Lord Of The Rings Wields Our Precious KDE.

"To the surprise of many, KDE turns up unexpectedly on the extended DVD edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Dan, Robert and Antonio were the first of several to point out that KDE was clearly being used by Weta Digital (likely on IBM Linux Intellistations) in an animation shot with Gollum and Sam. This isn't the first time KDE has been spotted either on the silver screen, television, or being used behind the scenes of Hollywood." http://dot.kde.org/1070079794/ -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."

So far I haven't had any problems w/ kmail, the only thing really bugging me is the wierdness with korganizer. I did a (fresh) ftp install of 9.0 on my test machine but I haven't used it enough to be sure that I'm ready to upgrade my main machine yet. Particularly w/ the potential re-installation of my self compiled progs and having to possibly re-do my configuration work. Are there any success stories of directly upgrading from 8.1 to 9.0?

Korganizer problem
by David Herman 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE 8.1 kde 3.1.4 When I doubleclick on an appointment in order to edit it Korganizer exits immediately. I've tried re-installing it, removing the config files from my home directory etc, all to no avail. The same crash happens w/ other users on the same machine. I can create a new event if I haven't selected a time in the calander section. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Ideas? - -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com (GoogleGear.com!) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/z+2PBwgxlylUsJARAkunAJ41zDhlSdTP4fyMhi/2fxKGVX+VZwCbBuCk 8q+oYjMmyhpatjIb0tSXbHo= =JyRY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

uuh? Kmail dives (crashes) now all of the sudden?
by Jaan Kold 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hmm...I'm using Kmail 1.5.4 that ships with Suse 9.0 and now it seems it just wants to just close by itself ie: "a clean crash" is what I'd like to call it within a few minutes I can't for the life in my guess what would suddenly cause this. I'm even afraid to type to much here...I've got some 400 emails in three folders -- not too much? Any ideas what may have caused this? ('me' is not what I mean...) jk -- Suse Linux 9.0 | 2.4.21-144-smp4G | KDE 3.1.4 | XFree86 v4.3.0.1

by Michael Eichstädt 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hello everybody, I face a little problem: sometimes when I want to write in a box on a web site (e.g. banking, google...) mozilla won't accept the keyboard commands. After starting mozzi again it works. KDE 3.1.4 Mozilla 1.5 (SuSE rpm) The same occurs with openoffice. Any ideas anyone? Greetings Michael Eichstädt
