Kmail in 4.2.4 -- another old bugaboo has come back (does so every so often): The columns in the various view-panes do not scale correctly to pane width. Folder panes, for example, will not show unread and total mails without a horizontal scrollbar--I had gotten around that before, somehow. The folder- contents pane will truncate rather than rescale but can be set up properly by dragging. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

A few problems with KDE 4.2
Hi there. It's become annoying to try to keep Sid on my machine, with KDE 3.5 on. A few KDE 3.5 apps I need to use started breaking, and I had other annoyances. So I'm trying 4.2 again. I still have the same problems as before. Before reporting these as bugs, perhaps other people could give me suggestions. I've tried researching for info on most of these, but I can't seem to find answers. Yes, there are a large number of them. This is why I didn't want to use KDE 4 originally :-/ - Konsole no longer has configurable inactivity time setting. It defaults to 10 seconds, which is too short for me in many cases. - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace seems to have been disabled. I'm already using the Dontzap serverflags xorg.conf option, that doesn't seem to make a difference (I disagree with with xorg having changed this package, and users not being warned afaict, but that's offtopic for this list...). - I can't configure the date format in the system tray clock. It shows 3 Jun 2009, I want it to show 2009-06-03 - When I installed kde-full with aptitude, sound wasn't working in any any apps (even mpg321 on the command-line), and the KDE sound settings couldn't detect backends. I think that phonon was blocking /dev/pcm (for example) in such a way that apps can't use them any more, but not able to play sound sent to the devices. The only sound that worked was the KDE login and logout sounds. It was by pure chance that I found out about gstreamer backends and tried installing a few of those packages, which seemed to fix things. I didn't notice a recommend/suggest for gstreamer plugins when installing the kde4-full package. - The USB device detection popup from the bottom bar, gives an option to unmount, but when I use that option, the entire bottom bar freezes up, and I have to restart kdm on the command-line (which I have to go to with ctrl+alt+f1 since I can't use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace any more) to get my system back into working order. - Sometimes when my system is under load, compositing is switched off. I don't seem to be able to turn it back on. I tried going to System Settings - Desktop. Enable desktop effects was still checked. I tried unchecking and re-checking it, but I got an error message saying that it couldn't reenable. I also found info on the web about pressing ctrl+shift+f12, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Compositing was only reenabled when I restarted kdm on the command-line - Many of the downloadable plasmoids (when you go to install widgits) have errors and don't work at all. - I used to be able to set a Redmond KDE theme in kpersonalizer, which made the windows and keyboard shortcuts work like Windows XP. I can't seem to find the theme, or an equivalent to kpersonalizer. For instance, I usually use windows key-M to minimize all Windows. To fix that, I had to disable Meta-M in Amarok, install the Show the Desktop plasmoid, and set it to activate with Meta-M. - The migration process is a bit weird. Sometimes you need to login twice into KDE 4.2 (after upgrading from 3.5) for the migration wizard to pop up. - Kmail seems to lose several settings from 3.5. For instance, I need to re-add the sender info (SMTP server, etc). - The new Kmail layout with aggregation was confusing. I turned it back to a flat view as soon as I found out how. - The startup progress display (with icons that animate from left to right) disappears if you click outside it. The KDE startup completes, but it doesn't look very nice. Yes, I shouldn't click outside, but it still bothers me me. - The application launcher seems to have two matches for many applications. eg if I type in amarok, then I get these two results: Amarok Audio Player (Amarok) - Konsole has hidden away many of the features I use daily. I now need to go through menus or keyboard shortcuts, instead of being able to click on visible icons, or find them in the context menus. - KWrite has beome weird. I can't seem to set the indentation/hilighting type anywhere, it autodetects, and I don't seem to be able to manually set the hilighting type. - Kwrite doesn't set the correct auto-indentation for Python. I have to go into the Kwrite settings and change the indentation there, which will probably affect editing of non-Python source files. - The application launcher program doesn't always automatically close when you click outside. Sometimes I have to click on it's icon on the bottom of the screen to make it close. - I can't find a way to set the KDE 3.5 look and feel for KDE 4.2. 3.5 had a nostalgic (win 95/98)-like simplicity, with very little bling, but it was very functional. I'd love it I could set apps back to that window theme instead of the newer OSX/Windows-like shininess. The shininess and effects are nice, but I prefer KDE 3.5's somewhat spartan and highly responsive UI more. I think those are most of the things I've noticed so far. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

I thought that KDE4 might be hijacking it in some way. please try the xine backend of phonon. Thanks. Like I said, I got it working (by installing various backends in synaptic), but: 1) Users shouldn't have to do this to get sound working. It should be a kde-full or other metapackage dependency of some kind (I *might* have missed it as a suggest somewhere). 2) Ideally, if you need to install extra packages manually to get sound working, KDE should tell you this, rather than forcing the user to go hunting on Google. It seems like KDE steals ALSA for itself (similar to Arts sound daemon seemed to in the past), and the user needs to go find a way to re-enable the sound. I was (until I discovered by chance the gstreamer packages in synaptic) actually searching for a way to completely disable the KDE sound system (like I did with arts before), so my apps sound could work again. fixed in 4.2.4 (kdebase-workspace) Thanks. Do you know when this version will be added to Sid? When I see this (with a nvidia card), it requrise a X restart to somehow reinitialize things. I_don't see it on my intel machine, so I kind of blame nvidia. Whatever the reason is, it seems like restarting X fixes it. Maybe that does a more thorough video restart. Possibly KDE could add a hack for nvidia, that does a similar low level graphical restart to re-enable compositing? Or maybe some kind of extra option somewhere that lets you force it. afaik, still a work in progress, the script interfaces still have something to be finished. Non-script plasma widgets is not installable this way (and will never be) Thanks for the info. So for the moment, the separately-installable widgits should be considered as unusable? Some things are just different with new versions. It would be nice to be able to set a Redmond-like mode in a kpersonalizer-type wizard, like I could in KDE 3.5. Do you know if there is kpersonalizer-equivalent (hopefully with Redmond etc) planned for KDE 4 at some point? Some things are just different with new versions. I like the aggregations. The good news is that the option to disable aggregations was very easy to find, so this wasn't a big problem. But coming from 3.5, my kmail inbox looked very weird. I have a workflow around my email inbox which the aggregation disrupted. Please file a bug on bugs.kde.org Thanks, I'll do that. Getting your and other people's feedback here helped a lot, so I can understand the situation a bit better through discussion before spamming the bug trackers. - The application launcher program doesn't always automatically close when you click outside. Sometimes I have to click on it's icon on the bottom of the screen to make it close. Bug or feature? I don't know. A bug in my opinion. For instance, while editing this mail in kwrite, and I went to the app launcher, and then changed my mind and went back to kwrite. But the app launcher menu is still floating on top, obscuring my view of the kwrite window. I had to go back to the menu to close it.

Problems with KDE/KMail
I originally sent this email to the debian-users list, but someone
there said that I ought to move the thread here.
My current set-up:
Debian Lenny
KDE 3.5.10
KMail 1.9.9
KMail has been broken since the upgrade to 3.5.10 from 3.5.9.
Everything works, so far as I can tell, except POP3, but that is a
rather big except. :-( I can manage with my email on Gmail protem,
but it is becoming a real problem.
I have been waiting patiently for an upgrade to fix this, but in spite of two
occasions when a large number of KDE updates were applied, the situation has
if anything deteriorated.
When Lenny updated OOo to 2.4.1 OOo was broken for about a fortnight. So
should I just sit tight?
I have attempted to purge and install KMail with the following result (0), but
have so far refused the offer of so extreme a solution as that proposed by
aptitude. Particularly as, if the break is at present in Lenny rather than
localised here, I would simply get back where I am until the problem is
fixed.
What does the list advise that I should do? I could obviously switch
to a different email client, I would rather revert to Etch than do
without KMail.
TIA

Re: problems starting KDE after xorg update
I figured it out. For some reason, following the upgrade, the loopback interface wasn't binding to 127.0.0.1.

problems with kde 3.4.2 in Debian testing
Dear Maintainers, fist of all let me thank you for investing your time for maintaining the debian version of KDE, which I really appreciate. However, I have some problems with the new version of KDE (3.4.2) which went into testing last week. Together with the new version of KDE, a new version of libc6 was installed. As a consequence, I get now bus errors when starting openoffice or Data Explorer. I'm not sure if it's really necessary to change the libc just for installing a new KDE version, but I hope everything will be allright again soon.

Re: problems starting KDE
Hi, I remember having a similar problem some time ago: On start, KDE would freeze in the initializing screen. I am not shure about the background with mouse pointer and the .xsession-errors file, though. However, I solved this problem by removing some leftover KDE session file. I am not sure which file it really was, but as it is a fresh install, just remove the .kde subdirectory in your home directory. You could also try starting KDE as another user, as these files are stored in the home directories. Hope this helps! Regards Clemens 3.

Good (GMT+1)afternoon, I've been compiling KDE 3.4.1 (from the experimental source) for my Sid powered ibook and I encountered these two problems: - The libiw-dev in Sid (27+28pre8-1) does no permit the compilation of kdenetwork; the wifi part of the compilation fails with: iw_pr_ether' undeclared (first use this function) It seems that iw_pr_ether has disappeared of /usr/include/iwlib.h. Using Etchs libiw-dev, the compilation ends fine. - Less important, the pbbuttonsd-dev in experimental does not permit the compilation of kdeutils (the compilation fails when build kmilo for powerbook).

cursor problems on kde multi-head using matrox g450
Hi all: I've just installed the debian TESTING distribution. KDE (X11?) seems to have a few issues sorting out which display things should be on. Little things mostly. When konqueror is started and the cursor is changed to include the icon when on :0.1 the trailing icon will appear on :0.0 at various times. Other packages have the same problem. When the cursor is restored on :0.1 the trailing cursor will continue on :0.0 for some time. I'd certainly welcome any information. If it is a bug I can report it in more detail and dig up more info too. Thank you Dale

Some problems in kde 3.2 bar icons
Dear All, After I have upgraded to kde 3.2, I have found that some icons on the kde bar is not function properly. The konqueror and home icons are the example. If I click these icons, none of new window appears. But if I open the file mananger from the kde menus, both the icons work properly. I do not know why. Any suggestion? Regards, James Ng

OK. This corrects at least part of the problem with KDM. Another problem with kcontrol: I cannot enable a password-less login (home machine).

aRts Problems with KDE 3.2.0
Hi All, I'm running the experimental KDE 3.2.0 packages on sid. I'm seeing two problems with aRts (I'm assuming that they are related). 1. With all settings for aRts at there defaults, I get CPU overload errors when aRts tries to load (this usually followed by a segfault on knotify). If I change the hardware setting from auto detect to ALSA, they most of this disappears. 2. While playing back an mp3, through either noatun or juk, aRts consumes 30% of the CPU. With ogg vorbis files it uses 50% of the cpu. For comparison mpg123 uses 4% cpu and ogg123 uses 7% cpu while playing back the same files. I'm running kernel 2.4.24 using ALSA 1.0 on a PII 400. I also saw the CPU overload problem on an Athlon XP 2000+ (same kernel/ALSA versions). Has anyone else seen or dealt with these or similar problems? Thanks, James
kdm, kcontrol, and other problems under KDE 3.2 with Sid
I have installed the un-released kde3.2 packages as recommended on http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE for Sid users who are impatient. These packages are very good indeed and thanks to those who have made them available. Here is a couple of problems I have had: 1) kdm does not work. The symptoms appear to be Xauthority related. There is a temporary Xauthority file getting created in /var/run/xauth/. After logging into kde using the kdm front end, the system just does nothing. Nothing appears to be running inside of X. I can get out with a cntrl-alt-backspace. 2) individual logins at the console and an exec startkde via the .xinitrc file and xinit works fine as usual and expected. 3) There is not kcontrol icon in the Kmenu. I had to add this by hand. YOu just about have to have kcontrol ! 4) My xmms-arts package had to be removed, so I have problems running xmms under kde3.2 using the arts sound server. -- James D.

E.g.libvorbis0a conflicts with the woody KDE3 debs from download.kde.org which prevents all apps that have libvorbis0a somewhere in their dependency chain from being upgradable :-/ (e.g. sox, sweep, timidity). So for now, in testing, libvorbis-dev is uninstallable because it wants to remove all of KDE3 :( Or is there a KDE3 build to be compatible with current debian testing (means: compiled with libvorbis0a package)?

arm linking problems keeping KDE 3 out of testing
Hi, I've been trying to figure out why KDE 3 is still not in the main testing repository yet, and I think I've kinda nailed it down. The reason, according to the update_excuses.html [1], is that it is out of date on arm. This is caused by it failing to compile on the arm buildd's.. I've then checked the buildd logs for kdelibs on arm [2], and it seems that the problem is this: /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_COMPAT-o libkdecore.la -rpath /usr/lib-L/usr/X11R6/lib -version-info 5:0:1 -no-undefined fakes.lo vsnprintf.lo libkdecore_la.all_cpp.lo malloc/libklmalloc.la svgicons/libkdesvgicons.la ../dcop/libDCOP.la ../libltdl/libltdlc.la -lXext -lresolv -lXinerama -L/usr/lib -lart_lgpl_2 -lm ../kdefx/libkdefx.la *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lXinerama. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting *** with libXinerama and none of the candidates passed a file format test *** using a file magic. Last file checked: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.a *** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be *** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library *** or is declared to -dlopen it. *** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols, *** because either the platform does not support them or *** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined, *** libtool will only create a static version of it. So the problem is that libXinerama is not available as a dynamic library, ( which I've checked and is indeed not the case, and I think I've read somewhere that there was a good reason for this ( Daniel ? ) ). For some reason ( which I don't really understand ), the arm linker then decides to only make a static lib of kdecore ( and kdeui as well ). This causes problems further down the kdelibs compile. So, what I'm basically asking, is whether someone is looking at this, or has any idea on a way to solve this ? This problem is keeping back KDE 4 from testing, and I personally think it's about time that KDE 3 enters testing..

Re: Problems with KDE Packages after 3.1.0 = 3.1.1
I ran into the same problem, and all I had to do was un-install kde and then reinstall all the 3.1.1 packages (this will kill kdm and X so do it from one of your virtual terminals). I think that a better tool to use is dselect because you can see the versions when you pick the packages and it also solves dependency conflicts (or at least tries too).

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 package file 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 tab 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.

problems with KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media
Hi everyone, this is just in case someone has the same problem I had. I am not sure if something needs to be done about it or not, ie. if it's a bug or not. I have a problem with the KDE start-up service KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media I am using Ralf's latest .deb packages. This service is running by default, and if it does, it causes the kernel to print the following message into the syslog and the kernel ring buffer, at a speed of around 100 lines per minute. kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! I have an scsi DVD drive and an scsi cd writer which never caused problems before. I am not sure which of the discs the message refers to. Whatever is causing these messages to be printed also seems to interfere adversely with cd-burning: sometimes the CD can't be fixated and cdrecord just loops (using X-CD Roast), something which I have never observed before upgrading to KDE 3.1. I can kill cdrecord then, but the scsi cd writer just disappeares from the scsi bus then and I have to restart my computer to get it to be recognised again (also something which I never had to do before, and I had it for more than 2 years now). Stopping the service in Settings - Control Center - KDE Components - Service Manager - Startup Services seems to get rid of the problem. Cheers -Tim

Problems with KDE
Hi. I have KDE 2.2.2 on my computer and (nearly) everything works just fine. Eccept for 2 things: 1) I can click on the DVD icon, it mounts and tries to start konqueror, but konqueror does not open! 2) Using konqueror for webbrowsing, it often uses too small fontswhich I cannot change! I found out: In Control Center/Country Language I cannot enter a charset, the line is always empty. I also can't do this in konqueror. These functions 1) click icon 2) use the right size for Fonts and the line in charset do work, using another user. But as my computer is used as a one-person-pc I have a very nice userenvironment and it would take very long to put everything into the another profile. If I would just copy every file I think I would also copy the errors which occur. I think the problem can be solved by changing something in /home/user/.kde, but I don't know that much about KDE to know what to do. Has anyone an idea? Thank you very much and regards Markus

Major problems with KDE 2.2 and konqy
I'm running the most recent packages from unstable, and I've been having big problems with Konqueror. About half the time when I log in, konqy won't load - it just sits there . Sometimes, if I kill all konqy's, it will say something about a bad version history, and still just sit there. But the weird thing is, if I log out and log back in, everything works. Very strange... everything else seems to work fine, it's just konqy. -David

Problems with KDE (qt-2.2.3)
Hi all, I expirienced problems with KDE after the last upgrade. I'm using the .deb-packages from kde.tdyc.com. When I restarted KDE the KDM-Screen showed the background but not the KDM-Window. Remembering, that selfcompiling qt helped in a similar case in the past, i downloaded the qt-2.2.3 source from the troll-ftpsite, compiled it and put the results in the place of the package-supplied ones. Now the kdm-Window looks fine... but the background on the desktop itself is grey only (wouldn't be a problem) and the ALT-F2 does not work, also K- Run... does not work. Has anyone seen similar things? Matth
