desktop extremely unresponsive (4.6.5 etc.), strange workaround
Dear all, I installed KDE 4.6.5 from debian-desktop.org on squeeze (and actually have replaced it now with a KDE 4.7.3 re-compiled from Ubuntu). I know, all this certainly isn't "a good idea", but maybe some of you have a hint as to my problem: The Plasma deskop is (with 4.6.5 and 4.7.3) extremely slow -- ie I click on the K menu and it freezes for 1min before the K menu appears. This is with and without graphics effects switched on (geforce 8200 w/ nvidia driver). I have also tried (w/o change) to switch off the start of all "services at system startup" in the system settings. And of course with a empty .kde in my home, and as normal user or as root. Nothing helped. However, the problem completely disappears when I do not use ksmserver in /usr/bin/startkde, ie I replace #kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM by: kwrapper4 kwin & kwrapper4 plasma-desktop & kwrapper4 krunner & test -n "$ksplash_pid" && kill "$ksplash_pid" 2>/dev/null I have put the .xsession-errors for the first (original startkde, "bad") and the 2nd (modified startkde, no ksmserver, "ok") case in: http://home.arcor.de/stephan.hachinger/xsession-errors-bad http://home.arcor.de/stephan.hachinger/xsession-errors-ok If anyone has an idea, I'll be very thankful and he's invited for a coffee in case of success (ie some coffee powder bought online & sent to him or so ;) ).

For all apps I start then (e.g. if (...) I managed to get the kde keyboard layout switcher to work. Before, I had problems with it - it was disabling the arrow keys etc. Here, selecting "Evdev-managed keyboard" as keyboard type instead of the generic 105 key did the trick. Now this gives me a German layout in all apps I start. A problem remains with lancelot / kickoff, which is apparently started before the layout switcher is initialized. Here I chose, as a dirty workaround, to kill lancelot via autostart. This means it is restarted the first time I click on the K menu. Meanwhile, I've recompiled hal, xorg and evdev from debian sid; I have however not yet tested if this makes the problem disappear as a whole. Anyway, I think I won't file a KDE bugreport about this story because I still think that the problem here is related to my weird system setup.

Wrong keyboard after KDE4.2 startup, ok after a while
Hi all, I'm having a bizarre problem here. My system is lenny, with qt 4.4.3, X.Org 1.4.2 and recompiled KDE 4.2.2 from unstable. The kernel is a self-compiled 2.6.28. keyboard layouts are deactivated in kcontrol; activating them didn't change anything to the better. After I start KDE, the keyboard layout for ~the first 2 apps I start is US. Typically I have this in the program starter (lancelot or kickoff), and in the first iceweasel I start afterwards. For all apps I start then (e.g. if I kill lancelot and then press the K menu) it's perfectly ok. If I only start an xterm instead of kde, and then iceweasel, there seems to be no problem at all (i.e. I have German layout). This first appeared after I switched from etch (yes, there I also managed to recompile kde 4.2.0 after recompiling some other packages ;)) to lenny. Back then, I still had the etch 4.2.0 packages installed, and I thought the problem was due to the 4.2.0 compiled on etch, another compiler or whatever. Unfortunately, it wasn't. My X.Org log is appended below. I used the kbd driver for input before, but the switch to evdev didn't change the situation. I really have no idea what the reason for this can be... maybe there's some old config files hanging around, but I have no idea where that should be. This system has not been freshly installed since ... potato?

[KDE 4.2 snapshots] Compiling kde4libs - unresolved symbols
Hi all, I'm compiling KDE 4.1.85 on Debian *Etch* (using dpkg-buildpackage). I know that's crazy, but with 4.1 I still managed, as I compiled/upgraded also the necessary libraries. Now with 4.1.85 dh_makeshlibs -plibplasma3 ends up with an error (log attached, it shows the build process after make install). As I've never had anything similar (I guess old dpkg ver's did not check symbols that extensively?!?), I'll be glad if someone can give me a hint (or reference) how to resolve this. Esp. if so. could give a hint which lib I'm missing etc, I'd be really happy. Have nice holidays, Stephan Hachinger kdelibs-4.1.85-sh.log.gz Description: Binary data

Menue size problem
Dear all, I have a problem with KDE (using 3.2.2, Debian testing) which may be a general problem of KDE. If I e.g. click on a file in Konqueror and select in the context menue "Copy to" and now make my way through the tree e.g. "/"->"/usr"->"share" I end up in a folder with more entries than can be displayed on my screen at once. I haven't found a way (neither by inuition nor by google or my LUG-Mailinglist) how to access those entries that are NOT listed anymore. IS there any way of making the menue scroll that I just haven't found or is this a problem no one has come accross? This problem also comes up with very large menues in the Start-menue and a low resolution. Of course you can minimize the font size etc. but this is no general solution to this problem.

Re: woody 3.0_R1, kde3.1 and Kile
Hi! Try to apt-get install zlib1g-dev. Also, it's generally a good idea to build a deb package and dpkg -i instead of "make install". Kile 1.32 sources are available at http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kile/kile_1.3.2.orig.tar.gz http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kile/kile_1.3.2-5.diff.gz (binaries are only available for unstable). The steps required to build a package are: - download *both* files into the same directory - tar xzf kile_1.3.2.orig.tar.gz - uncompress kile_1.3.2-5.diff.gz - cd kile-1.3.2 - patch -p1 < ../kile_1.3.2-5.diff - make ./debian/rules executable (e.g. chmod 777 debian/rules) - dpkg-buildpackage (if it isn't there, apt-get install dpkg-dev) Then, the package should build automatically; you can find the .deb in the same directory you copied kile_1.3.2.orig.tar.gz to afterwards.

I've already experienced similar crashes with xfstt and libqt 3.1.2 installed at the same time (see http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2003/debian-kde-200303/msg00812.html); not only on my main system but also on 3 other debian systems (all debian 3.0 woody). I'm not using kdm, so kicker was usually one of the first applications crashing; the issue was reproduceable. Now I'm not using xfstt anymore and the issue seems to be solved. What's strange about this is only that the problems don't appear with libqt 3.1.1. But now at least I know that xfstt seems to be the culprit.

Missing software for woody
Moin, I cannot find deb-packages of these software projects: http://xmms-kde.sourceforge.net/ http://www.xs4all.nl/~jjvrieze/kmplayer.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/kfani8k/ I compiled them from source and they work all right, but I don't know how to make a deb-package. Ciao, Stephan

But at my machine, these errors are reproduceable and appear without any clicks :( ; the problem doesn't appear with libqt 3.1.1. For now, I've recompiled kdelibs and kdebase to use libqt 3.1.1; I'm a bit short on time right now but when I have time I'll try to investigate it further. Cheers, Stephan
Re: Re: encoding mp3 with konqueror
> the audio-cd ioslave is in kdemultimedia. you compiled the wrong package :-) Thanks a lot, now it works. But now I have a new "problem": every time I do an apt-get update, apt-get tries to install the original package from the net. Is it possible to give my self-compiled package a slightly newer version number, so that it only gets updated when a new KDE version is available? Ciao, Stephan
encoding mp3 with konqueror
Hi, I am currently trying to enable mp3 encoding support in konqueror 3.1.1 with debian woody. I read http://www.pantek.com/library/general/lists/lists.debian.org/debian-kde/msg00042.html and installed liblame-dev, liblame0, lame-extras and lame from marillat.free.fr. Then I downloaded the kdebase sources from kde.us.themoes.org and made a dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us because the fakeroot paramter won't work. Next, I installed the kio package via dpkg -i kdebase-kio-plugins_3.1.1-0woody1_i386.deb. This does not work. Konqueror shows an ogg directory but not a mp3 directory. Has anyone had any success with this? My address is mail_at_stephanwehrheim.de. Ciao, Stephan
Re: Problems with KDE Packages after 3.1.0 => 3.1.1
Hi! This error is - as far as I know - often caused by the fact, that, when there is a new kde version, sometimes some libs get packaged into another package than before. When this problem appeared, I've always done the following: cd /var/cache/apt/archives dpkg -i --force-all for every package file which cannot be installed. The package file names are sometimes quite complicated; you can either complete the file names by pressing or do something like: dpkg -i --force-all kdelibs*3.1.1*deb (in your case) (You should also do an dpkg -i kdelibs*3.1.1*deb directly afterwards to ensure that everything is installed correctly. dpkg shouldn't print out any errors now.) Then re-run apt-get and look if the errors are gone. If other packages cause similar errors, do the same for these packages. At the end, everything should be fine without re-installation. Dselect should not cause the system to install the packages in a better way, because the errors come from dpkg, and both apt and dselect only call dpkg for installing packages, as far as I'm informed.

libqt3 3.1.2 breaking kicker
Hello! I've just experienced something quite weird trying to upgrade my Debian woody system to kde 3.1.1. After libqt3 3.1.2 had been installed, kicker 3.1.1 always crashed about 1/2 second after the mouse cursor was placed over it (no clicks!). I then installed the old kde 3.1.0 kicker, but this didn't change the behaviour; only a downgrade to libqt3 3.1.1 finally fixed the problem. I tried to compile libqt3 3.1.2 myself, but installing the self-compiled binaries also made kicker (version 3.1.0) crash... Does anyone know what could cause this behaviour? KDE 3.1.1 seems to run completely without problems on the woody system of a friend of mine. Cheers, Stephan Hachinger

Strange Klipper actions problem (KDE3.05a)
Hi! I'm using the packages from download.kde.org, with kdelibs recompiled by myself (with ipv6 = auto). After upgrading to 3.0.5a, I think, Klipper began to behave very strangely when executing "action" commands (e.g. if I mark an URL with my mouse): Instead of interpreting "konqueror %s" as "konqueror " it calls "konqueror %s". The same happens with mozilla etc. Is there anyone here who has similar problems or knows a solution? Cheers, Stephan

Konq 3.0.5 extraordinary slowness on certain sites
Hello! Since I've installed KDE 3.0.0, konqueror seems to suffer from a very strange speed problem only when accessing certain internet sites: On www.theregister.co.uk and some other sites, a part of the page appears, then the progress bar rises up to 99% and stays there for about twenty seconds, before the whole page is displayed. Reading News on www.pcwelt.de is also that slow. I've got absolutely no clue what this is caused by; it wasn't that bad with KDE 2.2.x. The speed of my processor (Athlon 1800+) as well as my amount of ram (256MB) should suffice, I think. Anyone out there who's got similar problems? Cheers, Stephan

Flash plugin (and maybe other plugins too) support is broken in kde3. Try this
patch (apply in kdelibs/khtml/), it should fix it. The patch was posted on
kde-devel some time ago.

Great work. Yeah, that sucks. What's wrong with using the hack until the correct solution is available? Even the KDE folks recommend this. Ciao...
Re: kdecore FATAL problem?
Hi Carlos, i had the same warnings in ~/.xsession-errors > kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.3: > undefined symbol: init_spellchecking > kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.3: > undefined symbol: init_audiocd These warnings have nothing to do with your Fatal IO error. They come from kdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/kcminit.cpp (line 90) which is started in /usr/bin/kde2 from kdeinit Just remove the X-KDE-Init=... lines from /usr/share/applnk/Settings/Personalization/spellchecking.desktop and /usr/share/applnk/Settings/Sound/audiocd.desktop and the warnings are gone.

Neither do I, but the pre/postinstallscripts of many packages use perl.

Done that, as I said if I set the locale to [EMAIL PROTECTED], perl does not complain. If I set it to de_DE.ISO-8859-15, the Euro symbol works but perl complains. Ciao...

Now try the following: Open a terminal and type export LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 Now, start kwrite (or any other KDE application) from the commandline, et voil?à, the Euro symbol appears. Unfortunately, other programs such as perl then complain that the locale is not supported on the system even though I removed the comment symbol before the corresponding line in /etc/locale.gen. If I set LANG to [EMAIL PROTECTED], perl stops to complain but the Euro symbol does not work anymore under KDE. :-( Any help appreciated! Ciao...
Re: artsd is segfaulting with alsa drivers

All sound > applications outside of kde are working fine. [artsd crashes] Same here. Wild guess: artsd is compiled against alsa-0.5. I never managed to compile artsd against alsa-0.9 myself but against alsa-0.5 worked fine so I think the KDE team has not ported artsd to alsa-0.9 yet. Workaround: Compile alsa with oss-emulation support and set the sound I/O method under Sound->Sound Server->Sound I/O in the control center to "Open Sound System". Ciao...

Konqueror crash

When hitting PageUp/PageDown/Home/End, all I get in konsole is a system beep and this symbol: ~. I've tried all the available keyboard layout options in konsole, but the problem persists. Deleting my ~/.kde doesn't help either. Since I am obviously the only one experiencing this it could well be a bug associated with my local configuration. I'm german and using all the appropriate configuration settings for this country including german keyboard layout. For me, konsole in 2.2beta1 is definitely broken, it worked flawlessly before and I didn't change anything else. Ciao...
KDE 2.2beta1 impressions
Hi, first of all, great work with the 2.2beta1 packages, Ivan! Keep up the excellent work! Now, for the bugs I have found... :-) arts alsa support seems to be linked against alsa 0.5. If I try to start artsd with alsa support it just segfaults. Since this is unstable, I think artsd should be linked against alsa-0.9. However, when I tried compiling KDE on my own this failed, so some source modifications are needed... Second, pageup/pagedown/home/end do not work anymore in konsole. Seems like the old problem we had some time ago... That's all! Everything else works just as expected! Ciao...

Hm, I was too slow. Just tried to get kdelibs3 and kdebase from http://incoming.debian.org, but they are not there anymore! They also are not in ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kdelibs, so where are they now? Ciao...

Starting non-KDE applications on all desktops
Hi everybody, I want to have gkrellm on all desktops on startup by default, but KDE doesn't seem to remember it altough I set it in the context menu. I remember there is an option to kdeinit to set this but I couldn't find any documentation on it. Can anybody help me on this one? Ciao...
Fonts
Hi, did something change regarding fonts with the last update in unstable? The standard arial font now appears almost as if it was bold, which is quite annoying... and the same amount of text now takes up much more space on the screen, too. The thickness of the letters is OK if I reduce the font size by one (down to ten), but then it is simply too small. Ciao...

KDE Font sizes
Hi everybody, I normally start KDE via gdm. The font sizes in konqueror for web browsing are too small, and if I set the size to huge normal text is OK but the headlines on Slashdot/Linuxtoday etc. are way too big.
