It might be that your fonts there are using another set. As my language is set for danish I expect the laguage default encoding is iso-latin-8859-1. I tried both to use default language default charset and indeed specifying 8859-1 in particular. It seems that this setting only apply to the 6 default fonts in same setting, where as a page like google specify "araial" as font family which then overides the default fonts, with a ... undetermined charset.

KBear?
by Patrick 07 Nov '02

07 Nov '02

Question! Why is KBear suddenly showing up in my Konq windows and putting a KBear icon in my systray since updating to SuSE 8.1? The kbear icon in Konq is quite alright and not a problem in the toolbar, but for each new konq opened, there appears a new kbear icon in the systray!! What is doing this and how can you stop it? A bug in the latest KDE somewhere? It wouldn't be as bad, if the systray icon went away with the konqs as you close them, but those just hang out in the systray. Thanks, Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As was said previously, KPackage is still in 8.1 (package "kdeadmin3"), it is just not part of the *default* install. Install that package to get it. The new feature where you get an overview of an RPM package by clicking on it in Konqueror (with a "Install with YaST" button) is completely independent and was made by SuSE. It is very nice, but often fails on RPM packages that are not made by SuSE... It is true that new YaST2 features are very useful and KPackage is not as important as before. Still, not always. For example, if you have a hundred RPM packages in a local directory and you want to install just some of them with dependencies taken in account, KPackage is still your only friend. ;-) - -- Thibaut Cousin E-mail : cousin(a)in2p3.fr Web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9x9lPv1vqsTa1E4oRAkpVAJ9yrUNaqtldoqVXfPffpra8PJ2iUQCggxWM ArA6E+BmG8Q4qKPxk8bsU8w= =e9/K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Faxing Incomplete

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After spending much time setting it up, I think I have faxing working. Today I started its inaugural fax by printing a Konq webpage. (yes, Konq rules) All seemed to go well, until I asked to view the prospective fax. All came up fine, except the form windows! This webpage uses forms, and the critical information here is invisible!

Kmail crashes when /home is nfs-mounted
by Anders Dahlqvist 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

I've got a dual-boot (SuSE 7.3, NetBSD 1.6) nfs server (loke). On my nfs-client(oden, SuSE 8.0) loke:/home is mounted on /home. loke:/home is an ext2fs-partition. oden runs fam. Regardless of operating system on loke kmail oden always crashes when I try to send mails. This never happens on loke. Clues, solutions? -- God made the integers; all else is the work of Man. -- Kronecker

by J. Jung 05 Nov '02

05 Nov '02

My problem is the following: - i replaced screen-saver ('kss'-file) with my own screen saver (contains lock) - if i configure this new screen saver in KDE without lock and wait the configured minutes, all is ok (the lock in my screen saver ask for pw) but - if i push 'lock screen' in panel or in menu which comes after right mouse click, KDE asks for pw and (!) after this my screen saver ask for pw :-((( In which way i can disable or replace (!) KDE-question for pw ????????? regards jj PS: with KDE3 i can replace /usr/bin/kdesktop_lock, but in SuSE 7.2 i can't find kdesktop_lock and no new process (!) during 'pw-question' __________________________________________________________________________ J.
