KDM 3.0.3 7 minute startup

2002-09-06 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
I'm trying to help a friend of mine install KDE 3.0.3.  I added the
kde.org apt lines and installed arts, kdebase and kdelibs.  KDM starts
up fine.  However, when he logs in it literally takes about 5 min for
him to see a desktop.  The little splash screen pops up and it gets to
"starting system services" and goes no further.  Then the splash screen
disappears after a couple minutes.  And it sits there looking at the
background image.  And then after a bit more time the desktop comes up.

I can only guess that it's waiting on some device to time out or
something.  I see nothing strange in the .xsession_errors file.  Anyone
have any ideas?

Re: KDE based programs won't run as user

This is only a guess... but sounds like a permissions issue.  I would
try logging out of KDE, logging in on the console, deleting the files
listed below from your home directory and then trying KDE again.  Good luck.

kdm sourcing .bash_profile?

2002-07-27 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
I know I've seen this discussed before but I couldn't find it in the
archives.  I have these lines in my .bash_profile:

if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
fi

When I login on the console it behaves as expected.  However, when I
login using kdm I don't get ~/bin in my path.  What was the prevailing
opinion on how to solve this?

Re: Where did kde3.geniussystems.net go?

2002-06-10 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
Do you use TW Road Runner?  Their name servers are awful.  I seem to
have lost geniussystems as well.  Use a web service or something to do a
dns lookup and replace the hostname in your sources file with the IP.
That should work 'til Road Runner recovers.

Re: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.2) (library -mt) not found

That should do it.  The libraries allow you to run files compiled
against that library.  However, to actually compile something, you need
header files and possibly other stuff included in the *dev deb.  Good
luck.

term messed up in konsole?

2002-01-24 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
Not sure if this is KDE specific but I have noticed it on both my laptop
and desktop running sid.  It seems that sometimes when I'm on the last
line of my konsole window and I type to the end of the line, instead of
wrapping to the next line, it seems to start at the beginning of the
same line overwriting characters.  This is just an aesthetic issue.  It
is still getting all the characters I'm typing.  But it's a little
confusing.  Anyone know what I'm talking about?

mail notifier success? (korn/kbiff)

2002-01-07 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
Anyone have any luck setting up a mail notifier?  I've been playing w/
korn for a few minutes but it just quietly refuses to work.  No error
messages.  No debugging info.  No nothing.  It just does nothing.
Anything I should know about it?

I tried looking for kbiff as an alternative but it doesn't seem to be
packaged in debian.  Is that correct?  Thanks for any insight.

kpackage dependency conflicts w/ another kpackage dependency (rpm)

2002-01-03 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
I only write because this is mildly amusing.  I have kpackage installed
on my box.  kpackage depends on rpm and librpm0.  I do a sid update just
now.  rpm has been upgraded.  It now depends on librpm4.  And librpm4
conflicts w/ librpm0.  So I decide to uninstall rpm.  I don't really
need it.  Ahh, can't do that.  Because kpackage insists it depends on
rpm.  So, I can't have rpm and kpackage installed at the same time
because of dependencies, but kpackage depends on rpm.  ;-)

I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the maintainers for
what they do.  Things occasionally go wrong.  But there are a lot of
people that work to try to keep all of these pieces working together.
It really isn't easy.  Keep up the good work.

Re: hanging in konqueror

2001-11-18 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
I've noticed this problem as well.  However, I don't use Konq for file
browsing as much so I notice it mostly when I open it to browse web
pages.  Right after opening the window, everything will be fine for a
second.  Then I'll attempt to type an url in or something and
responsiveness will just fall off.  Even clicking the close window
button in the top right takes almost a minute to take effect.

I first noticed it maybe a couple weeks ago, like Justin said.  It's
intermittent.  I usually close it and open another konq window and it
works fine.  *shrug*

Anyone know how I can change this limit?  I have lots of directories of

kamera?

2001-08-19 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
I'm looking for something on Kamera, the KDE gphoto2 frontend.  I'm not
sure where to find the specific packages or even if it is already

TheKompany page says it is a part of KDE.
http://www.thekompany.com/projects/gphoto/download.php3  KDE help finds
nothing.  I can't even find anything with `locate kamera`.  TheKompany
page also says that once KDE2 is installed I should be able to access
the kamera control panel under "Peripherals" in the KDE Control Panel.

Does anyone have any hints on where I might look too see about getting
this up and running?  Thanks.
