Anyone know why Quanta Plus is adding an extra line between lines each time I open it? For example, the first time I write my code looks like this: <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> Then if I open it up again, it looks like: <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>blahblahblah</morecodehere> <somecode her>b...

After 8 hours of frantic sleuthing, I discovered that X was looking at xorg.conf for the location of the fonts, and lo and behold, when I looked there, the only font listed was the new faulty one. So I renamed the .dir and .scale files, moved the font to a different location (essentially emptied that directory), restarted xfs, and it worked. Whew.

I am totally up the creek on this one, not sure why, but I know what I did: I installed a font (unzipped from .lzh format) by using the KDE Control Panel's "Font Installer" in both the user and administrator mode. I selected the font, clicked "okay," and thought all would be fine. Unfortunately, whether due to a problem with the font or a problem with the KDE font installer, it has borked all attempts to start X. I'm stuck in a terminal, with a "failed to load default font: fixed" error. I don't...

I have always used Kmail with Scim-anthy to enter Japanese into emails. I'm using FC8 (Qt: 3.3.8, KDE: 3.5.8-19.fc8 Fedora, KMail: 1.9.6, Scim 1.4.7) and have noticed that after hitting the <Enter> or <Backspace> keys everything goes haywire. It seems to be repeating characters. I have to close Scim with <Ctrl-Space> and restart it again for things to be normal. This problem appears in Konqueror and Kmail, but not in other apps like Skype or Firefox, so I am suspecting a problem with KDE. Anyone...

I hope someone out there can give me a short walkthrough of what's needed to properly import Kmail and Kontact info from one system to another. On the old system I am running: Qt: 3.3.7 KDE: 3.5.6-4.fc5 KMail: 1.9.6 And I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 530 and have FC8 on it. The new details are: Qt: 3.3.8 KDE: 3.5.8-7.fc8 Fedora KMail: 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20071204.744707) I have tried a few things which haven't worked, primarily (I think) because I don't know which folder I need to point the I...

Okay, at this point I've tried just about everything. The "Import" tool doesn't work -- or perhaps I'm pointing it to the wrong Kmail folder. I've tried copying the .kde/share/apps/kmail file and using that. I've tried suggestions from another forum, but they didn't work either. Surely someone out there uses Kmail, no? Am I a dying breed? I'm hoping to migrate all my info so that Kontact will work without my having to create new Identities again, recreate the folders, and manually insert the mai...

I have a new computer with FC8 on it, installed from the KDE Live CD. I want to know the best way to migrate my Kontact data (Kmail folders, filters, addresses, emails, and calendars) from the FC5 system to the new FC8 one. I'm hoping there's a way to import everything in a simple manner...I can connect the two systems with ssh or scp. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm worried that if I just copy the .kde/share/apps/Kmail files it will get corrupted or won't work right. A...

I need to somehow reset whatever startup script happens to initialize the peripherals as a User logs in...all my other users are fine, but for one user, the keyboard doesn't work. If I log in as that user in Gnome, all is fine. Just when I choose a KDE session. The mouse works fine...I just can't type anything. If numlock is on, it stays on throughout the session until I logout. I think the simplest solution will just be to reset to the defaults whatever initializing gets done. I am using FC5, r...

I am using my msn passport account with (login@hotmail.com) and have one of two recurring problems: 1. It says that the password is wrong when it clearly isn't. I have checked caps, I have typed it several times, I have logged in using it just fine...but it says the password is wrong. 2. If I change the defaults from default (messenger.hotmail.com) to "messenger.msn.com" the little butterfly icon tries for about 5 minutes, then gives me an "operation not permitted " which is a little too vague f...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm positive that there were some options for printing a week or month in different formats. Ideally, I'd like to print a week or month in a format that will be compatible with a Day Runner organizer...allowing me to cut a US Letter-sized page in half and have two 8.5x5.5 inch pages which can be hole-punched and added to this 3-ring binder. I was playing around with this about 6 months ago and thought there were some options to get output in different organi...
