KDE says no soundcard was detected

I am encountering the same problem. Mine is an on board i810 audio which has no problem playing under XP and another version of KDE but I installed a new debian woody system with KDE 3.1.2 and it also said there is no soundcard info, even though I have loaded all the necessary driver.

But I can run it fine from within Mozilla 1.3, strange isn't it ? thanks for taking the time and effort to test it out.

konqueror and java, does it really work ?

thanks, that is exactly what I got in both jre1.3(blackdown) and 1.4(javasoft). Seems to be a bug as I initially guess.

konqueror and java, does it really work ?

thanks. the problem is, it doesn't work on the site I need to go to. It works on some sites(mostly java applet games which I google around) but not on the site I that I need. If you have time and don't mind, would appreciate if you can help me out to isolate the problem by going to http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/tws/demo.html , and test the demo. If it works here, I believe it should work every where and at least I know it is possible :wink:

konqueror and java, does it really work ?

I have already installed the blackdown 1.3 which should be the latest for woody(from the main mirror site). There is no 1.4 for woody. The same installation works fine under Mozilla 1.3. I did a search on this site and found that someone else also experienced similar problem. Seems that the on-the-fly download of java applet has some problem. As I said, if it is some simple applet which may consist of only one class(or may be one jar), it seems to be running fine. What I have tested(and is neede...

konqueror and java, does it really work ?

ah, I forgot, sorry. I am running Debian Woody. The jre 1.4 is a straight download from javasoft. I grab the debian package of blackdown(1.3) from their mirror. Both runs fine as standalone for locally downloaded jars. thanks for helping me out.

konqueror and java, does it really work ?

Hi, I download and install javasoft's 1.4.1(well just untar as far as I can tell from the script) on my machine but konqueror seems to have problem running it. According to the documentation, all I need is point to the correct java vm through the setting screen. The reality is, only those very simple 'toy' class floating on the net works but if I go to some site which requires download a set of classes, that would launch a new window as well as using HTTPS, none works. konqueror keeps on saying ...

kmail and spamassassin

Hi, I am currently running spamassassin as the spam killer which is really great. However, one thing I notice is that spamassassin processed mail would make kmail's HTML detection not working. Not that I would read those stuff but just want to know if just in case some of my friends really send me HTML coded message which accidentally flagged by spamassassin, how can I still see the HTML content ? any spamassassin expert here ?

KMail + Hotmail

google 'gotmail' and you will find information of how to retrieve hotmail. google 'fetchyahoo' for the same operation. With some tweaks, you can have all these accessible in KMAIL. linux is really cool in handling this kind of stuff.

How to tell KDE to use scalable fonts when possible ?

Hi, I don't know if this is an X question or a KDE question. I am running XFree86 4.3 with KDE 3.1.2. I have installed a number of TTF for my codepage(Chinese) which looks much nicer than the bitmap font of X. However, Konqueror would use the bitmap fonts by default. In the past, I understand that I can change the FontPath sequence to affect this but don't know how it is not as the TTF is not served by fontconfig and the "freetype" extension. That is all I know about X and fontconfig. So how can...

KPPP Permissions

I see the same logic applies to other part of KDE too. Seems that they have standardize on 'su' rather than 'sudo' which is admin configurable rather than this interactive prompting password which I agree with you, unacceptable. Hope there is a way to configure KDE, need to read the manual and/or source code :wink:

kpackage in 3.1.2 gives "exec failed"

The same environment, same X, same everything, just a distro upgrade and the 3.1.2 doesn't work. And my PATH for normal user is just a subset of that of root. So everything a normal user sees, root see(and more). I search the bug database as well as google and found similar reports from other users. Too bad, KDE team still think it is not a bug. They don't like bugs. I have filed another bug and they just closed it right away calling it is the problem of other component on my machine. I expect t...

kpackage in 3.1.2 gives "exec failed"

thanks, it is kdeadmin/kpackage and surprisingly, this problem only appear when I am root. If I am a normal user, everything works. Sounds like a bug to me, would file a report and try to go through the source to locate it.

kpackage in 3.1.2 gives "exec failed"

Yes, all the command line works fine. Personally, I find kpackage useful for browsing but apt-get etc. is much better when doing the real work. I thought about going Gentoo but compiling took ages(things like XFree86 or KDE can take days on my slow machine). If no one has the answer, I may need to grab the source and have a look inside.

kpackage in 3.1.2 gives "exec failed"

oops, I don't know that but it sees all the debian package and under 2.2.2, it can handle debian package quite nicely, though in real world use, I prefer the command line more. However, I am considering distribute a customized build so I want to test all the GUI functions.

kpackage in 3.1.2 gives "exec failed"

Hi, I tried to upgrade my debian woody from 2.2.2 to 3.1.2 but I found that kpackage no longer works as it gives me "exec failed: no such file or directory", without telling me what it is referring to. This is a rather crude message(useless I may say). I have no such problem in 2.2.2 anyone knows what it tries to exec ? I have no problem to do all the stuff I need like apt-get, dpkg etc. using the command line.
