Bug#250094: ksim: almost useless description
Package: ksim Version: 4:3.2.2-2 Hi all, an apt-cache show ksim will reveal the following information: --- Description: System information monitor KDE is a powerful Open Source graphical desktop environment for Unix workstations. It combines ease of use, contemporary functionality, and outstanding graphical design with the technological superiority of the Unix operating system. . KSim is a plugin-based system information monitor. . This package is part of the official KDE utils module. --- I'd assume that by now everyone knows what KDE is... Instead of wasting TWO THIRDS (4 out of 6 lines) on useless information, what about actually telling in detail what ksim is?? A system information monitor. Yeah, sure, there are thousands of s.i.m.s. Now why should that one be special enough for me to actually care enough to install it? ;-) A template for an actually USEFUL description could be: --- Description: System information monitor for KDE, plugin-based KSim is a plugin-based system information monitor. It has the following features: - xxx - yyy Some plugins you may find useful: XXX (doing aaa), YYY (doing bbb), ZZZ (doing ccc), ... This package is part of the official KDE utils module. --- Thanks for correcting this admittedly not too important issue, this will contribute to making Debian excellent in every aspect! Andreas Mohr
Re: Bug#244715: Use system bell doesn't use system bell (and kills everything else)
On this box, the hardware beep /must/ work. And it works fine, outside of KDE. But once KDE starts up, artsd takes over the system beep, and artsd doesn't work. The System Bell module has its checkbox next to use the system bell instead of the little notification sounds, but the Test botton on that dialog does nothing, and the system beep never happens. Reading the logfiles, I can see artsd messages every time the hardware beep is supposed to go off. So clearly it's still being intercepted and notification sounds are still trying to be played; that's the bug. Toggling the checkboxes, enabling/disabling the sound system, deleting cache files, rebooting, etc, etc, doesn't help. It seems to be write-only. I ran into the same symptoms recently after upgrading KDE to 3.2.2 on 2.4.25 (ppc). After going around in circles for quite a while I found a check box in the KDE Control Center - Regional Accessibility - Accessibility - Bell. Check Use System Bell magically got the bell to work. After the upgrade, these settings were changed back to the default, which is off. I'm interested to know if this solves your problem, Regards, Frank
Changing cursors w/KDE 3.2
Hello all, I'm having a problem installing a new set of cursors under KDE. I had installed the crystalblue cursor set from kde-look.org, followed the instructions (move the theme directory into ~/.icons , and changing the ~/.icons/default/index.theme), but every time I still get the same set of default cursors.

In KDE 3.2 the only thing you have to do is copy the cursor folders to ~/.icons so that it looks like ~/.icons/mytheme/cursor/* then fire up kde control center and open peripherals-mouse-cursor design and choose your new design. you need to log off and on to activate it.

Re: kdm try to start but back to the console login
Thank you, I'd checked /var/log/kdm.log and find that the problem is my ugly microsoft wireless blue mouse, that I will change today to fix the problem Broughton, Derek wrote: Franco Gorziglia wrote: 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 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. -- derek

That's not a problem. It's just a matter of getting your modules loaded in the right order. I have an ugly MS wireless blue mouse. Stupid purchasing decision, because I instantly discovered that I can't _use_ a wireless mouse - I need a cord to prevent it hitting the floor! Anyway, you might need to either add hid to /etc/modules or just delete the usbmouse module. The problem is that the MS Blue mouse is improperly defined in hotplug (so you could always fix that, I haven't got around to it) and loads usbmouse instead of hid. Originally I found that loading hid first was enough, but now I find I have to make sure usbmouse is _not_ loaded.
