The text gets wrapped at about twice the actual width of the widget, and this makes re-reading the text very painful. It hasn't always been like this in KDE2, I suspect it got introduced somewhere in the 2.1 stage. For example, www.linuxfaq.de, try creating a new entry there. I have also experienced this problem for a while, I am quite sure it got introduced with KDE 2.2 as I never experienced this problem in KDE 2.1. Another thing that has been annoying me in the latest versions is that if there is ever a textarea with animated .gif's on the same page, text input is *extremely* laggy, sometimes it takes up to a second for a character I type to be displayed on the screen, and sometimes some characters seem to just get lost along the way somewhere. I think this problem was introduced some time in the 2.2.2 packages. I am using TT fonts with AA, if anyone has a possible fix, it would be greatly appreciated.

After all, the rules of migration are not laws of physics, nor the word of an almighty lawgiver. They are merely a policy of a human organization. Perhaps I'm really suggesting that the Debian community might be better served if it adopted a more sophisticated and beneficial policy about moving packages from Sid to Woody. It seems to me that if the Woody packages are more than a month older than the packages in Sid, a human should intervene and deliberately move a decent quality more recent version of that SW into Woody. The version moved in needn't be bug free. But, it should be moved if in fact it is an improvement, on the whole, over the month old package in Woody. Along these lines, I am generally in favor of supporting important, although small market share, archetectures. But I think it might me better for the community as a whole to have a stated policy about appropriate times when a package could be moved from Sid to Woody (FSTW) despite that fact that a build was lacking/lagging for a minor market share processor (MMSP). It's a tradeoff. A large part of the community is in fact hurt to some finite extent by making everyone wait due to a MMSP build not being available. Perhaps the policy might be that a package could be moved FSTW if all but 1 (or 2? n?) MMSF builds were available. A similar line of reasoning would apply to bugs - It's ok to move it if there are mot major bugs that cause extensive loss of functionality. Caveat: I'm not a package maintainer, so have only a Debian user's perspective on this issue. And, also don't know if developers have considered rejected this idea already, for some reason. Is the above an idea that would be beneficial to be considered by the larger (not just KDE) Debian community? Would it be possible for the K-D community to have a policy of moving KDE specific packeges FSTW different from that of Debian's general policy? Or, maybe there is a way for a maintainer to accomplish this without a policy change - Ex: not upload a new package for a few days, giving the existing Sid package enough time to reach the (what is it?) 2 week stable time so it could migrate on its own. Six months - to me even 1.5 months - just seems like _too long_. This issue has come up time and time again on the debian-devel mailing list, I suggest you read the archives to clarify. But just to summarize some of the discussions that have gone on. The point of Woody is to help prepare for the next stable release of Debian. Moving in more recent packages that have bugs in them to replace outdated packages that don't is a step in the wrong direction. Just because a package is outdated by several months does not mean it should be replaced by a new buggy version. However, I do agree that for something like KDE, if seriously broken packages end up in Woody (as has happened in the past, not sure about the status now) perhaps there should be a way to accellerate the transition process. Perhaps filing SID tagged RC bugs against certain KDE packages until they are all ready to move in to Woody would help synchronize the package versions. But again, please read the previous discussions on this issue to clarify.

HS Thanks, making the directory with the same permissions as /var/lib/cddb/ got this working, seems the problem is solved, except for the fact that I have make directories for every genre I ever use... *sigh*. Well, thanks anyway. KK

Re: fixed width fonts for konsole

The only two that seem to work that I've found are the various forms of courier and Lucida console, both of which look at best, horrible, and at worst, unreadable. 'v' and 'V' look rather too similar - I spent nearly 2 hours trying to debug some python code that was referencing cursor.oidValue instead of cursor.oidvalue thanks to that one :-( Is there a truetype or type1 equivalent to fixed/misc out there? If you run Konsole with the --noxft option, it turns off the anti-aliasing and lets you use your standard fonts, I find this works best. - Kamil
Re: Font problem with 2.2
On September 24, 2001 23:12, Michael Meskes wrote: Could anypone please tell me which font to use? :-) Okay, here's the situation. I configured my system to display the Euro symbol. To do so I of course need a 8859-15 font. And that's where the problem starts. As a matter of fact I need the Euro symbol in just a handful of applications one being konsole. There are just 2 8859-15 fonts available unless you use anti-aliasing. I do like to way KDE looks with anti-aliasing but konsole is rendered almost useless with it. I get vertical lines every two or three letters, I get a display that is not correctly erased etc. For instance I run an ls -R and some lines still contain pixels from before the scrolling. Then I run clear and still have quite some stuff lying around. Causing a redraw by iconizing and de-iconizing the windows clears it correctly. Do I miss a configuration option? Or do I need some other fonts? One suggestion I got was to install M$ fonts, but I'm not yet willing to do that. Michael P.S.:Please CC me on replies. If you have KDE 2.2.1, you can run konsole --noxft, which will turn off anti-aliased fonts in the konsole and allow you to use all the standard fonts that you could before. For other apps, if you with to turn off AA fonts, just export QT_XFT=0 before you run the app and it will disable AA for it as well (this was the way to turn off AA fonts in Konsole before they added the switch). I hope this is what you are looking for... Kamil Kisiel (TheVo|ce) #debian-kde on irc.openprojects.net
No kdvi package (KDE2.2)
How come there are no Debian packages for kdvi (the DVI viewer for KDE). This program is part of the kdegraphics pacakge, which as I understand, has been split up in to seperate components in Debian, somewhere along the line the kdvi package must have been lost. Will it be included in the upcoming 2.2.1 packages?
Re: Kmail crashes upon receipt or sending of mail
I just upgraded to Debian/Unstable and KDE2.2 today, and found that my KMail was segfaulting. The best way to solve this is to remove/move your ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc file and let it generate a new one, that should fix it.

I am running debian unstable, with the latest kde obtained via apt-get dist-upgrade. I have tried older versions of kmail with the same result, and have tried kernels 2.2.18 as well as 2.4.9 with the same result. The mozilla mail client works ok. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul Winkler
