I tried to reproduce your problem and could not.
Please try the following and test the screensavers after each step.
1) remove .kde/*, logout, login
2) remove .menu/*,logout,login
3) create a new user,login as new user
4) use xscreensaver, see alt.os.linux.mandrake, Eric Tompkins,

(no) offense, but your writing is the same piece of whatever you called ac97 
chips.. probably some people have a reason to use such a sound device, e.g. 
laptops or barbone pcs, one of them being me. considered that, your posting

Just a note - if you are using hotplug, you may need to put an entry for your 
OSS module (that you *don't want loaded) in /etc/hotplug/blacklist .
For instance, to use ALSA's "snd_ymfpci" instead of the OSS module "ymfpci", I 
needed to "echo ymfpci>> /etc/hotplug/blacklist , to prevent the OSS module 
from loading first.

don't have that problem with the current packages but did run into this a

 Problem solved: I took a closer look at /etc/environment and realized that it 
didn't properly export the $LANG variable. Since $LANG is also set 
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, I got it after the fact, so to speak. Stupid 
oversight, but everything works fine now, thanks for your help.

To make things even weirder, when you turn on num lock, control key 
shortcuts in Acrobat Reader no longer work. Is this silly, or what? :-(

By discover, I imagine.  The modules you *do* need have "snd" in them 
somewhere, and the ones you don't do not.

eg. you do want snd-emu10k1 but you do not want emu10k1

Wow, that *is* weird.  All this time, I just figured the keyboard map was 
misconfigured or something.  I never really bothered to look into it, since I 
didn't use the win keys anyway, but it's really interesting to note how they

Re: KDE 3.3 logout crashes my system

2004-08-20 Thread Francisco Vera
I am having the same problems, after upgrading to kde 3.3, my system crashes 
when I try to logout. Ctrl-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-F1, ctrl-alt-del not 
respond, in fact numlock not work, so the keyboard and mouse are not 
responding.

Ping from others machines works but ssh or sftp not.

My system:
debian sid, kernel 2.4.27-1-k7 athlon XP 2600+ 1Gb ram
kdm + kde

For now I am using fluxbox instead of kde.

Francisco Vera

Just out of curiosity.  Did you find any usefull information on getting your 
sound system to work with alsa.  I've installed the alsa packages and run 
alsasetup (sorry I'm not sure if that's exactly what it was called), but I 
still get oss modules loaded and a device error on boot.  I can't seem to 
figure out what modules I do and don't need.

systray spacing bug

2004-08-20 Thread James Cummings
Hi all,

Is anyone else having a problem with the applications in 
the systray applet in kde 3.3?  They occasionally (after a
modifying the panel somehow) end up all spaced out taking 
up whatever space is remaining on my panel bar.

Anyway I can stop them doing this?  Seems to reset when 
I reload kde/kdm.

Thanks for any suggestions,

-James

Re: KMail behaviour is weird.

2004-08-20 Thread Zack Cerza
Hey,

As far as your issues, I can't reproduce them :/

But you're lucky. No matter what is set in my idenity, kmail thinks my
address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Net result: kmail can't send mail, and I move
to Evolution for the time being.

Also, the todo list and calendar won't load in kontact. Running
korganizer by itself gives me:

korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: libknewstuff.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Luckily, I use evolution at work so I can deal.

KMail behaviour is weird.

 Hello. Yesterday I upgraded to KDE 3.3 (I think many of us should have stayed 
at 3.2 :-), and apart from a few flitches in KMail (some fonts were not set 
up right), I I am concerned by the fact that cursor keys are not working

 I have to insist several times or keep pressed the key in question to get the

 Is this biting you? I need to know if this is reproducible for filing a bug
