Re: Final polishing of the KDE 3.3 transition
* Steve Langasek [Sun, 02 Jan 2005 20:23:11 -0800]: This bug is now closed. thanks. I agree that the impact of the KDE blockage is sufficient that we shouldn't be holding KDE out of testing for bugs that aren't specific to unstable. ack. (but: vorlon I think I prefer to lie about the severity rather than lie about the tags; Kamion may have a different opinion as a bugmaster.) This preference isn't strong enough that I would want it to hold anything up; all the options are kludges, so we might as well pick one and get on with things. we'll go with lowering to 'important', with an attached explanation. This is not really a major concern; if there are RC bugs that haven't been detected yet, there's no sense in sitting around waiting for them to be filed. If you have specific issues in mind that you suspect may be RC, it would be best to investigate them before the affected packages reach testing, of course. no, no specific issues in mind. I throw away and forget about (d) now. * * * so, we'll be downgrading the security bugs to important now, right?, and aiui the transition can happen in today's britney run (provided that today's dinstall picks kdeedu/mipsel and britney sees it, which is what happens if iuic). thanks for your time and your excellent work. -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

See this thread [1] for more info. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/01/msg4.html The severity will be restored right after the transition, and uploads to sid will shortly follow. Just to say what is going to happen: kdebase 3.3.1-4 will be uploaded first (along with a arts 1.3.2-2, not security related). While buildds churn these two, a kdelibs 3.3.2-1 upload to sid will be prepared, and uploaded as soon as kdebase+arts is built in all arches. We need to upload kdelibs 3.3.2 since the fix for CAN-2004-1145 (the Java Vulnerability) is not easily backportable to 3.3.1. Having kdelibs 3.3.2 with the rest of packages being at 3.3.1 is a safe mix; in any case, we will test prior to uploading and the urgency won't be set to high.

This aplication allows users to configure printers without needing to know if they're running CUPS, LPRng or whatever. To do that, the RedHat/Fedora team is using the alternatives system created by Debian and already used by us for browsers, terminals, editors, etc. So, here goes my suggestion and a request: what do you think of using the alternatives system for printing? That would ease porting this application to run on Debian. This application would add a great facility for our users since it is impossible to know what command must be used to print a document on a Debian system. My suggestion to the name of this alternative is print which should point to the command used to print (ex.: /usr/bin/lpr) -- Projeto Software Livre Mulheres http://mulheres.softwarelivre.org Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses, women for their strengths --Lois Wyse signature.asc Description: Esta é uma parte de mensagem assinada digitalmente

Dear Maintainers, As reported yesterday by the BTS, I still had bugs submitted via my former e-mail address, which I have just reassigned to my current e-mail address. I would obviously appreciate a followup, because most of those bugs have been left unresolved for a LONG time and it would be nice to discuss a solution, so that we can eventually close at least some of the bugs. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=q-funk%40iki.fi -- Martin-Éric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.iki.fi/q-funk/

Personally, I use both KDE, Gnome and just X programs. Why do you Cool, then you chose X, KDE and Gnome, and ignore the various server tasks ? believe a desktop user want to limit herself to only one of these classes of programs?

No. Broadband isn't a kind of network interface. Hmm, don't understand your point. The question seems valid to me -- he's a broadband user, and he wants to monitor things like the number of bytes transferred, duration of connection, etc. (Things that can typically be done for a modem (non-broadband) connection. Maybe your point is re connect? I know some broadband connections are always on (IIUC) (things like a cable modem) but does that also apply to things like xDSL and ISDN?

Re: Re: DPMS doesn't work with KDE
I have the same problem with KDE 3.2. I can force the display off with 'xset dpms force off', but the display doesn't standby/suspend/off after the configured times. Here's the relevant dpms output from 'xset q': DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 180Suspend: 420Off: 780 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On I have the dpms timeouts set in my X-config file and have also set them via KDE's Display Power Control utility. DPMS works just fine when at the XDM screen; however, if I login (into KDE), it no longer works. I haven't tried any other window manager, but I suspect that dpms would work just fine there as Nicolas reported. R.G.

Re: Re: gui for broadband
Hi, I too find Mr. Johnson unreasonable. I don't knowhis motive. He expects users to be technically precise and accurate on questions raised. I don't have to be an expert in broadband services and devices to ask a question about the availability of a gui for a broadband connection. Most users are concerned in solving problems on hand quickly. Users who have gone through the same experience can easily understand each other. Jianan
Re: Re: gui for broadband
Forgot to mention that I have also tried the dpkg approach i.e. go to the site to download the latest version .deb file and do 'dpkg -i' but ran into dependencies problems. 'apt-get install' is still the best method. I have checked through Debian list of non-US mirror sites but the one you recommended is not there. I've checked Debian. Will keep you informed.
