Bug#194248: kernel 2.2.x and kde2
Hali! Well, I've upgraded from the default 2.2.20 kernel to 2.4.x, and the problem disappeared. (I mean, I haven't met with it since Nov 20 last year) So it might have been an already solved kernel 2.2.x bug (or conflict with kde2 or xfree86), sorry. Miki
Bug#247217: konsole: exiting a session gives error message session exited with error status xxx
On Mon, May 03, 2004 at 11:02:50PM +0200, Chris Vanden Berghe wrote: When I exit a session in Konsole (by typing 'exit'), I almost always get an error message saying that the session exited with error status xxx, where xxx is quite often '1' or '127'. But also other numbers are possible. This is repeatable on my system: open a new konsole tab type a non-existent command get 'a command not found message from bash' type 'exit' This always results in such an error status message, but this is certainly not the only way to get one. I never had this behavior with older versions of konsole... Any ideas? Thanks, I may be wrong, but I think this is *feature*, not bug ;). I finally realized after reading your report (especially description how to reproduce it). Konsole prints this error message each time program executed for given session (typically it's shell) exits with non-zero exit status. Shells exit with exit status of last executed command. If you type non-existent command, its exit status is 127, which is then used by shell as it's exit status. Anyway, I agree that it's quite annoying feature (at least sometimes / for some users). Maybe it should be configurable. Try filing wishlist bug on KDE's bug tracking system. th.

kmail and multiple smtp profiles
Hi all, in kmail, I have to use different smtp profiles depending on the network I'm connected to. Is it possible that kmail automatically tries to use the secondary smtp-server if the primary isn't available? If the current primary server is not accessible (due to firewall settings) I have to define the secondary as primary server manually. Thanks, Tobias -- Diese Email-Adresse dient nur als Spam-Ziel.

KDE 3.2.2 has been in sid for a couple of weeks now - and I now suspect you have a mix of packages from 3.2.2 and a previous version which may explain strange problems you're having - could you try a full dist-upgrade to bring everything on your system to a concurrent level?

Konqueror prints in A3 size
Hi folks, I have a strange problem. The only way to print out a webpage from Konqueror in A4, is to print it out in A3 size into a postscript file, resize the ps file to A4 and print out the resulting A4 sized postscript with kghostview. Konqueror print to file (out.ps) - paper size: A3 psresize out.ps (A3 - A4) kghostview - print out.ps Otherwise the webpage is distorted. However, I could print out a webpage in the right size from my wife's KDE profile (same machine, same printer, different settings). Konqueror - paper size: A4 - OK :-) I do not know where to search for the differences in these two settings. Thanking you in advance, Tamas

To use the [Transport 2], you have to change the order in the settings dialog box - and it seems that it is not possible to use the output of a program to change the name of the group header. sorry for my bad english - I hope everyone understand what I mean Thank you anyway - maybe its useful in future time, Tobias Maybe you can use this.

KDE Security Advisory: URI Handler Vulnerabilities
For the record : KDE.org has published a security bulletin : http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20040517-1.txt There are various problems, but this appears to be the worst bit : The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started by the handlers. Impact: [...] A remote attacker could entice a user to open a carefully crafted mailto URI which may start the KMail program with its display redirected to a remote machine under control of the attacker. An attacker can then use this to gain full access to the victims personal files and account. [...] It would appear the right advice is to stop using Konqueror to surf the web until we have our KDEs fixed. As a Woody KDE user I'm aware that the usual packager suspects^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hheros are all somewhat preoccupied, so I guess self-help may be required here - but I've never built a Debian KDE package, so if somebody could post a pointer to a simple howto on doing this from a source deb and patches I'd be grateful. Or does anyone know of a plan by some hero to package up KDE 3.2.2(3 ?) for Woody ?
