Euro configuration
Hello, I have a problem with the euro configuration in KDE, I read the debian-euro-HOWTO, and I have configured properly my system but it can't show the euro symbol. I only have TrueType fonts when I'm root, but when I'm a normal user I can have fonts which can represent eurosign but I have "?" in console and in other applications. I read bugs related to KDE and euro sign, it worked fine for two weeks. Who can help to reconfigure my KDE for euro representation. Thanks a lot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xfree86 and KDM from kde 3 (unofficial debs)
Hi, I have to install Debian on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 laptop, where I need XFree 4.2 to be able to use X (with the trident driver). I installed woody and then the binary distribution of XFree86 4.2. Everything works fine now, except that kdm does not work (which is unacceptable for me, as the laptop is for a completely un-technical person, and the login manager needs to have an easy option to shut the laptop down (gdm and xdm still work, but they can't shutdown the laptop). In /var/log/kdm.log I get /usr/bin;kdm: relocation error: /usr/bin/kdm: undefined symbol: _XdmcpWrapperToOddParity for every attempt to start kdm. Looking at the error message, I guess I need to recompile kdm. But what is the easiest way to do this so that the XFree 4.2 headers and libs are used (I can't just ininstall the xfree 4.1 debs, because that breaks several dependencies)??? Please help me, Reinhold PS: Are there any unofficial XFree 4.2 around that one can use to upgrade instead of using the binary distribution without the package management? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you just need XF 4.2 to support new hardware, just grap the Xxserv.tgz and Xmods.tgz binaries from xfree86.org, install them over your debian install (in /usr/X11R6), and put a few packages in hold state into dselect: xlibmesa-dev xlibmesa3 xlibosmesa-dev xserver-common xserver-xfree86 and you will be able to live for a few weeks until XF4.2 arrives in sid...

Gaah! KDE madness!
So I decided to throw caution to the wind and install the KDE3 debs. Unfortunately, two Very Bad Things are now plague me. One, I can only use kppp as root. It says that it cannot open the modem when I try as a normal user. I confirmed that I am in the dialout group, and it works fine with root--I'm sending this, obviously. The second thing is that the fonts are all hopelessly foobar. In an ironic twist, some (but not all) of the TrueType fonts work (namely, Arial and Times New Roman), but all the other fonts, including the fixed-width fonts, all default to an illegible cursive font. I've tried using different font servers, or no font server, but keep getting that wretched cursive font. Mind you, I did not purge any of the previous settings; I'm at a loss as to why its behaving this way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Starting KDE3
Hello, I have compiled KDE3 in my debian sid and it works fine. The problem is that, when I reboot the computer or I turn on it, if I launch KDE I have to wait 3 o 4 minutes untill it is ready. If I start it a second time whithout rebooting, it's ok. Another problem is that I lost a taskbar applet in every launching and I must add it. Who can tell me what it's wrong? Thans a lot.

Re: Xfree86 and KDM from kde 3 (unofficial debs)
If you can't get kdm working, and you need shutdown control from the login screen I suggest you take a look at wdm, which is the kdm equivalent for window maker. It works fine for me with kde3, and doesn't cause the annoying font problems that I get with kdm. HTH. Cheers Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It isn't good. What's the speed of your machine? How much RAM do you have? Ordinarily, any application started a second time on a Linux system starts up faster.

There are many KDE2 packages that conflict with the KDE3 ones, and these have to be removed, though some can be upgraded.
