Re: broken line graphics in konsole
i have problem with line graphics in text mode programs (e.g. mc, elinks, dselect; see screenshot from mc in attachment) in konsole. i tried several fonts, but all except linux has same problem. xterm with same fonts works fine. it's almost up-to-date testing box. any ideas? Finally I managed to find solution to my problem (but not explanation). Recent upgrade of glibc removed my LANG settings from /etc/environment, hence LANG defaulted to POSIX. After I changed LANG to locale I usually use (or other that uses same charset), it works fine again. th.

Bug#247217: konsole: exiting a session gives error message session exited with error status xxx
On Mon, May 03, 2004 at 11:02:50PM +0200, Chris Vanden Berghe wrote: When I exit a session in Konsole (by typing 'exit'), I almost always get an error message saying that the session exited with error status xxx, where xxx is quite often '1' or '127'. But also other numbers are possible. This is repeatable on my system: open a new konsole tab type a non-existent command get 'a command not found message from bash' type 'exit' This always results in such an error status message, but this is certainly not the only way to get one. I never had this behavior with older versions of konsole... Any ideas? Thanks, I may be wrong, but I think this is *feature*, not bug ;). I finally realized after reading your report (especially description how to reproduce it). Konsole prints this error message each time program executed for given session (typically it's shell) exits with non-zero exit status. Shells exit with exit status of last executed command. If you type non-existent command, its exit status is 127, which is then used by shell as it's exit status. Anyway, I agree that it's quite annoying feature (at least sometimes / for some users). Maybe it should be configurable. Try filing wishlist bug on KDE's bug tracking system. th.
(strange) problem with fixed fonts in kde and konsole
Hi! I have encountered strange problem with fonts on one sid machine with Kde 3.1.4. Problem is, that font dialog in Control Center - Appearance Themes - Fonts for Fixed width fonts offers only one variant of fixed font, which looks quite ugly in all sizes. However font dialog for any other font category (general, toolbar, menu, ...) show all available fonts, both bitmap and truetype, even various fixed variants (elt, misc, sony, ...). Same problem occurs in konsole. When I try to choose Linux or Unicode font in konsole, I get error message about non-existent font, which also suggests looking into README.linux.console, which does not seem to be in any debian package. Other kde applications (kate, kile, ...) does not seem to be affected. This problem occurs for every user but one! For that one user, everything works flawlessly, font dialog in both konsole and Control Center shows also other fonts. I tried to create new user and use kde config files from user, which works fine, but without success. I also don't remember doing any nasty changes in global config. Any ideas? While experimenting I realized, that on one other sid machine with Kde 3.1.5, font dialog shows only one Fixed font, not all variants (elt, misc, sony, ...), however gtkfontsel shows them separately. Can anyone explain why? Thanks a lot in advance! th. PS: Please, CC your replies also to my private mail, thanks.
Re: Update of libxrender causes relocation error on startup of KDE

Perhaps you need to disable prelink completely for the error to go away? Even with the new libxrender1 I can still run KDE fine and get no error messages related to relocations in .xsession-errors I'm not sure, whether this problem is related only to prelink. I've had prelink-ed few libs and binaries (openoffice suggested it during install), but I completely removed prelink and reinstalled all packages, for which md5sum did not match. Now I don't have any prelinked (modified) files in system (according to debsums), but problem still remains. ;( Any other suggestions (besides xreneder 0.8.2)? th.
