Where is KAB - Ole - 2001-01-31
Looks pretty cool!!!
... but where's the addressbook (kab)? I'm using the SuSE-RPMs and it's missing.
Re: Where is KAB - Moritz Moeller-Herrmann - 2001-01-31
It is called abbrowser now. Maybe the title in the .desktop file sahould be changed...

Are there Qt-2.2.3 packages for SuSE?
Good work!
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Gutschy - 2001-01-31
yes on:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/KDE2/update_for_7.0/xdev1
and xdev2
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Carsten - 2001-02-02
You can get these directly from the SuSE ftp-Server (ftp.suse.com). I read about it in the Xfree4.0.2-folder.

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - SK - 2001-01-31
The RedHat RPMs for the 6x branch don't include the kde-network rpm's. Because I uninstalled all of the kde rpm's, I no longer have kmail, kpm, etc. I tried the old 2.0.1 rpm's, but I get dependency errors.
<P>
Is there a place where I can get a good kde-network rpm for RedHat 6.2?
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - APW - 2001-02-01

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - SK - 2001-02-01
I went back and tried the kdenetwork rpm from the 7.0 branch. It didn't complain, but I haven't extensively tested it out. Not surprisingly, it looks like more effort is going into the 7.0 rpm's than the 6.x rpms.
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - APW - 2001-02-04
Followup: I downloaded the RPMs for RH6.2, installed and then did a successful compile of kdenetwork from source. There must have been some header files or libraries that were included in the RPMs.
I must admit that I haven't done a compile of all of KDE from source yet.
Feature/Enhancement Request - David Johnson - 2001-01-31
Since Linux is not the only platform KDE runs on, the LILO tools caught my eye. IMHO, it would be a Good Thing(tm) for KDE to separate out the Linux specific parts into a kdelinux package.
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Matt Newell - 2001-02-01
Who says that Lilo is linux specific?
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Carbon - 2001-02-01
well, it does stand for "linux loader". Also, a grub tool would be nice.
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Anon - 2001-02-01
If you did "man lilo" you'd see that though LILO was desinged for linux specificly, it is a MULTI-OS Loader! What are you using right now to dual boot windoze? "umm... LILO?" yes, LILO, well done.
Thanks KDE Team for an kick-ass Desktop-Enviroment!!!!!
All I seem to do nowadays is "cvs up kde*" WOW!!!!!
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Milos - 2001-02-02
People who multi-boot FreeBSD for instance almost definitely do not use LILO, but BSD's loader.
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Carbon - 2001-02-02
I don't use lilo at all, it is lacking many of the features of grub, including an ultra nifty interface, and an emergency console mode with bash like syntax, allowing you to do some recovery stuff without even having an emergency boot disk!
Also, lilo is part of linux, and although people who use other OSs sometimes use it, it isn't INCLUDED with those OSs, so they will be more likely to use the built in one. Boot selectors, are not particaulary complex pieces of software (at least when compared, to say, KDE) :)
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - KDE User - 2001-02-02
<I>If you did "man lilo" you'd see that though LILO was desinged for linux specificly, it is a MULTI-OS Loader!</I>
<BR>
From my experience, it appears that LILO often
can't boot Linux, not to mention other operating systems. No matter what the manpage says.
<P>
<I>What are you using right now to dual boot windoze? "umm... LILO?"</I>
<BR>
I use BSD boot manager. Works every time.
Re: Feature/Enhancement Request - Anonymous - 2001-02-03
<p>Maybe, instead of only being a LILO program, it could be something like KBootLoader. It could have compatibility with various bootloaders, including LILO, Grub, and the BSD bootloaders. It would do all the basics (adding/removing an OS or partition, timeouts etc.), and then have a seperate part for bootloader-specific options (ex. LILO's lba32 and prompt options).</p>
<p>That way, it would be a program that would be applicable with more UNIX/UNIX-like systems, rather than being a LILO-only solution.</p>
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Doug Holland - 2001-01-31
<p>Very nice, I'll be downloading the new betas
tonight!.
<p>BTW, are you guys planning on adding text anti-aliasing support to KDE soon, now the XRender extension and patches to Qt are available to do this?
Anti-alias works already. - Moritz Moeller-Herrmann - 2001-01-31
AS all KDE apps are qt apps, you just have to recompile your QT with the render extension (you need a new freetype2 and an Xfree-4.02+ with the render extension) and then it just WORKS.
No internal support in KDE needed, though I think in KDE2.1final, the antialiassing will be made configurable by GUI when available...
Re: Anti-alias works already. - Evandro - 2001-01-31
there's a patch to configure whether to use or not aa fonts, but kde was message-freeze so it won't make into 2.1-final.
Re: Anti-alias works already. - Lukas Tinkl - 2001-02-01
I want to assure you the GUI configuration stuff for AA _did_ make it into this beta :-)
<br>
It should be under <em>Preferences -> Look & Feel -> Style</em>
<br>
Regards,
Lukas Tinkl [lukas@kde.org]
Re: Anti-alias works already. - Evandro - 2001-02-02
that's not in the official kde; however, bero patched redhat rpms to show that.
Re: Anti-alias works already. - gnu128 - 2001-02-01
so which version of:
- xfree do i need? is a self compiled 4.02 ok.
- freetype do i need? is 2.01 enough?
and where can i get the qt-patch?
PS: someone should add a "AA-font" question and answer into the FAQ.
Re: Anti-alias works already. - ne... - 2001-02-01

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Bernd - 2001-01-31
I installed the SuSE 7.0 packages. KDE 2.1 beta2 looks very nice and is more stable. But, I miss korganizer. It is not in the bin directory. What is the reason?
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Michael O'Henly - 2001-02-01
Look for "Organizer" under the Office menu.
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Bernd - 2001-02-01
There is no Organizer entry in my Office menu. Also KOrganizer is not in my KDE2 bin directory. Maybe a error in the SuSE 7.0 RPM's?

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - gnu128 - 2001-02-01
cool! :-)
but can we expect to have a themable and perhaps shadowed mouse-cursor in the future? or who's task is it to implement that? (xfree,qt or kde).
i really want colored (not just monochrome-cursors) and i would like to change the "hotX-, hotY-position" of the cursor. the best would be cursors with 8bit alphachannel. i see no reason not to implement this!
what i find good is: the new Application-icons! (specially in the Startmenu) the old icons where very bad!!! are there so few people designing the icon? do u need help?
Drop shadows - Justin - 2001-02-01
I believe the mouse cursor is controlled by X, but I'm not sure. On a side note, Qt/Embedded has a nice drop shadow on its mouse cursor.
While we're on the subject of pretty things, another cool effect would be drop shadows on popup menus. I noticed this in ssh.com's client for Windows and it looks quite good. I'm not exactly sure how possible this is though. I know some Qt, and I was thinking a wrapper to the popup menu could do it. But then what if the area under the popup menu changes (ie scrolls or something) ? The shadow would need to redraw. It sounds like an insane amount of work, but the ssh guys pulled it off quite easily with Windows, and it's not even a natural feature there.
Any other Qt programmers here with some insight?
-Justin
Re: Drop shadows - anonymous - 2001-02-01
I've asked for this, too, and this is the answer that I got: X does not support alpha channel (transparency). There fore, shadows are not possible at all. Period. Also, cursors are one bit, meaning they can only be black&white. Not grayscale, black&white. Very sad, but true.
But not too long ago, a hero named Keith Packard created something revolutionary: The XRender extension (which finally makes Anti-Aliased text feasible). I do not know though, whether that has any meaning for general alpha capabilities of X or not. But on Keith's homepage, I HAVE already seen (semi-)transparent windows. So at least, there seems to be somebody working on it!
Re: Drop shadows - Sam - 2001-02-03
He is not working on it. He is _done_ working on it and is just improving it now.<br>
Alpha cursors that you can see in Windows 2000 will be possible through changes in XFree86. Probably this year...
<br>/Sam
Re: Drop shadows - laky - 2001-02-06
as well as faster pcs with more ram.? i think that more stable applications, which are using low system resources, are more necessity than nice icons and transparent cursors and shadows. for, example the most "stable" and usable kde application - konqueror - cannot be still compared with ms ie.

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - great work! - 2001-02-01
Is the KDE team going to come up something like a updater similiar to GNOME's red carpet? Trying to download all the RPMs and then install them isn't the easiest thing to do.
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Stephan Böni - 2001-02-01
When you have downloaded all files, you can create a simple setup-script like this (update only):
<b>
echo "rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm" > setup.sh
chmod 755 setup.sh
<b>
The script must be placed in the same directory where the donwloaded files are stored.

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Eron Lloyd - 2001-02-02
There is some work being done to address this - we can only hope that "the involved" decide to go through with it. It would be a great thing, indeed. Someone had mentioned on a previous posting about breaking the packages up - some of them, like kdenetwork, may be a little large if the user just want email and Internet dialer, but not any of the others. I agree, we need an equivalent.
KDE sound effects - ac - 2001-02-01
I recently tried KDE 2.0.1 by installing some RPMS I think I found on ftp.kde.org. All the improvements are pretty amazing I must say. However, one odd thing was the sample sound effects provided. In particular, the startup sound effect is the same as Windows 98 afaik. I don't know if somebody just copied it from their Windows filesystem but regardless, I think KDE shouldn't copy/steal such stuff from Windows. In the worst case, Microsoft would be pissed of at people borrowing their sound effects.
Re: KDE sound effects - anonymous coward - 2001-02-01
I don't know where you've got your rpms from, but the sounds are normally NOT the same. Really!
I must admit, though, that I do not really like them. Then again, KDE probably doesn't have the resources to hire a symphony orchestra for a startup-sound :)
Re: KDE sound effects - Brian Eno! - Niklas Lönnbro - 2001-02-03
The startup sound for Windows 95 seems to have been composed by Brian Eno - check out properties for The Microsoft sound.wav. Actually, I still like it, it's better than the w98 startup noise and, yes, in my opinion better than the KDE 2.01 startup sound. Why don't somebody ask Brian Eno if he is interested in helping out, for a good cause? He might even be featured in the next OSS movie, the one about KDE... ;-)
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Nicholas Hagen - 2001-02-01

Dock Application bar and Java apps - Pedro Ziviani - 2001-02-01
KDE 2.1 beta 2 looks great and it's rock solid on my Mandrake 7.2. The support to WindowMaker applets through the Dock Application bar works fine and I have it on my screen all the time loaded with many applets. However there's one very annoying bug on it: every time I load a Java application, it "docks" into the Application Dock when it obviously shouldn't, making it impossible to use them. I currently have to close the Dock in order to load Java apps and then load the Dock again afterwards. Has anyone else experienced this same bug?
It rocks!! But what about aRts in RH7.0 packages? - Jörg Sauer - 2001-02-01
Beta2 absolutely rocks!! I'm coming from 2.0.1 (which I already liked a lot) and the improvements that made it into beta2 are totally mind-blowing! Konqueror for example... hardly any page now that doesn't render correctly, JavaScript and Java work (most of the time), a super-slick styling... Wow! This is the future of UNIX/Linux web browsing!
The panel... now, after all the complaining, you gave us THREE different ways to have an external taskbar on our desktop. I chose to start a child panel with only the taskbar enabled. Cool.
And there's so much more and it's listed on the HP anyway.
You guys totally rock!! I can't over how great this Beta is!
One minor oddity though: I installed the RH7.0 packages and some of the RPMs depend on an arts-2.1 package. I thought aRts was included in kdelibs and kdemultimedia? I force-installed w/out the packages and had no sound. I then got an arts RPM from Rawhide (some 2.0 unstable snapshot) and now everything seems to work. But I'm quite sure the installation wasn't intented to work like this, so please, what's the deal here?
Thanks
Jörg
Inserting pictures into Kmail ? - Martin A. - 2001-02-01
Hi !
I wonder if anyone know how to insert
pictures into an e-mail in kmail.
I use this feature quite often with Netscape 6,
but haven't been able to do this with Kmail.
Thanks.
Martin
Re: Inserting pictures into Kmail ? - Moritz Moeller-Herrmann - 2001-02-02
TO do this you would need an HTML editor. But HTML mails are EVIL. SO at the moment I would not count on support. Why not just attach the picture?
Re: Inserting pictures into Kmail ? - Martin - 2001-02-03
Well, I think it's a bit more elegant to insert
the image directly into the e-mail, but if
this is a security threat, then it should not
be included in Kmail :)
Martin
Re: Inserting pictures into Kmail ? - Dave - 2003-01-23
Only its not a security threat. You are right it would be more elegant. However the attitude of text only emails is a hang over from pre-web days that some hackers still seem to have.
People want different fonts / colours and pictures in their email. Thats just the way it is
Re: Inserting pictures into Kmail ? - Be4Truth - 2006-03-17

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - kreppel - 2001-02-01

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - ac - 2001-02-01
Yes there is, but the IMAP code wasn't ready soon enough to be released with KDE2.1, so they're releasing it separately later.
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Andras - 2001-02-02
You can use also the current KMAIL with IMAP. :) Of course not alone, you need the fetchmail and procmail, get the mails through IMAP with fetchmail, put in a local directory, and set the KMail to read the mails from the local directory. This works until the native IMAP support comes out.

Re: As usual no debian support...Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is - Iuri Fiedoruk - 2001-02-01
For what I know about KDE, they just support the sources, all binaries, etc are from the distros.
For example, redhat packages are made by redhat people, mandrake are made by mandrake staff, and so goes...
I don't think it's a good politicy, but once is the onde KDE team use, we can't blame them for missing support for some system, but ask the guys who make the distro to support KDE.
Re: As usual no debian support...Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is - Daniel - 2001-02-01

RTFPR = Read the F* Press Release - Roberto Alsina - 2001-02-02
it says it right there:
"Installing Binary Packages: [...] Please note that the KDE team is not responsible for these packages as they are provided by third parties -- typically, but not always, the distributor of the relevant distribution."
You ain't getting no sympathy complaining in an article's forum without actually reading it ;-)
Re: As usual no debian support...Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is - Francisco Leon - 2001-02-01
Debian is the most outdated distro there is, and it's very hard to find packages made for the
latest application. As you may know kde uses qt which at that time didn't have GPL so debian would not use kde, until woody.
Heck, there aren't even decent xfree 4 packages out there, just development packages
Blame Debian not Kde
Re: As usual no debian support...Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is - David Starner - 2001-02-02
There are Debian packages for KDE 2.1 in Debian - KDE just decided not to announce them, which is KDE's fault, not Debian's.
The fact that Debian stable is fairly outdated is irrelevant, as most people run Debian testing or Debian unstable. I do wonder what you mean by decent XFree 4 packages - I'm running Debian with decent XFree 4 packages right now. They are no more 'developmental' than those released with any other distribution.
Re: As usual no debian support...Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is - Joshua - 2003-04-30
I agree. As far as I know, the stuff in Debian's "unstable" directory is basically the same as the stuff that other distributions put out. Debian just won't trust trust the new stuff until it's proven its stability.

Yes, you are right. I don't see the audiocd ioslave. I installed RPM for Redhat 7.0 and obviously there is no audiocd ioslave compiled in there. Has anyone got any idea, how to include this?
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Henri - 2001-02-02
Congratulations. It's really a wonderful job, everything runs smoothly and amazingly fast. I didn't find any bug yet ! Just some very minor package flows (why does kdepim rpm _require_ pilot-link, i don't have any palm though i would like to or conflict between I18N-French and kdevelop rpms). I don't want to flame at all, but KDE is now much ahead of gnome which doesn't seem as robust and coherent. Again, thank you guys !
Instructions for Debian users - Ben Hall - 2001-02-02
Hey there,
Deb packages have been available for days. As to the person claiming that Debian was the most out of date distro, (s)he obviously doesn't know what they're talking about.
So, here are the instructions:
add the lines to your /etc/apt/sources/list
Debian Potato (Stable)
deb http://kde.debian.net potato main crypto optional
Debian Woody (Unstable)
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
In either case, once the line is added type:
apt-get update && apt-get install task-kde task-kde-devel
Wait a while for packages to DL and install, and poof! You've got KDE 2.1b2 (Woody is using 0128 builds at the moment.)
Debian Woody is awesome, I've got KDE 2.1, XFree 4.0.2 and all sorts of other really current stuff. As a side bonus, it's only slightly less stable than other Linux distro's. For servers, use stable.
Cheers,
Ben

I get "Couldn't find package task-kde".
using Woody...
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Carbon - 2001-02-04
In the release notes, it says that koffice is not included! Why is that? Although i realize that it is not yet up to the stability level of staroffice, it would still be nice to see an evaluation of where it is so far without having to use CVS.
Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Waldo Bastian - 2001-02-04
<p>Since 2.0 large parts of KOffice are being reworked and that will not be finished in time for 2.1.</p>

Re: KDE 2.1-Beta2 Is Out - Chris Adams - 2001-02-04
Ive installed the Mandrake RPM's, and everything works great, i'm really impressed...
Apart from one thing...
Ive read that you can type lan:/ or rlan:/ in konqueror and get a listing of all the samba machines on your network.
when i type in lan:/ or rlan:/ , it trys to search for it on a search engine.
Why doe these not work????
Help!

Where are kde-i18n archives? - Estevam Neto - 2001-02-04
I'd like to install the rpms of kde 2.1 made by RedHat (Conectiva just make of final versions...), but I need kde-i18n-pt_BR.
Re: Where are kde-i18n archives? - Estevam Neto - 2001-02-09

Konqi screenshot - Jack the ripper - 2001-02-05
Why does the Konqi screenshot have spelling and grammar mistakes? In fact, the whole of KDE is full of such mistakes, run-together words (what the hell is a Webbrowser, I ask the author of the user's guide), and other broken English. Geez, if you can't write English well enough, just write the messages in your native language and get someone else to translate them.
lan:/ browsing - Chris Adams - 2001-02-05
Help!
I cant make konqi work by putting in lan:/
It just trys to search for it with Google.
I am using the Mandrake 7.2 binary rpms.
At the moment, I am compiling kdenetwork using an SRPM, I was just wondering if there was an easier way.

Re: lan:/ browsing - Luc Cove - 2002-07-04
I'm in need of serious help. I'm a newbie to linux, and I just installed mandrake 8.2. What it is that I'm having a problem with is getting the lan settings correct. I can't seem to find any documentation on it, and when I look in the lan browsing configs, it looks about right to me. If anyone can give me a hand, please feel free to Email me. Much thanks.

Where is kdenetwork package for RH 6.2? - Tom Corbin - 2001-02-06
The i386 packages are missing the kdenetwork
packages, which means that kmail isn't available.
The packages are there for RH 7. I can't seem
to get the source rpm to compile, does anyone
have a package I could use?
