Bummer, perhaps is unique to my system. k3b continually locks up on the splash screen when scanning the devices. No probs when using a 2.4 kernel. Jeff
Re: k3b packages for testing purposes
They seem to work fine under kernel 2.4.25 using ide-scsi, but k3b still locks up solid using 2.6.3 without ide-scsi. Jeff
kde 3.2:knotes
On my wife's powerpc, the knotes app is spawning multiple notes when started. And each time you start it more notes are added. It's running sid as is my i386 box, but the app is fine on the i386. Didn't google anything or see anything in the archives... Help?

kdm: authentication failure
Since upgrading to KDE3.2, kdm will no longer allow autologin, giving me an authentication failure. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks, Jeff Elkins

Not a KDE problem at all, but it turns out that fc-cache somehow trashed my /etc/fonts/fonts.config file. Luckily, I had an original... There's only a 2 byte difference between the original and the post fc-cache file, and I'm still trying figure out what was changed by looking at a diff. Jeff Elkins
Font problem
I run a self-compiled KDE 3.1 from /opt. I just ran fc-cache (XFree 4.3.0) and suddenly my console font is "invisible." I can boot to another partition that runs a prior version of X (same KDE from /opt) and all is fine. Any clue on how I reverse the screwup? Thanks, Jeff Elkins

Re: Where is kdenetwork, where is Chris?
I'm a Debian newbie/refugee from RedHat and don't consider myself particularly unqualified to use Sid. And yes, I'm wondering where KDE 3.1 (complete) is and why I can't use apt-get to install it rather than compiling my own. I have searched the archives and they don't provide the info. I don't understand why this is an unreasonable question. I need to install KDE 3.1 on two slow iMac powerpc boxes and apt-get would beat the heck out of compiles. In general, my experience with Sid has been fine. Jeff Elkins http://www.elkins.org
3.1 & Sid
Hello List, I've got a partial 3.1 installation running on an Imac, partial due to missing packages in unstable. I understand that there are "unofficial" packages available. Are they i386 only? What do I need to add to sources.list to obtain them? Thanks Jeff Elkins
