changing font size when printing html
Hi ML, can anyone tell me how I can change the font size when printing a html page in Konqueror (KDE 3.2, sarge). I have tried several settings in kcontrol and konqueror, without any success. Google didn't give me an answer :-( (maybe I didn't ask the right question ;-) ). TIA Tobias -- Diese Email-Adresse dient nur als Spam-Ziel. Nachrichten an diese Adresse werden nicht gelesen!

I do not know what happens if you force X to start with different DPIs. I've searched the open bugs without any hints. Maybe if I have a look at the archived...

Couldn't it be worked around with user CSS style sheet and @media

@media print {
BODY {
font-size: 80%;
}
}
Good idea! I'll check this out some time in a week or so when I have

kooka and 3pass scanners
Hi all, I'm using kooka 0.42 (official Debian testing package) and scanning over the network (using the sane net dll) works fine - except the fact that kooka only saves the red part of the image (I'm using the mustek 6000cx _3pass_ scanner - it's not state of the art, but it's ok for me). I cannot verify if this is a problem of scanning over the network because I don't have a SCSI-Controller on my laptop. Single-pass scanners work fine, so does xscanimage. Can anyone verify this problem? I searched bugs.kde.org and could not find a bug-report. Thanks in advance, Tobias -- Diese Email-Adresse dient nur als Spam-Ziel.

changing proxy settings of konqueror in a shell script
Hi all, does anyone know how to change the proxy settings of konqueror (kde3.2) from within a shell script. Actually, I need to change from direct internet connection to using a proxy (defined in a autoconfiguration script downloaded from a webserver - this url does not change). This can be achieved by changing the ProxyType setting (from 0 to 2 and vice versa) in ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc: ---8x--- [Proxy Settings] ProxyType=0 ---8x--- I have to tell konqueror to re-read kioslaverc. For this, I wanted to use dcop, but I couldn't find the correct function to call in kdcop - if there is one. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Tobias -- Diese Email-Adresse dient nur als Spam-Ziel.

kdm-autologin and PATH
Hello everybody, I'm using the autologin function of kdm. But when I want to start a program that I have compiled locally I have to supply the full path (e.g. in K|Run command (I'm using the german l18n so I'm not sure what's the english name of the K-Menu entry where I can enter command names)). It seems that the /usr/local/kde (where these programs are insalled) is not in the path. When I launch it from the bash (where I have added /usr/local/kde/bin to the path) everything works fine. Also when I login manually. I have checked different files where I have added /usr/local/kde/bin to PATH variables (/etc/kde3/kdm/*, /etc/X11/*, kdm initscript), but nothing worked.

Re: kdeeject - unmouting media patch
Hi all interested users, I sat down and patched eject 2.0.13 which comes with debian woody. Now, eject does not follow any symlinks to device files, but uses the original command line argument to look up the mount point and tries to unmount the device. You have to use the same device file name (either a real file or a symlink) to eject as to mount the media. This is quite a quick'n'dirty patch, but both eject and kdeeject works for me now :-) Tobias Am Mittwoch, 11.

SOLVED: strange k3b behaviour
After removing ~/.kde/share/config/k3brc ~/.kde/share/apps/k3b k3b seems to work normally. Thanks to the anonymous hint-giver! Tobias Hi ML, I'm using Ralf's KDE3.1 (thanks Ralf!) and k3b. I did k3bsetup and the user can burn CD images with cdrecord. As root, k3b behaves just normal, but in the user account, the IDE does not 'work' properly. The file selector (sub-)window is displayed in an extra window and the 'main' window with menu bar, toolbar, etc. is empty (except menu, toolbar, statusbar). After creating a new project, as I can add files to the session and burn the image under k3b, but there is no project window. -- /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / No proprietary formats in attachments without request X i.e. *NO* WORD, POWERPOINT or EXCEL documents / \ Respect Open Standards http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html http://www.goldmark.org/netrants/no-word/attach.html Registered Linux User #293344

If the problem persists and I have the time I might patch the code and recompile it. But until now I don't know how to do that in the Debian way... Probably, a bug report on bugs.kde.org is an option...

Re: kio problems
Hi, it's me again... I found this at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53202 --- Additional Comment #2 From Thiago Macieira 2003-01-28 00:13 --- While the problem isn't fixed by default, you can work around it by using this.

Re: final binaries of 3.1 up
the final binaries of the RC 7 are now uploaded including a new kdeutils Thanks Ralf for your great piece of work!!! Unfortunately, I have a problem accessing SMB-shares in a Windows network. The lisa daemon works. Entering lan://localhost/host, konqueror shows the available services (e.g. SMB, HTTP, ...). When I select SMB, the address is lan://localhost/host/SMB, not being redirected to smb://host. This is accompanied with the following error message on the console: kio (KIOJob): WARNING: ListJob: Redirection from lan://localhost/host/SMB to smb://host REJECTED! In KDE 3.0.5, it showed me the SMB resources. I get this list if I enter smb://host/ directly. smb://host produces the kio (KIOJob): WARNING: ListJob: Redirection from smb://r1168.ga1.swh.mhn.de/Restricted to smb://r1168.ga1.swh.mhn.de/Restricted/ REJECTED!following error: kio (KIOJob): WARNING: ListJob: Redirection from smb://host to smb://hst/ REJECTED!) Double-clicking on the share gives the following error: kio (KIOJob): WARNING: ListJob: Redirection from smb://host/share to smb://host/share/ REJECTED! no matter if I enter smb://host/share/ or smb://host/share Can anyone give me a hint how to solve this problem? Are there any config files for this KIOJob? BTW, double-clicking on lan://localhost/host - HTTP changes the URL to http://host! I can access the shares via smbclient!

Re: Karolina KDE 3.1 - missing packages
Hi all, thanks for all your postings! Actually, while writing, I accidently hit a key and I thought I canceled the mail - but it was sent. While re-writing the message, I found out that these packages are in the unstable tree and gave up (for now) :-( Sorry, ML! Tobias Am Dienstag, 7.
