libqt2 libpng2 resolution

2002-01-07 Thread Chris Cheney
I think that the best solution to the problem would be for me to upload a
new version of libqt2 2.3.1 compiled against libpng2.  Due to the potential
problems with upgrading from stable (potato) to the future new stable
(woody). I will do this tomorrow morning. After I upload the new version of
libqt2 packages will probably need to depend on that version and
libpng2-dev and be rebuilt, at least for the current ones that are built
against libpng3.

I hope that eventually this sort of problem will not be an issue due to
symbols being overridden. Is there some way to fix this from being an
issue in the future?  This is very big and annoying problem that probably
affects other packages, even more than just libqt/imlib.

If anyone has any further comments please feel free to let me know. Please
direct all flames to Overfiend ;)

Re: libqt2 libpng2 resolution

2002-01-07 Thread John Gay
So, if I understand you correctly, you are going to revert qt back to the
old libpng2 rather than keep it at the new one, which Daniel is planning to
re-compile the rest of kde to?

This is just a temperary measure to fix the current majorly broken state of
KDE for the moment, right?

 Are you and Daniel planning to re-compile everything against the new
libpng and upload it in one go afterwards to reduce the headaches for those
of us tracking unstable and testing together?

At the moment, I've only got problems with kmail missing icons. konq has
its icon, unless I start it from the command line and I'm missing the KDE
splash screen when I log in. I have not checked the likes of kdevelop,
quata's+ or most of the rest of kde, because I haven't had much time and
ignorance is bliss : ).

I haven't done an update in a while, but I'm running testing with kde from
unstable, as that was more stable than testing. I'm just waiting until this
blows over and I can upgrade to a properly working kde. I've heard mixed
reports of some fixes but other breakages so I'm sitting on my hands to
keep from upgrading. Once I hear that the unstable kde is in good working
order again, I'll upgrade.

Thanks for picking up the pieces after Ivan had to drop kde. Several of us
were afraid we would have to wait through another version of Debian before
seeing kde in a stable branch.

Cheers,

 John Gay

Yes, I am sponsoring Daniel so I will be compiling kde after I finish with
libqt2.

Temporary as in libqt3 will be using libpng3, yes.  I see little point in
using libpng3 with libqt2 especially since it might break upgrades from
potato.

No. It will be reverted to libpng2.

Hopefully unstable kde will be working good within 10 days (time for buildds
to catch up).

Quanta is porked (missing ICONS and splash screen) - but my kmail is OK (as 
is konq)

I did an dselect update on unstable yesterday.

euro symbol

I've configured my linuxbox (debian woody -half november- kde 
2.2.1) to use the euro symbol under console and under X ... but only some 
program show me the euro symbol .
Besides in, for example, kspread I can  see the euro (thanks to 
Kontrolcenter and iso8859-15 fonts) but I'm not able to digit it ... I 
tried every keyboard map ...
... it seems as some apps can not handle very well the euro symbol

Maybe try:

My experience so far: all kde2.2 (with X4.1) apllication and all gtk+(gnome) 
application can handle it. The right font (unicode or -15) must be installed 
and selected and and you may want to set something like *looking at your 
email adress* something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] in /etc/environment.
But that can all be found with google or the debian-euro-howto.

libqt 3.x already uses libpng3 so that looks like a good conversion spot.

Sounds good to me.

How do you plan to prevent programs that link with libqt2 to also link
with libpng3 ? Manual check ?

kssl and kio linking errors

2002-01-07 Thread Jonathan Riddell

I'm trying to compile a program for KDE.  When I do it I get the following
error,
/usr/lib/libkio.so: undefined reference to
`KSSLCertificateHome::hasCertificateByName(QString)

It works fine when I remove the crypto package but then I can't use https.

There shouldn't be anything inconsistant about my kde packages which are
from woody using a potato/stable install.

Any ideas on how to make these libraries keep the compiler happy would be
most welcome.

Thanks,  to set the record straight, my mistake :(
It is Kmail that does not start while Knode does start using the 'run 
as a different user' option. I do use your suggestion  (or something 
close anyway) now and it works. This is such a nice feature I would 
like to figure out why it doesn't work as intended, and of KDE apps 
tested, only for kmail.

mail notifier success? (korn/kbiff)

2002-01-07 Thread Saadiq Rodgers-King
Anyone have any luck setting up a mail notifier?  I've been playing w/
korn for a few minutes but it just quietly refuses to work.  No error
messages.  No debugging info.  No nothing.  It just does nothing.
Anything I should know about it?

I tried looking for kbiff as an alternative but it doesn't seem to be
packaged in debian.  Is that correct?  Thanks for any insight.

This may be way off the mark, but why not setup "Interval Mail Checking" in
the network setup for the accounts in question and have KMail play a sound to
notify you? (that's how I'm running now)

Ok. Excellent.

Would you mind closing #126829, #126904, #127180, #127185, #127282
with your libqt2 upload? These are all KDE/png related bugs which
should be solved by linking (again) libqt2 with libpng2. Actually,
closing only one of these ought to be enough (they are all merged).

HELP! - NFS Browsing in KLISA

2002-01-07 Thread Donald R. Spoon
I just started playing around with the NFS browsing section in KLISA and 
have run into a problem.  The other sections of KLISA work fine (SMB, 
FTP, HTTP).  I am using KLISA 2.2.2-11 from unstable.

I have setup a NFS "export" on another computer (legolas), and am trying 
to access it using KLISA. I can manually mount the NFS export on my 
computer as both "root" and as a "user", so I think I have the basic NFS 
setup correct... but don't know for sure.

 My "problem" is that I can access it via KLISA when logged in as root, 
but not as a user.  As a user, I can "see" the NFS folder on legolas, 
but I get a message stating "Authorization failed, legolas 
authentication not supported" when I click on the NFS folder in KLISA. 
When logged in as root, I don't get this message and am able to connect 
and browse to my heart's content.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I 
have the export manually mounted or not...the KLISA behavior is the same.

From the above observations, I presume there is a permission or 
authoriztion problem somewhere, BUT I can't seem to figure out where. 
The "export" on legolas is a new directory (/pub) and is owned by root, 
group "staff", and has full permissions (chmod 777).  I am a member of 
the "staff" group on both machines.

I am a novice to NFS...this is my first attempt to get it going, so I 
may have overlooked something in the basic setup of the NFS system.  If 
anyone out there has this running/working on KLISA, I would really 
appreciate some pointers!!  HELP!

TIA,
-Don Spoon-

My Korn and Kbiff work, but neither do what I want.

I liked it when OutLook would insert a tray icon when new mail arrived.  It 
made things easy.  With Korn/Kbiff I would have to disable interval checking 
in Kmail and check manually when either app notifies me I have mail.  That's 
an extra step that shouldn't exist.

I just leave kmail running all the time and check it periodically now.  It 
works okay.  I decided I didn't want it beep everytime new mail arrives, I'd 
perfer a visual cue, but none are available that are unintrusive while I'm 
working.  (That's why OutLook's tray icon worked so well.)

use dcop to do so. if korn/kbiff let you execute a command when a mail 
arrives, execute:

dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail

and kmail wil check mail.

I believe you can.  That's a cool idea, but of course a typical user, like 
myself, shouldn't need to understand any such under pinnings to achieve 
something as obvious as a tray icon visually cuing that mail exists.

How's about (kmail running...)

Settings --> Configure KMail,

select the Miscellaneous options from the icon bar, and use one or more
of the New Mail Notification options, which are : Beep on new mail,
Display message box on new mail and/or Execute command line on new mail.

I toyed with all those options.  I don't want an audio warning, the second is 
intrusive, and the later would require me to track down some kind of 
application that'll pop an icon in my taskbar, which is all I really want.

libqt just broke again

2002-01-07 Thread James D. Freels
This evening, I upgraded my Debian/Sid system via apt-get, and 
several packages were installed.  Among them were several kde/qt 
packages as listed below to -19.deb version and the icons were
not visible on the desktop (broken as before).

-rw-r--r--1 root root  894 Jan  7 20:26 qt-designer.list
-rw-r--r--1 root root  293 Jan  7 20:26 uic.list
-rw-r--r--1 root root  308 Jan  7 20:26 libqt2.list
-rw-r--r--1 root root  261 Jan  7 20:26 libqutil1.list
-rw-r--r--1 root root  261 Jan  7 20:26 libqt2-mt.list
-rw-r--r--1 root root  261 Jan  7 20:26 libqt2-gl.list

-rw-r--r--1 root root 8868 Jan  7 20:26 libqt-dev.list

I then downgraded these same nine packages from -18.deb files I had 
saved from the previous version, and everything is now working as it should
(icons appear again).

Me too.  :-(  Where'd you find the *-18 debs?  I tried `apt-get install
uic=2.3.1-18 libqt2=2.3.1-18` but no luck.  Thanks.

Hi Jason,

I've written a KDE Kicker applet called KPop3Applet that is basically KBiff. 
It's quite configurable.
Below is a screenshot. 

The problem is I haven't released it yet. Although the program works very well, 
the "./configure" stuff isn't
correct, and that stuff is really a bear to set up.

If you, or anyone else can help me with the ./configure stuff, I can release it.

libqt2 has been uploaded, built against libpng2, and KDE packages will
be rolled in at the rate of one per day until they're all done against
libpng2. The reason for rolling it slowly is apparently to preserve the
autobuilders; you have to bear in mind here that m68k takes 40 hours to
build kdebase alone.

None of the KDE core packages are yet built against libpng2.
kde{admin,graphics,network,pim,ssh,utils} should be OK because they were
never built against libpng3.

Can Chris or anyone else who Understands please give a corresponding
comment about testing ?I believe the standard wisdom is that
testing KDE has been less useful than unstable KDE (though I don't
understand why), and I'm just wondering whether that will now change.

I realise the packages take longer to get to testing ..

So, is there any way to speed one's way back to a functional KDE?
Doesn't seem like 'apt-get -b source kde' is likely to work; can
anyone provide a list of packages that need to be rebuilt?

Yep, that is a known side effect of going back to libpng2.

This is probably more complicated than it needs to be, but I don't know how
to use all the tools really well:

apt-cache showpkg libpng3 | grep libpng3 - | cut -f 1 -d "," | xargs apt-cache 
show | grep Source: | sort | uniq

That lists all sources that depend on libpng3 not all of which will need to
rebuilt.

I suggest using the packages from unstable. Migration to testing isn't
automatic, and KDE packages are being held back due to problems with
libstdc++3 and such on hppa and arm. Thus the packages are older, such
as kdenetwork, which is still lacking IMAP support in woody ...

> I realise the packages take longer to get to testing ..

If they get there at all.
