I love KDE 3..5.7 and while I'm a Windows developer (as my day-to-day profession), I choose to run Slax-6/KDE every day, to gradually become a power-KDE user. I have one beef w/ KDE/Konqueror, which I hope improves w/ the new system: more "uniform" URL support inside Konqueror. As Konqueror becomes more mature, it's my near-and-medium term hope that this tech will help migrate some Windows users twds KDE/Linux. For example, I've customized my KDE config so that I have two extra tabs on the Konqu...

Quoted Originally posted by Rinse Dunno where mediamanager.rc file is saved, but every user file as an equivalent systemfile. So it's not only something you can configure per-user. Source code 1 2 grep -Hre "WINXP_NTFS" . ./.kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc:/org/kde/mediamanager/fstab/devhda1mnthda1=WINXP_NTFS Yhat's the result of me renaming hda1 and a GREP to reveal the change. So, it's your assertion that ~/.kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc has a corresponding /opt/kde/share/config/mediamanage...

This particular search is very frustrating. I'd like to make the icons in the media:/ node of Konqueror's File Mgr display the partition volume labels by default. I've posed the query to GOOGLE every way I can imagine, but no joy. I've looked in the KDE User Guide, but the KUG is very slim on details about hacking KDE. I did find a single answer (via GOOGLE), in which it was suggested that one could customize indiv partition/media labels via the mediamanager.rc file, but that's a per-user soluti...

Solved with a recompile of the kernel and disabling the NTFS kernel driver. Later....Jet

Quoted Originally posted by Rinse That is correct, most books about kde are actually books about some Linux distribution using KDE as desktop. Yes, I've always noticed that, which pretty much ignores the development side of things. Just started tinkering w/ KDE to try and fix something and was (pleasantly) shocked to find something like KDCOP built-in. Am downloading the new KDEVELOP rite away....

I did a search on Amazon for KDE books. While KDE showed up in a couple dozen pages of search results, very few were tech books. I think there were only one or two actual KDE-specific books. Is that true ? The sole book I saw on KDE development was from 2002 ? Is that it ?

Quoted Originally posted by Rinse did you disable the generic ntfs driver to prevent it from loading into the kernel? No I did not. If you could share the instuctions, I'd appreciate. So far, variations of searches on "disable kernel driver" have come up w/ nothing relevant....

This weekend, I built new modules for FUSE 2.61 and NTFS-3g-20070118 for Slax. They work, but there's a wrinkle. I can't mount NTFS partitions as R/W from KDE's KONQUEROR. KONQUEROR's mount helper seems to skip past /etc/fstab and apparently uses the obsolete NTFS R/O kernel support (yes, I explicitly built the FUSE kernel module). When I mount w/ the MOUNT cmd, this is what goes into the System log: Source code 1 2 3 Jan 23 14:59:02 (none) ntfs-3g[26192]: Version 0.20070118-BETA Jan 23 14:59:02...
