Re: [expert] Why 2 menu editors?
On Wednesday 15 August 2001 10:55, Praedor Tempus wrote: I am running KDE 2.2 on my Mandrake 8.0/Cooker system. I find that I cannot use the default menu editor to do anything useful with my menus if I get to it via the panel by either right-clicking the panel and selecting the panel menu - menu editor or if I do it via the kmenu button. I get the menudrake app that doesn't do anything useful. By this, I mean that the menu list it produces indicates something like lyx existing in the kstart menu - office list but in reality, it doesn't exist. Trying to (re)add it via the menudrake app, as root or user, seems to work but when I go back to the kstart menu-office list, it never shows up. Not after a reboot, not after a logout-login cycle. Nothing makes the kstart menu lists necessarily match what menudrake (kstart - configure panel - menu editor...) shows. On the other hand, if I start kmenuedit (by necessity from a CLI since it isn't listed in the kstart menu or submenus), it displays all the correct and existent apps listed in the kmenus and any changes I make, as root or user, subsequently show up as they should. The panel's menu editor displays things that sometimes aren't really there and adding/changing anything in the editor does NOTHING inspite of giving all indications that it is doing something worthwhile while the kmenuedit app does exactly what it is supposed to do. Why not dump menudrake or make kmenuedit the DEFAULT kde menu editor? This retarded behavior has existed for me on pre kde 2.2 installs too...from clean installs/reinstalls to upgrades. Nothing makes the menu editor function as it should. Any ideas? Why would the default KDE menu editor be a broken/nonfunctioning app instead of the VERY nice and working kmenuedit? The name menudrake indicates that it is something specific to mandrake rather than something that KDE wants. Perhaps menudrake works in Gnome or some other environment but I have not found it to work for quite a while, for several iterations of KDE, within the KDE environment. No error messages ever. It just does't do anything useful, apparently. praedor You have been on the expert list for a while and somehow you missed that we have integrated menus and that Kmenuedit doesn't work? Use menudrake and only menudrake. Use it from the mandrake control center. Do yourself a favor and use menudrake to take KMenuedit OFF your menu. Debian, Connective and We all use this integrated menu system so BB users can run GNOME and KDE apps and can switch to E and see the SAME menu,and get it again in Windowmaker. Now as far as menudrake doing nothing useful--the one off the menu edits for your user ONLY, while the one on control center can do that or can do system-wide or for a specific windowmanager (some things run only in KDE, for example) or edit root's menu as well. Once you have edited the menu, it does not appear in the menu box until you do what you have to do for a StarOffice installation: that is, restart the windowmanager by logging out and back in. menudrake is quite useful, and I am sorry to report that your complaint was poorly researched.

It is KDE 2.1.1 and I am not sure whether kwrited or kdeinit starts it but it is visible when one does a w on a terminal from kde (not from other window managers). It was apparently an error monitor transmission to xsession-errors and a temporary measure by one of our KDE team without telling the others because the team leader is unaware of what it is for. I think it may have been a dodge to get Mandrake Control Center to open without crashing and without using a Terminal (another legacy from the broken default theme from Nautilus/Eazel since our MCC was using GTK+ widgets).

Re: [expert] Netscape/Mozilla crash under reiserfs LM 8.0
I just found it's the ~/.netscape problem. When I removed it, everything solved, :-) Really don't know why it can lock my machine, though. I did change my machine name between notebook.localdomain, notebook etc. several times, because the dchpcd -h hostname seems unable to obtain a hostname for my notebook from the router, and I don't know how to set up otherwise. Can this be the problem ? Thanks for your answer, I almost wanted to reformat the root partition into ext2 earlier.

[expert] Increasing speed of app startup
There is a thread on the kde-linux mailing list about a kde-developer who came up with a very simple means of gaining between 30-50% decrease in startup times for kde and its various apps by prelinking object files in a build. The actual link to the messages describing it is: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-develm=99618500904021w=2 I downloaded the attached file and built it and plan to run it against a few apps during a build process. I am not certain, not being a coder, how one might apply this to a source rpm build. Could someone explain how this simple process/code might be added to the makefiles of source rpms so that the final binary rpm can enjoy the large speed increase? I would like to build all of kde 2.2, qt2, and a number of other apps in a way to take advantage of this simple trick but am not sure how to do it. praedor Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Mandrake 7.2 / KDE 2.2 / Opera 5
Just a note to those trying out KDE 2.2 under Mandrake 7.2: I downloaded KDE 2.2 for Mandrake 7.2. It requires new packages such as libsane1, libpng2, which I backported from the Mandrake 8.0 SRPMS. After satisfying the new dependencies, KDE 2.2 upgraded from 2.1.1 with no problems ( some of the development packages have had static libs separated out ). However the libpng2 dependency caused Opera 5 and other utils like xli, xv, GIMP to break on PNG images. So I reinstalled the libpng-1.0.8 package and moved the libpng-1.0.12 shared libs into another directory, ran ldconfig, and Opera and the other apps seem happy. I haven't tried testing the SANE dependent packages yet but if there are similar problems I assume the same kind of fix should work. -- C.

I've found everything for doing the upgrade to KDE 2.2 (had to d/l from ftp.kde.org).
