AA again
I know this is not really debian specific, but if anyone have an idea I would appreciate it. (sorry for posting this here, bu I generally find that still there is too much confusion and distribution specific problems with AA in linux) I got Anti-aliased fonts working with KDE 2.2.1 and XFree 4.1. I have too problems to be solved. I only have AA fonts when I set QT_XFT=1 in an xterm, and start an application from that xterm. How can I set QT_XFT before starting KDE to have AA everywhere in KDE? What config file do I have to edit? The second question: I love AA, but I absolutely need konsole with the linux console font (not AA-ed). Konsole looks crap when I use AA-ed fonts. Is there any way to have a specific app started with non AA-d fonts from an AA-ed environment? Thanks in advance, and again sorry for bugging the list with this question again...

Problems with new potato KDE upgrade
Hi All, After upgrading to the new stable potato KDE packages, I noticed that my favourite font have evaporated from konsole. I use the Linux font, the menu is still there, selected, but the font is substituted with something else. When tried to find the font, went to custom font then back to Linux, I got a message saying: misc-console-medium-r-normal-16-160-72-72--160iso10646-1 not found I would like to get back my font. This was basically the only one usable for me in konsole...Please help. The other thing I wanted to know about this upgrade, whethet there is a changelog or something to show what changed. Overall my KCC shows 2.1.2, but eg konqueror is 2.1.1. Also the Debian menu in the main kmenu tree is broken. Spreading the Debian menu accross the appropriate K-menu itemss is a good idea I like it. (and is happening after the upgrade) Nevertheless, I would like to see the whole intact Debian menu in the main tree as it was before the upgrade. Now, I just see Apps - Editor and Apps - Net, nothing else. How can I fix this? I appreciate you help, and looking forward to any solution, especially as to where the Linux font did go - I use konsole a lot, and this is a really painful thing, making the whole upgrade useless for me... Thanks in advance. -- Viktor

AA with potato (strictly)
Hi All, I know this was discussed in this list already, I did my homework, read the archives, but I am still confused. Here is my problem: I have stock potato 2.2.r3 with XFree 3.3.6. and Ivan's KDE for potato. I want to get antialised fonts work n KDE with as less unstable packages as it is possible. I think I need the following steps: I need to get XFree 4.02 or 4.03 I already have the right qt version My card is OK (NVIDIA TNT2 M64 - it does the antialiasing under Mandrake) And the questions: 1. Do I need anything else to be installed? 2. How can I install and configure XFree4.03 with apt-get or dselect? 3. What do I have to put my sources.list? Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
Re: Konqeror and bigger font in text view
All Right, I found that after someone in the list pointed out that I should look into the highlighting section... BTW, this section would have been the last I would look for font **sizes**... As you said, hidden... Thank you for your help again.

Unless you remembered kedit, but that is not the advanced editor. And BTW, if you change the font in kedit, that does not effect konqueror viewer. Michael Sullivan solved the problem, it was the fixed width font in KCC (see the thread above). Thank you very much anyway. Yes you can change the fonts you have to go to settings-configure highlighting-normal if you're talking about plain text. I did notice a problem that sometimes the effects don't take effect in konqueror's embedded text till after you close kwrite -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Konsole showing apps in the titlebar
Hi All, I would like to have konsole to show the name of the apps running in the titlebar. E.g if I start mutt in konsole, when I minimize konsole, it would be nice (and logical) to see mutt, not konsole or /bin/bash - kosole... Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
Konqeror and bigger font in text view
Hi fellow KDE Debianers, I love Konqi, but there is one thing, which bugs me a lot: Whenever I use Konqueror to view a text file (on the web, or even in my home directory) it loads the text viewer (which is I guess the text editor embedded or something) and shows me the text file with miniscule tiny font. I can't for my life figure out how to set this font to a size that normal humans could read it... I have no fancy ttfs or AA, just plain KDE 2.2.1. Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance. -- Viktor
Re: Konqeror and bigger font in text view
Hi Andreas, Unfortunately, Under Settings there is no Configure editor option, not when I open konqi, not even when there is a text file viewed. The only options are configure: toolbars, konqueror,keybindings Any other idea, I could try?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor Hi Look under Settings-Configure Editor (if you have such an option as soon as a text file is shown - I'm using current CVS and I'm not sure about the official releases). Under Fonts the default font (including size) can be changed. Andi
Keeping kdm while starting gnome
Hi All, I have stable potato, with Ivan's KDE. I also have ximian-gnome 1.4 installed, but I did not install gdm, because it conflicts with kdm. I would like to be able to start gnome as well occasionally, from the kdm menu. How can I edit the kdm start menu, and what to put in there to be able to start ximian gnome? (the latter is not kde question, but someone might know, I have no idea how to start gnome from the console either...)
Re: [Re: KDE install from a directory]
Thanks, this seems to be very useful, and is not late for me at all. I still could not install KDE yet... I cant wait to try it. I have a question though: deb file:/data/KDE ./ ^^ What does this mean? I saw that in the sources.list file most of the entries has something appended, like: optional, potato non-us etc. Is this ./ supposed to replace that?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor Yes, you can put it in your /etc/apt/sources.list. (I do it all the time!) But the format would be something like this: deb file:/data/KDE ./ First, HOWEVER, you have to create the magic Packages (or Packages.gz) file. The program to do this is dpkg-scanpackages (provided by the package dpkg-dev). If I understand your file system correctly, the first steps would be: debian:/$ cd /data/KDE debian:/data/KDE$ dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null Packages This creates a Packages file out of all the .deb's located below the directory /data/KDE. (The /dev/null is to just disable some abstruse dpkg-scanpackages option.) Then you add the line I mentioned above to your sources.list. EXCERPT /etc/apt/sources.list # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb file:/data/KDE ./ SNIP, SNIP END EXCERPT To make this setup work properly, you probably have to put this line before any deb http://; or deb ftp://; sources. The you run: debian:/$ apt-get update After this you can presumably (if you have really downloaded all of Ivan's stuff), run: debian:/$ apt-get install task-kde kdebase That's all there is to it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

KDE install from a directory
I am new to Debian. Just installed potato, and want to put KDE2.1. I have all the KDE deb packages from kde.debian.net in a directory /data/KDE.

KDE2.1 final packages - only the necessary?
Hi Debianers, I am new to Debian, but not to Linux. I will install potato at the end of this week, and I would like to put the kde2.1 final onto it. I know, I could use apt-get to do this, but I only have a dialup connection. So I decided to go to the potato (main) mirrors at kde.debian.net to download the packages at work where the bandwith is higher. In the potato/main/i386binaries/ directory, I've found zillions of packages some of them not releted to kde2.1 final at all. Also, when looked at the packages description, I found that there are conflicting basic packages like this: Package: kdebase Version: 4:2.1.0.1-0.potato4 snip Conflicts: konqueror ( 4:2.1-final-0), konsole ( 4:2.1-final-0) So I am really confused about what is essential to download for a working KDE2.1 on potato... In the past, when I used an rpm based distro, kde was packaged into bigger chunks, and it was easy to decide which is essential for the system. Could anyone point me the right direction in terms of what packages should I download for a basic KDE system? After that I do not mind to use apt-get and gradually getting the remaining debs at the pace I like...
