kmail - mbox or maildir - which format is better?
by Matt T. 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hi, kmail gives you the choice to set the mailbox format to mbox or maildir. I understand that mbox is one single file with all messages for a folder in it and mailir is one file for each message in a directory (for each folder). But what are the pros and cons for each format, which one is better or better for what? Thanks, Matt

kmail crash
by oldkerosen 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hello I'm using a SuSE 8.0 Professional on my work and home computers. Last week I updated the KDE packages to kde 3.0.4 and from that moment my kmail crashes everytime I hit the "send mail" button. The packages were taken from suse's home page and installed with the rpm -Uvh command (no error messages by installation).First I thought that the problem is in kdenetwork3-3.0.4-6 package that I have now and that's way on my home computer I let it out by the update but anyway kmail crashes sending the mail. So I suppose the problem is in one of the other kde packages. For sending mail I'm using the /usr/lib/sendmail option, my kmail package has the 1.4.3 version. Here is a copy of a debug from the kmail crash: ################################################ (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

Konqueror: double-click to preview
by James Mohr 20 Oct '02

20 Oct '02

Hi All! How do I configure konqueror so that I need to double click the file to preview it instead of of just a single click? Granted I can press shift to get konqueror to select, rather thna peview, but I typically do not view files by clicking them, rather I more commonly select files to move, remove or copy them. I checked the Konqueror doc, but didn't find anything that addressed this. Regards, jimo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.

Re: [suse-kde] SuSE 8.1 woes (revisited): accented characters

After much probing I found a way that worked (at least on my machine, german keyboard without windows-key): Press Shift, then AltGr (not the other way round), then the special key '`" (<-key for ^) and then the vowel (unpress Shift/AltGr if you want lowercase).

SuSE 8.1 woes (revisited): accented characters
by Sven Ehret 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello List, Thank you for your responses to my keramik and OSS questions. I am happy that OSS won't stop playing my oggs. And I will look out for that special keramik compilation that will work with SuSE 8.1, but only if I find some real improvements in my intention to getting it to actually work. Oh well. I am already pretty fed up with 8.1 as I really can't say that it has improved since 8.0; instead, I am struggling _hard_ to get _at least_ the standard I was used to when working with its predecessor. I don't want to mention all the little things that work worse or not at all. But I keep getting surprises which make me constantly wonder if software is not supposed to GET BETTER in time instead of just the opposite. What's it for now? I was writing an email in kmail and saw that I typed "D'ecartes" instead of -- well, I can't write it because it DOESN'T WORK! I hope you all know what I intended to type: an e with an accent, because it's a french name. That way of typing special characters has worked in SuSE 8.0 just like it does in, yes, Microsoft Windows (TM) since Version 3.0 (correct me if I'm wrong). I read the recent dialogue between Kevin and Patrick but soon found out that his solution does not work for me. Pressing [Alt Gr] + <something> works for some keys. But pressing it with [E] produces €, which is fine, but I also have to write accented characters from time to time. I fear what to discover next. I am very seriosly thinking about uninstalling this newfangled 8.1 crap and moving back to 8.0 again, abandoning hours and hours and hours of struggling, downgrading back to 8.0 and trying to balance it to that way I had it in the remorseful moment as I inserted Disc #1 of 8.1.

how to type diacritical marks using a modifier key?
by K Pfeiffer 16 Oct '02

16 Oct '02

Hallo KDE List, On my laptop when it was running Windows I could hold down a modifier key to type special accent marks. For example, the right-Alt key and "p" produces the German "oe" (o with two dots over it). How can I do this in KDE/Linux? I've looked at the keyboard language settings, but to no avail. ALt-p produces nothing... :-( -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer International University Bremen

SuSE 8.1: Keramik Window Decoration (also: OSS sound driver)
by Sven Ehret 15 Oct '02

15 Oct '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello List, yesterday I installed version 8.1 of SuSE's distribution, and I'm still aching with it. Here is one of my still unaswered questions: Is it possible to have the keramik window decoration in SuSE 8.1? I have its keramik style installed and already click on shiny keramik buttons, but have no option to use the appropriate window decoration. I right-click on a decoration, then: Einrichten (must be "Setup"?) and Fensterdekoration ("window decoration"), but there is no keramik entry in the displayed list. I already used KDE 3.0.3 in my SuSE 8.0 installation. Installing the rpm I used there brought up the keramik entry, but not the right decoration; only some sort of ugly "standard deco". Come on, it has to work somehow, they advertise it's got the keramik window decoration included. And (I know this is the wrong list, but I'll make it short): on using xmms, I discovered that it has OSS sound drivers selected. They work fine with me, but don't they stop working after 30 days until you buy a registered version of this driver? I can select the arts driver and the visualizer field starts jerking around, but unheard; I can hear no sound. So: What's that with the default sound driver OSS and its "durability"? How can I change to arts drivers? - -- Sven Ehret - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
