Hanging kdeinit processes.

Mosfet Liquid problem - liquid debs installed, but cannot select theme.
Subject says it all. I'm running the freshest KDE .debs (3.0.3), but lately, even though I have the Mosfet Liquid theme debs installed, I can't select that theme in the Themes control panel applet. I get the Mosfet's Liquid applet in the Control Panel, and I get the Liquid splash screen when KDE starts up, but I can't find the Liquid theme when I try to switch themes. The last time this happened, it was because a new version of qt-mt became available. That time, it broke a whole bunch of KDE themes, and it took a new set of KDE .debs compiled against the new Qt to solve the problem. I'm suspecting the same thing here - the Mosfet Liquid debs are compiled against an older version of Qt, so they need to be rebuild using current libraries. Is anyone going to do this? Doug
Anti-aliased fonts just broke - how do I fix?
I just ran dselect to bring my system up to date. That ended up involving an update of KDE (3.0.3) and of X (Brandon's X 4.2 packages.) Now anti-aliased fonts just mysteriously stopped working. I did verify that anti-aliasing was checked in the Fonts control center applet. How do I fix this?

If i try to compile it by hand it complaints that QT headers and libs are not installed, altough dpkg -l | grep qt shows that the libqt3-dev package is installed. Anyone with who has the same problem or even better an solution. Anyway thanks for the 3.0.3 debs the work great-. My guess is that the Mosfet Liquid Style also needs to be recompiled to work with the newest version of the qt-mt libs. We just need to wait for fresh debs.
dselect holding back KDE packages - WHY?
For some reason, dselect and apt-get are refusing to upgrade my KDE packages to 3.0.3. When I try to upgrade one of the packages, I get the following error. # apt-get upgrade kdelibs4 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages have been kept back amor cervisia eyesapplet fifteenapplet kaphorism karbon kbabel kbabel-dev kbugbuster kchart kdeartwork-screensaver kdeartwork-style kdeartwork-theme-window keduca kformula kgeo kicker-applets kivio klettres kmessedwords kmoon kmtrace kodo koffice-dev koffice-libs kompare kontour koshell kpresenter kspread kspy kstars kteatime ktouch ktux kugar kvoctrain kweather kword kworldclock 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 40 not upgraded. So how to I tell apt-get to Shut up and do it!? Where's the apt-get equivalent of rpm --force? I really want these upgrades, and apt-get's stubbornness is frustrating.
Re: no mosfet liquid 9.5 style - other components there though
IIRC, a recent update of Qt-mt broke all the KDE styles. A fresh release of the KDE debs should solve this problem. On Tuesday 06 August 2002 09:33 pm, Michael Sullivan wrote: I did that.

Chris Ah, that explains why Mosfet Liquid broke this morning.

Re: Fonts

KDE seems to automatically default to using the first font as the default. In my case, this is a symbolic font. Opening KDE gives a destop where everything is displayed as gibberish. I'm able to open CC, and change the fonts (which isn't easy when you can't read any of the menus.) However, even after doing so, not everything is fixed. On my laptop, the text under desktop icons look like a series of squared-off, underlined 'U's. The Lt. Skat card game still uses a non-readable font. And Konsole is entirely hosed. Regardless of which font I select, spacing between words and letters is way off, clearing the screen leaves garbage all over it, etc. Are these known problems? Are there any known fixes? Thanks in advance for any assistance. I've seen this problem, and found that the KDE3 packages fixed a lot of those problems. As far as getting Konsole working, you need to pick a fixed-width font, such as Andale Mono or Courier New. The variable width fonts get totally screwed up in Konsole. At least that what worked for me... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't get kpilot installed
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Apparently a library kpilot depends on, libpisock5, has its dependencies all borked up. When I try to install it using dselect, I get the dependency error libpisock5 depends on libpisock5 (= 0.10.99-1). When I run apt-get install kpilot, I get the following: # apt-get install kpilot Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Getting kde3 session type into kdm from KDE 2.2.2
OK, I just downloaded and installed the experimental KDE 3.0 debs from http://www.geniussystems.net/KDE3 Experimental/. I'm still running KDE 2.2.2, straight from the official debs, and I DO NOT want it screwed up. I do want to add a kde3 sesson to my kdm login screen (using kdm from KDE 2.2.2) so I can pick a kde2 session or kde3 session, and have either of them working without stepping on each other's toes. What is the correct most painless way to do this? Ideally, the kde3 option would automagically execute export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde3 export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3 export PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH export PREFERRED=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde so the system Does The Right Thing instead of mixing in kde2 stuff, while the kde2 option runs KDE 2.2.2 as if nothing ever happened. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
