Bug#148225: konqueror: cookie dialogue can also end up on a different screen
Package: konqueror Version: 4:3.1.5-2 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #148225 When I run konqueror on screen :0.1, it's even worse than the dialogue simply popping up beneath the window. It pops up on :0.0 ... an entirely different screen. I used to think this was a problem with enlightenment (which has terrible multi-screen support), but I've switched to xfce, and the problem persists. The last time I logged in to my computer remotely (while simultaneously logged in at home), running konqueror on the remote session (i.e. display :1) would sometimes create cookie dialogues on my display at home (which was obviously inaccessible). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-rc1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages konqueror depends on: ii kate4:3.1.5-2KDE Advanced Text Editor ii kcontrol4:3.1.5-2KDE Control Center ii kdelibs44:3.1.5-1KDE core libraries ii kdesktop4:3.1.5-2KDE Desktop ii kfind 4:3.1.5-2KDE File Find Utility ii libart-2.0-22.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.6c-1 The Network Audio System (NAS).

Hmm, but there are different versions of programs in Unstable and Testing and I don't see why there won't be any further updates for 3.1.5 when it entered testing and 3.2 entered unstable (Riku had a hint for this). Especially, when Sarge becomes the new stable. Bye, Patrick
Re: KDE 3.2.0 Status Update - 20040221
The problem in my mind is not people being denied access to KDE 3.1.5. It's that once KDE 3.2 is in sid we more or less become committed to releasing sarge with 3.2, since we'll no longer be able to upload bugfixes for KDE 3.1.5. So why don't you give the new kde3.2-package just another module-name? Just like gimp makes it. You still can install the old gimp1.2 and you can install gimp1.3 without losing the possibility to install the old one. This way it'll be possible to maintain and install both development-branches in testing as well as in sid. __ Nachrichten, Musik und Spiele schnell und einfach per Quickstart im WEB.DE Screensaver - Gratis downloaden: http://screensaver.web.de/?mc=021110

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Package: kpilot Version: 4:3.1.4-1 Severity: normal Syncing a Zire 71 using Kpilot causes the PDA to hang while syncing expenses. At the same time, the Kpilot daemon crashes and disappears from the KDE panel. I'm not sure where to look to help troubleshoot this. I'm syncing expenses to a CSV file, and I've set it to overwrite the file when it syncs. The PDA has one entry listed in expenses. Running kpilotDaemon through strace doesn't produce any meaningfull output and the kpilot hotsync log has nothing to indicate a failure. The only indication of a failure is the message: kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle '' This message doesn't appear when the expense conduit is disabled. When the expense counduit is turned off the hotsync finishes sucessfully. This is a fresh install of KDE from Debian Testing. There shouldn't be any corrupt config files from an old installation.

There's supposed to be a module in the control center that lets you do cool X 4.3 stuff like resizing the display. I don't seem to have it in my control panel - maybe it was omitted or Chris Ben don't think it's ready yet. That leaves plan B - reconfiguring the X server. Like in Perl, There's More Than One Way to do this. I do it the old fashioned way - editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. You can also do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, or run one of the zillions of X configurator programs out there. Definitely follow David Bishop's advice concerning adding -dpi 100 to /usr/share/config/kdm/Xservers. That'll help deal with dreaded tiny font disease.

Is there info available that indicates whether it is safe to apt-get upgrade a KDE system? [ie, that the upgrade will not result in major packages missing, or not working.] I have a KDE 3.1.4 on testing/woody, for x86, using pinning to get the sid debs, last updated about 2 mos ago. I saw: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2004/debian-kde-200402/msg00270.html Re: KDE 3.1.5 Status Update - 20040217 where I see: * Packages that still need to build: kdebase 3.1.5-2 --- s390- failed? Feb 5 due to buggy (#231972) kernel headers (not yet fixed) So will kdebase 3.1.5 not install work in x86 also? and : KDE 3.1.5/3.2 Status Update - 20040219 Would it be a nice additional thing to have, to have a don't_upgrade=broken/ok_to_upgrade indicator put in the DebianKDE wiki to be used as a simple alert that it is ok to upgrade, or that some things are broken, therefore don't upgrade currently. Also, what is experimental, mentioned in the above (2/19) email? Thx :) -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm... Fastmail...
