But Sarge should have been released a year ago, more or less. Changing from 
XFree86 to XOrg is absolutely not a trivial change. Just try to compile and 
make work XOrg on one of the not so common architechtures.

I was wondering this question myself, but don't tell us that if you don't like 
the answer, is a wrong answer.

The complexity of Debian, in terms of quality and size, is many times 
forgotten.

See number 4.

How to serve the users, is (yes, again) something complex, and there are lots 
of opinions about it. If you have got good ideas about a release cycle well 
suited for desktop users, and for servers sysadmins, please, speak. Some 
release proposals are in the debian wiki.

If someone told you to shut up, is because Debian developers can be offended 
when you say things without considering *all* the facts, not just the ones 
you are interested in.

If you are so proud of libranet, why do you care about Debian? Or the problem 
is that Libranet is Debian based, and not the opposite?

Disclaimer: I am NOT a Debian developer, so I'm not personally offended by 
your words. However, they can be offensive to people who work very tough in 
Debian, and just as volunteers.

how to get an old version of kpat working with kde in Sarge?

2005-04-04 Thread Hans Ekbrand
Hi!

Me and my wife miss the "Kings" patience that was included in the kpat
package until recently. That particular patience was disabeld because
the implementation of it had a bug and no one seemed to care enough
about the "kings" patience to fix the bug.

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84819

We would like to have the kings patience even if buggy. My first try
to get it was to simply install an older version of kpat with

# dpkg -i kpat[version_number_that_I_no_longer_remember_3.2_something].deb

That worked until I installed a new version of kde.

What are my options to get kpat with "kings"?

-compile an older version of kpat (3.2) to work with kde 3.3?

-get the source for kpat 3.3, somehow enable "kings" and recompile?

Are there other options?

I have no knowledge in c++, but I suppose I could hand-reverse the
patch to kpat that disabled "kings".

If kpat 3.2 could be make to work with kde 3.3 without changing the
source, I would prefer that, but is it possible?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, hints, tips or other
helpful advice.

well, the thing is, sarge should have been out 1 year ago (maybe even 
before). and adding x.org now would like yet-another-delay

and ubuntu doesn't have the same exigences for releases. many RC bugs of 
debian aren't for ubuntu. and ubuntu does not have a dozen arch to 
build on.

  You have KDE 3.4 available in an external repository. GNOME 2.10 is

  Nobody forces you to use Debian. Just be glad that it exists, and that
  all these distributions can base their work on it to offer you a shiny
  product. There are differences between Debian and e.g. Ubuntu, both in
  their goals and in their resources.

  If you see it necessary, then please be 100% sure they're thick _and_
  uncaring before addressing them like this. This mail of yours hurt my
  feelings. I don't expect my users to thank me everyday, but certainly
  I'm not here to get bashed.

I guess that came from a non-official apt-get source entry.  I commented out 
all non-debian sources from my sources.list and reinstalled it and now get 
3.3.2-1, and lo and behold it works fine

Alsa is still hosed though, and I have a sinking feeling that I may have

http://themind.altervista.org/debian unstable main after having installed 
something I dont remember.  I won't do that again.

Yes, but if that's the case, why no kde 3.4, gnome 2.10 or xorg in
experimental then?  By the time sarge releases it will already be six
months, if not longer, outdated.  That doesn't bode well.

And x.org has been out for a year now.  If it had been introduced a year
ago, it'd have all (or near all) of the dependency problems and build
problems most probably sorted out by now.  If Ubuntu can do it, why
can't Debian is the question that many people, including myself are

yeah, I really thing gpg-agent is broken in that sense (I mean in the

in gpg-agent.conf there should be an option that gives the path to a

Should packages be removed from the archive while there are still other

I think it was the other way round.
Today I saw that there was libkcal2a package coming in conflicting with

  So don't do that. ;-)

  Seriously, the @euro thing was a hack for iso-8859 locales, and not

German Umlaute in KDE 3.3.2

2005-04-04 Thread Joerg Reckers
I Have problems typing german Umlaute in KDE apps.

The problem occurs since i changed to UTF-8 a few days ago.

the Problem (in kde):
i can type german umlaute in NOT kde-apps like: xterm, firefox, gedit,  
i get only rubbish if i try to type umlaute in kde-apps like: konsole, kedit, 
kmail, 


i am using kde 3.3.2 on a debian sid system.
my locales are set to the following:

~$ locale

settings)

-i tried to change the keyboard layout in kcontrollcenter, no luck. (it is set 
to "de" right now)
-i tried with a fresh user, still no luck

but i have no problems if i start the qt-apps under gnome. e.g:

i tried to google on this problem and didn't found an answer, so if someone 
has the same problem, or better, a solution, please let me know

  I _vaguely_ recall something about that not working. I mean, that the
  variable has to be set soon in the KDE startup process, otherwise it
  won't work. If it's like that, then it's a bit of a PITA, since you
  can't restart the agent without restarting KDE (unless you do some
  tricks like the one Pierre mentions in other post in this thread).

  Uhm, the font I use has certainly not any chinise characters in it.
  Since a short time ago (I believe, but not completely sure, since
  fontconfig 2.3.1), though, it displays strings like 
'æçæåèåæäé',
  picking the characters from other fonts.

  I understand what you say, but the thing is that the Release Managers
  request that developers only upload to unstable what is really meant
  to migrate to testing. In other words, uploading something to unstable
  means that your goal is to get it into sarge.

  So, for things not intended for sarge, unstable is not ok, and
  experimental or some external repository must be used.

  Hope this clears up things a bit.

I think you misunderstood me there. I actually meant including x.org in 
unstable, before sarge goes stable. I know that sarge isn't unstable 
(actually sid is), since I've been a debian user for three years now. :)

> Don't you consider it pretty rude to say something inflammatory, and then

I just told how I felt. I didn't inflame anything. I'm sure debian already 
knew that most users don't like the slow release-cycle. It has been debated 
over and over again. That's why I don't want to make time for it. If you find 
it rude, then I'm sorry, but I'm just being honest. :)

Well Sarge _isn't_, and has never been, unstable.  But I was expecting Sarge 2 
years ago.  There's no way we'll ever get it in stable because everybody and 
their dog insists on getting something else into sarge first.

Sometimes since 3.2.0 (or some version like that) it was and it is possible
(I am currently with 3.3.2) to use this in kmailrc:

hmmm, in fact, the good idea would be to use the fontconfig : serif 
sans-serif and monospace defaults.

those should be quite sensible, and they *should* work on every host, 
envery encoding. else you may want to bug fontconfig maintainer to ask 
him to choose some more sensible settings.

Then what do you suggest? Are there any free vector fonts, that aren't crap, 
that meet your requirements? Also, what would be the consequences of having 
bitstream as a default for you, i.e. what would you see?

well, sarge *should* be out. and we cannot delay it once more. and 
adding x.org will need to make it stable on all archs, and then resolve 
all compile problems it will generate, and so on.

we don't have time for this.

please don't forget that x.org, kdelibs, ... are used by *many* 
packages, and that changing them, may need a new build of all of them, 
and can generate new security/rc bugs.

the real problem is not that sarge won't ship kde 3.4 or x.org, but that 
sarge isn't out *yet*.

"Run Command..." dialog doesn't appear

2005-04-04 Thread Steinar Bang
Platform: Intel Pentium M (Dell Latitude D600 laptop),
  debian sarge (testing/unstable),
  kicker 3.3.2-1

Typing Alt-F2, or selecting "Run Command..." from the KDE menu doesn't
make the run command dialog appear.

Is there something I can do to make the kicker application log why it
doesn't open it?  Some sort of verbose logging, perhaps?

Are there any other obvious troubleshooting tricks?

Some details on the problem:
When the OS this machine was installed from a sarge netinstall CD on
January 7 (or thereabouts), the "Run command" dialog appeared when I
typed Alt-F2 or selected "Run Command" from the KDE menu.

After some apt-get dist-upgrade, or other, the dialog stopped
appearing.

It may also be caused by changes done in the control panel.  I have
removed keyboard shortcuts that conflicted with Opera and GNU Emacs.
I did that before doing any apt-get dist-upgrade operations.  Could it
be that my modifications collided somehow with the upgrade...?  How
could I find out?

I have a different sarge machine here with the same version of kicker
installed, that does not have this problem.

Thanx!

AFAIK, only in the new version the local mail is stored in ~/.kde, and it is 
still kept in ~/Mail if such directory exists at startup.

Another simple solution, is using symlinks. For example, I have all my Kopete 
and Koversation logs under ~/personal/pim/logs, because I put symlinks in 
~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/logs pointing to there. This way I have in 
sync this data between my laptop and my desktop.

yeah that setting is really odd.

since x-window-syste-core (or the other one, i can't remember) depends

That's funny: I did this once and it somehow switched something in KMail. Now

Same here in Sid, allthough this bug seems to exist quite a while in KDE 3.3
and is even on my alioth-KDE 3.4.

Kind of strange, that the default-KDE-font is set to helevetica, whicht does
not seem to be installed according the the font-select-dialog. (i have
mst-corefonts installed).

Not, if I start KMail from the shell where I exported that variable.
Read my mail:
 3291 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh
$ echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/gpg-nDWDgZ/S.gpg-agent:3291:1

And _from_that_shell_ I start "kmail".

It's not that gpg-agent doesn't get started by the script 
in /etc/X11/Xsession.d, in fact it does.

And, be sure to answer that you want to enable bitmapped fonts.  The default 
is to disable them.  You had probably edited /etc/fonts/local.conf to enable 
them, but fontconfig now uses some other method.

in GPG_AGENT_INFO you have the path to the socket, the pid, and a number 
(I don't know its meaning)

if your restart gpg-agent, then kmail won't find gpg-agent again, since 
the location changed, but not the env var it sees.


so you have to kill gpg-agent, quit X, and log again, and that should 
work out from the box.

don't forget to add 'use-agent' in .gnupg/gpg.conf



another option, is to find the right socket, and symlink it in .gnupg/ 
eg. and then do that :

gpg-wrap.sh:
#!/bin/bash
export GPG_AGENT_INFO=$HOME/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:1234:1
exec "$@"


I've tested it, and afaik, even with a stupid pid, kmail works fine. I 
guess the pid is used if you want to send HUP sigs to the gpg-agent 
daemon, so maybe you can discover it with the appropriate 'pidof' or ps 
aux|grep call.

OpenPGP/Mime in KMail broken in Sarge

2005-04-04 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,

I only made the Sarge updates, lately:
ii  kmail  3.3.2-2KDE Email client

But now KMail does not want to use gpg-agent any more. It just tells me, that 
gpg-agent is not running

The gpg-agent package is installed (and the computer was rebooted this 
morning). gpg-agent is running:
3291 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon --sh
$ echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/gpg-nDWDgZ/S.gpg-agent:3291:1

I even restarted it. My config is ok:
$ cat .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800
$ readlink -f /usr/bin/pinentry
/usr/bin/pinentry-qt

Any suggestions?

File manager super user mode not working

2005-04-04 Thread Mauro Darida
hello all,
I am using kde 3.3.2 of sarge and have noticed that the file manager under the 
super user mode does not work correctly, i.e. all text documents are viewed 
as read-only and cannot be modified.
Anyone experiencing this? Do I need to configure something manually? I don't 
recollect any problem with previuos kde versions.

  Did you upgrade fontconfig too? There have been several changes in the
  configuration introduced in the 2.3.x series, so it could be that.
  dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig?

I have the same problem. However, it's not limited to KDE, the fonts are 
missing in Mozilla and Firefox as well. They seem to be still available in 
Gnucash and in OpenOffice.

The recent updates brought new packages for xfonts and gsfonts.
