Ralf == Ralf Utermann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ralf Hi Colm, we had pretty much the same problems with the new Ralf kde322 packages. - ssh-agent problem: the new packages Ralf contain a 'standard' /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession file instead of Ralf the correct one, which just integrates in the debian X Ralf server environment. Use the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession form the Ralf 3.2.0 packages ( I attach it in case you don't have it at I eventually figured this one out yesterday after many wasted hours. Ralf hand.) - korganizer lost our calendars, and could not even Ralf merge the backup copies in. Funny enough, it worked, when I found a backup copy of my default calendar in ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/ and copied over and I seem to have all my calendar entries back again. Ralf used within the 'kontact' application ... - menu items are Ralf really srewed up, don't know a fix. This is the single biggest problem I have remaining, and short of compiling my own copy of KDE (which I'm considering doing), like you I have no idea how to fix it.

KDE 3.2.2 upgrade woes
Hi all, Like other reports I also have had a bad experience upgrading my Woody box to the 3.2.2 packages which were released. Here is just some of the problems I've noticed so far. 1. All the shortcuts I had in the file dialog box in numerous applications were eaten. 2. KDM logs in with any password at all and indeed, does the same with no password. 3. KDM no longer uses the ssh-agent to start the session. This was the single thing I liked the most about Debian when I started using it a little over a year ago (well after apt-get). 4. Menus in various applications (well at least the ones I've tried so far) are completely screwed. These include KControl, KGhostView, KPDF, KDVI and Konqueror. I'm nearly certain that the order of items in the window operations menu which pops up in response to a right click changed also (but I can't be sure, I'm going to check this one out more when I downgrade to 3.2.0). Images of the affected applications and some of their menus can be found here http://darwin.ucd.ie/~colmconn/kde3.2.2/ 5. Like the previous report, KOrganizer ate my calander. I hope it enjoyed the meal, I know I didn't. 6. Konsole seems to scroll more slowly. 7. My global keyboard shortcuts were altered when I logged in after the upgrade. On the plus side, of course at least Konqueror's font handling has been fixed, but that's not enough to keep me using 3.2.2. How did I upgrade initially I just did apt-get dist-upgrade and logged back in. When I noticed the menu problems I purged all the just installed KDE packages and reinstalled in the hope that it was just some problem with the install. This did not fix the problems. I've tried the same applications with another account which had never been used to run KDE applications before with the same results. In short I wish I hadn't upgraded. I'm going to downgrade to 3.2.0 later today, bad and all as its Konqueror's font handling was at least I could use the applications. The single thing I miss the most is the ssh-agent starting the xsession. I usually spawn loads of jobs on numerous boxes over the course of a day and only being asked for my password once when I logged into my machine was a godsend. Any ideas on getting this fucntionality back would be most appreciated. Anyway, that's just my 2 cent worth. Regards, -- _\\|//_ ( O-O ) ---o00--(_)--00o-- Colm G.

problems upgrading to kde 3.2 on woody
Hi all, I'm having problems upgrading from 3.1.4 to the KDE 3.2 debs on my woody desktop. I've added the appropriate lines for my local mirror to my sources.list file did apt-get update but when I run apt-get -d dist-upgrade all I get is the following (I added -d cos I was a little hesitant about what it might do to my main desktop machine, but wanted to see what it would download) It appears as if most of what apt wants to do is remove practically everything. Any ideas on how I go about diagnosing the source of the problem would be greatly appreciated. In case it makes any difference I run xfree86 4.2.1-15.backports.org.1 from backports.org.
