Hiya Tim, I just tested it here. First, noatun DOES run now, which it didn't 2 upgrades ago :) I fired up top and then fired up the player. mp3's are using about 12% and mpg files about 30% - which is pretty damned good considering. It doesn't appear to support avi files. Box here is a po

KDE in woody?

2001-03-20 Thread Peter Seidler
On the kde.tdyc.com website, there is a note stating that "KDE is now part of woody". However, there doesn't seem to be any KDE packages (except for some i18n packages) in the woody dist.. Why? Do I have to wait for sid to become more stable? (I wouldn't like to install sid on a system supposed to

Regular xterm fonts no longer in konsole?

Hi, I'm running the latest sid with KDE 2.1 and AA fonts. It works great and looks very nice. The only problem is that I can no longer get konsole to run using the standard xterm fonts. Normally I use the "Huge" or "10x20" font, but this no longer works. Instead I get some weird font. I can

I was getting the panel resets quite often, but the last updates from Ivan seems to have sorted that. In saying this, though, I'm running Progeny, which is woody-based. I'm not sure what the differences are between Progeny and Debian Woody, so that might be why mine is fine now. Cheers, Jo

kdm is the KDE-type X-login manager similar to xdm or gdm. As you have a 'clean' install, then obviously your system is booting into console mode. At some stage while installing X or during the install task-kde, The system should have asked you if you want to boot directly into X. dpkg --reconfig

To stop it, you can either uninstall kdm (apt-get remove kdm) or manually delete the link in /etc/rc2.d/. Since it seems like you won't ever want it to boot to X (the only function of *dm on a workstation machine) you should probably just remove the package. However, I'm curious as to whethe
