KDE on AMD64
Hello everyone! I would like to install a 64bit version for AMD of testing/etch debian with X/KDE. On most mirror servers, I have tried yet, there was README with an entry like amd64 is now available on ftp.debian.org Please use your nearest ftp.debian.org mirror now for the etch or unstable version of the amd64 port of Debian. The sarge version continues to be available from amd64.debian.net and its mirrors until sarge is archived. This one I found on ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-amd64/debian/dists/etch which IS my nearest ftp.debian.org mirror. My actual etch amd64 installation is from http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/Linux/debian/ but there is no X/KDE included. Does anyone know, where the complete amd64 etch/testing versions are hosted actually? Regards Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: no sound after routine upgrade
Hello, I had the same problem, but yesterdays libasound2 update fixed the problem. It wasn't aRts fault, but rather broken sound card detect code I think (something about cannot open hw:1.. don't recall the exact message.. sorry). But the new libasound2 in unstable (i386 definitely, maybe other arches are still awaiting a build??) fixed things here for me. I get sound in Kopete again :) Lawrence Original Message Follows From: Tim Folger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-kde@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: no sound after routine upgrade Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 17:33:10 -0600 On Saturday 27 May 2006 15:47, Sylvain Joyeux wrote: > it looks like the latest libasound2 broke arts.

Autostart gkrellm
Hi, i have a symbolic link gkrellm -> /usr/bin/gkrellm in .kde/Autostart. It used to start gkrellm maximized (on the desktop) but no longer does so. It now always starts minimized. Strangely, if I start it from a console it starts maximized. How can I get it to start maximized from Autostart again. Chris -- C.

Or if you just want to launch the X Window System alone, why not run 'X'? You might also want to look into the alternatives for x-session-manager and x-window-manager under /etc/alternatives. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Preventing kde to start
On debian 32 etch/sid I am trying from a few days frustratingly to prevent kde from starting at the command . I already asked for advice but the problem was not solved. I am posing the question again because the position may have been blurred from repeated e-mails. What I want is the X-system (which is what I normally need in combination with Open Motif) and the possibility to start kde from only when I need it. Today I updated xserver-org. What I have is: X-Window System version 7.0.0 X Protocol Version 11 Rev 0 Release 7.0 I removed gdm and xdm with command #apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm Now the system boots to text but launches both X and, unwillingly, also kde. I forgot before the last step to reconfigure; see what happens: debian:/home/francesco# dpkg -reconfigure kdm dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*]. Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! debian:/home/francesco# I understand that there is a conflict but I am unable to solve it. Help please.
