This package (kdeprint_3.0.4) appears to be corrupt. I get a bad md5sum error downloading trying to install also say package tar is corrupt. What is the method for reporting such errors. Email ? someone. This list is my contact point with Debian KDE although I grabbed these packages from a KDE mirror. -- Greg C. Madden Debian GNU/Linux

I ran update-menus, which churned over a bit, but nothing else there. I guess I am not sure what integration there is supposed to be; I assumed an openoffice.org menu entry somewhere (Office??). Should there be openoffice icons?? File associations?? Currently, all OpenOffice.org files clicked on from Konqueror will open with ark (as, of course, they are zip files) I am just curious as to whether this is a problem with my system, or if this is just the current state of these debs.

knode, no visible text
I have upgraded my Woody box with KDE3 from kde3.geniussystems. When I try to reply to or create a new message in Knode I do not see any text. I do believe text is present, I can run spell-check and it finds misspelled words. Anyone have the same issue or know where to look for answers. TIA -- Greg C.

Re: KDE freezes on initializing peripherals

Nothing can be done at console. ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't kill X, virtual consoles can't be used. I CAN ssh in, but killing X doesn't bring back console - the KDE start up screen stays until a reboot is done. Interestingly enough prior to getting to initializing perihperals I can use my mouse just fine. If I set KDE to startup at boot I can use my mouse and type in my password just fine (implying both mouse and keyboard are configured correctly in XF86Config) - but after logging in, when it gets to initializing perihperals it again freezes. Another note: I can launch X and twm and it works fine - it's just KDE that has a problem. The logs aren't very helpful here: Last time X-windows/KDE startup froze on me I found my fontpaths in ~/XF86Config-4 were configured wrong. I had just loaded Abiword was trying to deal with Abiwords fontpath requirements. Fontpath issues can include anti-aliasing in KDE I think. -- Greg C.

I actually just figured it out - I switched from using xserver-xfree86 to xserver-svga and it works now. My only problem now is that I get interference sort of. When I scroll in a konsole or other app there's lots of white lines that appear, usually next to or above that application. This also happens when an app opens or closes. Any ideas? afaik, xserver-xfree86 is for Xfree86 ver. 4.x xserver-svga is for Xfree86 ver. 3.x so I don't know if I am much help. -- Greg C.

If you want that then you should try Redhat. snip According to the kde developers no bug fixes are being done for kde2. ALL the work (bug fixes etc.) are being done for kde3 which is not all that different as you have noticed, but for those of us that have standardized our desktops on kde and like bug free performance it (unfortunately) means we have to track the kde releases as the kde developers determine. This is not an attack on the kde developers who are doing,imho, amazing work, as are the Debian developers. -- Greg C.

Re: need help with kdm no.2

I have tried to get it to run with kde on boot but no success. I am obviously missing something important and possibly basic. But I can't fix it. The debian user guide didn't help. It told me to modify files which don't exist. Looking forward to your replies. Drastic but ..Do a 'dpkg -P xdm, gdm, kdm' then 'apt-get install kdm', this assumes that you have a source for KDE for Stable. -- Greg C.

kmaill
I have the latest kmail from unstable running on a testing box. I have set up several filters, created folders subscribed to two Debian lists, user, kde. Sometime during the breakage in KDE I lost the ability to see the messages and headers in one of the debian folders. All the messages are there, the folder in ~/Mail shows new messages being downloaded but they don't show up in Kmail. Anyone seeing this behavior ? A positive note on the KDE issue,while waiting for the fix, I tried out Evolution Galeon, very nice apps, thank you. -- Greg C. Madden Debian GNU/Linux pgpdvwgwHNHTv.pgp Description: PGP signature
