dev if memory serves me
 correctly...

  If anyone knows of a way to get Quanta to build on KDE 3.0.3 from
  source I'd be interested in hearing about it.  My own attempt at
  installation from source ends when I get the following error
  message after running './configure' ..


Got hold of libqt3-mt-dev.  That did a lot of good.  Now the error 
message says ..

 checking for mcopidl ... not found
configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found !  
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly.

Done a search on mcopidl and aRts but nothing conclusive came up on 
the screen in front of me.  What next ?

Re: KDE debs building

2002-09-15 Thread Macolu
I don't understand... Is kde3 not supposed to come into the official 
unstable/testing when the switch to gcc3.2 is done ? This should stop this 
mess. Why create another area ?
Or will there be no/not enough people for maintaining kde when it comes into 
sid ?





minimal debian installation as a DSL router

2002-09-15 Thread Michael Schmitz
Hi,

I'm planning to use a small debian installation as a router for dsl.
Can you give me hints about valuable sources of information for such an issue? 
(in english or german language)
I've tried the fli4l project which is really great, but in the end it lets 
some of the potential of my hardware unnused and therefore I want to  try 
debian.

Thank you very much in 
Michael

I'm using debian right now as a router/server. Works great.

If you are experienced and have linux, then either use jigdo or the
xfs-net install cds from debian. If you want something quick and easy try
the libranet cd.

I'm willing to answer more detailed questions, but basically, download and
burn iso, put cd into computer, and boot from cd. The questions are fairly
easy, if you know about linux and networking.

If you can't download a cd, then buy one from cheapbytes.

I am pretty sure you would get more help if you posted to
debian-user@lists.debian.org instead of debian-kde. This ML is read

Hi Yenar,

thanks for your kind and quick answer - I've got CVS write access, so does 
Chris. We'll be glad to take any patches and put them into CVS that would 
help automate the build process. I myself have a DSL line so up/download is 
not an issue for me; I could also use the 2mbit line in the company I work 
for now. 

Also, like Charles de Miramon pointed out, we should take care of daily or at 
least weekly builds from CVS that can be installed side by side of a stable 
environment for the translators and doc writers who need a recent KDE from 
CVS but can't/won't want to go through the development process.

 /me has to agree.

  I talked with Dirk Müller already and some other guys that I use to work

  ftp.kde.org. Wether that will work out just depends on how many people
  would volunteer to participate.

 I'd like to help. I build most of the debs on regular basis (each
 weekend) but unfortunately i'm seriously limited bandwidth-wise. I can
 provide patches to compile my favorite parts of kde on woody, though.
 Another thing is that qt-copy packaging in cvs is abandoned. I have
 working Qt 3.1 beta 1 mt packages, and i'll probably extend packaging to
 build non-mt versions, too. If someone could apply to cvs, i'd be glad :).

  If you're interested, let's come together to finally end this messy
  system where there's certain problems with building debs for us and the
  KDE users using debian, it would surely make things a *lot* easier if we
  organize ourselves and coordinate doing things efficiently.

 I'm definitely interested, but need someone to push my patches to cvs
 and to build debs for download. I can't work in kde cvs (i use cvsup due
 to internet connection issues) and have no write access anyway.

 If you are interested, i have mostly-working set of scripts to make
 building kde debs easier. This mostly consists of:
 ./build package
 something breaks, fix it
 ./build2 package (will continue where build stopped)
 ah, it completed this time
 (cd ..  ./apt-archive)
 ./mkdiff package (will create patch from your changes)
 apt-get update
 apt-get upgrade
 (or apt-get install if you compile for first time)

 It needs quite a lot of space on harddrive and isn't particularly smart,
 but it works for me (tm). mkdiff doesn't work with qt-copy right now,
 but i'll fix that asap.

  Thanks for your attention and for volunteering :-)

 Thanks for nice initiative.

  Ralf
