Hello Marc,
Again,
You should try it, because I believe the two are related. Important is 
the location of krusader.rc and desktop.octed, which seems to be the 
problem. Missing mimes is just the consequence.

No, I hadn't tried this, but I just did for completion. It didn't

Your problem has already been narrowed down to be Ubuntu related, there is a

And reporting a bug whithout giving any details about your distribution, your 
compiler and the involved components, like Qt and KDE versions, is "the way 
to do it"? Thanks for your insight. It happens that most of the bugs report 
we get are distribution related.

The site seems to be down for maintance at to moment, so i can't see
it right now.

Here is an other url
http://morgoth.free.fr/ubuntu/pool/main/k/krusader-cvs/
It's Krusader-cvs from yesterday, i think it's a package for dapper.

Well, a guess is a guess, and that's why we diagnose problems.
Certainly, just because something doesn't happen on your system, which
happens to be Debian, doesn't for a second imply that the problem is
Ubuntu related.

The problem, as I see it, is that no-one is asking any questions.

But that's not the way to do it! First, you have to probe around the
problem, ask questions, think a bit, try things - on a system with the
problem... that's me . Hunching over a machine trying to
recreate a problem out of thin air is almost certainly destined to
fail, especially, as in this case, the starting environment is hugely

Guidelines are not going to solve the problem, though.

Sure, so spread the load and ask some questions. Someone must have a
vague idea of the general area  where the problem is. I'd
have a look myself, but I don't know the KDE libraries and have no
inclination to start learning them - I've plenty of my own fish to
fry.

If you can provide an updated package that would be great. The machine
that is experiencing this problem is a 'packages-only' machine without
a dev environment of any sort.

BTW, I also found this from backports:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.backports/994

It was only updated on 11 Aug. Don't know what it contains, though.

I read many mails, sorry if i don't read them all in detail,
and my native language is not English ;) (as most of the people on this list) ,
So, i (we) could also misinterpret some stuff.

I don't have this problem on an Debian distro, so i guess Ubuntu has changed
something that could cause the trouble.
Or the combination kde-Krusader-Ubuntu could cause the problem,
that is why we need feedback to fix it (if Krusader is the cause of
the trouble).

None of the developers uses Debian/Ubuntu (as far as i know at least) and
than it's difficult to help you (if they can't reproduce the problem
on their distro)
besides giving some general guidelines like Dirk has done for you.
And developers (and others) are also occupied with other stuff,
so it might take some time before you will receive a reply.
So please be patient.
If there is no reply than usually nobody knows the awnser, it's not so that we
ignore requests.

If there is a later package than the one I have:
krusader_1.70.0-1dapper0_i386.deb
then I'd be happy to try it.


Marc,
The easiest way to solve it is try compiling from source. If you are
not comfortable with it, I can send you my unofficial deb, but it will
take a day or two, since I'm not at home. If you chose not to compile
please tell which version of  Ubuntu you run. I compiled for Dapper.

Hope it works.

Okay, we have progress, sort of.

When launching root mode K from within K, or from the menu - which is
simply running krusader as root user, then I see the font problem.

However, if I launch with:

  sudo krusader

then the fonts are okay - and so are the icons - but I lose all mime
types. Also, user action don't work, nor most open actions - some
return "KDEinit could note launch ''".

Also, if I launch via kdesu krusader, or a menu item using that
command, then I have the original bad fonts and incorrect icons
problem.

If there is a later package than the one I have:

  krusader_1.70.0-1dapper0_i386.deb

then I'd be happy to try it.

No, this problem has nothing to do with mime types. I'm not clear why
you think it has.

It also has nothing to do with Ubuntu's absent root. I Debianise my
Ubuntu installs by creating a real root - as my explanation of the
symptoms makes clear.

Yup, this is precisely the behaviour I don't want. The fonts on the
app interface themselves isn't a problem - although it disturbs me
that the devs aren't interested in finding out why - but the menus
also exhibit the same large font and that us a nuisance. Also, some
apps launched via Krusader inherit the large fonts and that too is a
nuisance.

Hello,

This is related to the post Frank mentioned
http://krusader.sourceforge.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1512

The 1.70.0 version used different krusader.rc in Ubuntu when launching 
K! from terminal or from used instance. Again launching K! from within 
this root brings you to the correct root. The thing seems to be fixed in 
cvs after 03.08. It could also be Ubuntu KDE problem. There were some 
updates.

There is a tread about mime types errors when using root in Ubuntu
http://krusader.sourceforge.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1512
Not shure that it's related.

In my case i change the default settings (e.g. fonts) of my regular user,
but i don't change the root settings, and leave them as default.
So my regular user and root user have different font settings, but i
like it this way :)
because the font reminds me that i'm a regular user or a root user.

I don't. Quite the opposite, which is what I said. But, I see how you

I any case, that was not the main thrust of the problem I was

Yes, as I detailed in my last post, I ran one set of tests in root and
one as a regular user. This was in an effort to be helpful.

I'm sure that it works fine in most case.

In this case, I am using Ubuntu. If there is a problem, then please
let me know what it is and I can circumvent these issues that exist
with Krusader.

Why do you expect that the fonts are changed for root here? Did you run 
kcontrol as root?

I can't reproduce any wrong behaviour here. When i start Krusader as root, it 
has the red icon, says "Krusader - ROOT PRIVILEGES" in the window and takes 
the font and icon settings i made in kcontrol as root.

Do you by chance use Ubuntu? As far as i remember there are some unresolved 
issues with the root user.

And by the way, what Krusader version are you using?

bye,
Dirk

Indeed. That's the reason for taking the effort to log in to root
under KDE to see what is going on.

Yup, that's what I'm saying: the font size that, I presume, is
determined by the settings in root are not being applied to the root
mode Krusader - when not logged in as root. Hence, the difference shown
in the image that I linked to.

Let me demonstrate the problem in another way. I log in to root in
KDE for the purposes of debugging. I load Krusader and, from it, start
root mode Krusader. This image:

  http://www.auxbuss.com/temp/snapshot1.png
  
shows root mode K on top of regular K. Note that the fonts and the
icons are different - although we are definitely using the same user.

The KDE fonts (as defined in Control Centre) that differ in the image
are:

 - Menu (one item)
 - General (three items)

Note that the text showing disk space, the command line are and the
F-key font also differ, but are not controlled via KControl. Where
does Krusader get them from? (Not the panel, which we know about.)

Also, why are different icon sets being used?

Here's what happens when I enlarge the Menu and General fonts in
KControl:

  http://www.auxbuss.com/temp/snapshot2.png

The root mode K changes, but the regular K is unchanged.

Something is clearly not quite right.

Back in non-root userland, here's the same thing - root mode K on top of
regular K. This time, it is the regular K whose fonts change.

  http://www.auxbuss.com/temp/fred1.png
  http://www.auxbuss.com/temp/fred2.png

Notice how the initial font sizes differ, although both root and user
have identical settings - according to KControl - and how the root
user is showing the default icon set. After enlarging the fonts, it is
the non-root K whose fonts enlarge and not the root K, which is what
you would expect. However, the fonts - and icons - should be the same
initially.

Yup, I know.

Cheers,
Marc

Hi Marc,

not sure if understand you correctly, the "all other apps behave normally" 
confuses me a bit. But overall that doesn't sound like a bug to me. Two 
different users, two different settings. 

To change the font settings for root:
- Become root: $ su -
- Launch KDE's Control Center and change the fonts
Note, that Krusader has it's font settings for the panels, so you have to 
change that independently in Krusader's Konfigurator.

Best Regards,
Dirk Eschler

Should I log this as a bug?

What is the process?
