Worst Feature EVER!

Hi, Please allow me to vent. What the hell good is overstrike mode in KMail? I claim less than none. (Apparently Piers Anthony disagrees...). I hate it! Can I disable it somehow, somewhere? I couldn't find anything via Web searching. Well, that really wasn't much venting, was it? Randall Schulz

What the FSK happened to my KDE?
by John Meyer 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I install the latest update, and I restart, and my KDE is screwed up. It looks like a comanglation of KDE and GNOME, no task bar on the bottom, and half the links got their icons and names ripped. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD5PC8j60GAoLuoDkRArcJAKCLz/RisDGUXbNmR0pdwql8c2WHOwCeOOIk 5l4UB5pY0zD8AaHBbF/lHXQ= =cN/Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Showing network activity icon
by Yaakov Chaikin 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Hi, I am pretty new to Linux and Suse Linux in particular. On windows, I am able to open "Local Area Connection Properties" and click off "Show icon in notification area when connected". This gives me a little icon by the clock that shows when there is activity between my machine and the network." How do I get the same thing on Suse? Thanks for your help, Yaakov.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Two questions: 1. How can I set it up so that firefox is used as the browser when I type in a URL instead of Konqueror? 2. Is there any way I can clear the history box for ALT-F2?

How to compile lineak_kdepluging
by Karaoulis Marios 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

I am trying to compile lineak 0.8.4 for my suse 10 64 bit. I have installed lineak ,lineak_defaultplugin nad lineak_xosdpluging. But i can't compile lineak_kdepluging since it cant' find the kde libraires Here is my configure script ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib64/qt3 --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib64/qt3/include --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib64/qt3/lib64 --with-extra-libdir=/opt/kde3/lib64 --enable-libsuffix=/lib64 --with-extra-includes=/opt/kde3/include But the script complains checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE libraries installed. This will fail. Any ideas? P.S. I think suse sholud be more carefur where it put the necessary libraries. Qt is in /usr/lib and kde /opt/kde . Mess... __________________________________________________ �� Yahoo!; �� (spam); �� Yahoo! Mail �� http://mail.yahoo.gr

Synchronizing palm-pilot with kmail
by Jan Neuhäußer 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Hello! I have installed SuSE 10.0 (the download version) and now am trying to synchronize my palm-pilot (it is an M505) with kontact using kpilot. After first tests it seems to work well for the addresses, calendar and activities. But: It only uploads new mails to the outbox in kmail and new memos to knotes. It does not downloads existing notes nor existing mails. Even in the configuration menue the tab for configuring recieving mail is missing! It is only possible to configure sending mails (with kmail - no other option, but I do not miss them, I do not want to use SMTP there, I wish to send my mails via kmail). Following some hints in mailing-lists I have already checked, that it's kpilot version 4.5.4 running, saying it uses pilot-link 0.11.8, and this version of pilot-link is installed. KDE is 3.4.2 level "b" and kmail 1.8.2. Any ideas what might go wrong? Thanks in advance, Jan -- Many greetings from Hamburg / Germany

Hi, I want to install the latest kde on my computer which has not a broadband connection.... I want to use kontruct, and i can download the neccessary parckages on my other computer. If i use cd konstruck/kde make fetch It does download the packages i want (not all , why?). If i copy this file tree on ly other compouter and use make install it will try to download again the packages. Is anyway to force the kontruct to use the packages i allready downloaded? . __________________________________________________ �� Yahoo!; �� (spam); �� Yahoo! Mail �� http://mail.yahoo.gr

Firefox and WMV Files
by William H Lugg 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

When I attempt to view a WMV file from Firefox, it always starts Kaffine which doesn't seem to work with WMV files. I downloaded MPlayer and that seems to work with these files, but how do I get Firefox 1.5 to run MPlayer instead of Kaffine when I click the file link? FWIW, I'm running SuSE 10.0 and KDE 3.4.2. Thanks -- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO
