KDE 3.1 on sarge
hi there: this may have come up before, but I searched the archive and couldn't found my answer, so I decided perhaps it would be best to ask the ML. I wonder if anyone is aware of any apt-get-able site with kde 3.1 (RC) packages for sarge. I have found Karolinas KDE 3.1 packages ( http://wh9.tu-dresden.de/kde3/karolina ) but I can't install it on sarge, nor could I do so on woody ( it gives unmet dependencies ). Cheers Aryan

Yup, I know that when 3.1 is released, packages will be made, but right now I don't have a window manager (ok, twm) on my machine, and I don't want to download 3.0, when 3.1 is so near. So I prefer to download 3.1 RC, and thus I asked if anyone is aware of 3.1 RC packages for sarge. Cheers Aryan

Konqueror's File Association
Hi there: I am trying to remaster a Knoppix CD. Using apt and dpkg, I removed all KDE 3.0 packages, and installed Ralph Nolden's KDE 3.1 packages on it. After this something wierd is happenning. When KDE's default language is set to some specific languages like Turkish, Finish, Farsi and Czech; konqueror is not able to open html pages. intead it opens the page in a text editor (kate I believe) and shows it's source code. While when KDE's default language is set to other languages like German, English or Polish, Konqueror handles html pages correctly. What may cause konqueror's file association to malfunction? What may force Konqueror to open html pages in a text editor? Any ideas?

KDE 3.1 in Sid ?
Hi There: You've probably got tired of this tread but I couldn't resist asking. I last read the list on 20 Feburary. After that I didn't have access to internet, untill today. So I couldn't keep myself uptodate. At that time ( 20 feburary ) KDE 3.1 was partly in sid, but some packages like kdenetwork weren't still in sid ( I guess they had compilation problems on non-i386 systems). I wonder Is KDE 3.1 now completely in sid? are all the applications on ktown now also in sid?

No You can't acees a audio cd with noatun, because you can't mount it.

Making PDF via KWord
Hi There: When I want to make a PDF document with KWord (Using print menu), KWord is able to make a pdf file, but the result is crappy, many words are not in their original position, and all in all, it is unreadable. However, making PostScript files works fine, but anyway, windoze users can't view PS files. Is there any reason why the resulted PDF files are like this? Any way I can repair this? BTW, I am using KOffice 1.2.1, on KDE 3.1.0 RC 5 Cheers -- /* Those who do not understand Unix *are condemned to reinvent it, poorly */ -UNDEAD Evil GNU/Linux Aryan Ameri

Well, all KOffice applications have this problem. Beside, OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 isn't also able to produce neither PS, files, nor PDF files. Though I don't know wether they are related in some way, or not. But anyway, ps2pdf works right now, and atleast I am able to send my homeworks to my lecturers. > > BTW, I am using KOffice 1.2.1, on KDE 3.1.0 RC 5 > > It may be worth trying the 3.1.1 debs in sid.

Problem Printing Farsi Characters
Hi there: The Farsi Language has been supported in KDE for a while now, and in KDE 3.1, one can choose the Farsi keyboard layout, and start typing in KDE applications like KMail, KOffice (1.2), KEdit and KBabel. But it seems, printing Farsi characters is not working. When I type a document ( in any of the above applications ) and then I print the document, Farsi characters aren't printed, but the english characters in the text are printed perfectly. I get the same result, with Printing to PostScript, and also, with Print Preview. Any Ideas? Shall I file a bug?

Upgrading to KDE 3.1 in Sid
Hi there: I am currently running Karolina's KDE 3.1 RC5 Packages for sid (compiled with gcc 2.95) on my system, which is a mixture of sarge/sid. After hearing so much, about the disadvantages of keeping a mix system, and now that KDE 3.1.1 is in sid, I decided to upgrade completely to sid. But apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove 292 packages, including all KDE packages. Is there any way upgrade instead of remove/install? Because I really can't afford to lose all my KDE settings. Is there alteast, some way to save all these application settings (like Konqueror and KMail) and then restore them?

Aside from ~/.kde, I also have a /etc/kde3, shall I also backup this
directory? Will restoring these two directories, really restore all my
KDE settings? like konqueror's bookmarks and KMail's filters? I'm
afraid I am just a bit worried.
What about my ~/.Mail directory. I guess this one is used by KMail, will
removing KMail also remove this directory?
What about fonts that I have installed via KDE Control Center's font
installer? Shall I also reinstall them after installing the new KDE?

Yup, actually OOo is the worst software, which I *have* to use everyday. Only for that MS file format support thing. You know funny thing is, instead of tuning it to start faster, in 1.1 beta, they have added a status bar, so that when OOo is starting, you will know how many minutes you have, to go and get a coffee and come back ;-) There was a time, when Sun was known for producing fast, secure and stable code. e.g back in mid 90s, everyone (even their competitors) agreed that Solaris was the best *nix ever. When in 2000 they announced their plan for staroffice/openoffice.Borg I really expected something much better than this bloated piece of ash** It makes me wonder, what happened to that sun? just my $0.02 -- /* My name is Jehovah.
