We should be able to get funding from the project for such a task. Hello Josselin, Sounds like a good idea. I would like to take part in such a meeting - depending on my available time (I am working in shifts). Michael, Julian and me already already started preparing updates to the software-center/aptdaemon stack. The hardcoded Canonical parts in software-center have been made optionally. As posted by Michael Canonical offers to host ratings and reviews for Debian packages. The server side is under AGPL3 but requires a launchpad account to make a comment or rating [1]. Would need some investigation if this can be hosted on a Debian server with a more general OAuth authentication. At the AppStream sprint in spring OCS open collaboration services [1] was chosen as the target API for the non-Canonical software-center ratings and review system. But the server side doesn't look very good currently: midgard2 doesn't support the PHP middleware yet. Working opensocial implementation can be found at formeego [3] or at opendesktop [4]. Furthermore aptdaemon now also provides the PackageKit system D-Bus interface by reusing the old PackageKit apt backend and mapping aptdaemon transactions. You can already use gpk-application and gpk-update-viewer with aptdaemon. [5] So you will very likely see a wider adoption of the PackageKit api in Ubuntu. Gnome-codec-installer was replaced by session-installer in Ubuntu now since session-installer was ported to GTK3 and provides some unique features like handling of only partially provided codecs and promoting the codecs which are supported best.

Additional system specs: Dell Precision 420 Dual P3 1Ghz 1G Ram ATI Radeon 7500 (2x 1600x1200) So, I upgrade to kde3.0.3 using the kd3.org link and restart kdm. When I login, things seem to start up but the kicker quickly stops responding (locks up). If I remove my .kde dir the preferences window that starts the first time exhibits the same behavior. Some searching on google found a message about disabling xfs to work around it. Sure enough, commenting out the option in the X config file allows me to use kde but now my fonts are not what they were (Emacs uses a wider font, Mozilla doens't feel right). Thoughts? You can add your font path to the Xserver configuration file, there is no special need for the xfs. I think, that you miss the MS Web TrueType Fonts (msttcorefonts). So add the following to the Files section: FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType Sebastian

I just installed them yesterday so I haven't looked too much into the problem to submit a patch or anything. I didn't think this was for debian-devel so you seem to be a good choice to send it to. KDE3 has problems initializing in Xinerama mode. With my kde2 files (already working on xinerama) kde3 starts fine. If I erase .kde and .kderc KDE3 tries to initialize/etc but it doesn't complete. After restarting a few times it almost finishes starting but doesn't initialize completely the panel. If I disable xinerama in X the initialization works fine, but it doesn't let me enable kde-xinerama support. I don't know if this is KDE3 issues or packaging issues, haven't tried other kde3s with xinerama. remove xfs from your font path.

Desktop wraps around feature
Hello, is it possible do deactivate the desktop wraps around feature in KDE 3.0, since there is no option for this in the controll center? If so, could anybody using 3.1 tell me the name of this option in kwinrc, please? I think that this could be possible because I read the following line in the 3.1-feature plan: Added a GUI for the Desktops navigation wraps around feature that was added in 3.0.

Re: fonts in KDE 2.2.1
Hello, perhaps you have chosen Anti-aliasing fonts in the font configuration of the control centre. But only a few fonts (Type1 and True Type Fonts) are supported. So you could either deactivate this feature or install other fonts. Try the msttcorefonts-package. Then you can chose the MS Arial or Verdana as ss font. Sebastian

Re: QNiX Theme
Am Freitag, 16. November 2001 08:11 schrieb Kamil Kisiel: Has anyone had success installing the QNiX Window Decoration / Widget Style to install? I can get it to compile without a hitch, however after installing it, it is not found in the KDE Control Center. I am assuming this is probably because the locations specified in the configure script for it are not the same ones where KDE on Debian is looking. Can someone please enlighten me as to the proper locations to install the binaries for this theme. I would eventually like to provide a Debian package of this, so help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. ~Kamil There is allready a package in unstable - try this one.
