Sound

I used to have kaudio. I upgraded to whatever went into testing (2.2.1?) and now I have no sound. Technically, I have sound, but I have nothing KDE-ish to control it with. No thing in the menu and nothing to select from the packages. According the dselect, I already have kaudio installed -- but

Kweather Kicker

According to the Kicker Docs, if I right click, I should be able to remove this icon. I can't -- there's no menu option for it and now I can't get rid of it. And...It doesn't work as advertised. I would like it to, but I can't seem to find anything in syslog or .xsession-errors to give me a

What is this? When ever I check 'top' this thing is cranking away like crazy. Especially when I first resume my notebook. What is it? What does it do? Why do I care?

kde - power savings

This might sound strange, but some very limited experiments here show My hard drive is set up to park after 60 seconds of use. It does that just fine. It seems at the moment that as soon as I change the focus from one window to the next, the hard drive spins up and then parks after another

This question may offend some, but I just have to ask it. Background: While advocating the virtues of Linux to my wife, I convinced her to start her term paper on AbiWord (about 2 years ago). By the third page of her paper, everything crashed in AbiWord and it was simply incapable of typing

window size

I have a window setting of 1152 x 864. At least that's what XF86Config-4 says. Everything that I open in KDE seems to fill up about 80% of the screen. An 80x24 term window is 50% height and 75% width with a font setting of 'tiny'. This seems a little larger than it should be. I'm running

transparent terms

Where can I get these totally cool transparent term windows? Is there a simple one out there some place?

themes

I'm confused. When I download a theme from kde.classic.themes.org it stores it as a tar in /tmp. But I can't untar it or anything else useful with it. It was trying to run 'ark' every download, but that was failing like crazy (and I didn't know I even had it in here.). So I removed ark ( no

kde2 sound problem

I found something useful on my sound problem on KDE. I opened an xterm and typed kde2 -h to see what my options are ... well kde started again. But it threw an interesting error: device /dev/dsp can't be opened (Permission denied). but the ls -l shows the permissions to be lrwxrwxrwx bleah!
