Re: [expert] KDE 3.1.4?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Gad! I haven't even tried building kde since about 2.x days. WAY too big. I remember when the kernel took longer (or about the same amount of time) as it took to build KDE. In any case, texstar should have version 3.1.4 though I can't say for sure whether it would be for 9.2 rather than 9.1. If the 9.1 rpms will work there isn't really a reason for worrying about a 9.2 rpm especially since there isn't really that much difference between the two.

[expert] KDE copy and paste not working properly in 9.2?
Hi, has anyone else had some problems in KDE apps with copy and paste? I'm noticing some strange errors, e.g. copy a full screen of text, and paste in another window in the same application, and getting text from a privious copy / cut. It seems to work when only a small amount of text is copied. Cut seemingly works without problems. Damon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

It should be set at 25 items in history (the max), and the save contents on exit unchecked. At least that's the way I like it. I've had c/p stop working when klipper became full- when I cleared the history, all was well. Klipper is where your copied items are stored in a buffer, to be pasted later. If the buffer is full, you can't copy anything else to it. I'd like to know how to get the 25 item limit increased. (OK- just found it- /home/ wrc/.kde3.1/share/config/klipperrc). However, your copy/paste problem might be something else. Robert Crawford Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hi Robert, I didn't know about klipper (I use Gnome), so thanks for the hint.

I've little experience with Gnome, and have been on Gentoo for 3 months, waiting for MDK9.2 to get it together. But I do know Mandrake and KDE very well. Are you using 9.1? Was there always this problem, or did it suddenly occur? What's the Gnome equivalent to kde klipper? Does c/p failure occur when using another window manager? If so, what I would try with an RPM distro, is remove Gnome while in init 3 or another environment like kde, reboot to init 3 or kde, and then reinstall Gnome. With kde, when you do stuff like that, you always rename your ~/.kde folder first to kde.old, so you can replace your mail, and konqueror settings. However, investigate everything else first, before taking that drastic step. We need a Gnome expert to chime in here about the c/p problem! Two other tips for non-command line experts linux types who run into serious problems (myself included): 1. If drive room permits, always install kde AND Gnome, so you can repair and investigate things easier with a GUI. 2. Get a Knoppix cd, and learn how to use it as a rescue boot disk, with it's kde environment. I did my Gentoo install with this, and have bailed out of several seeming impossible situtations for a command line amateur!

I think Greg is correct, if it's in different windows. I'm a kde man, but in various circumstances, either online or off in file manager or kde browser, sometimes c/p works with right click c/p, and not with middle click, or vice versa. Usually I just clear klipper, and that fixes it. Or maybe I'm mistaken. I've just edited klipperrc to hold 50 items, so I'll find out if that delays the problem.

Now the configuration, installation is the same as before but now KDE is starting up too slow. Please help me to find out the reason. Slow startup of the window manager (be it Gnome, KDE or something else) is usually caused by a network misconfiguration such as a bad hosts file, incorrect /etc/resolv.conf settings, or a bad route.

KDE 3.0 start up is too slow, but before, it was not!! I was looking for the reason(s). I did not change any configuration of my system and did not change the partition table of my HDD. I mean that the total system is same as all those cases that I've had before. First of all, I though that it was because of lack of swap space(linux swap partition). but why I had not this problem before with the same size of swap space that I have? anyway, I've increased the swap space, but the problem is still remain! Then I though that it may has a problem durring installation( I always install mdk in expert mode) .I repeated the installation several times durring two last days, but the problem is still remain. Now the configuration, installation is the same as before but now KDE is starting up too slow. Please help me to find out the reason.

[expert] kde 3.1.2 clock issue
Has anyone experienced clock problems? It's been OK up until now. I don't know when it started, but all of a sudden my KDE clock was off. I thought something was amiss in drakconf (system time) since I had recently run drakfloppy and drakboot to make sure my lilo and etc was all ready to go prior to installing 9.2 beta (I haven't yet installed). Attempting to change it produces haphazard results. My system time is all correct, PDT, clock set to GMT, 'date' or 'xclock' produces the correct time and date. However, kde's clock is reporting CDT now - and it's off. CDT is 2 hours ahead of here (Sunnyvale CA) not three, and three is what it's telling me (five shalt thou not count). Each time I attempt to set kde's idea of what time it is, the screen blanks for a bit, then goes back to normal, and the day chaanges. KDE thinks today is Saturday. It thought it was Monday before. I suspect kcmshell since that's invoked. But not sure. I haven't tried restarting kde. -- David E.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw
Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw So thought I'd try the MP3 to audio procedure. Opened a new audio project and drag 'n drop 19 MP3's and started the burn. I did uncheck I tried the same thing. Well I got error messages from k3b in that it couldn't decode the uudio. So I reverted to a 'mpg123' for decoding and sox to turn it into a wav -- procedure. I dragged and dropped the wav's to k3b and it bombed in the middle of burning the CD. And I couldn't get the CD to stop. I had a bunch of twilight zone audio mp3s to rip and so I went back to using cdrecord with a number of wav files method. I got it done - five cd's worth, and one or maybe two coasters. I'd probably expect less from k3b due to the fact that this is a fairly hodgepodge 9.0 piecemeal upgrade cooker. If or when I get to doing a reinstall with cooker/9.2 maybe it will work better. But not finding the mp3 converter has me puzzled. I have mpg123, lame, xine (mostly) and mencoder/mplayer installed. k3b setup only finds a few missing things, like emovix and normalize. Everything else is present. on the fly box so as to rip the mp3 to wave files before burning the audio disk. This procedure worked flawlessly. Conclusion: K3b Works... Larry -- David E.

I did uncheck That's pretty much a summary of what I want to do. From looking at the k3b prog it seems quite doable.

Now I just got a burner (Toshiba SD-1312) and there's a separate thread on selecting CD-RWs etc in expert going on. But, my standard 9.2 cooker refuses to boot, so I'm limping along with 9.0 installed to a spare partition right now... not sure if this will even make it to the list.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw
So maybe k3b runs differently under supermount guidance? I have used K3B under both supermount, and no supermount. It has worked fine. My only problems with K3B were when I was using different GUI burners: X-CD-Roast and the like. The config programs all attempt to access the burner in different ways. I stopped using them when I realied that K3B could do it all, more easily. I would rerun K3B setup, then: I would open k3b from console: $k3b, so that the error messages show in the console window. Then you should just use K3B like usual, until the error occurs. If one can't write audio tracks, I would attempt to write a wav file to the CD as audio to make sure the conversion from ogg is happening. try using lame --decode yourfile.ogg to generate the wav. Then try writing it using K3B, and check on the fly. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Tnx Rob,I put the $ in front thats why I got confused, nothing usefull , just the finding the device and max length. the it fails .. Bummer. That's a good way to see most programs work and fail. Have you run K3B Setup again? And make sure that *everything reinitializes? I also went the extra step of seeing that *all* the associated programs were found. I looked up which rpms were required for which programs, and then found the mandrake versions on the install CDs with urpmi. Comments on K3B setup: In the beginning, I had some problems with using the auto setting for the cdrdao driver. I was seeing an error message and now I am using the generic-mmc without a hitch, I have also checked supports burnfree' , CD/ RW drive and Supports DAO writing. Have you allowed yourself rights to use the CDRW? are you in the CDwriter group? Are the mount locations as you expect them? Are the devices as they should be? Is your CDRW drive hooked up properly?

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw
I've been doing a lot of trolling though sourceforge and looking at the k3b site, cdrdao, I see probs with k3b and mandrake 9.1, not seeing probs from suse or redhat users. there is a new release of k3b 0.9pre2 and also cdrecord which may do the trick. I'm trying to compile k3b but hitting problems as other mandrake users. Now that prob I've had before with German s/w writers who tend to use suse. All I can do is to keep hammering away at it. It seems luck of the draw with which cdrw is used and which distro. But that prog has a real future, its a windows killer :) So then for you, it may be time to toss K3B the way of the boneyard, and use X-CD-Roast which seems to have grown since I tried it in the pre K3B days. I recently found that I could not properly sync my Handspring visor with KPilot. I gave up and started syncing with JPilot just fine. I just need to wait for KPilot to grow up some more. Same deal with K3B. But K3B seems like bloatware to me, with a CD Ripper and player. IMHO, that part should be a seperate program. -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

Re: [expert] KDE K3b cdrw
Thanks for that info Torstein Thanks to all the others as well. I tried Arson and it failed with error 0 straight away, but the setup did point at the site for cdrdao which listed the drivers, so at least I know thw ARTEC drives seem to use generic-mmc-raw So tried Gcombust, that did'nt work, nor did gnometoaster. So went back and tried K3b again and... it said it started to burn at a reduced speed, then cdrdao failed error 1. I suspect cdrdao is a bit bust as its common to all, so its join the cdrdao forum and try to get answers there, if I get any I'll post them back here Richard On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 18:11, Torstein Dybdahl wrote: richard bown wrote: I edited out the previous post as it was getting long.

TIA richard bown [EMAIL PROTECTED] It works a treat for me Richard. I have never burnt an audio, but just tried it when I read your post. I love k3b and run it through root, and it really is the greatest little burning app I have ever used, compares very favourably to Nero. Have you checked your configuration? But I might be barking up the wrong tree. Do you mean trying to just get different tracks from different CD's and burn them onto another? I haven't tried that yet. But if that is what you mean I might just give it a larrup. I did have a problem burning a data CD that I wanted a copy of which it would not eject, and didn't eject, yet wanted the target CD inserted and I had to manually umount it through the shell, and the minute it was returned it burned the image. But that so far is the only glitch. That did not happen with the audio. It ejected and by just inserting an empty target and pushing in the tray it took over the burn process.

Just shows, if it's not totally broken, fix it some more ;-) Brian Isn't that unusual? XCDRoast was the burning application that I always used, and it worked well, but with Mandrake 9.1 thought that I would try k3b, why not? Invoked it, configured it, and was willing to burn a drink coaster with multi session, or maybe even a CD with only 20MB of data on it. That's what happened with several CD's the first time I tried XCDRoast with multi session in Red Hat about 12 months ago. So kept windows on for Nero just to burn multi session CD's till CDRTools came out with XCDRoast. But k3b, no sweat, first multi-session and everything worked a treat. I burned a whole CD in everything from 10MB to 200MB sessions on the CD after removing it, putting it back in etc.. Then burned 100MB multi-session on win with Nero and burned the rest with k3b. I was really chuffed. Read every file and graphic on the CD making certain that I wasn't being fooled. I wasn't. I am listening to the audio CD that I burned a little while ago just for the exercise for Richard, to make certain that it didn't make any errors there either, and it didn't. Great little app, quick and easy. The only fright I had was when I clicked on the wrong CD drive. That is one thing that k3b did, it placed the CD's in reverse order and added two lines to the end of my /etc/fstab, /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom2 autoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd/mnt/cdrom autoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 That might be because I don't use supermount though?

Well, late last week it did thaw enough to have a few updates. But that ended on Friday. Now the primary mirror has a mix match of hdlist*'s dated Fri., and synthesis.hdlist*'s dated 4/1. (April Fool's ? ;) When these situations have occurred with past cooker, it was usually one of two things. Either the cooker primary mirrors were unable to get updates from Mandrake's internal server (snafu), or they were being held on purpose. I suspect the latter reason this time.

[expert] KDE is taking forever to load - add client, destroying client????
Hello I had 8.2 running on my Sony laptop but I decided to upgrade to 9.1 (what a hell, 8.2 works fine and why not 9.1? So I thought). X server is taking forever to load. After 10 minutes I gave in and used shutdown the x server. Lots of adding clients and destroying clients showed up on the screen. What am I doing wrong?

[expert] KDE, being root, and crashing
My computer will freeze, requiring a reset whenever I do ANYTHING related to KDE root-type things. This includes logging into KDE as root (which I really don't do any way), using the File Manager - Super User Mode, where it brings up a konqueror window as root, editing stuff that is using the KDE libs as root (like changing the time of the clock in KDE, which requires root privelidges), and... well, you get the idea. Root and KDE simply don't get along, which is irritating because I can mess around with the Mandrake Control Center all day long without it crashing. This is because, of course, MCC uses GTK instead of any KDE libs. So what the hell is going on with my machine? Why does KDE hate root enough to lock up my entire system? ~ Joshua = You can't have bread and loaf. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
