KDE Newbie Questions

I did notice that kde-3.5 has an explicit option to do that. I don´t know which external dependancies are, if it even depends on anything else. But, it at least signals that KDE is dealing in a higher level with this. If it does not embed its own monitoring (it´s not the Unix philosophy), it must be smart enough to deal with, at least, one monitoring scheme. I don´t know if being hotplug installed is enough to KDE make it work. I will guess so.

RE: downloading 3.5 binary

It would be nice if it was that simple. I guess apt hopes to see a file names "pkglist", just listing the contents of its rpms. this must be in the same directory of your new install location (I think it is the same as "hdlist" in my Mandriva). This file must exist in an apt-ready locations, and kde mirrors seem not to be among them. I suggest you, again, trying to download the main packages and manually installing it. If it gives you lots of dependancy errors, try (to find) the easy way, again....

RE: downloading 3.5 binary

I'm not quite sure of what i am saying, so I will antecipatedly apologize for any insane thing. It's been a very long since my last experience with Conectiva Linux, that was armed with Synaptic (www.howtoforge.com/apt_for_rpm) In some distant plays with Redhat, I remember to have installed apt, also. There is, undoubtly apt4rpm. I heard about "Yum", but I don't know what is it. If you have apt in your Suse, an rpm based distro, it must know how to talk to your rpm database. The challenge now is ...

RE: Corupted panel menu

Simple way: delete your menu settings in the home directory, so that relogging would automatically fix it. You can find it in your ~/.kde/share/applnk (old) or in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (usually ~/.menu). Another simple (even not so) way: copy your menu settings from root, remembering to chown them. One more way: run your distro menu tool to rebuild it. Each distro has its own way to do it (irritatingly). Yet another way: kbuildsyscoca. that seems quite simple. http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdeba...

RE: KDE 3.4 Konsruct error

Do you have kernel-headers or kernel-source installed? I am not sure, but i think that IFF_UP and company are defined somewhere in net/ includes in the kernel source. Try to grep it in /usr/src/include or /usr/include.

RE: Can I make mouse/kbd input pass ~through~ a window?

I guess you will not be able to do it codelessly. What I understood from what you said would lead to a "message forwarding", as the on-top window will always have the focus. It must have to pick each message sent to it and forward to its back. No easy answer, nope. Your idea seems as original as odd. You could try to post it at kde-apps. I´m sure someone else would appreciate it.

RE: mouse behaviour

Change the acceleration ratio. Its as simple as opening kcontrol -> peripheral -> mouse.

RE: downloading 3.5 binary

It can be somewhat correct. Depending on your needs, you´ll need to donwload a lot of packages. Locales are not all obligatory. Some items ara also optional, but if you have one of it installed, dependancies may lead to dozens of updates to run (not only the ones listed!). You may start by downloading the basic packages (kdebase, kdelibs, arts, qt, depending on the version you have) and watching to the dependancies it complains for upgrading. I don´t know much about Suse, but is there no apt-lik...

Session Management Problem?

It seems that the iii and most unbelievable choice is the really one. Is there any non-standard services running at startup? Did you try to grep your old configurations? I mean grep your old IP in the /etc to see if any redhat tool is also storing this data for a possible recovering after reboot or something like. If your computer replaces your old configuration, it must be somewhere, don´t you agree? If you try to change your configurations using RH tools, the reboot problem does not happen, ri...

RE: Konstruct does not find qt libs and headers

Quick answer: Empty your kdebase dir (make clean, make distclean or simply delete the work and cookies directories). Try again. It can be due to you Qt, but it is not what the error message suggests. Slow answer: Is there a "configure" in kdebase/work/kdebase-3.5.0 ? It has execution rights? I noticed that kdesvn-build inserted some escape characters in the beginning of my scripts (to make it nicely colourfull, i think) that ended in similar errors (not exactly. I can't remember what it seemed t...

Session Management Problem?

I can guess no much from your problem without further details. The possibilities I see are: i. You are not effectively writing your files to disk (wrong permissions?). ii. You are writing, but in the wrong place. iii. There is a new and revolutionary safety mechanism in Fedora for system stability assurance, shamefully plagiarizated from Rwindows XP that backs up your configurations and puts them back to its places when restarting... Mourning. Please tell us somthings like: It happens when using...

RE: Konstruct does not find qt libs and headers

It is probably a PATH matter. Where is your new and old QT installation? Where QTDIR points to? A good idea is to remove the old QT libraries. Grep your configuration files (/etc/* ~/*) for the QTDIR variable. It MUST point to your new QT. I´ve once had a problem for uic being the old version even after building the new QT. I guess make install became shy on overwiting the old files. So, be assure to have the new ones (ls -l `which uic`, for example).

RE: KDE Newbie Questions

1. I don´t know much about Debian, but what I think to work is to place your icon folder in the same place as the others (like "/usr/share/apps/icons" or wherever i lives in a Debian system). If it does not suffice to allow you to choose your new icons from kcontrol, use the brute force symlinking your folder to the "Default" one. 2. Deeper information would be glad. For while, why do you have so many cpp packages instaled? It may be some kind of conflict. Is there any "cpp1plus" in your compute...

KDE 3.5-rc1 installing problem

I unfortunately searched in this forum for problems like mine. As I could not see any of my complains, I guess it to be time to post them myself. Motivation ) As anyone, I want to taste KDE 3.5 sooner as possible. Environment ) I have a modest Semprom 2200, 1GB ram, 60 GB hd, Mandriva 2006 rc2 with no much modifications. Conduct ) First I tried "konstruct", then I tried "kdesvn-build" and, finally, tried Thac´s RPMS. Several ways each, course. None gave them aimed results. Trouble ) i- Konstruct...
