Or make your own and set it up how you want.  We have our own group.  Group

configure everything that's available to that particular group independent of 
package management.

I took our last name for the group name. With a little incident. I 
forgot to change the owner of /home/ It stayed to staff. So KDE couldn't 
start, because it had no write access to the home directory ;-)

read you, Ulrich
P.S. of course I changed the owner of /home/ and subdirectories allready.

Correct.
You change the settings of the slaverc, so you have to re-read this one.

kdemeeting?

2004-05-14 Thread Uwe Brauer
Hello

I tried so far gnomemeeting (which works under kde) and I must say I
worked much worse that XP's netmeeting :(.

Does anything like kdemeeting exist?

Google did not return anything.

Thanks

Check /var/log/kdm.log.

In my case, with 2.4 kernels kdm would variously do exactly what you report,
or (much worse) it would completely lock up, because it couldn't access my
synaptics touch pad (mouse).  In the case of the lockup, I put a command
into the kdm startup script to kill X if it saw the synaptics error.  KDM
would automatically restart X, and the second time it would always work.

Under 2.6, as long as I don't plug in my usb mouse until KDM has started,
I'm fine.  If I forget, it'll abort saying it can't find any core pointer
device.  Then I have to detach the usb mouse, rmmod all the mouse-related
modules, modprobe psmouse (for the touch pad), start KDM, then insert the
usb mouse.  One of these days, I'll figure out what I need to do with
modprobe.conf to get things installed in the right order - perhaps just
compiling psmouse into the kernel will do the job.

kdm try to start but back to the console login

2004-05-14 Thread Franco Gorziglia
Hello All,
I´m using Sarge and KDE 3.2
The problem is that kdm try to start al the final of the boot process, 
but then a blank screen and return to the console login. Then, I can 
login as root, and type "#kdm" and kdm starts perfectly. I don't 
understand why it's happens, because if I select xdm as default disply 
manager there`s no problem. If I select kdm as default display manager, 
only after the login as root I can start kdm. I check that the 
"defaul-display-manager" in /etc/X11/defaul-display-manager is 
/usr/bin/kdm I also check that run level is 5 and I don't know what happen.
thank you in advance.

Hello

Windows XP comes with nice background, the world time zones.
Is there anything similar in kde/debian.

Then upgrade all mentioned packages to testing! Is it that complicated?
Obviously, you did something in /etc/apt/preferences to make apt not look for 
those packages in testing repositories. Use the -t parameter of apt or fix 
the preferences file.

What version of xlibs do you have installed?

Try: apt-get install xlibs=4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Or simply upgrade to current version of X in testing.

Overwriting /usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.so.1.0 manually via cp works fine.
Does anybody have an idea, what to do, to make the package install properly.
