Hi All, I have tried using kmplayer from the Kubuntu dapper supplied packages and from the latest source tarball, and get the same problem each time. Fullscreen is black... no video. Sound works, and the video keeps advancing but I have no picture. This problem doesn't exist with plain mplayer, or xine, or kaffeine. Any ideas how I could fix this? L.

The tooltip shows no more information than the properties dialog. In fact it simply shows the icon name again, but no extra information. I know most USB devices have a device associated, but this one doesn't seem to. L.

Hi, The camera doesn't seem to have a device name. See attached screenshot. It indicates that the device could be mounted in /media, but I don't see any device for it there. The directories present in /media are: Source code 1 cdrom cdrom0 ipod sdc2 usbdisk These are all devices (I think) that I have used in in the past. My dmesg output when plugging in is: Source code 1 2 [4343042.802000] ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup [4343043.079000] usb 2-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and addres...

Hi All, I have a Canon Powershot A520 digital camera, which works fine in Digikam if I identify it as a "USB PTP Class Camera". In KDE, however, the desktop icon appears as "Imaging Device" and opening it shows a single directory "Canon Ixus 500". This directory never opens, double-clicking has no effect. Any ideas how I can get the camera to work correctly in KDE? I tried using the "Digital Camera" configuration in KControl, but it didn't help. In fact, I'm not sure what it did. Adding a "Canon...

Is the screen actually going into powersaving mode, or is it being painted in black pixels?

Asking questions like this usually leads to difficult and confusing answers, because everyone has their favourite distro which they will promote. But I'll give you my opinions for what it's worth: A recent poll on a kde website (kde-apps.org I think) ended up with the result of SuSE being considered the best KDE setup from any distro. I use SuSE Proffessional 9.1 myself, and have been very happy. Another distro I have been very impressed with is the latest version of Xandros. It's as close to a ...

I'm not sure what particular part of approcket you want to duplicate, but it's main selling point seems to be the "find as you type" behaviour. A similar behaviour is exhibited by using the konqueror file manager. This can be extended with ioslaves. Simply focus the address bar whilst in file manager mode, and an autocomplete box does the rest (for browsing directories anyway). Using kioslaves allows you to browse systems other than your local file system. For example typing "settings:/" into th...

You are probably missing some of the modules you need to connect to various p2p networks. Apollon is really just a front end to giFT , so make sure you have giFT and all it's plugins installed. http://gift.sourceforge.net/

I think the parent post was asking for a way to configure kwin to behave like the xfce window manager does -- that is, to shade a window by use of the scroll wheel on the window title. As far as I know this can't be done in kwin, or if it can it's a hidden setting. The only shading action I know of is either using a double click or a title bar button. I think you can also activate window shading using a global key binding, which can be set up in the Keyboard Shortcuts section of the control cent...

Hi, I am using kde 3.4 beta 2, installed from the SuSE 9.1 rpms. When I go to the translucency section in Control Center under window behaviour it gives a short description on how to enable Xcompmgr etc. for use within KDE. I followed the instructions as written, plus some other tips I found on the web. I have used the kde patched xcompmgr available from http://baghira.sourceforge.net, plus installed transset. By running xcompmgr -cfC I can have some nice looking shadows and fading effects, as w...
