Kubuntu will most likely be the first big one to adopt it. If you want bleeding edge, gentoo or arch linux would be your best bet, but those are quite different than kubuntu. I haven't much experience with the BSD's, so I can't comment on how quickly the packages will become available. Both Gentoo and arch have rapid release cycles. Arch usually has packages made up within 24 hours of release.
It looks like that KDE was not built with LDAP support. You can try another one that does. Suse does, and it is one of the nicest, most polished implementations I've seen.
I am not certain how Evolution handles its contacts, but based upon the dramatic differences, I can only assume that it loads contacts into some kind of database, rather than a solitary flat file. Flat files are notoriously slow for large data sources. I would drop a line to the developers, and see if they can switch the backend to sqlite or something. They may ask for your contact list, so you might want to think about scrubbing it. The problem with programmers is that we never have that many f...
None that I can find. I think that it has to do with the philosophy of KDE: Customize everything. If you were using a thin client type app, where the server was in another timezone, I can see the need to be able to set it, but it should default to environment TZ.
Did you set your timezone under Settings-> Configure Calendar -> Time and Date?
from the command prompt, type 'kdesu command'
Try moving that file, and C&P mine into a new /etc/pam.d/kdm, restart runlevel 5 (telinit 3, login as root, and telinit 5), and see if that fixes it. I am not very familiar with PAM, but mine should be secure enough for a login. The parts that I really don't understand are the pam_env.so, I think that if you looked at the common-* files, they would match up with mine pretty much. There might be something in your log files that will help you figure out what is going on. I believe that KDM does re...
These are kept in a VCF file, located under $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc. You are quite correct to be concerned with that many addresses in kaddressbook and performance. The VCF file is essentially a flat text file, and with 10,000 records in it, it would be huge. I would look at setting up a basic LDAP server to hold that many records. I'm not sure how nicely kaddressbook plays with LDAP. I know that there is LDAP integration, but it may be limited to 'look as you type', rather than the whole thi...
Quoted Originally posted by mogchr I tried getting help on the PC-BSD forums for this without luck. I would like to configure KMenu to have a search bar and a similar format, not icons or style, but format to that of SuSE. I like how it is formated, and I would rather have that for KMenu. I just do not know how to do this. Is there some way to format it like they did? SuSE's Kickoff menu is not a standard KDE widget. You have to patch your KDE to have that menu. Kickoff is open source, so it sh...
Gut reaction is to check the pam-kdm rules. Here's the content of mine: Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix.so auth required pam_nologin.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so session required pam_unix.so session required pam_limits.so Let us know if that matches yours. If that doesn't work, post the output of the env. You might not have the $KDE or $QT vars set.
That is absolute strange. You should have read access to /etc/inittab as a standard user. In fact, both those files should exist. The most drastic way to get kde back is to create a new user, or erase your home directory. That's the nice thing about linux. Erasing your user directory will essentially reset all user programs. You can rename your home directory and create a new one, that way you don't lose any old data. You can then copy directories and files back to reset your old programs.
Try turning off DRI in your Xorg conf. I've had this problem over and over with the open source ATI drivers, and this is the only thing that seemed to work.
Quoted Originally posted by perseo Hi all! I'm Kmail (v 1.9.7) user. I have several email accounts provided by same ISP, and POP server does not allow more than three concurrent connections from a host, so, fetching new mail on startup (or checking mail) in Kmail tries to open a connection for each email account at the same time, getting a connection refused error when POP connection limit is reached. I was unable to change this behavior from settings, so if somebody knows how to limit the numb...
Don't worry too much about it. I will give it a shot on a non-production server this week.
Okay, let's start with the simple. Which version of linux are you using? Next, open a terminal, and type: Source code 1 cat $HOME/.xinitrc and paste your output here. Finally, from the terminal, type: Source code 1 cat /etc/inittab | grep dm and paste your output here. We should be able to figure out what is going on. Basically, when the pc boots, it goes through various runlevels, as described in the /etc/inittab file. The computer goes through each run level until it is told to stop. Run level...
How do you start X? Do you start it from the command line, or do you boot into a graphical logon. If you boot to a graphical logon, do you use KDM, GDM, or XDM? Can you post the contents of the .xinitrc file in your home directory?
Wow, thanks for the quick reply! Now, just for my records, does the immutable bit prevent the users from changing the default under the control center? The immutable bit seems to be handled differently by different programs. Kmail, for instance, allows the user to change account settings after the immutable bit is set, but will revert them on the next login. I haven't tried setting this under the global kde settings, but under the user settings, it allows the user to change it.
Quoted Originally posted by koniczynek Is there a way to configure date format for all users using the system? I am setting up a corporate workstation and there are guidelines that main language for the interface must be english but the date should be displayed in european format (eg. 24h clock, YYYY-MM-DD). Is there a way to set this up globally? I am using Fedora 7 with the latest KDE available for this distribution. In the ./share/config/kdeglobals file, you can set the option there. You wil...
I am looking into automatically setting up and locking down Kontact for all users. I have created a kmailrc in the /etc/skel directories, and set immutable bits on the account settings, set default accounts up, and tested it, but kmail apparently only respects the immutable bit on startup. I can't find any way to prevent adding new accounts, modifying existing accounts, etc. Does anyone know if there is a way, aside from making the file read-only and causing no end of trouble for any of the addi...
