@ bones Quoted First, I'm working on a Laptop here which is supercharged with all the monitoring, firewall'ing and anti-spy, anti-virus SW available out there - even so the "advise" I got from yet another Linux zealot like you was that only "Windoze users like myself" would be so concerned about viruses and spy-ware, as such just wouldn't really exist on Linux. Don't you worry, if sufficient number of people like you runs Linux then there will be malware/viruses for Linux. BTW, imagine there is ...
Quoted Finally, it was not me who designed Linux in a way that one has to be root for every single system administration/configuration change or program install. Dear readers. Here you see how a person - probably proficient in Windows - is missing an essential part of his computer education, even literacy, I'd say. No user of a computer should have more rights than needed to do his/her work. Period. Should one need to use a particular hardware device (say: scanner) - this user is to be added to...
bmfan On these forums on the internet one usually gets what he/she is asking for. He was given a gentle remainder there is a problem with his attitude and he went ballistic. Indeed, he is having transition problems best described here: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm , #3 in particular but the rest also applies. Nobody should underestimate security problems. Do you know an estimated 40% of desktops are hijacked by criminals and used for spamming, break-in and DoS attacks? If you run a fina...
Quoted Heck, most of my time at work is spend working as "root" and then I'm supposed to be "verboten" root status on my very own system?? How comes every Windows user feels the need to "work as root". And Linux users, incl most experienced ones don't? Sure, there are times when one has to log in as root to manage the system - using console or terminal and CLI. But there is never need to work as root. Quoted And I think I already forgot more about (real) Unix usage than some script kiddy like y...
Hehee. You admit you do not know the dangers and you still want to run X as root. Oh, man. How stupid can a person be? This is posted not for you, bones. Your IQ denies you to understand it. For everybody else, there are very good reasons why we do not run as root in the POSIX world. It presents dangers to your system and others.

Running X server as root is the most silliest thing a computer user can do. Everybody agrees it's absolutely not necessary. Try to become a Linux noob - i. e. someone who knows rules and tries to follow them, stop being a Windows user who has got his hands on Linux.
Hey, double posting is not nice. Put 'exec startkde' into your .xinitrc. If this file does not exist in your home directory just type: echo 'exec startkde' > .xinitrc and tap Enter.
Running on Gentoo. The KDE is split to allegedly 330+ different packages. I say allegedly because I'm unable to find even a list of these packages, let alone descriptions.
I started installin g KDE with kdebase-startkde package. This did not include even konqueror which I added separately. Definitely there is no "keyboard layout" in "regional and accessibility", so I obviously do not have it installed. The seckret package(s) statement stands.
Do you mean KDE Control Center by that kcontrol? I do not have keyboard configuration there. Probably it's not installed, another secret package not listed anywhere?
Quoted There is no need for users to find them. If they install kde-software, the smaller packages will be installed as wel. E.g. if you install konqueror webbrowser, you get nsplugins and some other packages as well. nsplugins is not a stand-alone application, so there is no use for it without konqueror... Well, I installed Konqueror. And had hard time finding out I have to install nsplugins too in order to get flash and friends working. Are we talking about same thing here?
Thanks for reply. Could you please be a little more specific please? I'm a very new KDE user and all I know about DCOP is it's not a D-shaped cop.
Stopping xdm/kdm brings it down but wont save the session.
I'm a new KDE user. (To be precise I tried it when latest was something like 0.9-beta - very buggy.) I seriously dislike bloated software, now the KDE is split into pieces and this sparked my interest. However, too many useful packages are not documented. Actually, they are even not listed anywhere. It took some really heavy Googling (and swearing) to find out there are packages like kmilo, nsplugins, konq-plugins etc. Why these (and very likely other useful packages) are hidden? How users are e...
Try upgrading your compiler.

Well, it's time to answer my question. First, I created my own xmodmap. Source code 1 xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.conf Then I used xev utility to learn keycodes which I defined in that xmodmap.conf. Source code 1 2 3 4 5 ... keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 175 = keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume ... I became root and copied that file over to /etc I edited /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/Xsession and added a line right after shebang: Source code 1 /usr/bin/xmodmap /etc/xmodmap.conf Now my cu...
Hello everybody. After some search in these forums and Google I'm still in dark. What is currently the preferred way to get these volume keys working? I've found numerous tutorials - I sure can follow one of them but isn't there a "KDE way" to do it? I installed khotkeys but cannot see where to configure it
