Compiling Qt 3.0.4

2002-05-06 Thread Robert Tilley
My .profile file is as follows:

tillarium:/home/tilleyrw# cat .profile
QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

But when I issue a ./configure I am told:

tillarium:/usr/local/qt# ./configure

   The environment variable $QTDIR is not set correctly. It is currently
   set to "", but it should be set to this directory,
   which is "/usr/local/qt".

   Please read the INSTALL file for instructions on how to set $QTDIR
   correctly. If you have set $QTDIR in your .profile or .login, you
   will need to log out and log in again to make the setting effective.

First, what's wrong?  I've logged out and back in several times to verify 
that everything is read.  Do I need to put the variable  declarations into my 
.bashrc instead?

Second, should I install Qt 3.0.4 on my box?  As the Debian packagers are 
late (May 2nd anyone?) with XFree86 4.2 and KDE 3.x.y should I install the 
latest Qt in preparation for these packages?

installing cupsys-driver-gimpprint drivers

2002-05-06 Thread Roland Wegmann
Hello all

I managed it to run my Epson Stylus Color 880 (an USB Printer) using
CUPS. First  tried to cofigurate the Printer via the KDE Control Center
but i failed (no useful output). Then i tried to manage the configuration
via http://localhost:631/admin . In this way i had success.

Now my question. I have in mind to use the Epson Stylus Color 880 Driver
from cupsys-drive-gimpprint. But when I configure my Printer via http://
localhost:631/admin the menu doesn't find the gimpprint drivers (the
control center way does). What do I have to do that I can install
gimpprint driver via localhost?

Thanks in advance for helping me

Configuration of Kmail

2002-05-06 Thread Roland Wegmann
Hello

as you can see I am a gmx user. Therefore I will configurate my gmx-pop-
accounts. I already can download the emails from pop.gmx.net, but I
cannot send emails via the smtp-sever of gmx (mail.gmx.net). I always get
an error message. Does someone of you have managed to use kmail in
combination with gmx.net?

Thanks in advance for helping me

I don't know. Do a

echo $QTDIR

and send it to us.

Yes.

Debian will fix all deps for you. This shouldn't preclude you from getting
the latest and compiling if you want. But don't feel like you need to do
any work b/c packages aren't coming as fast as we'd like them.
Sorry. I may be misunderstanding this.

Good luck.

Fred

multiple X sessions

2002-05-06 Thread Gabor Gludovatz
Hi,

Is there a way to manage multiple logins with kdm and X? I have an office
computer which is often used by other people as well, and if somebody
wants to read emails or do something, I have to log out.. or as an
alternative solution I could start a new X server..

Is it possible to use the already running X server in a way that nobody
can access my session, and the user can change among the running sessions,
after he reauthenticated himself?
I suppose not, but who knows.. :)

thanks in advance,
  Gabor

I had the same problem when I had "su"'ed into my account and .profile had not 
been run

You can easily check with the "env" command to see what these variables are 
set to.

Yes, you can have as many as you want running. I used to have one on vt7 and 
vt8, each at a different resolution for various things.  However, I ran into 
a few problems.  The biggest was the video card. There is only so much memory 
those things have, and when you switch between them, it can screw some things 
up (just how they are displayed).  You also run into the problem of how much 
physical memory and CPU time you have.  If you want to do this effectively, 
make sure you have a beefy system.  

To do it, you just need to set up XDM to set up multiple screens.  KDM uses 
the XDM stuff, so take a look at /etc/X11/xdm/ (or whereever they are for 
you) you will want to create new entries in there.   My current setup is not 
normal, so I cant give any examples, but if you read the man pages for xdm 
you should be able to figure it out.

Can you be more specific about your e-mail error messages.  kmail works great 
with smtp but often smtp servers will only forward e-mail for specific 
accounts (otherwise they are a potential open relay for spammers) - so it may 
depend on factors related to gmx.

One solution is to run a mail server on your own linux box (try exim for 
instance), and get kmail to send mail out via this local server

There is a file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) in the xdm config dir, but with
this one you start several X servers. And you have to predetermine how
many users will use the computer at the same time.
The perfect solution would be (as in WinXP...) to start only one X server,
and when you lock your screen (you leave your computer) other users could
login as well, without touching your existing session. And with a key
combination you could change among the running sessions after having
yourself reauthenticated.

What's the error message?

What version of KMail?

It's quite possible that GMX uses smtp-auth which older versions of KMail do 
not support.
