Konqueror and Google issues?

2007-01-26 Thread Michael Peddemors
Anyone notice any strange things with Google blocking browser specific 
queries?  Was doing some normal googling in Konqueror.., and got the 
following message.


*** QUOTED  
We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus 
or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the

And in keeping with that, we HAD been acting as a slave DNS for kalyxo, but of 
course that has not been of any use for a while.  We are dropping ourselves 
as a slave for kalyxo.org, but if it is needed, we can offer the same

Re: kmail no longer finds account info

2005-01-19 Thread Michael Peddemors
This issue seems to affect korganizer, kaddressbook, kmail and possibly other 
applications during a system crash.. We have seen everything from the file 
name with hundreds of .backup extensions.. ie.. 

.backup.backup.backup.. ...

Also, what happens is that it blindly overwrites existing personal config 
files with a new blank one, (It should check that if it is missing, restore 
backup, but it doens't) and then when you open/exit the program and find the 
missing info, by that time it overwrites the legitimate backup with a backup 
of the empty file, so you have lost everything.  I am sure that many bug 
reports must have been filed on this issue, so check there first, but you 
probably have to restore the config files from backup, or recreate the 
information that they contained.

Re: KDE 3.2.2: Konqueror, icons appear two times

2004-10-22 Thread Michael Peddemors
Mentioned on list already, this is because the programs aren't looking 
to /etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc, you can work around this by adding a link to 
this from the users .kde/share/config/ui/ui_standards.rc, however this is a 
work around, and I have not seen a better solution as yet on the list.

I suggest that someone else can shed more light on this.

Missing Text Items... Tracked Down.

2004-10-09 Thread Michael Peddemors
Just an FYI for anyone upgrading from 3.1.4 to 3.2.xx series, the gotcha in 
the woody debs, is that the new packages in some cases (kedit,kpdf etc) only 
look for the ~/.kde/share/config/ui/ui_standards.rc only, and not the 
default /etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc file.  

Possibly new users will get this file created, I did not check yet.

Without that file in the users home directories, the app specific text items 
will only show.  This also causes duplicate items somehow, but was resolved 
also by adding this file.

Really, the programs should be looking for the presence of a default standards 
file, if the users one is missing.

I am not on the developers list, but someone who is might see if this is 
already mentioned there.

I should also note that the issue about korganizer swallowing your

I just went through an upgrade again.. (Someone accidentally set KDE source to 
latest on a box, and the next guy went upgrade )

3.1.4 -> latest

If you are going to try.. start off by replacing the 3.1.4 source line to..

deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian stable main
deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xfree86 woody main
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/debian-openoffice/ woody-test main contrib

And do a remove of openoffice.org1.1-mimelnk, as that deb is left installed.. 
Do it first will save you some troubles.. 

Remember, this upgrades Xfree, so be ready for a lot of questions..

In our case we lost..

kdepim-libs kivio koffice-libs libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev openoffice.org1.1 
openoffice.org1.1-bin openoffice.org1.1-debian-files 
openoffice.org1.1-help-en openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en qt3-dev-tools xpdf 
xpdf-reader

And after install we had the following held back..

libnspr4 libnss3 libpaperg mozilla mozilla-browser mozilla-mailnews 
mozilla-psm xlibmesa-dev aspell debhelper 

'aspell' had to remove.. 
'debhelper' worked by doing apt-get install
'libpaperg' worked by doing apt-get install
'xlibmesa-dev' worked by doing an apt-get install

The mozilla stuff won't install, as it has dependency issues..  However, I 
think we can move to firefox or similar..

So an 'apt-get remove libnspr4 libnss3 mozilla mozilla-browser 
mozilla-mailnews mozilla-psm' cleaned the system up to a stable state again.

Then install 'mozilla-firefox' if you want..

But the upgrade was a lttle easier this time than last..

We still have a few problems on the upgrade path to 3.2 series on Woody, but 
clients are hollering about the 3.1.4 sources missing.  Anyone know why/where 
the 3.1.xx series for Woody went?

As well, is the debconf dependency error for 3.2.xx series fixed up?

Try ..

If you are daring, read previous threads on issues with dependencies.

Oh, and BTW, you should look at some of the newer methods of building kde 
rather than from tarballs..  Oh, and next time something changes, remember, 
you can always open up your browser, and follow the source tree, and you will 
see if indeed they are removed.. Often a readme will tell you what happened.

Thanks, but from a dependency standpoint, you still have to pin it.  Otherwise 
it wants to take the debconf from kde in precedence..  It would be nice if 
that was fixed, then with this simple apt list..

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian stable main

The average person can keep up with his `apt-get upgrade`  and still have the 
latest KDE.  Oh, and of course add that new source for OO that you previously 
sent. ;)

Spoke maybe too soon, as debconf still is an issue..
debconf on the download.kde.org site requires the 0.9b-20020814-1 version of 
dialog.. which is marked as a conflict (the older version), so apt-get will 
try to remove it, which chain reacts..

The only version of dialog 0.9b available that I can find, and none in either 
the download.kde.org or standard woody packages, requires newer libc6 stuff.

So either the debconf maintainer on the kde.org site, should make a dialog 
available, or change the dependency :)


.. but nothing except `apt-get upgrade` and `apt-get install debconf`. are 
affected now, even kdebase went in..

Thanks, the dependency problem was there.

ii  xfree86-common   4.3.0.dfsg.1-0.woody X Window System (XFree86) 

But that requires a recent debconf, > 1.2.9 which doesn't get installed using 
only the 3.2.2 sources, and kde woody sources.. And if I manually get the deb 
for 1.4.30 then it needs the b version of dialog, which screws everything up.

Going back to the version from download fixed this problem.

Now kdeprint happily installs.

Re: libqt-mt => libqt3c102-mt

2004-08-03 Thread Michael Peddemors
The last approved KDE version on Woody that we would approve for our support 
clients was 3.1.4 also..

I have never yet got a woody box up without complications on 3.2.2, however 
grateful to Andrea we are for those debs..  And by the looks of it, we will 
move to sarge before this is resolved..

A major part of this is the backports for xfree86 that are needed, which were 
needed to install 3.2.2, but even things like openoffice1.1 need older 
packages.  fontconfig which is needed by a bunch of stuff, comes from the new 
xfree stuff, and conflicts with needed packages.. and kdebase, reports that 
it needs newer versions of packages, which are installed but for some reason 
not detected, that i havent' had time to resolve..

(Actually, kdebase relies on kdeprint, which relies on gv, which relies on gs, 
which relies on gs-common, which relies on defoma, which relies on dialog, 
which wants to replace everything in order to upgrade on this machine, 
because debconf relies on it, and dialog got corrupted in the update to 3.2.2 
in the first place somehow when upgrading to new xfree)

Now it seems that the debconf installed wants at least dialog 9b, but apt-get 
still wants to install 9a, so manually trying to install 9b says that I need 
a newer libc6 than what will install via apt-get, so at the end of the day, I 
end up with a libc6 conflict.  apt-get -f install said remove dialog, which I 
did :))  Now all I have is a fontconfig which won't upgrade, so I did a 
remove (tried), but it complained about xlibs.. So I tried an 'install' on 
fontconfig, and it wanted gsfonts-x11, but that could not go in, because 
Depends: xutils (>= 4.1.0-12) but xutils is already at 4.3.0.dfsg.1-0.woody.
Go figure.. Dependency hell...  At least with apt-cache and dpkg, we can see 
what the problems are..  If you can wade through it all)

We had to do like everyone else, and start aiming for sarge and not woody 
anymore for the clients, if we want them to keep up to date with a simple 
'apt-get update/upgrade'

These are usually ghosts of messages that were sent, or moved, but the index

PS, *grumble* Just lost kaddressbook directory, and all it's contents, did a 
file system check, and the only thing reported was a fifo gone south.. 
Kaddressbook now eats a ton of memory, and doesn't recreate the local

The packages themselves are meant to handle dependencies, that is the beauty

I expected that, that is why the dependency forced a certain version of

If you notice, I am NOT using unstable, but WOODY..
Again, I am doing testing of the upgrade, for our clients are going to run 
into the same issues..   This is to point out that there are some dependency 
problems that prevent an apt-get upgrade, or apt-get install in moving to 
this version of KDE..

I have the ability to deal with these issues, others on the list may not.

KDE 3.2.2 for Woody... Careful upgrading..

2004-04-19 Thread Michael Peddemors
Hmm.. THis was the worst KDE upgrade in a long while..
Had to delete 1/2 of KDE to get the upgrade to work, from KDE 3.2.0 to 3.2.2

Korganizer ate my calendar.. (Backup your .ics, actually my fault, anyone 
upgrading should always backup their .kde directory, JUST IN CASE, however it 
still should not have ate it.)

OpenOffice no longer wants to install 

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org1.1-bin: Depends: libfreetype6 (< 2.1.0) but 2.1.5-1woody2 is 
to be installed

kdeaddons won't install... Not sure why.. (Actually, NOW it does, but only 
after installing kdeaddons-kfile-plugins, not sure why that didn't 
automagically work)

Fonts all changed..  (maybe new defaults,  and didn't keep the old settings.)

Aspell no longer likes it.. I think I backed up a version?

komba2 is now gone..(That I understand, I guess)

Lost 'psi' as it needs libqt3-mt, but that will remove everything.. as we now 
use libqt3c102-mt (Strange the naming for qt3-dev-tools stayed the same)

Something replaces kdepim-libs.. I had to remove that one, it got jammed up as 
well..

Re: Upgrade problem 3.1.4 -> 3.2 on Woody

2004-02-10 Thread Michael Peddemors
Topic seemed right, so I thought I would add my own issue..

When upgrading woody/kde 3.1.4 to 3.2, everything went well..
(Course apt-get upgrade wasn't going to work flawlessly, because of added 
package dependencies)

Only problem I had, was when upgrading organizer, that old kalarm/korganizer 
dependency issue seemed to come back.. I had to do a apt-get remove 
korganizer and apt-get remove kalarm to get korganizer to install.

Oh, and when I started korganizer, it didn't startup with my previously active 
calendar file. Other than that, no problems so far..

Well, except for a Konqueror bug I just reported visiting:

[OT] Re: Spam because of this list

2003-10-06 Thread Michael Peddemors
Again, as mentioned by many people, if you don't want Spam, use and ISP 
service that provides Spam blocking.. If you can't use an ISP with that 
service, buy a POP address from any of the ISP's that sell just POP mailboxes 
with full Anti-Spam features..  (Usually about $5/month) This is an issue of 
Spamming, and not of this list, or especially the topic of this list.

I know that new legislation is being proposed in most countries, to ensure 
that ISP's help to control Spam, both incoming and outgoing.   

And asking the list to control Spam, well.. It's like the old argument.. 

Police shouldn't tell people to put dead bolts on doors; really what we should 
be working towards people should be able to leave their doors open.. It's 
the thieves that are at fault, not the home owners, and that's where our 
emphasis should be...

Re: kdelibs4-dev and XFree86 4.3.0

I think if you have a need for bleeding edge, consider helping by moving to 
testing/sarge.. The more people we get onto testing the faster we can see 
these packages in 'stable' :)  With X 4.3 and KDE 3.1.4 most of your system 
is beyond the purposes of woody already..
3.1.4 for woody will probably always only have dependencies on products from 
woody.  Otherwise you or the packager of the backport will have to provide 
any packages that have dependencies on them, including KDE 3.1.4

KDE Konqueror, and Adobe plugin.

2003-06-29 Thread Michael Peddemors
I registered a bug with KDE, about this, (Crash using Adobe Plugin with mime 
type application/vnd.fdf in konqueror) and they mentioned something about a 
bug where konqueror crashes with unknown mime types.  I get the crash whether 
I add the mime type manually to associations, and it doens't matter if I use 
the plugin, or if I use the application directly.

They say something about this bug being fixed, but uncertain whether the fix 
was backported.  Any one know if this bug is still present in KDE 3.1.2 
Debian/Woody? The backtrace does show the crash happens just after the mime 
type handler gets called.

kpersonalizer Debian Woody, KDE 3.12

kpersonalizer works perfectly, when run on a new user, but once the user has 
run it once, and you try to run it again, it uses 100% of memory, before

Anyone else running into this?  Repeatable on every Woody installation we

Okay, maybe not 'official' to debian, but to the world at large, when you see 
an apt source like...

deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.2/Debian stable main

That makes it look pretty well supported and 'stable' 

And face it, we all want the KDE 3.1.x series, thought I would post it here to 
see if we can get those dependencies worked out, and placed in the same 
source locations as the ../stable/3.1.2/Debian, while waiting for sarge.  
Still want a 'stable' system, but with a decent UI

I bet if you took a survery here, not many are using 2.2 anymore..  And too 
many people are having to go to unstable, just to get the bugfixes in the 
user interface dealt with.

When nolden debs where out there, I know that he used the version..
Package: libcupsys2
Versions:
1.1.18-1woody2(/var/lib/dpkg/status)

but libcupsys2-dev relies on

libcupsys2-dev: Depends: libcupsys2 (= 1.1.14-4.4) but 1.1.18-1woody2 is to be 
installed..

Is it safe now that KDE 3.1.x is in woody to go back to 1.1.14-4.4 or do we 
need to get an updated libcupsys2-dev in woody?

Double check your file-max settings in /proc.. 
Well, check the logs first and see if you maybe are hitting this.
I think Debian should increase file-max in sysctl.conf by default as I see a 
lot of cases of this occurring, and almost should be a FAQ item

Well, as I mentioned we need a way for people to only see THEIR mounted 
shares, in a Thin Client environment, and that would solve part of it, but if 
you have a system with fifty users, and 10 shares apiece, that never get 
reaped, pain in the butt dealing with them after hours..  Be nice to know 
that noone is using the shares when doing upgrades etc. on a server running 
24/7.

Still, default in user land should NOT be to leave these around, and hard

Yep, but the tool I am dealig with is Komba :)  Each mount tool shoudl deal 
with this issue.  Maybe a userland .kde mtab that takes precedence over

Hehehe  I see you don't work in the real world.. I hear this often from Linux

Yes, but both have to be handled.  Can you think of a basic premise where if a

there is a case for that, it is an exeption to the rule, and not the norm.

I heard that, but if the program is used to mount the shares, it should be

It needs to be addressed, in any case, and if at least any mounts created by 
Komba were reaped when unused, then we would be a long way.  Any shares 
mounted manually, (ie not via Komba) it doesn't have to deal with..  Then 
noone has to deal with the whole debian system logic as a whole, and deal 
with it strictly in the package that handles 'mounting and unmounting'.

Maybe a seperate 'mtab style' record keeping, and a cron job to clean them 
would be the simplest, or a Komba Reaper Daemon, and this could have 'as an 
option' the ability to clean up system mounts, but this should not be the 
default.

But that doesn't handle disco's  So a reaper would have to be in place 
anyways, so might as well let the reaper do all the work.  As well, it may 
need to be at the user logoff, and not KDE logoff, however that might be more 
satisfying for those liking 'Microsoft Style'

SHOULD??? We aren't dealing with educated users, and expecting 100 users to 
remember to do this every day on an xterminal system is impractical.

> with them. If they do not unmount them, perhaps they had a good reason

No, it shoudl be that if they have a NEED to keep shares opened after all 
their tasks are completed, they should perform some special operation to do 
so, but this SHOULD NOT be the default behavior in a robust system.

Okay, how best to handle this.  If a server is running 24/7 for years, and 
users have long since been deleted, why should their shares still be mounted?

Well, we should be able to detect if 
1) the user has active processes
2) the user is logged in (Actually that will be covered by 1)

If not, the mount can be reaped.

Or, at least we can make it a configuration option, so that the person who is 
installing the package can choose the behavior.

If the user who mounted the share is not logged on anymore.

> Why should mount be unmouted on disconnect ?

Because the user is no longer logged in.  The mounts mounted under their home 
directories are of no use to the system or any other user, until they log 
back in.

> That is clearly not the purpuse of komba, sorry !

Uh, but it seems the exact use of Komba, to mount shares under their home 
directories when they need them, and to unmount them when they disconnect.
There is an option to remount shares on logon.

When you mount via Komba, with 50 users mounting 60 shares, we have a lot of 
unused mounts.  In windows, when you disconnect, the smb connections are 
dropped when you disconnect.  So when a user disconects, it should close the 
mount, when they login again, the shares will get remounted.

Same here, but I thought we could do some debian specific stuff, like adding a

We are experiencing some problems with this as well, but we have not been able 
to find a ryhme or reason to it as yet.  Using KDM with Debian Stable/KDE 
3.1.1 and running xterminals loose the mouse occasionally, and we have to 
reboot the thin clients to get the mouse back active again..

The only error I haven't yet tracked down that is reported, and not sure if it 
is related, is 
kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: Sym::initQt( 100b ): failed to convert key.
(Would be nice for a time stamp on that one)

I lie, KGhostView isn't found on my stable installation, would think that a 
dependency should have take care of that BTW, and it says it can't find any 
other external PostScript viewer, which is more strange as 'gv' is always 
there So I didnt' get a preview  Ah well...

So I installed `apt-get install kghostview` and..

-- Previews completely fine... -- 

Click the "Print" button from the viewer, and nothing again via CUPS...
'No Pages Found'

Kurt might be slightly wrong :)

Still not sure why one .ps file generated by Konqueror causes this problem, 
while another doesn't.  Going to install Mozilla on stable to see if problem 
is on both browsers.

No, I print a file from a straight HTML page, and compare the .ps from that an 
a PHP page, but can't see where a difference might be, but sending the .ps 
that I passed on to you, won't print to CUPS, with CUPS saying no pages 
found, even though the progress meter shows 2 pages being sent to CUPS

Thanks Fred for the timely response, and simple diagnostic directions, I 
didn't think of.  Printing to a .ps file results in a printout that is 
viewable in 'gv', but trying an lpr -PHPLaserjet on the file results in 
nothing being sent to the printer.  Looking at the completed jobs listing in 
CUPS shows that the jobs have been aborted..

Using the standard HP LaserJet Series CUPS v1.1 driver, and printer status 
shows 'No Pages Found'

Sending the .ps file to you privately for perusal.

Printing Problems

2003-04-02 Thread Michael Peddemors
I looked over the threads, and either I am missing something, or this seems a 
little different, running Stable and latest Nolden debs

From Konqueror, some web pages, including ASP and PHP generated pages when you 
hit print, brings up the dialog, and correctly shows printing pages to the 
CUPS defined printers, but absolutely no output.  Works on static pages..

Any ideas?

Disagree... User's don't 'build' apps.. devleopers do, even if they might be 
beginning developers...  If it doens't compile using just -dev then it is a 
app that needs to be fixed, and they can help the debian movement by sorting

2003-02-15 Thread Michael Peddemors
Geez.. I could live with that.. Wonder how you got yours so low. Wondering if 
this is again related to the fonts.. Next install I will have to check it as 
I add each package.. :)

But having said that about MG being used on initial startup, it doesn't do bad 
when adding apps to the load, except that kmail uses a lot if you render html 
emails, and the konqueror issue.  Right now, with konqueror freshly fired up, 
and kmail running, with two shells..  A Typical load for an end user, and i 
get the following..

 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:127172 123024   4148 186556   2708  29472
-/+ buffers/cache:  90844  36328
Swap:   128516   2344 126172

NOTE: I tend to look at the 'used' column, as that would have tagged Swap if 
over pysical size, even though only 90 MG is currently used

But give it a full day of work, and the leaks get me into swap on this machine 
and that's when I grumble :)  But the point someone made about the 
comparision with Win95 remains valid..  Webbrowser, Email Client, (except 
maybe outlook :) running on a freshly booted machine can run on less hardware 
than the current KDE, albeit all the added advantages that the current KDE 
might have, at the end user level, there would definetly be a comparison 
made, and I would hate for the word 'bloated' to ever get associated to Linux 
in the press :)  Of course, now comparing to an XP requirements might be more 
fair.  But getting slightly off-topic..

Debian/KDE is strictly releated to Debian, and I guess this is more a general 
concern, to any Linux/X/KDE installation, but of course it may affect future 
decision makers, so I guess worth bringing up once in a while.


Most of the products we (my company) deal with tend to be server products, 
rather than desktops, so they tend to have enough RAM that they can afford to 
throw away an extra 64 MG for desktops tools, if it makes it easier to use.  
And by the time this comes of a concern, desktop users may be all sitting 
with 4-8GIG of ram to spend, and if the developers can get out twice as many 
features/programs/tools at the expense of a little 'bloat' I for one am not 
going to shout too loud about the 'M evils' involved. Linux is growing up, 
and academic concerns vs marketing and other concerns might occasionally need 
to be sacrificed.  But I can still dream can't I ..

Memory Usage - KDE - Where is discussion on this?

2003-02-15 Thread Michael Peddemors
Looking for a good forum for discussing memory usage..
Aside from the fact that konqueror seems to swallow an incredible mount of 
memory, and not release it, it seems that it is taking more and more memory, 
just to fire up the base functionality.
A fresh boot of debian stable, to KDE 3.1, with just an xterm open results in 
98 MG of memory being used.  Oh, I know, memory is cheap, but that sounds 
like some other not to mentioned credo..
To just have a simple window manager up, I never would expect that kind of 
memory usage.  Curious, are we sacrificing performance for other benifits?

Problem with Wine/Arts and New KDE

2003-01-31 Thread Michael Peddemors
I know this should go to the libwine maintainer, but anyone know a quicky way 
to resolve depency problems of wine using 

libarts (18 4:2.2.2-1) libarts-alsa (2 4:2.2.2-1)

for depencines... installing libarts of course drops KDE ..
Don't want to do that :)

I think there was something on the list about handling this, but my search 
revealed nothing.

Re: Only root can play sound

2003-01-27 Thread Michael Peddemors
It would be even better, if someone talked to the adduser package maintainer, 
and have adduser package installation ask if you want people to be added to 
the 'audio' group by default or something to that effect, but this is the 
wrong list for that discussion :) Otherwise, if using kde for adding users, 
maybe the interface should handle things like default groups.  It really 
depends on what the system is being used for. Same should go for other 
devices like cdrom's, usb devices whatever.

Fresh Debian Stable install with nolden Woody - Small comments

2003-01-25 Thread Michael Peddemors
Just a few notes .. Thought I would try an install as if I was a typical 
debian newbie.. And take notes along the way.

Installed Debian Base.
Did an 'apt-get update','apt-get upgrade'
I find I can't do anything unless I can edit/look at files so I did a quick
'apt-get vim less'
Now, I added the nolden source, and did another 'apt-get update'
 
Okay, now I decide I need mail, so 'apt-get  kmail'
Hmm, okay in theory kmail can work like that, but as a user on a personal pc, 
it won't so did an 'apt-get xserver-svga' and went through the dpkg.

Hmm, still can't get a window environment, the usual way, so did an 'apt-cache 
search startx' and it showed xbase-clients, so that makes sense and I do an 
'apt-get xbase-clients' and noticed a problem with missing fonts so also did 
an 'apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-scalable 
xfonts-scalable-nonfree'

Tried to run startx and it complains that there is no /etc/X11/Xsession.
This looks to be a problem  'It should just work now'  At this point, it might 
frustrate a newbie, but okay, I do a 'man startx'  

I see that 'xinit' can start a session as well.  Hmm.. Try that ..
I get a no Xterm found.. Looking at the man page for xinit it says that that 
is the fallback default.  If it is the fall back default shouldnt' have that 
been installed?  Okay, at least I can fix that easy. 'apt-get install xterm'

Hey, I now have a window, and I can type in kmail.  
h.. It fires up.  But nothing seems to work correctly, and I can 
get/recieve mail, and can't resize the windows etc.

Okay, it slowly sinks in that I need a better window manager
Hmm.. maybe that's why I am missing Xsession. Okay, I see that, so lets get 
the kde window manager.  
'apt-get install kdebase'

Darn, no file called Xsession yet.  
Okay, but reading a little more I see that the file used to start KDE is 
called startkde, and doing a quick 'man startkde' reveals nothing, as the man 
page is not complete.  Looking more carefully at the man pages for xinit and 
startx, I see that I can put a command in .xinitrc in my home directory, and 
it shoudl get called, so I add in 'startkde' to that file, and boom, up it 
comes.

At this point, though.. I still have no /etc/X11/Xsession, and I am sure that 
this is a work around.  As well, for some reason the backspace doesn't work 
in X, (works as delete)

In conclusion, I can see some little things that should be fixed up yet so 
that people do not run into problems. Logs also show problems with a missing 
xftconfig as well.

Primarily, I think that if kdebase is installed, it should ask if you want to 
make it the default window manager, and then deal with everything, so that a 
person knows they can just type in 'startx' and they will have a working KDE

Just a few thoughts, in case it helps everyone, we forget the problems that 
newbies have after a while.

Just ran a clean install of Debian on a machine, and used initially the 
ccheney kdebase/kdelibs, then added in Ralf's sources, and finished 
installing with `apt-get update;apt-get install kmail`
Everything was working great, then decided to `apt-get update;apt-get install

The following extra packages will be installed:
  kdelibs-bin kdelibs-data kdelibs4
