FW: kde3 & debian & xinerama
This should be posted on debian-kde... Tamas -Original Message- From: Ignacio Solis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 9:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: kde3 & debian & xinerama Hi. This is just a small bug report on the KDE 3.0.3 packages for debian. I just installed them yesterday so I haven't looked too much into the problem to submit a patch or anything. I didn't think this was for debian-devel so you seem to be a good choice to send it to. KDE3 has problems initializing in Xinerama mode. With my kde2 files (already working on xinerama) kde3 starts fine. If I erase .kde and .kderc KDE3 tries to initialize/etc but it doesn't complete. After restarting a few times it almost finishes starting but doesn't initialize completely the panel. If I disable xinerama in X the initialization works fine, but it doesn't let me enable kde-xinerama support. I don't know if this is KDE3 issues or packaging issues, haven't tried other kde3s with xinerama.

There are little chances to get cvsup in middle of week for me unfortunately. Well, in that case I'd prefer sending you the according build files per email that the developers checked in to make it compile again. Even though you can fix issues yourself, you'll never know how it ends up in the real code comitted to CVS later. We'll find a solution to that problem in case we'll hit it, I guess. If compilation breaks and i find solution, i usually send patches to kde-devel. Sure, I don't know what will maintainer do, but it is still better to have slightly broken packages than having no packages at all :). As of sending updates to me by mail... I don't know if this is usable. It is hard to get right revisions to diff, and time of update isn't relevant (there are mirror sync, cvsup <-> cvs and probably other issues). It is probably easier to get cvsup working on weekdays for me. Anyway, i did cvsup today and i am going to build packages. It is quite probable that i'll be able to upload them next week. I'll try to publish them through http, so they can be pulled by you (this will be probably the best solution for me). Beware: the line is synchronous 128kb AFAIK (or 128/64 in worst case), so download speed won't be very impressive :(. I don't know if my last mail made it into your mailbox (the perl filter script) - i had some trouble with mozilla mail (i'm mailing from windoze box... this is very unfortunate). I ran into one problem with the script though. In KDE, binaries have two parts: /usr/bin binary and /usr/lib .so file. The kdelibs-bin includes (as expected) both for every app. This means i cannot filter on /usr/bin to get file-list for such package. Probably the best solution is to enumerate binary file names (as in (?:bin1|bin2|binx)). It will be handy to allow variable substitution in filter control file. Is there any standard way of definining such variables inside of control file? If not, is something like Var-(varname): blah acceptable? This means all leading/trailing whitespace will be trimmed from variable. cheers yenar - -- We're not a company, we just produce better code at less costs. - Ralf Nolden [EMAIL PROTECTED] The K Desktop Environment The KDevelop Project http://www.kde.org http://www.kdevelop.org -- --- inetname: Yenar Calentaure realname: Peter Rockai mail: yenar(at)host.sk homepage: http://yenar.host.sk --- The universe is entering maintenance mode in 2 minutes.

That package doesn't exist anymore and we're fixing the issue :-) I can't remember why the games should depend on anything from kdebase being installed to make them run, therefore it's very weird to have a runtime, mind, not a build-dependency on a kdebase-package.

Hi, I am setting up a CVS tree on my PC based on the CVS at kde.org, to track down visually any changes in KDE_3_0_BRANCH with ViewCVS 0.9.2. Is it possible at all to create on my local machine the same CVS organization at kde.org for ease of viewing/retrieving ? What I mean: KDE_3_0_3_RELEASE under the menu "-Non-branch tags-", KDE_3_0_BRANCH under the menu "Branches". They also have MAIN and HEAD under "-Non-branch tags-", how they obtained that is a true mistery to me :-) Can someone please spell me the cvs commands to obtain this results ?

Tips on launching KDE applications
Hello I have noticed that since I upgraded to KDE 3.0.3, all tips, which appear when one launches an application, generate an extremely large window which goes from one border of the screen to the other withouth wrapping the text. At first I thought it was a translation problem, but it also happens in english and with all applications. Anybody has experienced this same problem? Is this a Debian ony problem?

I have both an OpenOffice.org menu and the individual components are
sprinkled about the menu (like writer in editors). I would think the the
folks on debian-openoffice would know the answer to your question.
good luck.
