Re: KDM + environment variables

How can I do that in a KDM/Debian-compatible way (i.e. without requiring root to do dirty things in /etc)? I'm using KDM for login. I want to be able to select different window managers from the login prompt, so I cannot just set up an ~/.xsession file that sets the variable and then starts kde. Is there anything that gets executed upon login (and before starting the window manager) on a per user basis? Or is there at least a chance to set the environment variable in a KDE config file (KDE is what is mostly used)? Here's my .02$, and a method that works for me. Use a file called ~/.xsession, and set your variables there.

Re: Konqueror, UTF-8
Friday 25 July 2003 19.39, Craig Dickson don llet: I find that Konqueror (3.1.2-1.1, current Debian unstable) does not cope with UTF-8 web sites very well; it displays some characters well, and others not, even when Mozilla Firebird on the same machine (in the same KDE session, using the same fonts) can display them all correctly. An example of such a site can be found here: http://aletheuo.ath.cx On my system, if I bring this page up in Konqueror and Firebird side by side, Firebird gets the Greek characters right, and Konqueror trashes some of them. I can also see the Greek correctly on Windows XP with either Mozilla 1.4 or IE 6. Changing locales seems to have no effect; I have tried both en_US and en_US.UTF-8 (the latter of which is my usual locale). I don't see any outstanding bugs related to this. If no one knows of a configuration change that would fix this, I can file a bug. Craig It displays just fine in my cvs konqueror (from orth's packages). Do you use automatic encoding detection? Brre

If I start kde from a console with startx, everything is Ok. But when I am starting kde from kdm, the programs that uses the translated .m4 or .po files, or just have some translated files, does not seems to be in hungarian language (ex.: xchat, licq). They are in english. In the kde control center, I can set up kdm to display the kdm buttons and messages (login, shutdown etc...) in hungarian. So that is ok. The problem is when I start kde from the kdm login manager, it seems, that kdm resets the localisations, and sets the lang to en, or en_US (or something like that). If I start a konsole from kde, and run this: echo $LANG I get hu_HU. That is why I can not understand this problem. It seems, that I am using hu_HU locales, but the kde programs, and other (for example Xchat, or Licq) programs doesn't recognise the hu_HU locales, and falls back to english. And this is all because I started kde from the kdm login manager, and not from console with startx. This is because, when starting from kdm, your ~/.profile (or where ever your environment variables are specified) aren't read. I have a .xsession file that goes something like this: #!/bin/sh export LANG=se_NO.UTF-8 exec /usr/bin/startkde This way the LANG variable is inherited by all programs in the session.

Re: Sid KDE 3.1 upgrade report

Mostly went well, but perhaps I did not get my sources.list quite right for ~ccheney? I have the following lines: deb http://people.debian.org/~ccheney/ kde-3.1.0-1/ deb http://people.debian.org/~ccheney/ kde-other/ Most things installed, but kdenetwork packages from ~ccheney/kde-other got error 404, file not found. Are the above lines not right, or is there a problem in the repository? Also, a few packages from Karolina's repository are not yet available in sid or ~ccheney. The ones I particularly want are kgamma and noteedit. I gather noteedit has recently been adopted, so hopefully we'll see a new build of that soon in Sid. Will someone be making a kgamma package? A couple of things continue to annoy me about KDE which it seems (to me) that I can't be the only person bothered by them. So perhaps there are solutions I don't know about for these issues: 1. Keyboard repeat rate. KDE Control Center lets you enable or disable keyboard repeat, but you cannot set the initial delay time or repeat rate. 2. Locale setting. KDE keeps leaving me with LANG=C. I have selected English, USA in KDE Control Center's locale panel, but this seems not to have any effect on the environment variables visible in Konsoles. 3. Mouse buttons. I have a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse with both a wheel and extra side buttons. KDE seems to offer no convenient way to initialize this correctly so that the scroll wheel works right. 4. There seems to be no KDE-specific per-user init script for customization of the environment. My current hacked-up fix for this is to give myself a fix for #4 by invoking $HOME/.kdestart from /etc/kde3/debian/startkde, just after the invocation of ksplash. In $HOME/.kdestart, I call xmodmap to set up the mouse buttons, kbdrate to set up the keyboard repeat rate, and invoke my $HOME/.bash_profile to initialize my environment. Are there better solutions? Craig You can make a file ~/.xsession . X uses this as a startup file.
