Amarok MP3
Hi list, I am running sid, with dist-upgrade as of yesterday, with the new 4.3.2 kde packages, looking good. I am having one problem though, which someone might be able to help me with. When I startup amarok, I get a little dialogue box which reports: arts-engine claims it cannot play mp3 files. I have searched on google for this problem, but only see people reporting this on Fedora and Suse with respect to not distributing mp3 decoders due to licensing. Has debian gone a similar way? Or is there something else I need to install, or is there some file in ~/.kde I need to remove to get the engine to work. Appreciate any help, Thanks, Greg.

Re: k3b splash screen wont go away before I click on it
Yes, kind of. My k3b will do all sorts of weird things. Usually the splash screen goes away eventually, but takes quit a while, at a guess up to about 1 minute. Then I get some weird errors. The problem is, I can not reproduce it successfully, it is random. When it works it works great. One thing I found yesterday, was that having a mounted cd really upset it on startup.

Issues with kde 3.2
Just letting you know the things I have had problems with, after upgrading to kde 3.2 from people.debiand.org/~[ccheney|bab]... Am using iX86, unstable (sid). Kopete has an undifined symbol with kopete_irc.so. Moving this file allows kopete to start, but no IRC is available. klaptopdaemon is still an old version. Styles, sometimes the wrong style is selected in the stype config window, but another style is being used. (more investigation required) And what is with the fonts.? Thanks to Chris and Ben and HereOn and anybody and everybody else who has been involved. Greg
Re: Aegypten for sid's KMail?
I install some stuff and compile the rest. I was going to build debs, I just haven't had a chance. I compile pinentry, libksba, gpgme, and newpg. The rest is in debs. Beware I had a problem with the latest libgcrypt so I am running 1.1.12-1. Start up script for kmail. killall gpg-agent eval `gpg-agent --daemon` kmail $@ Greg On Thu, 22 May 2003 06:05, Hendrik Sattler wrote: Hi, are those packages somewhere available? If not I'll compile it myself. But how can I start gpg-agent in a smart way? Problem: I get a pgp encrypted mail (multipart) and even though I did not specify any OpenGPG modules, it complains about it. It's not even possible to view the part by icons thus making a manual gpg call easier. Any recommendations?

Hey just following this thread and have found that I do have update-menus, but seem to be missing kde-update-menu and kdm-update-menu called from update-menus On further investigation it appears both scripts are not set executable. running latest unstable. shall I file a bug report for this?

How do I fix that? Thank you very much for any replies, Zim These are controlled by Debians own menu tools, which is usually included and should be called during the postinst scripts. try running, as root, update-menus If this doesn't exist, apt-cache search update-menus should tell you which package it's in. apt-get install that and you should be O.K. _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Re: agypten gpg-agent segfaults
FYI something between libgcrypt 1.1.12-1 and 1.1.12-2 broke. so if you run into that problem that is the answer.
