XPlanet
I want xplanet to run in the background of my windows in KDE 3.2 on my unstable system. I do not wish to run World Clock, grown to fill the window, however. Can someone help me have a rotating globe, ala xplanet, as my KDE background? -- Comments are appreciated, Bob
X Variable?
How do I examine and reconfigure the system variable "x-session-manager"? Yes, a total noob question...but with KDE I usually have no need. I have to start KDE from the command line with "startx /usr/bin/startkde" and want to try a new window manager. -- Comments are appreciated, Bob
Re: KDEInit could not launch 'kmail'
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hey, I had the exact same problem. And then I found out that I had 2 kmail lib packages installed. 11 from KDE 2.3 and one from KDE 2.1.5. The names were almost the same, only the "lib" part had switched places ... (Sorry, but I can't find out which were the exact names :( ) I removed the one from KDE 2.1.5 and the problem was solved. I hope this helps. On Thursday 26 February 2004 21:01, Bud Rogers wrote: > Greetings.

KDEInit could not launch 'kmail'
Greetings. I've just (re)subscribed to this list after a long absence. I've been running the kde 3.1.95/3.2.0 debs by Ben Burton and Chris Cheney on people.debian.org for a while now. I have been quite pleased, kudos to Chris and Ben. Suddenly today I have trouble running kmail. Starting it from the K menu produces the error in the subject. Running kmail from the command line produces the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which kmail /usr/bin/kmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /usr/bin/kmail /usr/bin/kmail: relocation error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK4KPIM12ThreadWeaver3Job9classNameEv This behavior showed up in mid session. I had been reading mail with no problems. I shut down it down to do some other things, then when I tried to start it up again it failed. I checked the list archives and found there was a threadon this subject a few weeks ago. but the thread doesn't seem to mention a solution. FWIW, I have most of kde 3.1.95 in /usr/local/ that I compiled from source, before I found out about Chris and Ben's debs. That kmail runs fine -- that's how I'm composing this email. I wouldn't be surprised if my problem is some kind of lib mismatch, but I'm really puzzled about how and why the problem surfaced in mid session like it did. I would welcome any suggestions. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> KD5SZ

The problem get even more complex with internationalization. The translation of an English string in French or German can be longer or shorter than the original and ruin the geometry of the dialog box. > In no way am I trolling or otherwise insulting KDE.

We have at KDE a new quality project : http://kde.ground.cz/tiki-index.php?page=KDE+Quality+Team that aim to adress the myriad of small quality problems that still exist in KDE and to help developers. Volunteering and adopting one of your pet KDE application as a janitor is a good way to contribute back even if you have little free time.

konqueror in 3.2/sid
I apt-get upgraded last night, and relogged in this morning, getting the latest kde packages. Now, however, konqueror does not go anywhere, sitting and hanging at 'connecting', no matter what website I point to. I first chalked this up to using an authenticated proxy (which tends to break at least one per major release cycle), but even after changing the proxy setting to 'connect directly to the internet', and trying to go to an internal webserver, I get the same result. I then blew away my settings for konqueror, and the share/apps for konq, khtml, kionetrc, and kioslaverc, reset things up, and have the same problem. I should note that I have also been killing the preloaded konq after each change, just to be sure. The only hint I have been able to find at all is the following from my .xsession-errors: KURLRequester::setProperty( "mode", value ) failed: property invalid, read-only or does not exist ASSERT: "i <= nodes" in /usr/share/qt3/include/qvaluelist.h (372) ASSERT: "i <= nodes" in /usr/share/qt3/include/qvaluelist.h (372) DCOP aborting while waiting for answer from 'kded' DCOP aborting while waiting for answer from 'kded' QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used I get that every time I try to go to a website in konq. So, any ideas? Cuz I don't like mozilla... Other notes: I have tried with the kwalletmanager running and not, with no change. Also, I never get prompted for a username/password, even after resetting things up. -- D.A.Bishop
