Re: Last apt-get upgrade broke kdm
Hi Doug, Yah, this bit me too. Someone has posted a debian bug report already, but here's a solution that another person posted. Edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and change the "AuthDir" entry to /dev/null [General] AuthDir=/dev/null# /var/lib/kdm ConfigVersion=2.0 PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid Xservers=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers On Sunday 08 June 2003 04:03 pm, Doug Holland wrote: | After running dselect and updating my packages (among them, the xfree86 | packages,) kdm is now broken.

Hi Jason, I've written a KDE Kicker applet called KPop3Applet that is basically KBiff. It's quite configurable. Below is a screenshot. The problem is I haven't released it yet. Although the program works very well, the "./configure" stuff isn't correct, and that stuff is really a bear to set up. If you, or anyone else can help me with the ./configure stuff, I can release it. --ernie <>
Re: Mouse problems after upgrading to Woody (X4)
I've seen a problem with the GPM program stealing mouse events away from X. Try turning off GPM if you have it running. --ernie On Sunday 09 September 2001 12:51 pm, Hendrik Sattler wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > Am Sonntag, 9.
