Edited the menu and saved, but when I actioned the menu, my new entry was not there. Still, progress of some kind. Not sure... logout and log back in (shouldn't be necessary). Check /var/log Check that it isn't a hidden menu entry. eg.:- $ grep -i showhidden .kde/share/config/kmenueditrc ShowHidden=true Then look in kmenuedit and ensure the Hidden entry isn't ticked. Backup up ~/.config/menus then check entries beneath there - modify as necessary. It's possible you didn't fill out all the required fields... perhaps retry (if your menu entry has vanished from kmenueditor) by copying an existing menu entry and editing, then saving.

Getting the microphone to work on Creative Audigy
Hi! I have installed siduction onto my desktop as well as installing at long last my new Creative Audigy sound card. I have the KDE desktop and my kernel is 3.1-6.towo.2-siduction-686. I am having trouble getting the microphone to work. It is plugged into the blue socket on the sound card which the manual says is for Line In or microphone. arecord does not produce any sound with the command arecord -Ddefault:CA0106 -d10 test.wav the command aplay -Ddefault:CA0106 test.wav certainly produces a background hiss, but no actual input. Can anybody help me? Regards -- Dr Sian Mountbatten siduction user -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Menu Editor for KDE Launchpad on siduction is missing
The menu editor for the KDE Launchpad menu on the siduction distribution is missing, so that it is impossible to add menu items for programs installed outwith the Debian package system. For example, I have installed Firefox in /usr/local/lib/firefox and have created a symbolic link in /usr/bin to the firefox binary. But the menu does not have an item to launch Firefox. I have to choose Run Command... and put firefox into the one line window, press return and up it comes. But I would like to use the menu. So what has happened to the menu editor?

KMenu editor not saving properly
I've been trying to delete a number of entries in the Internet subfolder. The menu editor records the items deleted and inserts a new item, but when I click on Save the program very slowly saves the menu according to the window showing the saving process progress. But when it gets to the 90% mark, it starts saving again and repeatedly does this without saving anything as is clear when I next click on the KLauncher button. What's going on? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Copying of web pages by Firefox
Someone in another group had a web-page in a Usenet newsgroup article which I clicked on. KDE loaded firefox (which is my default browser), but instead of giving me the web page, it copied the web-page of the link into /var/tmp/kdecache-sian/krun/13950.0.iu.html Unfortunately, most of the links in the page are reference a file in /var/tmp/kdecache-sian/krun/ which I do not have. How can I prevent Firefox copying the web-page? And why does it do it? I might note that the newsgroup is soc.culture.esperanto and the web page is in Esperanto using UTF-8. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Disappearance of the Debian menu item in KDE menu
When I first loaded Debian wheezy from a NETINST CD and after packages were downloaded, the KDE menu had a Debian menu item which gave me access to those programs which did not appear in the KDE menu. For example, xkill. That menu item has disappeared. In the menu editor, the item appears, but there is nothing in it. How do I get the Debian menu item back? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

How can I prevent Firefox copying the web-page? And why does it do it? That's a weird place for Firefox to save temporary files :-? I agree. From what kind of client (newsreader) did you load the URL? Maybe you Knode have to instruct your reader how to handle http://; protocol and links inside it or maybe is just the URI source (.html) was embedded in the message and thus the newsreader thought it was a file to be save somewhere... I might note that the newsgroup is soc.culture.esperanto and the web page is in Esperanto using UTF-8. Try to load the newsgroup messages with another nntp client to see if you can mimic the same behaviour. Will try another newsreader.

The following link might help to learn how to set up the Compose key http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/ComposeKey On reading that web-page, I have discovered that the instructions for KDE cannot be followed because the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default does not exist. What is more, the directory /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d does not exist. And there is no file called xim in the /etc/X11 tree. I've tried 'setxkbmap epo' which gives esperanto accented letters on q,w,x,y,z so that I can no longer use those letters. It was not long before I executed the command 'setxkbmap gb' to get things back to normal. Clearly, I need to set the compose key (to R-Win) so that I have the usual qwerty alphabet as well as the extra characters.

Cousin Stanley wrote: Doug wrote: The answer is to set up your Compose key. The following link might help to learn how to set up the Compose key http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/ComposeKey Many thanks for your help. I set the Right-Win key in the KDE System Settings-Input Devices-Keyboard window and copied the file /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF8/Compose to ~/.XCompose, logged out and in again. Used xfontsel -print to print onto an Xterm the name of a ISO10646 font and then pasted the name into the KMenuEdit window for UXterm. That is, the command for the uxterm was uxterm -fn -misc-etc-10646-1 I can now compose Esperanto characters in the Xterm using the Right Win key. Here are all the Esperanto characters keyed into kwrite: ĉĝĥĵŝŭ ĈĜĤĴŜŬ So that problem is solved.
