Hi All Anybody knows where Kaudiocreator stores the ripped tracks? The help section is not working and I couldn't find an answer on Google either. I'm using SUSE 9.1. Thanks. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

kmenuedit woes
by ti＠amb.org 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

SuSE 9.1 Pro with the stock KDE 3.2 here. I added more items to my K menu using the menu editor (kmenuedit). All seemed to work ok because the K menu does show what I added. However, now if I invoke the menu editor again to make additional changes, I can no longer get into some of the submenus. Clicking the [+] box to expand that submenu just turns it into a [-] but it does not expand and show the subordinate contents. I looked around and found that the K menu is apparently defined in the ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu file, with additional definitions in the ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.local/share/desktop-directories directories of files. The latter two looks reasonable and correct, but the first file looks really messy. Seems that each time I moved an item in kmenuedit from one place to another, deleted an entry, or some other operation it pollutes the menu definition with lots of <Moved>, <Exclude>, <Deleted>, <NotDeleted> and other garbage. It looks really nasty. I saved a copy of the applications-kmenuedit.menu file and tried to "hand clean" it, and although I was able to get the K menu itself to look reasonable, kmenuedit still has trouble with it. After googling the web for solutions I came across suggestions about deleting the ~/.kde/tmp-hostname/ksycoca link, log out and let KDE regenerate them. Tried that and it didn't make any difference. It seems that kmenuedit is just awfully broken. Anyone else experiencing this? Any wisdom about potential remedies? -Ti

watch online-time on dial-up connection
by Sebastian Henschel 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

hello folks... an aquaintance of mine is running KDE on SuSE 9.1 on an ASUS M6800N. we are looking for a tool (preferably an applet for the kicker) which shows the online-time on a dial-up connection (modem). i realized that kinternet does not seem to show it, or is it hidden somewhere? we also tried kppp which fails with the following message (from /var/log/messages): Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp: No such file or directory does kppp show the time being online, anyway? are there any alternatives? i googled a little bit around but could not find such a nice applet like modemlights from the GNOME-project (which unfortunately needs the gnome-panel to function) for KDE. should we try harder to fix the problems with kppp? thanks in advance, sebastian

RE: [suse-kde] Leaky KDE? Spontaneous SPAM as screensaver.

Not so much a virus as a quirky screen saver. Have you checked your screen saver? Is it set to random? -----Original Message----- From: C.Huijgen [mailto:c.huijgen@casema.nl] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 5:40 PM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Leaky KDE? Spontaneous SPAM as screensaver. Steve Kratz and Dan Freed, greetings I will not repeat everything that was written, as the suse-kde site is ordered by thread. This way I win some space. Of course it is partially lost by this explanation and by writing "greetings" in stead of "hi". Anyway, I thank you, especially Steve Kratz, for your reply. Long ago I suffered from a virus that manifested itself by slowing down the system. So when I noticed such an effect on KDE (still unexplained!) I did not like it much. It now appears that SuSe build in an innocent virus by way of practical joke.

Profile for kmail
by Johannes Rieken 06 Aug '04

06 Aug '04

hi, I want to create my one font/colour profile for kmail. so, I copied one of the default file to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and changed the parameters. But I am missing some parameters -particularly the key to change the composer font. So, if anyone knows all the keys, please let me know. Cheers, Johannes [Fonts] body-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 defaultFonts=false folder-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 list-date-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 list-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 quote1-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 quote2-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 quote3-font=Helvetica,14,-1,5,75,0,0,0,0,0 //SOMETHING FOR COMPOSERFONT HERE

Leaky KDE? Spontaneous SPAM as screensaver.
by C.Huijgen 05 Aug '04

LS. The problem I met may not be new, but, to a lazy person like me, to sponge on the more knowledgeable is easier then searching the archives. So, on the assumption the problem is new, her goes. Recently I switched to SuSe 9.1 Linux for my internet work, assuming I would be safe from intruders. However, in the beginning my machine came up with SPAM-like "screensavers", offering Viagra, interesting pictures and a rigmarole about Jack working all day. As soon as I touched a key they disappeared, but immediately after that KDE, never lightning fast, reacted much slower. Logging out did not help; the computer had to be restarted. Recently (because I choose a "real" screensaver?) the problem stopped occurring. No harm done apparently. Nevertheless the situation is a bit disquieting; how can this happen? It does not seem likely that the "screensavers" were included in the software, if only because the purchased version is (almost) identical to the downloaded one. As I was physically connected to a server, they may have come from the outside, but how?? Is Linux leaky? A more practical question: "how can I solve the problem?" But then, maybe I already did. Ideas anyone? C.Huygen
