Sound server not initialising
The KDE sound server doesn't seem to initialise when I boot my machine.
I don't get any sound from KDE at all (or, indeed, from anything else).
I've got "Sound I/O method" set to "Open Sound System". If I then go
into the Sound Server config and explicitly set it to "Open Sound
System" again (i.e., change the dropdown to something else, then back
to "Open Sound System") and Apply, I get a dialog box about restarting
the sound server -- saying "yes" works, but it then blocks other
programs from using the soundcard (XMMS says that it can't open the
audio). I normally have to randomly play with the Sound Server settings
a bit to get it to work, but unfortunately I don't know how I get it
working. I appreciate that this is not a lot to go on, but does anyone
have any suggestions?

I'm using Gnumeric 0.64 as delivered with Mandrake 8.0. I'm trying to
figure out what you can do in Python to program the Gnumeric spreadsheet. I
couldn't find anything in the Gnumeric manual. I have a few questions and
was hoping someone here could steer me in the right direction.
1. Do I have to add functions to the central startup file
(.../python/gnumeric_startup.py) or can I define a Python module
somewhere in my personal directory tree that will get loaded?

The point is not Skip's problem,
but why isn't that sort of question being asked here, on
debian-{kde,python}?
There is the kdebindings package... does it do anything for anyone?
Are there any python or perl scripts for KSpread, KWord, etc.,
kicking around?
I did notice that the dcoppython package would conflict with PyQt,
if there was a PyQt package (what's up with that?)
What is the state of this kind of user-programmable functionality with
KDE, Debian-KDE?

How to change usable desktop area?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have GKrellM [1] open all the time, in fact two copies when I'm online (one from another machine). I'd like to have it always visible, but don't want to set it always on top as it would obscure a fairly large region of other windows, especially when I have two of them. I currently use the kicker extension "Dock Application Bar" on the right-hand edge of the screen, which sets a "strut" in the window manager so maximised windows will stay off that edge of the screen, where I can then put GKrellM. This works very well except a few brain damaged apps, notably most Java Swing apps I've seen so far, seem to set themselves dockable and thus try and squeeze themselves into a square on this docking bar. And so (finally, sorry this is so long) to my questions: is there a better way to do this? Some other means of setting a strut, beyond coding something specially for the purpose? I would be prepared to write something; would anyone else here find a plain "strut" kicker extension or app useful? Or (before someone else says it) do you all think I should just not maximise windows and go get a life? =) [1] GKrellM is basically a column-shaped system monitor with plugins to do a _lot_ of other stuff, see http://gkrellm.net/ - -- Chris Boyle - Winchester College - http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/ ICQ: 24151961 - PGP: http://archives.wincoll.ac.uk/finger.php?q=chrisb -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7HPsRD834tscfhTwRAqJ7AKCTv2eUoPqnHa/yPpgvmKLv6iZqXQCcD1Qv JhnAOHkDuh6as8CgkLiCpNg= =6STr -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I was having similar problems with Ivan's old version of Brahms but I assumed it was a combination of Brahms being compiled for KDE1 and some simple configuration problem with my sound. I have arts working and xmms, timidity++ and other work, though some things need to be run through artsdsp, like mtvp, but I also have problems with kmid?i? The karioke one, the other KDE midi player with all the advanced features works, but the sound keep breaking up on my system, a PII350 with 256M memory. I've been told that brahms is now in the KDE cvs, but not yet in the official files. I would like to have Brahms, and would be willing to compile and test this with my system, but I know very little about making sure that it goes in the proper place for Debian or haw to make deb's. I've read a few of the mails about this, but just wanted to get a good feel about what I need to read and know before possibly making improper deb's. I know that Ivan had a page about the subject, but I still can't reach the new kde.debian.net server. The other consideration is tha I'm running Progeny, but with Ivan's more up-to-date KDE2.1. As this is a mix of potato, testing, Ivan's potato kde packages and some custom Progeny packages, I would need to be sure that I had the proper versions of everything before I started compiling anything anyway. Please be gentle, I'm not a real programmer. I just like playing with Linux and realy, realy want brahms as rosegarden is far too limited and buggy to do anything with at all! A good document for reading to explain the proper locations for Debian files and tools I should have would be welcome. Cheers, John Gay
