If I remember correctly that was a timing problem and I added a filter 
matching every mail (From contains @) with Execute Command /bin/sleep 0.4s and 
made that my first filter.

But that was years ago, I don't know whether it's still necessary.

Konqueror needs Dolphin for file management, but now Konqueror is still KDE4 
based and Dolphin is already ported to "KDE5". Kubuntu provides an extra 
dolphin4 package for this use case.

I use Konqueror for remote file management (e. g. smb:, fish:), so KDE 
maintainers could you please also provide a dolphin4 package?

This text is from the audiocd-io source code:

"Unknown error.  If you have a cd in the drive try running cdparanoia -vsQ as 
yourself (not root). Do you see a track list? If not, make sure you have 
permission to access the CD device. If you are using SCSI emulation (possible 
if you have an IDE CD writer) then make sure you check that you have read and 
write permissions on the generic SCSI device, which is probably /dev/sg0, 
/dev/sg1, etc.. If it still does not work, try typing 
audiocd:/?device=/dev/sg0 (or similar) to tell kio_audiocd which device your 
CD-ROM is."

Maybe it helps.

indeed, 1.12/4.13 was the best version to work with an Exchange server. AFAIK 
with 4.14 "batch fetching" was introduced for better performance (and maybe 
less bandwidth). But Exchange doesn't like that. If a request results in too 
much traffic, Exchange just disconnects :-(

I added a workaround to the imap resource which works for me somehow, but 4.13 
worked better. See bug 339393 which is in 4.14.3.

So what are your problems? One problem I've is that KDE's repositories are kind 
of moving target due to the git transition and that some git repositories use 
KDE/4.6 as branch and some just 4.6. And of course it's not always easy to get 
all the dependencies right.

Do you use the Oxygen style and are animations enabled there? If so try another 
style or disable animations. You probably have to restart X (maybe even reboot

And if these dependences still take some time wouldn't it be a good idea

the same dependences?

OK.

What do you get for

glxinfo | grep -i opengl

You can also enable KWin's debug kdebugdialog which should put some

flash plugin on x86_64?!?

2006-11-12 Thread André Wöbbeking
Hi,

I need a 32bit chroot enviroment for two things:
1) flash plugin
2) OpenOffice

2) is now (Sid) available as native x86_64 package but flash is not 
(yet). Other distros like SuSE solve this problem with their bi-arch 
solution. Couldn't we do the same in Debian? All we need is:
1) lib32qt
2) kdelibs32 (at least some parts of it)
3) konqueror-nsplugins32
4) and of course the flash plugin

I hope that all dependencies of 1) and 2) are in ia32-libs.

What do you think?

KDE supports ipv6 but many DNS Servers are broken and Konqueror has to

I sometimes have this problem and thought that it's related to SATA. But 
I'm using reiserfs3. Do you've more infos about its problems under high 
load.

Of course KDE people love crash reports ;-) but

1) you should only report crashes of newer versions (stable is 3.3.x and 
uptodate is 3.5.x)

2) you need a backtrace of the crash (probably you've to install extra 
debug packages of the app)

3) before filing a bug report search the existing ones.

4) this site works for me with self compiled KDE.

No, sorry. It looks indeed very strange. You should get Control_L. I 
just looked at the settings on my HP laptop (nx5000) and I also use 105 
keys intl without problems.

Did you also configure X11 to use 105 keys layout?

Did you configure any XKB options in control center? You can also run

Thanks for your detailed explanation. I understand your concerns. I

But for the g++ allocator transition all KDE packages must be updated 
anyway. Now you want to update all KDE 3.4 packages to update them some 
days later again with 3.5 packages. Isn't that more work than to go to 
3.5 directly?

I'm running Sid and compile KDE 3.5 from SVN with GCC 4. The only 
problem I see is Debian's GCC configuration:

--enable-libstdcxx-allocator=mt

As workaround to disable these allocators I use 

export GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW=1

It's a fork of XFree86 4.3.xxx so it's more or less the same.

Do you've x-window-system (-core) installed? It depends on xserver-org.

Because you need a file system which handles small files efficiently 
(i.e. ReiseFS) otherwise you waste much space on your hard drive.

Do you really have to wait for xorg? Right now only sparc is missing and 
THIS blocks all other packages :-( Couldn't you upload Qt and KDE 3.4.1 
now and KDE 3.4.2 when xorg is built in all architectures?

Another issue is that GCC 4 still seems to be a bit buggy. I've to use 
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW=1 otherwise artsd crashes at KDE startup (I'm running 
unstable with recent packages).

as already mentioned before it seems to be an issue of XFree86. If
