superkaramba and SUSE
by Malte Gell 12 Jan '06

Hi there, what I have wondered for a long time: is there a special reason why the popular "superkaramba" program has never made it into SUSE´s KDE packages to the present day?

I guess some people already start to groan about this topic ;-) I have no strong opinion about the issue and whatever is the standard for this list is fine for me. If I was the list maintainer, I'd simply decide to _not_ put the Reply-to header. Better to resend a message to the list than to have real private stuff going public accidentally. I've seen this happen so often and it wasn't always entertaining. Just my 2 cents ;-) Ingo -- Ingo Strauch ---- Registered Linux User #227900 (http://counter.li.org/) GPG Key Fingerprint = DEC8 1B12 9573 6BE7 7A99 C33F 809C 8C2C 772E 66A1 http://www.the-one-brack.org/linux/

Hi! Should I have set the Reply-to header to the list? I received several replies in private. Which should have been sent to everyone or at least to the original poster ;-) Cheers, Ingo On Thu, 12 Jan 2006 09:15:36 +0800 Joshua Raphael Fuentes <joshuarpf(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I think all you need is the support for mp3s.

amarok & CDs
by Bob S 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hello SuSE people. Just upgraded to 10.0 from 9.2 Used to use Xmms to listen to my CDs' mp3s' etc. Couldn't load any music into it so I decided to try amarok. First I had to change the engine from helix to xine (whatever the helix engine is) Now I can load and play my mp3's wav's etc. from the hard drive. Cannot however, make it find and play a music cd. Will it do that? or is it just me? Must have spent an hour exploring the menus without any success. Somebody put me on the right track here? Bob S.

kmail change ??
by Bob S 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hello SuSE people, After upgrading from 9.2 to 10.0 and KDE 3.5 I see some changes in kmail. (Really wish they would stop "improving" it. Worked great in 9.2. It used to be that when I was in a folder eg: suse-kde, I could click new message and the new mail format .would come up from me, the sender, and be addressed to the list automatically. All I had to do was write the message and send it. Very convenient and easy. Now there is no "New message to Mailing List" The old "Reply to Mailing List" is still functional. Is it just me? Am I missing something? Or have they broken a great function in kmail ? Hmmmmm.. do I need to file a fix-it report to kde? And what is this new "via" thing they have added. Not necessary with the old and proper setup. Anyway, thoughts, advice, shape up buddy-you're missing it ideas? Bob S.

Hi Thanks for the answers. Im a newbie at linux so I cant edit files and so on but have I understood you right that for example firefox and azureus is best suited for GNOME?? If that is the case maby it is better to run the GNOME at least until Im more used to the linux enviroment. Have only run it for about 2 veeks and there is not alot of lab time when I have small children running around :)....

Hi Have tried that but there is little or no difference. The cange becomes most visible in the (Blue) list at the top in my firefox right now but the meny field and bookmarks toolbar and the tabs are still with verry large fonts. And if I start Azureus all the fonts in the program is verry large still.

Unable to find settings in 10.0 KDE
by Per Kustemo 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

Have a laptop with 17" screen so the resolution is 1920* 1200 so I like the fonts, icons to be pretty small so I can have multiple windows beside each other. The problem I have is to find the setting so that all programs meny and so on at the top becomes smaller, like for example in FireFox with the tabs and all above or like in Azureus that I installed today also, there all text and icons are really big. Is there a setting so it changes for all the applications? Only see settings for separate programs and not all the settings I want. Used the GNOME before (and there all settings was OK) but I wanted to try the KDE so I installed it today. Would really want to find this setting cause I like the KDE better so far. Regards /Per
