Bug#603757: kde-plasma-desktop: Similar problem, although in my case the widgets got moved to small screen size
Package: kde-plasma-desktop Version: 5:77 Followup-For: Bug #603757 Dear Maintainer, I ran lincity-ng (for the first time) and it seemed to take over my main monitor, forcing everything to the secondary monitor. I tried to shut down KDE, but nothing happened after hitting the red log-off/shutdown button on the file menu and the show desktop widget. In the end I had to do a power switch reboot falled by control-alt-del to restart the whole system from scratch. When I returned to the orginal dual monitor desktop, all the widgets on the larger sceen had been moved from the right edge towards the centre (seemingly forgetting their original settings - instead remembering the settings as a result of running on the smaller screen) What made me attach to this bug report however is that the task bar was orginally placed on my secondary screen (at the bottom) and seems to have moved without reason to the main screen as a result of the activities above. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kde-plasma-desktop depends on: ii kde-baseapps4:4.8.4-2 ii kde-runtime 4:4.8.4-2 ii kde-workspace 4:4.8.4-6 ii plasma-desktop 4:4.8.4-6 ii udisks 1.0.4-7 ii upower 0.9.17-1 Versions of packages kde-plasma-desktop recommends: pn kdm none ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+2 Versions of packages kde-plasma-desktop suggests: pn kde-l10n none -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Panel sometimes gets lost when starting KDE Session
Sometimes when I start my KDE session (from GDM - why does KDM have such ugly fonts?) I start up, but my most important panel never appears. It is an autohide panel at the top of the screen (not full width), with my main application launcher. The only way to get it back is to start to create a new panel in roughly the same place. Then it appears, I can abandon creating the new panel and it then seems to work fine for the rest of the session. This is really annoying, but I don't have much clue about where kde stores these panel definitions, nor why it might not have been found. Anyone any ideas about this? (I have 4 separate activies defined and 4 separate desktops but I am not sure why this should matter since I believe panels transend both desktops and activities) -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Lots of failed google gadget errors when starting
Hi I am running kde 4.7 from experimental A couple of weeks ago I moved over to KDE from Gnome and spent some time playing with multiple desktops and activities. Then I went back to Gnome 3 again just to compare with what I had learnt. I did un-install some modules from kde. Yesterday I decided to come back to kde and re-installed what I thought I had un-installed. However whenever I log in and the plasma desktop starts, I get three messages related to google gadgets failing to load. The have a filename something like ~/.google/gadgets/downloaded_gadgets/_somefilename. The thing is, I don't have a .google/gadgets/downloaded_gadgets directory. How do I remove the error messages?

Bug#561783: konqueror: Javascript reports time wrongly (TimezoneOffset is wrong)
Package: konqueror
Version: 4:4.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Firstly if I type date +%z on the command line, I get + as the
response showing I am in the GMT timezone
If I create a web page with the following text in it
html
body
script type=text/javascript
var d = new Date(0);
document.write('hours = '+d.getHours()+'br/');
document.write('time offset = '+d.getTimezoneOffset());
/script
/body
/html
I get different results in different browsers
In Konqueror and Iceweasel I get hours = 1 time offset = -60
In Epiphany and Chrome under Linux I get hours = 0 time offset = 0
In IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari running Windows XP in a VirtualBox
on the smae machine I get hours = 0 time offset = 0
I believe the second results are correct, the Konqueror and Iceweasel
times are wrong. (I have submitted the same bug under Iceweasel)
[Apologies if this has been submitted before - my
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf file on my local machine was giving a wrong
e-mail address and although a message was sent out to bugs.debian.org
I never had an acknowledgement, and I can't find the bug by searching
for it]

Problems with KDE4 upgrade
Let me preface this mail by saying I have run kde4 before from experimental (sometime in 2008) but that my ~/.kde4 directory was removed before I started the upgrade. I have been running UNSTABLE and kde 3.5 I started the updgrade this morning from within a konsole window using aptitude in interactive mode. Seemingly all the packages were updated, although it has taken several loops of allowing some packages to be removed to satisfy impossible dependences. The (in)famous kaboom was installed, but has never run. Once the upgrade was supposidely complete, I exited my kde session, exited to a root screen (not in x) and stopped kdm. HOWEVER attempting to restart kdm it failed prompting that Greeter plugin was not configured, so was unable to enter an X session (gdm is also installed but not configured to run). I tried removing it and then re-installing it - no change - still prompts for this message I tried running genkdmconf with selecting the /etc/kde3 old path and with selecting no old kde as two separate attempts. Both times, no change. I then ran dpkg-reconfigure gdm and made it the default display manager. When it started, it asked me if I wanted to use kde.desktop as my session. I said yes, but it just hung my machine solid. I was unable to use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X, and I was unable to Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. Only way to shut machine down was to remove power. I am now writing this e-mail by installing Gnome-Desktop, and then running kmail (1.11.2 from KDE 4.2.2). All my old mails are intact, and the dates seem correct (although the threading - or rather lack of it - setting on one of my local folders does not seem remembered). I am not sure where to go now. I would like to get back my kde session. I guess the first problem is to understand why kdm is generating this error message -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

kde4 desktop help
I have just installed kde4 from experimental. I now have some form of widget appear in the top right of my screen (it is not on the desktop because when I shrink the desktop it remains in place). I think it is a CPU monitor but am not sure. I can't remove or move it. It sits just where the window controls are and although they work through it, it is annoying.

kdm background - where?
Over the past few days, my kdm background (a sort of swirl of blue) has dissappeared. Instead I have a solid mid blue background. my /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc file refers to Wallpaper=debian-kde_default.png but searching my complete hard drive for such a filename fails to find it. I am keen to understand where it should be located and replace it (what package should it be in?), because I have had a new fault for a few days. When I end my current session, instead of seeing kdm's login screen I just have a completely blue background. Even worse than that Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not bring up the console but a blank grey screen The only way to do anything is to ctrl-alt-backspace followed by ctrl-alt-del which reboots the machine I suspect some combination of xorg-xserver and my i810 video not working, but before submitting a bug report I just want to rule out a kdm problem. Can someone explain to me where I should find this background file and what package it should be in, so I can restore it.

However, shutting down from within X works. I also use the framebuffer to get a nice VT and I actually blame the crappy video output situation under linux for this. Try without framebuffer, without DRI and without XVMC support and maybe that fixes it. All of your points exactly match mine now that I have corrected the problem of a missing background file.

kmail and address book

If I go to kmail tools menu and select address book, I open kaddressbook and can select entries from it and use it to send a message. However, when I compose a message from scratch, I would expect to hit the button with the three dots on the right hand side to bring up a dialog box that lets me select an address from the address book. Instead it gives me a list of recent addresses but no entries, or indication of how to get to the book. Is this the correct behaviour? If not, how can I change it?

kdevelop keeps crashing
I have recently installed kdevelop on my debian unstable system I can create a small test project without problems, but the reason for installing kdevelop was to look at the code for cdrecord in order to try and understand why it is still not working for me with the linux kernel 2.6.9. I have downloaded the source of cdrtools and then used the import project wizard in kdevelop to turn this code into a project. The project looks fine within kdevelop until I come to quit the program - at which point it crashes. Having taken this step, I can open a project in this directory because it seems to have created cdrtools.kdevelop file - although this does not contain any files (because it asks me if I want to import any - I say yes). Again, if I close the project (or the program) it crashes. The backtrace does not seem all that useful - without symbols I presume it is meaningless.

Followup on KDE suddenly turns to syrup
There was a thread about a week ago with this title. I have only just subscribed (again - had been unsubscribed for about a month) and noticed this when looking at the problem I have. I was running standard debian kernel-image-2.6.2-1-k7 and kde/sound was working fine (kde3.2 from experimental). I upgraded to kernel-image-2.6.3-1-k7 and all of a sudden this syrup effect happened as I was starting up kde. It would last for a few minutes, but then clear away and not be a problem. I took this to be a sound problem with the new release of the kernel - and have filed a bug report on it, especially as I was able to switch between the the two versions of the kernel and see the effect come and go. However, at some point I must have screwed with something because now I can't get sound to work properly. Log in as root, and sound for the startup and shutdown notifications work fine. Login as me (and I am a member of the audio group) and I get no sound out of kde. At least I get no start up or shut down notification, and going into kcontrol and trying to play the wave files given for the system notification results in silence. However, I can, for instance, use juk to play my mp3 files without a problem. I get this message in my .xsession-errors file kmixctrl: ERROR: Alsa mixer cannot be found. Please check that the soundcard is installed and the soundcard driver is loaded. kmixctrl: kmixctrl: ERROR: Alsa mixer cannot be found.

Re: Where are default fonts specified?
On Monday 10 November 2003 22:57, A.R. (Tom) Peters wrote: Does anyone know where in Debian default fonts for X are set? I think it depends on whether you have libXft installed or not. QT dynamically checks for the existance of this library and if its not there is uses the basic X fonts as specified in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. However if libXft is present (at a late version - earlier versions were different) it uses the libfreetype library to display fonts - which it turn uses libfontconfig library to select the actual font based on the font name and family provided it. The translation from the virtual name to a real font name is specified by /etc/fonts/* files - use normally concentrate on /etc/ fonts/local.conf - debian seems to manage that for you - as its quite hard to understand concepts such as the family and the binding strength which the library uses to select between different fonts with the same name. debian also runs the fc-cache program which creates cache files for all the names in the directories the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file includes a directory reference to several places which contains fonts - most of the debian fonts are in these directories. In addition if you examine /etc/fonts/local.conf you will see that debian does two things a) include /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/fonts.conf This file is missing on my system, but presumably is a hook to allow defoma to add in fonts here. b) leave you with the possibility of picking up the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (which are the old bitmap fonts) You can of course make private changes to local.conf to manipulate any other fonts that you have -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There used to be a bug in the console fonts that prevented fontconfig seeing them as 'console' so you may be over pleased with the actual exchange. I don't know whether Ralf's .debs have that later version of the font. If there is no actual console font found, fontconfig will look for all fonts that match the Hint that konsole gives gives QT.

looks like this:
V e r y u g l y
What you are seeing is a problem with fontconfig. If no specific font is
specified it uses the general monospaced font. Font config looks up one
and finds (apparently) a Japanese font that has erroneously indicated that it
is monspaced and has some very wide glyphs (characters). Since the spacing
of a monospaced font is determined by the size of the largest glyph you get
to see the western characters (that are in the font too).
(it is also bold...)
I found some things about defining font aliases from 'mono' to 'fixed' via
XftConfig, but then i realized, that this was already there.
I also noticed that the 'font installer' in the Control Center does not
provide any font for a normal user ('No Fonts'). If i switch to
administrator mode, a dialog pops up saying: File does not exist and
folder is not writeable.
After that, the fonts list is populated with many entries, but preview does
not work for any of them.
You need to look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf. Near the front it should have some
statements like dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir which should list your
font directories (it will also find any subdirectories). If these are not
right, change them and then run fc-cache -f -v.
If you want to get away from the ugly fonts you can also specify a font for
fixed by doing something like the following in /etc/fonts/local.conf
?xml version=1.0?
!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM fonts.dtd
!-- /etc/fonts/local.conf file for local customizations --
fontconfig
match
test name=family
stringfixed/string
/test
edit name=family mode=assign binding=strong
stringconsole/string
/edit
/match
/fontconfig
This assigns the font console to replace the use of fixed.

Can't be certain, since we haven't got to the bottom of what your problem is. QT (and hence KDE) uses XFT (which then uses fontconfig to locate the fonts) if it can find a match and then tends to fall back on the xserver directly when in difficulty. Not sure what the others do. The problem you have must at least start with fontconfig. I assume (it would be a strange configuration if it didn't) that it can find Helvetica without problems. On the other hand Lucida Palatino is not so obvious - and if it can't find that font by looking throught the directories in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and examining the fonts.cache-1 files in each of these directories it will fall back to the style hint that QT uses. The style hint is actually asking fontconfig to find a family called sans or monospace or serif (depends which style hint you use). In /etc/fonts/fonts.conf you will probably find some alias lines that turn these names into a list of actual fonts (actually sans first gets to converted to sans-serif and from there into a list of fonts). The font match algorithmn used by font config will be to match the first on the list that it can find (there are other factors but lets ignore them until we find out that they are signficant). So the reason the fonts all look the same is that fontconfig is probably mapping each request into Helvetica. Try looking in the directory where your Lucinda Palatino font is installed, and see if the fonts.cache-1 file is there. Take a look at it, and check the format (its pretty easy with a standard text editor) and see if you can find the font. The font filename and the family name (and a host of other parameters) should be obvious. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+awmzuFHxcV2FFoIRArbVAKCN5jP1Z89D2aEobZv1J/tbAkkSXACgihn6 X64uHSo4z115diKWBrJ+YYc= =9zkN -END PGP SIGNATURE-

This is simply unacceptable: on another box, I saw fc-cache use half a GB at peak, there should at least be a warning about this somewhere. You can't just assume that every debian box has well over half a GB of virtual memory available. There was a bug in libfreetype which caused it to screw up reading .gz files. Its fixed in the cvs, not sure if its been fixed in debian. fc-cache uses libfreetype to get the characteristics out of each font.

I presume that the libfreetype module loaded by the x-server should suffice.[So if someone can explain why ought to use pne of the above font servers I would be interested to listen] Anyway, I have started to look at the various packages and config files that seem to be in use and as far as I can see, I have at least four copies of some x fonts (particularly the truetype ones) stored on my system /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts (with /usr/lib/X11/fonts via symlink) /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts (not sure this is not just ghostscript - but there are truetype fonts in this directory) and /usr/share/fonts. Why the separate places, and which one is correct. My /etc/X11/XFConfig-4 has the following in it Section Files FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these EndSection Since this part of the the file is controlled by debconf - why has it not added the /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs lines into XFConfig-4. As you can see /usr/share/fonts does not figure - however, the package xfonts-konsole puts its fonts into the top level of /usr/share/fonts (in a compressed form?) and then there are type1 and truetype subdirectories with further directories underneath. Now in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf there is a list of directories that includes /usr/share/fonts but NOT /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs On top of all of this, there is a kde font installer. It seems to know about fonts - but I have no idea what it is actually manipulating) I am very confused - could do with some enlightenment. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+EwnluFHxcV2FFoIRAmjzAJ4j70qFA1qzqnblffdOAKKXInT0pgCgszcQ GukH19qnpdCwOwlHoAD1Wsg= =8NPG -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Just updated my kde box to kde-3.1.0+rc5+kl-1. All fonts in KDE are correct, except the ones in konsole. All normal fixed fonts get mapped to some Courier style font which can't display graphical characters used i.e. by dselect or mc. I'm editing several font configurations for hours now, but I can't get konsole to display a proper fixed font. I seem to suddenly have the same problem - seems to stem from installing fontconfig, but I am not sure. I think that the fonts in xfonts-konsole package are not being picked up by x for some reason. I have removed fontconfig and the situation changed. Instead of the Courier Style Font, I now get a double spaced font. The temporary work around is to change the font to something else in Konsoles Settings/Font/Custom menu and then to do Settings/Save Settings However this still doesn't get to the bottom of what is actually happening here. BTW - I am using Ralf Norden's debs of yesterday and I am using freetype rather than an font server to manage my fonts (but have been doing that for several months). - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+E0hFuFHxcV2FFoIRAseTAJ4l/GeQD1gvbrJZyIaLmcVnXPYOvQCfciLo fSODkJENw/AsTIHLaRL40pE= =vQhb -END PGP SIGNATURE-
