New to Debian & KDE - upgrade to 2.2.1

2001-09-24 Thread Frank Murphy
So I recently installed Progeny, and installed their KDE. Then KDE 2.2 came out, so I managed to uninstall their KDE and install the KDE from unstable (with the apt sources, etc.). apt seems to be as cool as everyone says. Now, I want to upgrade to 2.2.1, and this is a totally newbie question: Wh

KDE 2.2.2 (KDE 3?) and fontspecific encodings

2002-05-22 Thread Frank Murphy
I'm having a problem using the adobe symbot font in KDE. When I try to select it in KOffice, I can't see the symbols -- it's just helvetica or some default font. I see the same thing in the Control Center font dialog, and in the K char selector. My real problem is with installing external font

I recently upgraded my sid, and now xmms plays static when I try playing audio when starting xmms with artsdsp. Unfortunately, I didn't notice what I had upgraded to get this. I think that it might be an endian problem because it sounds the same as when I used the xmmsarts plugin (which does ha

KDE 3.2 Kicker menu and Windows key
