You will probably find it works well with either postscript or truetype fonts, and badly with the other (i forget which way round). Printing to file makes no difference as the same postscript is still generated. Kword has been plagued by problems with its printing system, most of which have been cleared up. If your not using the latest version it would definately be worth upgrading. I personally have always found openoffice.org to be better (albeit slower and less kde integrated) than koffice, in terms of features and reliability. Although it does need some LD_PRELOAD= and interface font changes before it works well for me. Tom

It started as an exercise to learn how to build debs, but, as is the way of these things, it all became a bit of a trial. First I was doing it on a debian/sarge machine but discovered I had build dependencies on packages in unstable (so I have ended up building a complete debian unstable configuration inside a chroot environment on this machine so as not to disturb its operation). Then I had to wrestle with libxml that failed (2.4.24 was apparently ok - but by then I had already upgraded to a later release so it wasn't unitl 2.4.28 that it worked again), various dependancies on automake, but needing automake1.5, and a problem I discovered today when I started to rebuild from the rc5 tarballs (libdb2-dev is a dependency for kdelibs - but at least another package I build must have required a dependency on libdb3-dev because that is installed in my chroot environment. I thought that gcc might also help kde apps to start faster - but that might not be true. Anyway, I think it is too late to revert now - I don't intend to do much more as I expect the real 3.1 packages to come fairly soon now anyway. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE99PXduFHxcV2FFoIRAjXNAJ99/LgVDrMrw5U53L8Fs7NrOEMc8gCeKnwt 7u97HjadRfl8Z+oddjAsvG8= =IfkX -END PGP SIGNATURE-

About this topic, I would say my opinion, and listen to other's. [1] Compiling QT3 with gcc 3.2 means to loose the OpenGL support. This isn't a terrible thing, tough, because most people doesn't need it, but [2] A couple of days ago QT3's maintainer reverted his debian dir to gcc 2.95, stripping all "c" from package's names that needed it. This means that you can't upgrade your QT3 without redoing all of the debian dir by yourself. [3] After RC5 release (KDE_3_1_BRANCH) a couple of bug-fixes where applied to QT3, and probably much more will come in the near future. I will have no problem at all downloading the code and compiling it out-of-the-box, but people using gcc 3.2 will have. So, IMMO it's better to build KDE3 using gcc 2.95 right now, and wait for the gcc's transition to start and the maintainers to update their debian dirs accordingly. In the end, I built KDE3 on a very low-end system, an AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mhz, using very strong optimizations (-O3 -march=k6 -ffast-math -fstrict-aliasing -malign-functions=4) and it's FAST and stable :-) Just my opinion, any feedback will be appreciated.

Miscellaneous issues
Howdi, I've rtfa'd, but can't find much info on these issues that are currently confusing / annoying me. I'm using kde 3.0.3 debs, with a mostly sarge, partly sid, system. Kernel 2.4.19 (custom), and using KDE natively on XFree 4 as well as via VNC. Mostly I work around problems I find, but building a box from scratch for the girlfriend recently highlighted a lot of things I'd never noticed before. I'm hoping someone can help with at least one of these. :) Multiple X consoles. I made the changes in /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers file, and set it up for three consoles. When a user logs in and then selects Logout/Shutdown, the machine hangs .. *until* I Ctrl-Alt-F? to another kdm-controlled X console, which then partly starts up, and lets the machine shut down. Weird. Can I make kdm properly start all three kdm login screens at boot? (It only seems to start the X server, showing the NVidia splash screen, when you switch to a different console.) And, of course, sometimes the whole console just refuses to talk to me after I do a shutdown or login-as-diff-user, but for some reason I find that kind of bug easier to deal with. kppp. Never used this before, but gosh it's damned sexy. Couldn't get it to connect for anything other than root, though, despite dig and dialout group membership. Ended up setting suid-root on /usr/bin/kppp (previously suid-group (dip)). Weird, because the pppd daemon was definitely spawning as root. Tried to set the noauth stuff in /etc/ppp and also in kppp, but the former was ignored, and the latter gave an error that we didn't have perms to do it (unless we were root). CD burning. Arson seems the best of breed, as far as aesthetics go, but it gets mighty confused with my ide-scsi sg0 cdrom device (AOpen 32x). gcombust gets further, but it's a less consistent UI. Arson's lack of data-burning functionality is a bit weird. What do most Debian / KDE3 users use? (I'd normally use mkiso / cdrecord in konsole, but the girly's not really into the CLI ... yet. ;) Browsing (file). Maybe it's an MS-ism, but opening the sub-dirs in the lefthand pane doesn't scroll the pane up (to reveal the bit that you just descended into). Is that normal? Configurable? Printing m's. I *think* this is a KWord issue. When printing to my HP LaserJet 1200, the rightspace on m's is missing, so every m runs into the next character. Printing from kedit (f.e.) doesn't show this problem. Anyone else seeing this? PDF's. kghostview barfs on pretty much any pdf I throw at it, but gv copes with the same file(s), which is particularly weird. Anyone else seeing this with kghostview .v. gv? xmms-arts. It doesn't seem to be available as a deb with kde3, or am I missing something obvious? There's a several second delay after trying to start an mp3 file with xmms. I installed the custom deb for xmms-kde, which is also damned sexy, but it's just a front-end so didn't affect this problem. I'm sure there was an arts-output for xmms in the kde2 debs . . . (?). file .v. web konqing -- I'm sure I used to have the 'home' button configured to take me to ~ when doing file-browsing, and to take me to http://localhost when doing web-browsing, in earlier versions of the deb's for KDE. Is this a lost feature now? konq-web peculiarities. I've seen others mention some sites that they get bad performance on -- for me it's www.theregister.co.uk, which is strange because they're pretty pro-GNU/Linux. I get really slow loads on what are mostly text pages, and about half the time I get pages devoid of text. Do others get this with them, or is the problem at my end? home/end key mapping - on VNC this works fine, doing shift-end to select to end of line. On direct console (different machine, same set of deb's) shift-end on the numeric keypad just shows a '1'. I think I saw something about this, but googling on the relevant keywords is less than satisfying. Cheers, Jedd.
Re: Konq slows in long sessions
OK, that is strange. Right after I send the message, Konqi starts behaving. It might have something to do with uninstalling the konqplugins, which I did a few minutes earlier. Or maybe it's just a case of bugs disappearing when you try to tell someone about them :-} _mws_ On Monday 09 December 2002 05:51 am, Matt Sheffield wrote: > I recently upgraded to KDE 3.0.5 and am now finding that after my KDE > session has lasted about 2 or 2.5 hours, Konqueror begins halting for about > a half-second when I navigate to directories or refresh the display of a > directory.

Konq slows in long sessions
I recently upgraded to KDE 3.0.5 and am now finding that after my KDE session has lasted about 2 or 2.5 hours, Konqueror begins halting for about a half-second when I navigate to directories or refresh the display of a directory. I notice no inordinate processor use and all my other apps seem to be responding just normally (including KDE ones). I started konqueror from the console and see no error messages, either. Thanks for any help on this point. _mws_

In CVS there is a heavy activity around KMail to merge in HEAD the enhancements of the Kroupware project and of Don Sanders Make-it-cool branch (the Kaplan stuff). For the time being, it looks a bit broken but maybe in a few weeks you could try to compile. Charles -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kde-france.org

Re: KPP always dies
I don't mind wvdial one bit, however, I cannot expect my users to run it. KPPP is much more like what they are accustomed to with Windows. _mws_ On Sunday 08 December 2002 07:15 pm, Nick Boyce wrote: > On Fri, 6 Dec 2002 08:33:42 -0500, Matt Sheffield wrote: > >On my Libranet Woody system, KPP will faithfully connect to the Internet > > but proceeds to disconnect after about 2 seconds. > > > >I am able to connect with Libranet's LPPP app as well as wvdial so there > > isn't a hardware problem. > > I'm interested to know why you don't just stick with (K)wvdial - I use > it, and it does everything I _think_ I could ever want from a dialer > (and it's *so* easy to use ..). > > Is there some wonderful feature of Kppp that I'm missing out on ? > > TIA, > > Nick Boyce > Bristol, UK
