And the follwoing error message goes to STDERR: QFile::open: No file name specified For some printers I was able to fix the problem by simply deleting and re-installing them. Others refuse to work even after that. For the ones that still don't work the test page (during installation) printed fine but the above error remains. Any hints? Any debug options I could use to get more information on the nature of the problem? Any good URLs describing the filter workflow and its config files?

If that is also the case for you, then you should be able to fix it: When the KPrinter dialog comes up, select Properties and find the Filter tab. You will probably have to use the scroll buttons since this tab is all the way to the right.

Re: recover data from a hd

One thing might be kind of a problem, however, since the hd is damaged at its very beginning and attempting to mount it gives I/O error on sector 0 and the consecutive ones. So the disk is not entirely dead as in not responding at all? Thats a start. So, is there a way to jump after those erroneous sectors and read what's left. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks! The usual procedure is to copy the entire content of the disk into a file on another disk and then work with that - i.e. try to find partitions and files. You can use dd for copying but dd will have trouble with unreadable sectors. You can tell dd to skip a certain number of block but that will only solve the problem, if the rest of the disk is readable. I have heard that people have succeded using dd_rescue. From the package description: dd_rescue is a tool to help you to save data from crashed partition. It tries to read and if it fails, it will go on with the next sectors where tools like dd will fail. If the copying process is interrupted by the user it is possible to continue at any position later. It can copy backwards. Sounds like this might be what you need. I have never used it, so don't blame me if it's not. cu and good luck Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - German National Research Center for Environment and Health http://mips.gsf.de/staff/pagel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Switch to external monitor defunct in KDE
Hello everyone! I have tried to find help on this issue in comp.windows.x.kde but have gotten no response so far. So I'm reposting my problem here... I am running Debian Sarge with KDE 3.3.2 and kernel 2.6.11.6 on my Thinkpad A21m laptop. On this machine I can switch to an external monitor or beamer by pressing FN-F7. This works fine if I am in the console or when running fvwm or Gnome. It also used to work in KDE a while back. Recently (probably after a Debian upgrade), this feature stopped working in KDE. The only way to get the desired result is to log out, kill the X-server with CRTL-ALT-DEL and quickly hit FN-F7 before KDM is launched. (Yes, the problem appears even before loggin in). So I guess, some component of KDE, KDM or KWIN or ... is doing something that prevents the switch. I had a close look at all kinds of settings in the KDE Control Center, the XF86config-4 and a few other config files without much success. Google didn't seem to bring up relevant hits either (maybe I didn't find the right phrases...). I checked the usual suspects in /var/log/ and .xsession-errors but couldn't find any messages that seemed related. I'd be greatfull for any hints where to look for the problem and how to make this work again. cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - German National Research Center for Environment and Health http://mips.gsf.de/staff/pagel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Debian 3.1 oder neue Erfahrung!!!!!!!
Zum ?Donnerwetter noch mal? wann begreift Ihr das normale User --- Augenmenschen sind und in aller Regel kein Englisch beherrschen und einen grafischen Desktop bevorzugen. Mal davon abgesehen, dass die meisten Leute, denen ich so begegnet bin schon etwas Englisch koennen, gebe ich Dir Recht, dass der Installer auch Deutsch sprechen sollte. Aus diesem Grund kann man gleich zu Anfang die gewuenschte Sprache einstellen. Auch wirst Du z.B. bei der KDE Installation gefragt, welche Sprache Du haben willst. Was das graphische Desktop angeht, verstehe ich Dich nicht ganz: KDE, GNOME und eine riesen Liste an anderen Windowmanagern/Desktopsystemen steht zur Verfuegung. Oder meintest Du einen GUI Installer? Letzteren bietet Sarge nicht, aber zumindest mir persoenlich fehlt er nicht. Bei der Installation ist mir die Optik nicht so wichtig wie Funktion. Und gerade die simple Benutzerfuehrung spricht mich beim SARGE Installer besonders an: klar, leicht verstaendlich und doch maechtig. Gerade im Vergleich zum Windowns-Installer finde ich Sarge erheblich einfacher! Wenn Du unbedingt was buntes zu Installation moechtest, dann eben nicht Debian, sondern vielleicht SUSE oder so. Mit diesem Textbasierten Müll könnt Ihr keinen aus der Windowsecke hervorlocken. Du meinst weil der Installer kein X-Window GUI hat, bevorzugst Du Windows? Dann darfst Du es aber nie selber installieren, denn es verwendet textbasierten Muell als Installer. Erst wenn das Basissystem auf der Platte ist, gibt es eine graphische Oberflaeche - genau wie bei Sarge. Debian wird installiert und wieder von der Festplatte geputzt. Dein Gutes Recht - es ist Dein Platte. Im Installationsmenü vorher Text oder Grafik anbieten? Wie gesagt, die Installation selbst ist nicht graphisch, aber natuerlich ist es ueberhaupt kein Problem, eine graphische Oberflaeche installieren zu lassen - also ist Dein Vorschlag laengst erfuellt. cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - German National Research Center for Environment and Health http://mips.gsf.de/staff/pagel -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.
