Re: polish characters

I tried configuring the keyboard layout in control center, selected the polish keyboard layout, but cannot find where all the language-specific characters are. In fact, it seems that the US layout is still being used. It would help to have some application that shows where each character is on the keyboard. Macs have something where you shown a keyboard layout and the keys change colors, depending on which one you press, as well as showing the modified keys after shift, ctrl, alt. Anyone know an equivalent of that? Unless I'm way off base here (and I certainly could be), Polish uses an accented Latin alphabet, so the standard X Compose stuff would work. Go into KControl - Regional Accessibility, Keyboard Layout, select the Xkb Options tab, and check one of the options under Compose Key in the big list-o-checkboxes. I use Right Alt. Then you can compose accented characters with key combos, e.g.: compose+slash, l = ł compose+single-quote, o = ó compose+semicolon, e = ę ...and so on. I have this handy shellscript that lets me paste a letter from KCharSelect, and it will show the key combo to enter it: #!/bin/sh dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale dir=$dir/`sed -n s#\([^/]*\)/.*:.*$LANG#\1#p \ $dir/locale.dir` grep -F $1 $dir/Compose just run it and pass it a single character as an argument, e.g.: $ ./compose.sh é dead_acute e: é eacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE Multi_key acute e : é eacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE Multi_key apostrophe e: é eacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE combining_acute e : é eacute # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE $ Those are the possible combos for entering that character - you're interested in the Multi_key sequences.

I didn't have anything checked on the 'compose' key option of the Xkb tab, but never had any problems using other layouts with accented characters. e.g. I often use the spanish and french layouts which I'm fairly familiar with, so to write é, I simply type (assuming the keyboard itself has an english layout) the double quotes followed immediately by the letter e. I guess using a 'compose' key would help in cases where you're not familiar with a keyboard layout (as in my current case!). But what do you do when a letter can have more than one type of accent? I'd imagine you use your script below. I found most of the combos out just by fooling around, i.e.: compose+single-quote, e = é compose+backtick, e = è compose+double-quote, e = ë compose+tilde, e = ẽ compose+carat, e = ê The modifiers are pretty standard, i.e. compose+double-quote, some-letter will put umlauts over that character; same goes for the grave accents. ...and so on. I have this handy shellscript that lets me paste a letter from KCharSelect, and it will show the key combo to enter it: The problem is that I can't even find the polish accented characters in KCharSelect. I haven't looked at all the fonts, but doing that everytime I need to find a character seems extremely inefficient to me. Do you use KCharSelect in a better way? I just visually scan the contents of the tables. Table 0 seems to have most of the accented Latin-1 characters. You may also be able to find a character by googling it's name on the site: fileformat.info. They have a map of all of Unicode, and you should be able to turn up what you're looking for. Your script looks great for other cases where I /can/ find the character! It's not actually mine, I found it online somewhere. But you're welcome nonetheless.

aRts can't play ogg vorbis files since 3.4.0
Ever since I upgraded to the KDE 3.4.0 packages on alioth, aRts has been unable to play ogg vorbis files. I originally thought this was the issue with losing system notifications, but it's a problem with aRts as a whole. WAV and MP3 files play just fine. For example, if I run: $ artsplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.ogg the command returns, but no sound is played. Any app which uses aRts is affected. I can't play ogg files in noatun, amarok, kaboodle, and so on. They play fine in XMMS. It's not my settings, unless the defaults are broken. I created a test user and logged in as them- exact same problem. I also jacked aRts' verbosity all the way up and started it from Konsole. It spit this out when I issued the artsplay command: -- snip -- UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 9 search playobject, extension = ogg creating OGGPlayObject to play file /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.ogg outputStream created OGGPlayObject_impl loadMedia OGGPlayObject_impl::getPlugin DecoderBaseObject_impl::streamStart play: 1 nukePlugin _STREAM_STATE_WAIT_FOR_END xrun!! xrun!!

I have tried purging all these packages (with --force-depends) and reinstalling, to no avail. I have also twiddled with every option in the Sound System control panel, disabling each feature one-by-one. It still fails. But here's where things get truly weird. If I decode the ogg file to WAV, aRts plays it fine. If I reencode it to MP3, it fails in exactly the same way as the original ogg. MP3s which I have ripped from my CDs play fine. Oggs ripped from CD do not play. So, the summary is: - Wavs play fine all the time - Oggs do not play at all - MP3s play, unless they're short sound-bites like the system notifications Has anyone else had this problem?

From previous posts in the list, it seems you need to remove
~/.kde/share/config/knotify{.eventsrc,rc}. They are regenerated
afterwards, so if you can send us a diff between the working and
non-working versions, perhaps we can find out something.

Right. There is a bug in the kdebase 3.3.2-1 (3.3.2-2 is ready in
SVN, but not uploaded) that incorrectly puts the greeter libs in
kdebase-bin, instead of kdm.
We tend to minimize the number of uploads since they are costly for
us, but since this is an important issue, I've finally got around to
prepare fixed packages. Just apt-get update apt-get upgrade should
solve now. (It will install new versions of kdebase-bin 3.4.0 and kdm
3.3.2.)
Sorry for the inconvenience.
No problem. The unofficial kdm 3.4.0 package solved my problem. I think I'll
stick with it until kdm 3.4.0 has a more official package.

Re: Problem with new kdelibs in sid

For example k3b reports the following error when starting: (snip) Also, on a fresh kde install kpersonalizer and kalarm both crash. anyone else experiencing the same problem? Running sarge with KDE packages from sid. Upgraded to the most recent kdelibs et al last night. No problems. I thought it might be a QT problem, since it died in QSpinBox in the backtrace you provided. I'm running the version of QT that's in sid, too, though. I see that libstdc++5 had a new version uploaded to unstable yesterday. Perhaps that's your problem; I'm using the sid version of every other package I can see in that backtrace. For reference, I'm running: libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-6sarge1.2 libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.3-4.1 kdelibs* 4:3.3.0-2 libc6 libc6-i686 2.3.2.ds1-16

Now i don't know if a bugreport should be filled against libstdc++5 or against another package. Any hint? I'd recommend libstdc++5, since downgrading that fixed your problem.

Re: Win key in KDE
On Monday 20 September 2004 03:07 am, Nikita V. Youshchenko wrote: Hello. Some time ago, you wrote at debian-kde: Starting with KDE 3.2, the Win key (well, on my keyboard it's actually a penguin) has acquired the nasty habit of opening the K-Menu when I just press and release it without pressing any other keys. It still works as a modifier, but, in addition, when used on its own, it opens the the K-Menu. I'd really like to get rid of this behavior! Have you found any solution for this? I believe this behavior varies with the keyboard layout you select[1]. My setup[2] does not exhibit the issue you describe; the Win key acts only as a modifier. You may be able to work around this by going into the Keyboard Shortcuts CC module and changing the Panel - Popup Launch Menu shortcut(s). [1]: Control Center - Regional Accessibility - Keyboard Layout [2]: Sarge, KDE 3.3.0 from sid, Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard. There isn't a NatMM layout shipped with X, so I'm using the similar Natural Pro layout.
[Semi-OT]: Amarok opens UDP socket
Semi-OT because amaroK isn't an official package yet. I was recently locking down the network services enabled on my workstation. While looking around, I noticed a UDP socket I didn't recognize: $ netstat -anu Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State udp0 0 0.0.0.0:33484 0.0.0.0:* Not recognizing this, I fired up lsof: $ lsof -i UDP COMMANDPID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME amarokapp 6623 ieure 27u IPv4 19195 UDP *:33484 Investigating further, it seems like this socket is left open after clicking on the 'Fetch stream information' button in the Streams tab. It isn't opened when amaroK starts. Does anyone know why this listener is laying around?

KDE Styles broken in sarge
I just updated my sarge desktop today, and I can only select the built-in QT styles now. (CDE, MS Windows 9x, Motif, Motif Plus, Platinum SGI) There were some QT updates when I updated this morning, but I didn't pay too much attention to what got replaced. I've purged my system of old (non- c102) QT packages, and reinstalled kdelibs4. When I ldd the KDE styles (in /usr/lib/kde3/plugins/styles), I don't see any broken library dependencies. Anyone else seeing this? Anyone know how to fix it?
KDE 3.2.2 for woody?
Does anyone have a source for this? 3.2.0 is the latest I've been able to find.
Re: [kde] setting an /opt precedent
On Thursday 17 January 2002 11:37 am, Eray Ozkural (exa) wrote: It should - but as of my current base-files, it does not. /opt should be created as the FHS calls for it to be for third party software. KDE is not third party software in Debian. So it seems you were the smart person who thought add-on in FHS necessarily meant third party although there is not the slightest implication of such a thing in FHS itself. You make an interesting point - the FHS very clearly states: Distributions may install software in /opt... It also calls the restrictions placed on distributions using /opt minor. I suppose the closest thing Debian has to add-on software would be packages with priority optional or extra. I agree that installing KDE into /opt sucks, and (technical implementation problems aside) while it does not violate the FHS, it violates my sense of aesthetics.
font MADNESS
yes, yes, i read the archives. give me a sec here, k? :) so yeah, i had the same no-font problem as everyone else. with a few twists. i went and downloaded ~1600 truetype fonts, setup xfs-xtt, and was happy. well, almost happy. 1. with that many fonts, _everything_ kde slows to a crawl. launching konqueror took upwards of a minute. i could open netscape 4.x, get the info i needed, and close it before konqueror would start sometimes. this went away when i dropped down to ~8 or so tt fonts. maybe a bug in xfs-xtt? 2. i think this may also be a bug in xfs-xtt, but font configuration dialogs for fixed-width fonts don't work properly. they only show one font, fixed, which doesn't actually exist. it just seems to match the first available font, and if that font doesn't have e.g. bold or italic styles, completely different fonts are used for those. i can't get konsole to work properly because of this. maybe i just need a truetype font named fixed? 3. even though the option for aa fonts was turned off in the control panel by default, kde was still using aa. does this option have any effect at all? any suggestions that _don't_ involve turning off aa? running sid, current as of right now. -- .--.:-:.---. | :; ;: i feel the cold knife blade of disgust in my gut, like a shot. | | ;| |; - chemlab, suicide jag | `--||-||---' |. .| . .
