[gentoo-user] kstart and gkrellm2
Another KDE 3.2 question... under the 3.[01] series, I was able to do kstart --alldesktops --skiptaskbar gkrellm To get gkrellm started on all desktops. I tried to use some of the SuperKaramba themes with 3.2, but have not enjoyed anything as much as I enjoy gkrellm. However, while kstart still starts an instance of gkrellm, I cannot get it to appear on all desktops. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. -- Stand Fast, tjg.

Hi all. I just recently started using Evolution and am quite enjoying it. However, When I first started using it I was using Keramik and after merging Geramik Evolution picked up on that. Now, I'm using Plastik, but I cannot get Evolution to not use Geramik as it's style. I've deleted all the .gnome and .gtk files and directories, and played around in gnome-control-center, but can't for the life of me change the way Evolution looks. On a somewhat related issue, I used kdm-config to change the look of kdm to Plastik, but it still insists it wants to look like Keramik.

[gentoo-user] Thinkpad and tpctl
Wow, two questions in approximately two minutes I'm running Gentoo 1.4rc3 on a Thinkpad R31, so I decided to try and build the special Thinkpad support tools. I emerged thinkpad completely successfully, but when I try and emerge tpctl I get the following... cc -Wall -Wcast-align -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-uninitialized -O2 -L../lib -I../include -DLINUX -o tpctl.o -c tpctl.c gcc -Wall -Wcast-align -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-uninitialized -O2 -L../lib -I../include -DLINUX -o tpctl tpctl.o -lncurses -lsmapidev tpctl.o(.text+0x24): In function `ioctl_thinkpad': : undefined reference to `errno' tpctl.o(.text+0x65): In function `ioctl_superio': : undefined reference to `errno' tpctl.o(.text+0xa5): In function `ioctl_rtcmosram': : undefined reference to `errno' tpctl.o(.text+0xe8): In function `ioctl_thinkpadpm': : undefined reference to `errno' tpctl.o(.text+0x7cc2): In function `main': : undefined reference to `errno' tpctl.o(.text+0x7d17): more undefined references to `errno' follow collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [tpctl] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/tpctl-4.2/work/tpctl-4.2/tpctl' !!!

Re: [gentoo-user] I finally have sound!....but now stop the madness.
Control Center-Sound Multimedia-System Notifications Then change the drop down at the top to read The KDE Window Manager You should see all your sounds. On Friday 14 March 2003 07:29 pm, Brett I.

I've used Mandrake for a few years, so am familiar with basic file editing, compiling useing tar.gz, configure, make, install etc, so I've some basic skills.

Maybe try running /sbin/depscan.sh before rc-update ??

Maybe it is use. But can you explain why wlan instead pcmcia? pcmcia
works fine for me?
use doesn't seem to work either, and I use wlan-ng instead of pcmcia cause 1)
It's not a pcmcia card. It's a built-in mini-PCI Prism2. and 2) because I
can't stand the orinoco drivers, and they don't work well for me.
I'd love to find a way to automatically detect which network I'm in
proximity to and automatically configure for that network at startup. If
anyone has any suggestions they would be gladly accepted.
I thought the default setting in wlan-conf is SSID_wlan0=, which means
any network in the range. I am using my wireless card in my home and at
school, no need to configure another wlancfg- file. Of course, unless
you want to access specific AP.
I certainly wish that were the case, the SSID_wlan0 setting only tells the
system which wlancfg-XX file to use.
I can't figure out a way to determine SSID before starting the network. Heck
I'd be content with determining the MAC address of base-station before
bringing up the interface.

[gentoo-user] KOrganizer and Session startup...
Howdy, I've started using and enjoying KOrganizer, however, it appears to exhibit somewhat strange behaviour when started via a saved session. I can start KOrganizer from the task bar with no problem. It starts on it's assigned desktop and loads the default organzier file. If I save my session with KOrganizer open, and re-login, KOrganizer starts on the correct desktop, but it doesn't load the correct file, it doesn't load any file. This is a bit frustrating. Does anyone know how to get KOrganizer to start from a session with the default file loaded? Thanks. -- Stand Fast, tjg. Timothy Grant www.craigelachie.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

My colleague who also runs gentoo 1.4 on his work system experienced the same. Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I lost my AA'd fonts in KDE 3.1 as well. Why they removed xfree 4.2.99.3 from portage before knowing for sure this one works I don't know. The same thing was done with the ntpd ebuild. Just removed the one that worked, and forced the newer bug one on us. Now the only option is to fix this ourselves, wait for a fix, or roll all the way back to 4.2.1. I don't see the logic in this? When I first upgraded to the first KDE 3.1 rc, I lost all my AA fonts in KDE, but they continued to work just fine in Gnome. I was never able to resolve the issue. However, after upgrading X, and upgrading to the released version of KDE I now have all my AA fonts back. Seems to be the reverse of what I'm seeing here. -- Stand Fast, tjg.
