I'm running woody with KDE 2.2.2, by the way.  Celeron 533 with 384 megs
of RAM and a 60G hard drive, if it matters.  

Thanks in advance!

KDE integrated apps freezing up

2003-01-22 Thread Chris Goodwin
I'm having some trouble with at least several of the KDE integrated apps.  

The Home directory browser won't come up at all.  Konqueror and kwrite
will come up, but when I attempt to open a file in either one it
freezes.  Any ideas?  More info needed?  Let me know what to do and I'll
do it.

Yes, I think I'll remove the sid version completely. I'll have enough to do 
when Martin Loschwitz updates the Qt packages in the way that it took us 6 
hours of discussion on IRC today :-/  Then major changes will be ahead of 
resolving another set of conflicts I guess, but this time we'll get the full 
Qt set in a way that developers *and* users can work with the stuff provided 
by Trolltech. And I guess after that is in unstable, one could start 
uploading KDE 3.1 to it

libgcrypt update (and others)

2003-01-22  Ralf Nolden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

 * updated README

I've updated libgcrypt to 1.1.12 as advised by Bernhard Reiter from 
Intevation. The make check process passes the tests, you just need to make 
sure that everything works fine after an update.

The author of the kfli4l program notified me of a security issue, so please 
wait for an update on that before using it.

The README should now be fairly complete except the installation notes for 
OpenPGP and S/MIME and how to import already signed certificates. It would be 
nice if someone could sum that up so I could add that (or I'd have to sum 
that up myself :-)

One question that I have is how does one best start xconsole for the X session 
(not for KDM) ? with a desktop link in the autostart directory ?

Consider this me speaking up :-)  Alsa is highly discouraged by the

I would *definetly* like to have alsa up to par, as it's a pita to kill

Im using unstable fontconfig without problems. I also accidentally upgraded

more packages and sid

2003-01-22 Thread Marcos Dione
it would be great to have kdeaddons, where live some kate plugins
and konqueror ones (and a lot more).

also, I see that sid packages are not being updated. I use Ralf's.
should I switch to Karolina's? or is it that debian didn't switched all
the dependant libs to gcc-3.2? any URL where one can read about the
status?

I don't understand why, but after an apt-get install frozen-bubble it works 
:-)

Very strange, because I have made others apt-get between your packages and 
this one, and THIS one helped.

You are using fontconfig on unstable. That is the root cause of the problem. 
My boss has had the same and I told him to install woody and XFree4.2.1 for 
woody + my packages to have a stable system that allows you to work and not

My colleague Andreas is working on this already. I think we have to provide a

startkde mods: ssh-askpass support and better font handling ;)

2003-01-22 Thread Achim Bohnet
Hi,

FWIW: Appended a patch that adds 3 things to startkde aka kde3:

o Prompt just before ksplash for the passphrase of the
   ssh private keys (tested with a user w/o private keys)

o Do this KDE spezific fonts handling only for local displays
   and not for X-Terminals.  It just makes KDE startup slower.
   (simple case "DISPLAY" in ..  with lots of white space changes)
   Anyone care to check the cvs how often such a patch went
  in and out in debians kde startup script ;)

o My way of dealing with:  kde3 ignores login files.
   source ~/.bash_profile if it exists ;)

Hello Ralf and Benoit (in reply to your new posting),
I am sorry to say that I'm not yet ready to do my piece of documentation 
work about compiling KDE apps under Debian all too soon. A severe cold 
caught me and this week I am struggling to do my daily and mid range 
duties of which some are already overdue. A few days ago it seemed I 
could quickly squeeze in what I had offered earlier in this thread in a 
couple of hours. Now too many other tasks are waiting just around the 
corner.

I would need to get acquainted with docbook format documentation first 
and will not be able to take enough time for all of that within the next 
month or so. If noone else will have undertaken the share I wanted to 
contribute, I will come back to the thing when things lighten up.

Best regards,

2003-01-22 Thread Matthieu Robin
Hi everybody !

I just switched to Ralf's 3.1 packages (sid). They are working perfectly, 
except that only the default (fixed) font is available. In fact, I can choose 
the font I want (the full lists appears), but whatever the one I select, the 
default one is always printing.

It is not related to XF, since my old home-made packages can still display 
every fonts without problem.

If it can help, I found this in my ~/.xsession-errors :

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file


Does anybody know where this problem comes from ?

Thanks a lot,

i know. i have the same. ;)
anyway, that does not mean anything. afaik, /usr/bin/X11/X is the
offcial "entry point". this wrapper program then uses (or does not use)
the symlink depending on the way it was configured with debconf.

feel free to do so. i didn't make the feature official yet, as it is not
really ready (joe user does not like alt-ctrl-Fx ...).

Rerunning ./configure ... should add the YASS="byacc -d" to the
makefiles.

kde3.1 and cups? kprinter hangs!

2003-01-22 Thread Olaf Stetzer
Hello List,

I am happily using the debs from ktown on my Laptop, however,
printing does not work at all! If I try to use kprinter to queue a jow,
the kprinter dialog appears but is not responding to any input.
The list of available printers is empty. Trying to print via lpr (from
cupsys-bsd) everything works fine!

Am I doing something wrong or is cups support not available yet for
kde3.1?

1. add

  allow-user-xsession in /etc/X11/Xsession.options

2. modify your .xsession in the following manner:

  #!/bin/sh
  killall gpg-agent
  eval `/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon`
  exec /usr/bin/kde3

This should do the job.

Maybe a

exec kdialog --password 'give me the mantra'
^D

as another (/etc/)alternative for ssh-askpass  would also.

There's only a suble difference:  On cancel gnome version

This is correct here (exec $REALSTARTUP). I'm trying to make
gpg-agent start on login but this seems more difficult than I
thought.

Putting an

eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)"

into my ~/.xsession does not help. gpg-agent is not running after
login. .xsession is executable.

Then I tried to put a small Script into ~/.kde/Autostart. Now
gpg-agent is running after login, but KDE knows nothing about the
GPG_AGENT_INFO variable (tested with Alt-F2 --> env > /tmp/env.log)

Any hints on how to make that work?

I'm just taking a stab in the dark here but it looks like trying to
compile a .y file (yacc?) with C++ isn't going to work.  I think those are
supposed to be parsed first with yacc and then compiled with C/C++.

It sets a display on reserve without opening it, i.e. it opens it on demand. 
To use the feature, you need to lock your screen. Then you will see a new 
button right from the password input to unlock the screen which says "Start 
new session". Click on that button and it will open a new KDM login on the 
first reserved vt, i.e. on vt8. You can then log in as a different user 
(which is extremely useful in families if you don't want to close your 
session just because your wife bugs you because she wants to play kpat or 
check her mail, also for your kids). To switch between the screens use 
Alt+Ctrl+F7 / F8 / F9 etc.

I can only report what I've seen:  Without reserve all the X server
would be started when kdm starts.   With reserve they are started on request
when you use in the K-menu  'Start New Session' (above 'logout ""' and 
'lock
screen').   It also looks like that the additional xserver is kill after some
timeout when no one is logging in or when one logs out from these additional
screens.

Got my hands dirty and broke my leg (compiling qt-copy)

2003-01-22 Thread J. Woch
Hi folks,
in a pathetic attempt to be useful in some way I decided to dig into KDE 
development. So I broke my leg at the very first step: compiling qt-copy :-)
Doing exactly what README.qt-copy told me, I'm getting this on 
Debian/unstable:

 snip 
...

Since I'm new to nearly everything regarding KDE except using it for 
years, I'm neither able to determine how to isolate the flaw nor where 
to read for further instructions.
Any hints?

Hello Henning,

I just installed k3b. 
The only thing about the packaging that I discovered at first sight, is that 
'k3b setup' is in K-Menu/Applications and that 'k3b' is in 
K-Menu/Multimedia.
cdbakeoven is in K-Menu/Utilities where IMHO cd-burner programs are located 
much better.

Just a note that many have reported konsole crashes using qt 3.1x 
instead of qt 3.0.5x.  Going back to 3.0.5x solved the problem for 
them.  Its still available from the mirrors in .../q/qt-x11-free/

k3b for woody/sarge using kde3.0.X

2003-01-22 Thread Henning Moll
Hello!

I recently packaged 'k3b' (www.k3b.org) for woody and sarge. Now i wonder if
everything's right.
May anybody have a look over it, give it a try?

The packages are available via apt-get:

deb http://www.planet-moll.de/debian woody main

resp.

deb http://www.planet-moll.de/debian sarge main

In both cases the package is called 'k3b'.
Note: The packages are not compiled against KDE2, but KDE3.0.5a (resp.
KDE3.0.4 for sarge), which are available on ftp.kde.org. Yes sure, you know
that...

Any suggestions?

Best regards
Henning

On the matter of ~/.xsession - If you have a look into 

cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start

does it say:

exec $REALSTARTUP

or

exec "$REALSTARTUP"

? The latter is wrong but appeared in some versions of XFree shipped with 
debian AFAIK, but I only have the first one which should work (which is XFree 
4.2.1). If that works for you to change this, I'd add that to the README too.

That means, if you have an AGP aperture size of 32 mb it will take another 32 
mb also  for AGP cards ? Or is that only limited to this calculation ?

I never used 2.2.2 on woody so I don't know what's the specifics there and 
what ssh-askpass-gnome is. Could you come up with more details and an 
explanation what ssh-askpass-gnome is ?
