First check, whether Last.fm support is enabled:
Settings menu -> Configure Amarok... -> Internet Services and activate
the check box in front of Last.fm.

Click the configure button for the service to add your last.fm account
data and activate "Submit tracks" to scrobble played tracks. I'm not
sure if "Retrieve similar artists" is currently usable.

You can access the Last.fm "radios" from the right sidebar: click the
internet tab, and select the last.fm service.

Looks like kdelibs5-dev is missing on your system:

hotplug support is integrated into udev now. Read udev's changelog for

Xorg + nvidia drivers don't work worse than with XFree here.

Nothing is removed but replaced by packages with new names which was
necessary because of the C++ compiler transition process.

I had no problem with the current KDE so far. At least there seem to
be not more bugs than in older KDE packages. ;)

Take a look at the docs, especially for the new udev-package, because
the configuration of hotplug changed.

Hi Jonathan,

I ran into similar problems a few month ago. fam is a daemon that
monitors file changes. But you can simply replace fam by gamin, it's
smaller in size, needs less ressources and I never notices such
strange behaviours like the one you described with gamin.

This whole discussion's been turned into the wrong direction. The
question was not about which HTML engine is the best, but wether it
was possible to use gecko with Konqueror as it is shipped by Debian.
And the answer to this is plain and simple: no.

Especially in the OS community it's not the default policy to try to
force users to use one solution, but to let him decide what he likes
most or suites his needs most.

It had been packaged some time ago, but was removed because nobody

It's not. In easy terms: You count your swap space as "memory" as
well, it's simply mapped into the addressable space of your system.
It's similar for the graphic card's memory.

> What I don't know (and you didn't say) is what the right tool is.

You could simply subtract the size of your card's memory from the
value you get with top or ps.
For more detailed information on memory usage:
# cat /proc/`pidof X`/status | grep ^Vm

Your problem seems to match the one I've noticed about 1 year ago.
Please take a look at Bug#216463
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=216463).

The solution was to remove the empty directiory /usr/share/config that
was (probably) left by an early installation and create the symlink
/usr/share/config => /etc/kde3.

It is. KMail creates some hidden index files and might use different
folder names for Inbox, Sent, etc. than you configured for your mutt
setup. It even recognizes the Status: header and shows mails you
already read in mutt as "not new".

A bigger problem is that KMail handles subfolders differently. While
you create a subdirectory in mutt, KMail creates a directory called
`..directory'.  is still a normal mbox
folder, so you can store mails in it and it's subfolders located in
the created hidden directory. KMail doesn't show "normal" directories
in ~/Mail/ at all.

Hi again,

this one is easy to fix. Open KDE's control center, go to `Sound &
Multimedia' -> `Mixer'.
If you don't want KDE to change your mixer settings on startup you
will have to uncheck the `Load volumes on login'  box. If you want the
mixer settings being the same every time you start KDE then keep the
box checked, change the mixer volumes as you prefer and klick the
`Save current volumes' button.

I get the same output. Looking over the bugreports for kmix on
bugs.kde.org there seem to be some issues unsolved especially when
using ALSA's native interface and/or kernel 2.6.x. I always configure
every application to use the OSS devices.

Are you sure that KDE (especially kmix) isn't remuting the mixer on start?
While mpg123 is playing something artsd won't be able to take over the
DSP-Device but to adjust the mixer settings. Open kmix again and
recheck the settings.

If there's something wrong with your alsa modules dmesg or
/var/log/messages could be a good starting point as well.

What does mpg123 say when you start it _after_ kde is loaded? Is it
simply freezing doing nothing?

Try (as root):
# lsof /dev/snd/*
or
# lsof /dev/sound/*

to see what programs are accessing the sound devices.


I'm running a FM801 card by myself never seeing any such problems.

It's the same. Actually i tried your example and did change the
background-color to red and the color to yellow. Buttons and input
fields on www.kde.org f.e. appeared as expected.

Another possibility could be that the site explicitly defines values
for those attributes you're having problems with.

Hi Jan,
I just tried changing the backgorund color of an input element and it
works fine.
But changes to the .css file doesn't seem to be noticed by running
instances of konqueror. Maybe you just need to restart your konqueror?
