Index setup in KDE 3.1.1

2003-04-04 Thread Terry Milnes



Does anyone know how to setup the index in KDE 
3.1.1?  Is it just the file created after I run rundig? Or is it something 
else?  TIA!

KDE passwords for FISH protocol

2003-04-04 Thread Peter Nome

I've just set up LISa in KDE 3.1.1 and use it with great success on my local 
network. 

At one point, I typed in the wrong password during a FISH session, and checked 
the 
"Remember password" box. Now I can't get in -- I don't know where LISa (or 
Konqueror?) stores the passwords. Generally the storing between sessions is a 
great 
feature, but in this case it keeps me permanently out!

This may be an ssh problem, but I can access the remote system using ssh and 
sftp 
with no problem; it's just the fish protocol that's using the stored password. 

Silly problem this; I just need to know the location of a file. Of course it 
would be 
nice if LISa/Konqueror gave you some way to work around this situation!

Please cc: me as I'm not subscribed.

Cheers,
Peter




libopenal problems.

2003-04-04 Thread Doug Holland
As many people know, the update from libvorbis0 to libvorbis0a broke a lot of 
things.  Most of them are fixed, but I'm still waiting for an update to 
libopenal0, since a lot of games depend on that package, and are 
uninstallable because libopenal0 depends on the old libvorbis0.

From what I've read on the libopenal0 bug reports, a fix is in the works.  Is 
there any ways that this can be fast-tracked so I can put my treasured games 
back on my system?  /me is impatient.




kdemultimedia-dev versus libmpeg-dev

2003-04-04 Thread Nick Leverton
I'm running Ralf's KDE3.1 on Woody, and I want the ability to build
packages on it.  So I need kdemultimedia-dev.  I also want to be able to
track gimp1.3 for my wife, so I need libmpeg-dev as a dependency from
that.  Unfortunately kdemultimedia-dev names it as 'conflicts', so I
can't do both !  Is there any way to resolve this, please ?

DCOPserver problem with user

2003-04-04 Thread Michael S Daines
I just set up my laptop recently, and I'm having trouble getting KDE to work 
for my user account.  It works fine, however, as root.  When I try to startx as 
a user, I get the following error message:

# There was an error setting up inter-process
# communication for KDE. The message returned
# by the system was:
#
# Could not read network connection list.
# /home/daines/.DCOPserver_(none)_:0
#
# Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!

"daines" is the name of my user account.  I have my suspicions that this 
problem may be related to something else, since I cannot get apache to start, 
either.  The "(none)" is what makes me think this.  I don't have any idea how 
to go about fixing it, though.

I haven't been running GNU/Linux for a couple years now because I haven't owned 
a computer (except the two at work!), so treat me like a relative newbie when 
giving me direction.

Thanx,
msd

Use group cdrom.  Hopefully next Debian release will chgrp the cdrom/rw

The more I think about it, the less enamoured I am with Debian's system
of allocating permissions anyway.  I noticed this morning that in order
to grant permission to my users to use the cdrom device I had two
choices:

1) grant them membership to the "disk" group, clearly a bad idea
2) change the group on /dev/hdc to "audio".

Hmm, I never did so under konqueror. I was just brainstorming all the

In enscript, you edit:

A good place for these is bugs.kde.org, as I know for a fact that the main 
KMail developers (Don, Ingo, Marc) don't read this list.  You will also find 
out that (as you suspected) most of these have been noticed by other people, 
so you can 'vote' for your most pressing wishlist item or bugfix (rather than 
creating dupe bug reports, which will just be closed).

I don't really know what you're talking about here. It remembers whatever font 
I set it to in the 'Appearance'.  Are you sure you mean composer?

Well, you would need to have custom fonts to make composer use a fixed font 
(iirc).  But this seems much more like a X server/font issue than KMail.

No, it doesn't.  I tend to use a click/shift-click to select a bunch of 
messages, then delete them all at once.  IMAP is one of the places that KMail 
has lagged, but it is also one of the places that it has gotten better by 
leaps and bounds with each release.

>  Wishlist feature: newsreader-like 'ignore thread' functionality.

I'm confident there is such a wishlist feature.  Find it and vote.  I can tell 
you from experience that the KDE devs pay attention to that list, as client 
side imap filtering is being (has been?) implemented for 3.2 by Don soley 
based on that.

I get inline display of jpegs.  Maybe it uses kview? Sorry, don't know.  A 
'don't ask again' has been implemented in HEAD, iirc.

If you do a lot of keyboard reading, you can bind 'view source' to a key, and 
just use alt-f4 when done.  Not what you were asking for, but better than a 
lot of mousing.

This is at least partially implemented.  I recall being able to set 'always 
encrypt to this recipient', the last time I tried.  HTML and 'don't sign' are 
not.

Make sure that you use the flash6 plugin. If flash6 does not help (AFAIK it 
does not have this bug anymore), maybe you can use an alsa driver that allows 
multi-open? (depends on your sound card)
If nothing of the above helps, go to the konqueror setting, there go to 
"plugins" and there again to card "plugins". There you have a check box that 
enables artsdsp for netscape plugins.

KDE 3.1.1: audio group, pam.d?

2003-04-04 Thread Albert Schueller
Hi,

I just upgraded from the stock kde (woody) to kde 3.1.1 from kde.org.
Things went pretty smoothly.  There's one hitch however.  Right now,
ordinary users aren't able to access /dev/dsp so they get no sound.

The "right" way to resolve this is using /etc/pam.d/kdm and
/etc/security/group.conf.

In /etc/pam.d/kdm I added the line:

 auth   optional pam_group.so

in /etc/security/group.conf I added the line:

 kdm;*;*;Al-2400;audio

This setup actually works.  When a user logs in they are temporarily
added to the audio group and sound works.  My problem is with the second
field which represents the tty that the user is logged in under.  For
kdm from the console this is ":0".  If I use this for the tty field
instead of the wildcard "*", users don't get added to the audio group
and there's no sound.  I tried escaping the colon, e.g. \:0, but that
actually causes a complete failure to login using kdm.  I tried both
"*:0" and ":0*" Thinking there might be leading or trailing whitespace
in the tty name, neither worked.  

I don't like using the wildcard because I don't want remote users
dumping sound to the audio device.

I wish I had looked at this stuff BEFORE I upgraded to 3.1.1 since the
2.2 audio was working and I assume it used the same method.

If someone is still running 2.2 or has this working in 3.1.1 could you
let me know how this stuff is accomplished?

Thanks,

Albert

"menu" was (and is) already installed, but the debian menus aren't there.

I presume an

 apt-get install menu --reinstall

would probably fix it, but haven't tried (yet).

Kmail (review and feature wishes)

2003-04-04 Thread Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder
Yo!

Posted here since I guess some of the kde upstream folks read this list, too. 
Many of these probably covered somewhere else, too, so please forgive me.

Several things have made me switch from gnome to KDE, so I've installed 
various things and am now relatively happy. For one thing, konqueror appears 
much faster than galeon, so that alone is something...

I was using evolution unitl now, and have now switched to kmail, here my first 
comments: (Oh, yes: kmail 1.5.1, with the PGP/MIME plugin (but you saw that) 
- thanks to Ralf for providing the debs, the woody debs run just fine on my 
mixed sarge/sid system).

 Why can the composer not remember that I want it to display the message in 
fixed font? (I assume this is already being corrected in upstream)

 A small bug (I doubt I'm the first to notice this, either): quoted text is 
shown in a bigger font than unquoted text. Screenshot (what's a small kde app 
for taking them?) at http://fortytwo.ch/~avbidder/kmail-quoting.png (Oh, yes: 
I'm *not* using custom fonts, but the fonts of the global KDE config).

 Does kmail support a 'display deleted messages as strike-through' mode? 
Problem: in mailing list folders, while scanning the subject lines, I delete 
messages much faster than kmail can update the display (I'm using IMAP over 
an 256/64 connection, so fetching the next message takes its time). Deleting 
articles that fast does weird things, including making kmail crash 
occasionally (this could also be related because displaying a message takes 
its time whin kmail is autoverificating a gpg signature).

 Wishlist feature: newsreader-like 'ignore thread' functionality.

 Likely to be a misconfiguration or missing software package: it doesn't 
display attachments (simple ones, like jpgs etc.) inline. Wishlist (that's 
not in kmail, though, as far as I understand): a [ ] do not ask for this MIME 
type again check box when launching an application to view an attachment.

 Matter of taste: I don't like that kmail opens a new window for the source 
view of the mail. For keyboard reading, switching to source view and back 
could be easy with a single key stroke.

 Evo remembers sort order and the displayed columns in the header view (and 
their width and order) on a per folder basis. One thing I'm really gonna 
miss.

kmail <-> kaddressbook integration:
 [ ] this person prefers HTML mail
 [ ] this person prefers encrypted mail
 [ ] don't sign mail to this person
(or even Use ( ) PGP/MIME ( ) inline PGP ( ) S/MIME .. to sign email for this 
person, but that's probably too fiddly).

 What I like: the configurable keyboard shortcuts, the good GPG integration, 
the good handling of the spacebar.

aRts and netscape flash plugin

2003-04-04 Thread Heilig (Cece) Szabolcs
Hello!

I think my problem is not uniqe. I use kde 3.1 on Debian sid.
I downloaded Netscape 7 installer and installed it. If i
view a flash powered page in Netscape7 browser, it hangs.
I think, flash plugin tries to get control on /dev/dsp but
didn't succeeded. It blocks netscape, and only kill helps that.

XMMS works properly with aRts output plugin.

I dug it deeper:
I tried to shut down aRts. From that netscape7 works properly
with flashy pages. But when i started XMMS (with OSS plugin),
netscape hangs. After that i closed XMMS, and then netscape7
instantly started displaying flash pages.

So, i think netscape7's flash plugin works only with /dev/dsp,
and if that device is in use, it waits...waits...waits.

Can i do a workaround to make that plugin working with aRts?

Shutdown from KDE

2003-04-04 Thread Kercso Jozsef
Hi everybody!
  I have the following problem:
I have two X servers running simultaneously on :0 and :1.
If I try to shutdown my computer using the logout from
the KDE menu, it does nothing. Only the screen goes blank,
and I can't even change the virtual terminals.
However, the shutdown works with one X server or with two
X servers, but from kdm. Is this a bug from KDE?
My configuration: Debian Woody, KDE 3.1
Thanks,
  joco

I've updated my woody debs already. If you use those everything should be fine 
now.
