Forgive for cross-posting. I am trying to rectify an earlier error: Sent my SKDE reply to SLE... (I really need to fix this "send to the list" problem...) I got replies on SLE, advising to use xntp via YaST.

What app in KDE to autosync my system clock with NIST?
by Shriramana Sharma 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

In Windows, I used to obsessively keep my system clock synchronised with the NIST servers. I would like to know what app is available for the same in KDE, or if not inbuilt into KDE, then for Linux. The source code of the tiny app I was using in Windows is at: ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/daytime/ Can anyone please take a look at this and tell me whether this is compilable under Linux and if yes, then how do I do it? (I lack the expertise to determine this for myself.) Thanks, all!

k3b fails checking CDs with special characters
by Matthias Pospiech 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Whenever I burn a CD or DVD with k3b it fails checking on the first file with Umlaute or other special characters. System is 9.3 with UTF enconding. Is that a configuration issue or a nasty bug ?

GMail complaining about Konqueror
by Shriramana Sharma 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

When I login to Gmail via Konqueror, I get the following "advise": For a better Gmail experience, use a fully supported browser. When I click the "click here to learn more" I learn that Gmail has put me in simple HTML mode "which should be readable on almost any browser" but that some of the more fancy functionality would not be available. And it's true: it doesn't autocomplete previously used to/cc addresses, the "move to trash" combo box doesn't automatically work and I have to click a "go" button next to it to have my option executed, and so on. Do I file a bug with KDE or with Gmail? Anybody else has this experience?

Yes, I know, it is KHTML ported to Objective C++ with some modifications. I hope that the Objective C++ support in GCC well be complete soon- we can then port Webcore to GNUstep.

KDiskFree documentation replicated for KwikDisk?
by Shriramana Sharma 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

On my system, when I open up KDE Help Center and ask for the KwikDisk documentation, I am shown the KDiskFree documentation, and when I check the KDiskFree documentation (thinking it may have the KwikDisk documentation) it does have the KDiskFree documentation. Anybody else see this problem? (I'm now seeing this on Yoper 2 on my father's machine, but was just wondering...)

suse 9.3, kde 3.4.0: gvim session does not restore correct
by Günter Dannoritzer 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hi, I am running Suse 9.3 with the standard KDE 3.4 that comes along with it. In the control center I have enabled that the session should be restored as before logging out. That works fine so far, however, if I have gvim open with several files loaded, after logging into KDE again, gvim comes up empty. Now I was reading through the vim/gvim documentation and the KDE documentation and haven't found whether gvim itself or KDE is responsible to restore the buffers again. What I understand is that from KDE the kmserverrc file is responsible to specify what session needs to be restored. However, that file is only setup in my home directory if I store the session manually. When I do it, with a gvim open, I don't see an entry for that gvim session. Where else does KDE know to restore it? Gvim has the command :mksession <filename> to store the current session to a file. However, in order to restore that session gvim needs to be called with the <filename>. That sounds like KDE would need to initiate that command when shutting down gvim and starting it again with the session filename? Can anybody shed some light on where I have to look in order to get this going? Thanks for your help. Guenter

Double-click a text file in Konqueror to open it in Kate

Now, whenever I hit a text file in Konq, it displays internally. I want to disable this and instead have Konq load Kate with the file. What do I do? Where do I go? -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org (o- Penguin #395953 //\ running on ancient Indian wisdom V_/_ and modern computing efficiency
