It would be great if the Live CD also had an DHCP serving 192.168.0.x addresses. What shall I do do have that? _______________________________________________________ Yahoo!

This feels really weird, doesn't it? I mean having to manually unmount a CD before the eject button would eject the CD... Anyway I hope something will happen here. Having media:/ and so on is a lot better than what it was before though; I used KDiskFree to mount/unmount stuff... When you look at Mandrake or SuSE you see it is possible (and absolutely necessary for any non UNIX-audience imo) to have reliable automount/unmount, but from what I can tell there's no sign of this coming to the ubuntu kernel any time soon. At least before the release of hoary when I tried to suggest this, the developers seemed satisfied whith what media:/ or the gnome volume stuff brought. Maybe you could go to kubuntu-devel with that or bring it up on IRC, so the guys are aware this is still something bothering users.

I've recently installed Ubuntu Hoary, and updated it to Kubuntu by installing kubuntu-desktop. Now, every time I start KDE (by running a KDE session or just a KDE program from a Gnome session), kbuildsycoca runs approximately every two or three seconds, generating copious quantities of warning output about several programs which apparently use unrecognized MIME types (I can provide an extract of .xsession-errors if needed). On Gnome sessions, apparently GDM limits the size of .xsession-errors, but on KDE sessions the file grows continuously, not to mention the fact that it is a bit distressing to "hear" the HD being accessed periodically. I can "stop" the problem by rerunning kdeinit, but then kded does not work right and changing the system settings just hangs. Is that a known problem, with a fix, or it is my system alone?

Message-ID: <200509030932.25150.james@grayonline.id.au> Hi All, I don't want to sound like an ungrateful bastard, but when the hell can we expect AMD64 packages for KDE 3.4.2 on Hoary?? One of the big carrots dangled was that Kubuntu will support AMD64.......so where's the packages? KDE 3.4.0 is a bit buggy and I've noticed most of these irritations are gone on 3.4.2 which is running on my i386 lappy over there ---> KDE 3.4.1 is a no-go for me because I need cervisia which is broken in that version. Is there some way to pull the binaries out of Breezy (doubtful considering the C/C++ changes happening over there)? I've googled and RTFM'ed and searched the archives, but other than Frode Døving's efforts on 3.4.1 for AMD64...the whole thing seems to have gone cold. Ideas (clue bats) anyone? If anyone has a neat build script[1] that saves me the wrangling normally involved in building source packages, I'm happy to donate my AMD64's CPU cycles to the cause....but I really don't have the time to spend a week fiddling just to get the packages to compile etc (sorry). Cheers, James [1] I really mean "automated build tool" - that will download the right source debs, then step through the build process until the lot is built etc. Then I can upload to a public mirror somewhere. -- Ambition, n: An overmastering desire to be vilified by enemies while living and made ridiculous by friends when dead. -- Ambrose Bierce -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yes you can change the time-out but not directly in Kmail etc. Open kcontrol (Control Center), go to the "Internet and Network" branch and select "Connection Preferences". Move the slider for "Server Response" to something that better suits your needs. Mine is set at 1200 seconds because sometimes I send very large files over VERY slow links....ugh. This change will affect all programs that honour KDE's global settings (like Kmail).

I'm not sure about this but I *think* the autopackage of Firefox is statically linked. At least I haven't found anything about it requireing gtk to be installed. I can't say for sure though since I have both the ubuntu firefox (and thus all of it's dependencies) an the latest autopackage installed. Anyway if you'd like to try go to autopackage.org and follow the appropriate download links.

On WinXP using Outlook, I don't have this problem. What do you think it is??

I'm a newby with Linux and decided to install Ubuntu. I installed Kubuntu 5.04 with KDE 3.4.1 on my computer. I also changed from Thunderbird to Kontact and I really like this product. The only problem I experienced was that the "Extension Bar"-Feature in Kontact didn't work properly (field in menu was empty after switching to mail and back). I found some thread on the web which said that this bug is known and already fixed. So I decided to update kaddressbook and kaddressbook-plugin. Afterwards, I wasn't able to start Kontact anymore and the terminal keeps on showing "QButton::setState() / setOn: (unnamed) Only toggle buttons may be switched" until the process is killed. Starting kmail and kaddressbook separately works properly. Has anybody ever experienced this problem??? How can I fix this bug? I apologize if I have not provided enough information about the system I'm using (versions etc.). Thanks! Lars.

If so, delete the applet from the kicker panel, (right click KDE icon, Panel menu, Remove from Panel, Applet, Weather Report) then add it back in (right click KDE icon, Panel menu, Add to Panel, Applet, Weather Report).

I tried a two times but found out I had to add 2 stations and made a choice for the one I like. Currently it is working. I have the feeling that Hoary is quicker then this snapshot.

This is ok for me, but this laptop is for a brand spanking new person to linux (though has used my machine here and there). Is there an actual solution to the problem? I did find the configuration manager, but what do I do to do to set up the network? When I click the autodetect, and error message come up telling me that it is "Unable to autodetect wireless interface." I am currently not in an area that has a wireless connect. I have an external D-Link Air DWL-650 in the laptop PCI slot. I have the CD with drivers, but obviously it is for Windows only (though to be honest, I am guessing this). What do I need to do now? I know that the problem may be deeper. I'm not sure I have DHCP set up properly at all since I can't even get the regular ethernet to work. -fj From support at bigriverinfotech.com Sun Sep 11 01:21:55 2005 From: support at bigriverinfotech.com (Raymond) Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 21:21:55 -0400 Subject: Mutt SMTP Command Line Parameters Message-ID: <200509102121.55989.support@bigriverinfotech.com> Maybe a little off topic, but what are the command line arguments to specify the smtp server and port for the Mutt email client?

This might be for vmware but I think that it doesn't run in 32bit colour which is what Ubuntu starts in. Can you get a text prompt? If so try running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and change it from 32bit to 16bit graphics and see wether that helps or not...

Sure you could make KDE look almost exactly like Windows XP at first glance but it still wouldn't really be the same (whether that good or not is up to you though ;)).

Yeah... I actually did just that... Cause I hated how KDE looked like WIndows and liked the userfriendly way the Gnome UI was designed. However I love the wide set of features that KDE (and especially it's applications) offer... Now that I made my Gnome and KDE look almost the same there's not so much difference between them... most applications work in both environments too. Gnome has Nautilius while as KDE has more flexiility... > at which point the inevitable question arises: > > why 2 distros ??? I actually mailed the Ubuntu people about it... their answer was that they're actually not really two different distros. If you install the minimal server installation of Ubuntu/Kubuntu and the do a "sudo apt-get install (k)ubuntu-desktop" you're able to pick desktop environment no matter which one's installation CD you used. But... it'd really be nice to see KDE and Gnome integrated. They already integrate quite well if one makes them to, but ordinary people shouldn't have to bother. Ordinary people shouldn't even have to know what a windowmanager is. Linux's modularity is great, but having to know of it puts many people of. So a userfriendly distro (such as Ubuntu), having a unified windowmanager+application suite with the best of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu could be great. cheers, Simon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There isn't any direct method to do what you're trying from the command line. However, using the "-F " option you can specify a muttrc file other than the default (default is ~/.muttrc in case you want to modify that one). "man muttrc" for the details on how to specify pop/smtp/imap server details.

Linux has some definite benefits over the closed source 64bit world. Read on :) There's an interesting article over at ExtremeTech about 64bit computing on Windows platforms. Seems our WinXP-64 encumbered brethren are facing the same issues as Linux users, but on a MUCH bigger scale. Here's a quote from the article about a Dell warning message on pre-installed WinXP-64 boxes they ship: "Peripherals you currently own or plan to purchase in the near future (cameras, printers, MP3 players, handheld devices) will most likely NOT work on a system purchased with Windows XP Professional x64, and some software applications may not work on the x64 operating system." http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1857476,00.asp The benefit of Linux is that most drivers are fully "open source" meaning we can recompile for 64bit kernels with minimal fuss or recoding effort. Heck everything I own (MP3 players, digital cameras, video cameras, and all teh internal stuff like sound cards, video cards etc) all work under Linux. Same cannot be said for WinXP-64...most do NOT work. My dual-boot box is Kubuntu+WinXP, I sent my copy of WinXP-64 back it was totally useless to me. Viva open source :) Cheers, JamesJames -- BOFH excuse #345: Having to manually track the satellite. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I had a similar problem, and it was so because I used imap folders to store my calendar, together with KDE alarm service (not exactly the title, perhaps). The alarm service starts up and then tries to access the imap folders, therefore it stats Kmail. I have not found a workaround, though I would like the Kontact to start, not just Kmail. So i stopped using imap folders for my calendar...

On a dual-boot system (Mac OS 10.4 and Edubuntu 5.10), which involves installing Mac OS X onto the 'front' of the hard-disk; the partitioner is downright confusing, especially with its requirement for an Apple Boot Loader partition: the average teacher will be completely "thrown" by this. 2. The sound on the Mac-mini now works (Ubuntu 5.10 single boot) and is just as good as under Mac OS X. 3. Proud of my Mac-mini sporting Ubuntu 5.10 I waltzed up the road with it (Apple advertise it as "portable") and got egg all over my face when I plugged it into a bog-standard 14 inch monitor (having installed it while connected to my IBM 17 inch VDU at home.) No GUI loading - "jolly" purple screen; not so good. (The Mac-mini is 'portable' insofar as one can carry it around and connect it to "any old monitor" when Mac OS X is installed.) 4. No GUI loads with Dual-boot Edubuntu after finishing install: after a hard reboot one is presented with a "jolly" purple screen. Became "totally fried" and decided to try a Kubuntu Dual-boot install: 5. Oh, Super: no "jolly" purple screen - because after the initial mac/linux choice screen Kubuntu turns off the monitor. I must be bonkers: decided to go for a Kubuntu 5.10 single-boot install: 6. At this point it became rather obvious that a Mac OS X / Ub/Kub/Edu dual-boot is not feasible (at least just now) - and I can see more people than just myself finding that a "bit disappointing". 7. I should make it clear at this point that I have successfully installed dual-boot systems with Ub/Kub 5.04 and MS Windows on a variety of mongrel PCs. I had a PC running a dual-boot with Linspire 5 on the second half of a partitioned disk and Kubuntu 5.04 on the first half: lovely (well, I don't really like Linspire to be honest). I had to change back to MS Windows because a bank and few other secure sites have "fixed" their sites so that they only work with Internet Explorer: why do I have a funny feeling they might be breaking International Law (not that that would come as a big surprise)? Of course, I have to keep fiddling with my Windows install as some bloke down the road keeps trying to piggy-back my internet connexion. 8. A full Kubuntu 5.10 also turned the monitor off. 9. So, I shall go back to a full Mac OS X install because: i. While Ubuntu 5.10 works as a single-boot install it "fixates" on a monitor so is not portable. ii. a dual-boot doesn' work. LATER, when I find the time, I shall try a dual-boot system on my BIG Mac G4 that sports 4 hard-disks - things might go rather better when Ubuntu has a real hard-disk (rather than part of a single hard-disk) to itself: this certainly worked with Yellow Dog PPC 4. This is not much help for the Mac-mini, unfortunately. I have an MA in Applied Linguistics from SUI, Carbondale (i.e. I'm a teacher) and an MSc in Computers and IT from the University of Abertay, Dundee (don't ask - Visual Basic and Microsoft Databases), and I started programming computers (Fortran 4) 30 years ago: so, in theory, at least, I should have no trouble with these installs whatsoever . . . In the case of Edubuntu, at least, nobody should have to play happy command-line games: something I thought I had seen the back of when I packed my BBC Master away in the attic and "migrated" (ha, ha) to a Macintosh LCII. I do, occasionally do the odd "make" and "make depend" when I get desperate (think about WINE!). Frankly, it's my BA in Philosophy that keeps me going!

As my G4 is not connected to the Internet (and because the Kubuntu 5.10 install refuses to allow me admin privileges!!!) I popped a CD containing a tarball of WINE into the CD drive. Grumble #3: Because the open/close CD drive button on my keyboard is inactive under Kub 5.10 (and the Mirror Door G4 has no CD-open button) I have to open my CD drives by right-clicking on the Unmounted CD drive icons (which - think about this from a greenhorn's point of view - I had to go and set as visible in the settings) and close them by PUSHING them in - not good, as CD drives are a bit "shoogly". WINE Tarball unpacked without trouble.

So, here we go: attempting to install UBUNTU 5.10 preview onto my second hard disk: (I have successfully performed a single-boot install of UB 5.10 onto my Mac-Mini, so my hopes are somewhat higher here) PHEW ! What a relief: at the first reboot the "Ubuntu Configuration" screen comes up. Just signing in at the login screen of the GUI. (having my own private theories about why the Admin access didn't work with the KUB install I have set the root and the user password to the same thing - Yeah, I know, security - who cares, its in my bedroom!) Wow,the Volume Control buttons on the Mac keyboard work straight away. Sound works - played a Music CD - no problem. The CD eject button does not. As there does not seem to be a way to show unmounted CD drives on the desktop I wonder how I am going to open my CD drives? Had to open a CD drive with a screw driver - not a good thing. Ubuntu did not 'see' my CD-R with the Runtime Revolution standalone in. Had to reboot into Mac OS X to eject the CD - not good. Moved the CD into the DVD/CD drive and booted back into UB 5.10: Ubuntu recognised my DVD/CD drive that came with the computer and mounted the media within it. Ubuntu recognised my CD drive that I scavenged out of my old Beige desktop G3, but refused to mount the media within it. There seems to be no way to open the tray of either drive via software; and as the drives do not have external buttons (and as they are not the "suck and play" type that I have on my Mac-Mini) this is a huge drawback. UBUNTU would not run my Runtime Revolution Linux standalone. Could not decompress the WINE tarball. Could not play a DVD without having to download a codec.

Open a terminal and eject it from there: $ sudo eject /mnt/cdrom Change the device mountpoint accordingly. A simple 'df' should show where it's mounted. You might need to work up a script and place an icon to it on the desktop to make it work a little easier next time. Since sudo probably wants a password (I don't know, I don't have any of the Ubuntu versions installed right now), you'll either have to get it to open a terminal to get the password, have it call gksu or something to get the root password, or run visudo (as root, or 'sudo visudo') to change things so the password isn't required for the user in question. > Ubuntu did not 'see' my CD-R with the Runtime Revolution > standalone in. > > Had to reboot into Mac OS X to eject the CD - not good. > > Moved the CD into the DVD/CD drive and booted back into UB > 5.10: > > Ubuntu recognised my DVD/CD drive that came with the > computer and mounted > the media within it. > Ubuntu recognised my CD drive that I scavenged out of my > old Beige desktop G3, but refused to > mount the media within it. > There seems to be no way to open the tray of either drive > via software; and as the drives > do not have external buttons (and as they are not the "suck > and play" type that I > have on my Mac-Mini) this is a huge drawback. The drive you salvaged from the Beige G3 might be a problem. I don't know that to be the case, but I know that I had an oddball in a machine for awhile that gave me fits, and not just in linux. I never installed UB/KUB on a Mac, but other things I had installed on there (YDL, Mandrake, another that I now forget) were troublesome. Thankfully, my son's Mac was giving him trouble (a problem on the mobo) so I traded with him. I haven't turned it on in 6 or more months, since once we traded it would lock up after a few hours.

Since it's hoary, you could simply remove the security repository and get the original hoary package, but there's probably a really good reason why there was a security update for that package...

In my experience, Microsoft's boot loader will not load linux. You usually enter the BIOS by pressing ESC, F2, or DEL when your computer is first booting up. Many newer computers have a "boot prompt" key, like F9 on HP computers. My Asus motherboard's quick-boot key is F11. The quick boot / boot prompt key will ask you once which device to boot from, and the next boot would be back to normal.

Is there a plan to produce a KDE-based version? Is anybody using the current Ubuntu package with KDE? It's all very nice that NM thinks it can establish my connections without interference from me, but there must be basic configuration _somewhere_ and I can't figure a way to give it anything but a WEP key (when I want WPA - but it might actually be asking for WEP/WPA). While there's a button for "Help", it's grayed and there doesn't appear to be any help in the package - or an associated help package. I don't see any at the NM home page either. How, if at all, does NM tie into /etc/network/interfaces? If it doesn't, how do you tell it to do any of the things I would do with ifup, like reset my firewall rules, get the NTP time, and run my mail queue? -- derek From startouched at gmail.com Wed Sep 21 19:51:41 2005 From: startouched at gmail.com (kkeith) Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2005 15:51:41 -0400 Subject: Breezy Networking Issue Message-ID: <4331B9CD.90508@gmail.com> I have the same problem on 2 different Breezy installations.

If it is USB - Make sure that you have the printer turned on before you start Kubuntu. I have had problems in the past with turning the printer on after I have booted Kubuntu. Once you have the printer on the printer will be detected properly in the KDE print setup routine.

After replacing the appropriated sources.lists entries, with a few of "sudo aptitude update", "sudo aptitude install" and "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", my new system his here. The problem is that now the internet connection doesn't work anymore. I have a DSL modem connected to an ethernet port, that acts as DHCP server. Shortly after networking starts("/etc/init.d/networking start"), all works well, but some seconds after (I think 30 second after, when the DHCP lease is over) it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart the networking again. Of course this is very annoying. I wonder if someone can tell me if some of the net autoconfiguration's stuff is changed during the transition from 5.04 to 5.10, as I think there is a problem with some older configuration file laying around.

The printer was on during initialisation, something I was aware of from my Suse days. I am still perplexed by the lack of admin rights with Cups. Trying to get access to the admin pages for the Cups server, via localhost:631 brings up the log-in prompt as you would expect, but I have been ubable to log in, even though I have tried adding users with stuff like : sudo lppasswd -a Colin but this doesn't seem to have worked.

It's called server even though it's kind of used as a client. That's because what you do is that you ssh (or telnet) into a remote machine and open an application towards a remote display (the "X11 server" on the Windows machine). Personally I only use Mac and Linux, so I really have no experiance with running an X11 server for Windows. I know that there is software for this purpose and I think that it should be farily easy to use. You just need to find out how. Google is your friend, and maybe some other friend can give some other hints here at this mailing list. > no, you need some flavor of VNC, tight, ultra, real, etc, ssh is for > getting a command prompt from you linux box. No, that's a different solution for remote desktop usage... but it's not what he asked about. You can run X11 applications remotely too. Please read the previous posts in this discussion to know the different alternatives and understand what we're talking about. cheers, Simon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After grokking a few logs (/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog mostly) it looks like the fglrx driver isn't loading correctly afterall. Here's what used to appear in the logs prior to the kernel update today: [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 432 MBytes. ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [fglrx] module loaded - fglrx 8.16.20 [Aug 16 2005] on minor 0 [fglrx] free PCIe = 54804480 [fglrx] max PCIe = 54804480 [fglrx] free LFB = 55504896 [fglrx] max LFB = 55504896 [fglrx] free Inv = 0 [fglrx] max Inv = 0 [fglrx] total Inv = 0 [fglrx] total TIM = 0 [fglrx] total FB = 0 [fglrx] total PCIe = 16384 Note the lack of the Copyright notice and the additional lines about memory use/allocation. According to modprobe, it IS picking up the recompiled kernel module in /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/misc: $sudo modprobe -v fglrx insmod /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/misc/fglrx.ko But I get the short message in dmesg and no accelerated 3D. I also tried rolling back the kernel to the previous kernel version (+headers etc), reboot, and recompiled the driver again, but I get the same results. That surprises me and makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing in the driver build? Cheers, James -- BOFH excuse #293: You must've hit the wrong any key.

Your dhcp client will certainly overwrite it. There are many other applications that _might_. Simply, if your work runs Windows systems, then all _their_ machines are getting everything they need from the DHCP server, and you can too. There shouldn't _be_ multiple domains in /etc/resolv.conf - you only belong to one. There probably should be multiple DNS servers, but that should be happening automatically. It would be much easier if you explained what you think is wrong and what you are trying to do. -- derek From day.lewis at gmail.com Mon Sep 26 19:08:47 2005 From: day.lewis at gmail.com (Steven Lewis) Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2005 14:08:47 -0500 Subject: /etc/resolv.conf file issues In-Reply-To: References: <221ddd6705092607546a872c26@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <221ddd67050926120816bc6499@mail.gmail.com> On 9/26/05, Derek Broughton wrote: > > Steven Lewis wrote: > > > Hello all - I use Kubuntu at my work on a corporate that is compirsed of > > several domains. > > > > I have manually editied via VIM the /etc/resolv.conf file to reflect my > > domains, and nameservers. > > > > However there seems to be a system event that overwrites the edited file > > back to a default file. > > Your dhcp client will certainly overwrite it.

Actuall domain names have been changed to protect the innocent but the examples are valid. I work within an envrionment which calls for me to manage linux servers via ssh. My box, kubuntu of course, resides in the foo.company.comdomain. The servers I manage are on either of the following: corp.company.net , dev.company.net, testlab.company.net domains. If I do not edit my resolv.conf file I must use FQDN to ssh to the boxes. I appreciate any and all help/pointers. Steve -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When I try to execute the extraction process (in "sudo" or not) I get the message "Extraction denied; you don't have the right permissions". What gives? I downloaded the "unofficial Ubuntu 5.4 starter guide" but there's nothing in there about extraction. Of course, since I cannot load my Ratoc modem driver into Ubuntu, I'm using Windows to connect to the internet. If anyone of you gurus knows how to eliminate that recurring error message and how to extract from CD's and floppies, I surely would appreciate it and would be very grateful for your help.

OK - it doesn't seem like such an awful chore to use FQDNs, but then I don't administer more than 5 boxes on two domains (and I'm only on one domain at a time, anyway) ;-) Presumably, the resolv.conf you wrote works for you, so what does that look like?

It actually won't grab a new dhcp lease if you loose connectivity, and I think that's what Jonathan asked.

On my windows boot it attempts to grab a new lease each time I unplug the network connection. I would love to be able to do that in Kubuntu. Maybe I could create some script that I could execute each time I moved around that would do it for me?

My lappy runs Kubuntu (Hoary) in a Windows Active Directory environment. I didn't bother with all the Samba+winbind fru-fru and simply created my Kubuntu account to match the userid and password I have on the Windows network. Works well. I access our Exchange2000 server with Kmail over POP3. I was using IMAP but found it was a bit slow and, for still unknown reasons, would occasionally purge entire folders causing the loss of mucho e-mail. POP3 just works. I keep a backup of my ~/Mail directory on one of our network shares. The calendaring etc on Exchange I don't use (never have). I keep all my appointments in Korganiser and life is good. I did manage to get Korganiser to sync-up with the Exchange calendar, but it was slow and tended to crash Kontact occasionally. The rest of my system just works. DHCP over Wifi works, Konqueror handles NTLM authentication for me, I can browse network shares with "smb://server/share" in Konqueror etc. Terminal services are handled with "krdc" and that also covers the VNC systems we have for remote-managing PC's etc. The bonus for me is that I never have to reboot. My Windows-encumbered colleagues are forever swearing and cursing at their WinXP boxes (so it seems) but mine just keeps on going. I had two other guys in our IT Dept ask if I can set them up with dual-boot so they could give Kubuntu a go :) Hope that answers some of your questions.

As well your comments lend insight into how you coexist in a Windows AD corporate environment using kubuntu distro. Please all folks keep your stories ensights and tips concerning using linux as your primary box in the corporate world.

That _is_ what ifplugd does. Except I forgot to mention that it needs either a PCI NIC or a PC-card that supports mii (I think there are some, but none of the ones I've used). Then it listens for the ethernet linkbeat and brings up the interface when it hears it. > Also anyway to stop boot up from taking so long if > there is not a network connection? In /etc/network/interfaces turn off both "auto" and "hotplug" on your devices. Then I find whereami, when properly configured, helps - you can ensure that it only attempts DHCP on a server it already knows exists. Finally, there should be a timeout setting for your DHCP client program - lower it. If you don't get any response from the server in 10-15 seconds you probably aren't going to. DHCP3's dhclient defaults to 60 seconds - any time it's taken that long, I didn't get a lease, anyway. -- derek From news at pointerstop.ca Wed Sep 28 18:14:30 2005 From: news at pointerstop.ca (Derek Broughton) Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 15:14:30 -0300 Subject: klaptopdaemon (breezy) & hibernate/resume Message-ID: <953r03-rge.ln1@news.pointerstop.ca> Can anybody tell me how exactly klaptopdaemon hibernates my ACPI-enabled computer?

Open Control Panel 2. Open "Internet & Network -> Local Network Browsing" 3. Enter your normal windows (active directory) user name and password. 4. Click apply, close control panel. 5. I think you'll need to restart an Konqueror instances to take effect. That's all I did :) Keep in mind, if your company uses an Active Directory "domain" you'll need to prefix your user name (in #3) with it. Assume your company's domain is "ABC" and your user name "barney" then you'd have to enter "ABC\barney" as your user name. After that, KDE should be able to automagically browse around without prompting you for your password. Not sure about "smb://" shares as I usually run around with an admin account, eg "smb://adminacc at windowsbox/". Let me know if I can help further :) Cheers, James -- Coitado do espermatoz�ide...

I'm loging in via kdm to kde (or mostly xfce4, or fluxbox). I set up my prefered shell via chsh, to '/bin/zsh'. After loging in and run xterm, it fires up and runs zsh. But if I start konsole it never runs zsh (while I until it from the konsole-session) and it fires up using bash but doesn't even source my $HOME/.bashrc any idea?

Compiling /usr/bin/klaptop_acpi_helper from svn should really fix that then, http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeutils/klaptopdaemon/acpi_helper.cpp?rev=409203&view=log Revision 403409 is the fix I was talking about. A brief look at the source should reveal which script is called, though. IIRC it was /usr/sbin/hibernate for suspend-to-disk. If you're not planning going through this hassle, and you trust me enough I could just send you my hand-compiled binary, it does work here (for S4 & S3 actually).

Heheh - we've all done those sort of things.... Today I was staring at a block of code that kept barfing during the build with "invalid use of 'this' in non-member function". A colleague walked over and said - "Duh - where's the class_name:: in front of the function?!". Sometimes you need to take a step away to see the wood for the trees. It's 2am here, and I'm taking a step away...to bed! Glad I could help out :) James -- A real friend isn't someone you use once and then throw away.
