Re: OpenOffice in KMenu??

2002-09-24 Thread Bruce Best (CRO)
I think it was just a matter of changing the line from "testing" to "unstable" in my /etc/apt/sources.list, i.e., deb http://ftp.openoffice.tuxfamily.org/openoffice unstable main contrib (or the appropriate mirror as listed in http://www.linux-debian.de/openoffice/mirrors.html) then apt-get up

"Inconsistency detected by ld.so" error running KDE apps?

2002-08-21 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
I posted this problem to debian-users and the debian-x lists earlier, but got no responses, other than "I don't think this has anything to do with XFree86" from Branden Robinson. I haven't got any clues elsewhere, so thought I should try the KDE list again. I am running Debian testing/sid, with X

koncd?

2002-08-09 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
I think this has been asked before, but I don't think I saw a response. Why is Koncd, now an official part of KDE3, not in the experimental KDE3 debs?? Are there some specific dependencies missing?? On the same note, has anyone managed to install Koncd on Debian?? I haven't had a go at it yet, bu

Konqueror fonts invisible?

2002-06-18 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
I'm not sure what the cause of this problem is (or what part, if any, KDE may play in it), but as I am running the current KDE 3.01 debs, I thought that someone here might have the same experience. The behaviour below occurs on two different systems, both running Debian Woody/Sid. I have whatever

Re: Printer works fine now, but not with non-kde apps?

2001-11-13 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
apt-get install cupsys-bsd is what you want. From what I understand, this package essentially points any print job made to lp/lpr to cups. Also, sounds like you've already got it, but for if "cups" doesn't show up as an option when installing a printer in the "KDE Control Centre, System, Printin

Laptop Power Control modules not showing up

2001-05-10 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
I have KDE 2.1.1 from kde.debian.net running on Debian Potato 2.2r3 w. kernel 2.4.4, XFree 4.02, on a P!!!-600 HP OmniBook 500 laptop w. 128MB RAM. Works great, except that there are no laptop power control options in KControl. I have enabled APM in the bios and in the kernel (as a module), the mod

Re: KDE upgrade from potato to Woody

2001-05-07 Thread Bruce Best \(CRO\)
Note that "woody" and "unstable" are not the same thing. Use "testing" if you want woody. If you change "stable" to "unstable", you will be upgrading to sid. Currently, stable = potato testing = woody unstable= sid Both woody and sid have KDE and X, though different versions. sid cur

Re:Long application startup time

I have a virtually identical setup; AMD K6-2 450, 192 MB RAM, IDE hard disks, /home via NFS over 10baseT network, KDE 2.1.1-3 from Debian/SID, on a (mostly) Debian testing machine, with kernel 2.4.3. I do have similar times in launching applications, though I haven't actually looked very hard to s
