Re: ClamAV and KMail

Easiest way: Use KMail 1.7 from KDE 3.3.0 - It has an anti-virus and an anti-spam assistant in the "extras" menu ;) The only bad thing is, KMail's user interface blocks during spam and virus checking, which can make the gui unresponsible for minutes when checking your mail on mornings... If you can't use KMail 1.7: http://www.everysoft.com/clamfilter.html clamfilter.pl is a script for piping like you do with Spamassassin. It writes into the header. If you set up Spamassassin by hand, you can surely do the same with clamfilter.pl. By the way, the web page explains how to use procmail with Spamassassin and clamav, so you can do it with fetchmail. That way, at least the user interface always responds. The blocking is extremely unnerving when composing mails ;) Greetings, Thomas Ritter
Scroll wheel page scrolling modifier key
Hi all, I don't find the damn setting for the scroll wheel page scrolling modifier. In KDE's listboxes, it's ctrl, as I like, but in konqueror, since KDE 3.2, I think, it's shift now. It was ctrl and I can't find where this is being configured. The most disturbing thing is the different behaviour in konqueror html views and the rest of KDE. By the way, inside the konqueror dirtree it's ctrl... Does anyone know where this is (I might be blind, but I looked several times)? Or is this hardcoded shit? Greetings, Thomas Ritter
mouse wheel
Hi, I used to have ctrl as modifier, so that when I press ctrl and use the mouse wheel, I scroll pagewise up or down. This still works everywhere in KDE, except in Konqueror windows/parts. There, ctrl+mw resizes the font and shift+mw scrolls pagewise. That's very stupid. I looked everywhere, but I cannot find the setting anymore in KDE 3.2.2/sid. Am I just blind or has some programmer gone dull? If it's gone, I'll post a bug report, but I want to make sure it's not my fault... Greetings, Thomas Ritter

Am Dienstag, 20. April 2004 21:19 schrieb Bob Tilley (AT&T): > Does a project to optimize KDE exist or must I go the Gentoo route and > build my own packages? lol, the old discussion. KDE gets faster and faster with every release since 1.0. KDE isn't just a panel and some utils, it's a desktop environment with consistent look and behaviour and it's fun to use and to code kde apps. This comes at a price. If you prefer speed over functionality, you should switch to something smaller like XFCE, which you mentioned. Nonetheless, compiling KDE with optimization for your processor should bring some speed. Try compiling KDE 3.2.2 with konstruct, which is a script to download and compile a complete KDE. You can even run this KDE next to the original debs. Or download the deb sources and make optimized packages. Gentoo is a nice idea, but if you ever do an emerge world and see xfree86, kde and openoffice in the update list, you might consider booting from a knoppix cd and reinstalling debian - that could be finished much faster on your 600MHZ debian box ;) I used to compile my own KDE packages with my P200. "Take a good book and start reading" I was warned. Actually, one book wasn't enough, maybe I should have used the time to read "The World as Will and Idea", that would have taken enough time, I think. Greetings, Thomas Ritter
KDE 3.2.1: more problems
Hi, I dist-upgraded my sid box to KDE-3.2.1 and ran into some more problems than I saw on the list... 1. KDM login. When I login via KDM as my usual user on my single-user system, X immediately crashes, regardless which windowmanager I choose. I can login (even to KDE) via GDM without any problems (even autologin) with this user. A test user I created can login without any problems. The usual user can do startx. I moved away my .kde directory, no effect. I deleted the account and created a new one with the same name and the same home dir, no effect. Does anyone have an idea? 2. krfb stopped working. It closes the connection immediately, from localhost and from remote. [krfbrc] allowDesktopControl=true allowUninvited=true confirmUninvitedConnection=false disableBackground=false disableXShm=false enableSLP=false preferredPort=-1 uninvitedPasswordCrypted=[removed] # xtightvncviewer localhost:0 xtightvncviewer: VNC server closed connection # netstat -l -a -p tcp 0 0 *:5900 *:* LISTEN 1365/kdeinit: kded # dcop kded kinetd isEnabled krfb true # dcop kded kinetd port krfb 5900 An idea, anyone? 3. Spell checking Is there an option in KDE to turn spell checking off? I write half of my texts in german, the other half in english. Even if I didn't hate spell checking while typing by itself, I'd start doing so now... Am I blind or should I file an urgent wishlist item on bugs.kde.org? But... after some copy/paste spell checking dies anyway. I searched the other two's bug archives, but wasn't able to list the spell checker plugin's bugs in bugs.kde.org.

Re: ICQ programs for KDE
> > I've tried them all too, and for only ICQ usage you're really best of > > licq with qt/kde plugin. This changed from time to time in the past and most likely will in the future. AOL bought ICQ and has the tendency to do unannounced changes to the communication protocol. All free ICQ clients have a past of spurious lost messages, not working direct connections and availability data shown wrong. But most of the time, it's okay. The Jabber ICQ support depends on the jabber server, as Jabber clients don't use ICQ (Kopete's native support for ICQ is full of errors, but over Jabber, it's okay.) The problem is, Jabber Servers tend to be unstable and badly maintained, bringing disconnects and other things. Every Jabber client has a "Server disconnected without reason. This would mean the server is buggy" message. This is everything but a good omen... Though (to get back to KDE), I think the most promising is Kopete, as it is under heavy and very active development and gets a lot of attention, so it will most likely come out as the best-maintained KDE client one day. LICQ was very good, but after the main developer gave up, the team showed a lot off effort, but some bugs never went away or it took a loong time. If you just use ICQ, you'd probably make several Jabber accounts on different servers and when one server has "an unstable day", switch to another. The Jabber ICQ transport uses the online contact list. But it is a lot of work to clean up your contact list, as one ICQ contact starts as two contacts if you have two jabber servers with ICQ support. But you can put them together in one metacontact. I actually have up to five icons next to my contacts, for different connection ways. -- Thomas Ritter "Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Hi, that's an old problem and it's just partially KDE-specific. Some things have to be right to make this problem go away: - KDE/QT Antialiasing (the setting you described) - /etc/fonts/local.conf shouldn't interfere, look at it - font databases built with fc-cache -f Font support is always on the move (think of LCD displays which need other antialiasing settings than usual monitors) and this will always bring hazards.

Actually, the easiest way to print to Windows is by using CUPS as printing system (which is the preferred KDE printing system), and the easiest way to set up that is kcontrol. So this is not really off topic. Go to devices/printer and simply add your printer, the KDE printing system is quite slick, so you can even set up remote printers as user as you should be used to from Windows. To make nifty things with the printer, like setting up a booklet printer, you could re-share the printer using CUPS drivers from Windows. Printing under Linux was complicated until KDE solved that ;) But be careful about the printer drivers, there are multiple choices for many printer, with heavily varying quality (For example, one of the Laserjet drivers always choked when I used booklet/n-up printing, printing at what looks like 30 dpi or so... at least my Commodore MPS 802 had a better quality.).

It seems to check all files and directories before filtering out the hidden ones :( Try starting konqueror within another home directory to see if that's it.

An example is KMail, where redrawing the mail window (change to the desktop with kmail on it) takes some seconds while the disk is heavily working. So KDE Apps seem to be more vulnerable to disk fragmentation.

Is there any reason not to write a script "update-konqueror-actions", making .desktop-files for all those mime types? It just would have to store whichh files are autogenerated to be able to remove them when the package is removed. Or does apt have a directory for scripts executed after every install/update/remove action? This would be even better, then the .desktop-files would be always up-to-date. There are even things like "needsterminal" in /etc/mailcap... If anyone except me finds this useful, I will write it, that shouldn't be so much work in python or perl ;) kappfinder does this the other way round, it maintains a small set of applications with hand-written .desktop files.

If you want this feature, use the Bug Tracking System of KDE to issue a feature request. KDE Developers tend to adopt such thoughts ;) Thomas
Re: Problems with upgrading a fresh woody installtion to kde3

When it comes to importing config files from another major KDE version, _some_ things work. I had to completely reconfigure nearly everything from KDE1->KDE2 and from KDE2->KDE3. do a tar cvfz ~/kdesettings.tgz ~/.kde* to make all changes undoable and "rm -rf ~/.kde*" completely. Re-login and see if it works. You have a complete backup of everything you need to reconfigure your KDE. If it really works, you may want to restore the .kde-directories and delete things file for file, first the kicker settings, then maybe kwm settings... If it doesn't work, just restore your old .kde-directories and search for a software solution. Look at the ML archive, there are plenty of KDE3-Versions for debian, 3.0.5 is on the way at the moment, maybe something is broken because of this. -- - Thomas Ritter

But Arts is a real monster, I brutally removed the artsd binary from my system to prevent this CPU-eater from being loaded, and it's not really a pity that KDE multimedia apps won't start without it - they're crappy anyway. Artsd is a tool for musicians to have flexible control about mixing and filtering of sound data, but in the name of hell, it is definitely not a suitable tool for every day sound access, just to hear system sounds next to mp3 playing - it is far too huge! -- - Thomas Ritter
Re: compiling kde-apps without --prefix=/usr
Hi, if I understand it correctly, you want to separate packages from self-compiled binaries, but KDE likes to have all these things in one place ;) Just make a package. Go to the source dir of your app you want to compile and type "deb-make". A directory named debian/ is being created. Call "debian/rules binary" and your package will be created. Any configure options you want to set, you can set in the shell script debian/rules. -- - Thomas Ritter
Removal of KDE
Hi, I just stumbled with installing KDE 3.1. Just inserting the apt.sources line and running apt-get dist-upgrade was way too brutal for apt to handle. While clearing up all the mess (I hadn't done a dist-upgrade for some time and apt downloaded more than 300 packages, also trying to upgrade my KDE 3.0.3 version.) I deinstalled all my KDE packages by typing apt-get remove kdelibs, getting a looong list of unmet dependancies and building a long apt-get remove line. Then I installed kde-3.1 and it worked. But removing those packages was really a pain... Reading apt-get's manpage I found no option to remove the given package and all packages depending on that. Does such a thing exist? Something like "apt-get --with-all-depending-packages kdelibs" would be a great help. (This should be at least loosely related to debian-kde as it is for removing KDE.) -- - Thomas Ritter

Dependendcy problem KDE3/wine

You have selected cups as printing system, I guess... Either your cups installation is incomplete or you just haven't added a printer yet.
