Has anybody gotten spell checking of forms in Konqueror to work? I've tried right click on text area->Check Spelling, but it doesn't work.

It's been semi-broken for a year now. Hopefully will get fixed before release.

FYI You can control the master volume with the mouse wheel.

Hi!

I read about package dependences , and I think all It's right.

I have two compilation errors and I don't know why:

What really bothers me in kde is that all new windows seem to appear in the top-left corner of the screen. This is a lot better in gnome. If you close a nautilus-window and reopen it, it will reappear at the place you left it when you closed it. It looks and feels ugly when you start an app and the window get placed all the way up in the top-left corner.

Please, help me :cry:

I want to try KDE 3.2.0_beta1 but, whenever I try to emerge it, I can't do it because masked packages.
I have read the Portage User Guide and the Portage Manual. I have read that I can make a file named "package.unmask" under /usr/portage to unmask packages locally.
This is my /usr/portage/package.unmask:

When I use konq and go to audiocd:/ and try to copy the OGG files, audiocd bombs out on me.

Did i install something wrong, or is this a 3.2 bug?

Edit /usr/portage/profile/package.mask and comment out all the kde3.2 beta packages

Has anyone seen issues with excessive hard drive accesses using kde 3.2beta1? There was an issue with klaptop and the old version of qt, which I have addressed on my system, but occasionally when kde is under moderately heavy load (emerging a package, running xmms to listen to mp3's, browsing the web and running OpenOffice) the system will slow down and my hard drive light will be constantly on as if a lot of swapping is going on. I don't think that this is the case, since top tells me that the swap isn't being touched, and that my RAM still has some free space.

I'm using the 2.6.0-test9 kernel.

Also, if this happens again, are there any other diagnostics I can run to try to figure out what the problem might be?

[edit] Found the issue -- it was the updatedb process which was running as a daily cron job. Don't know why I didn't notice this before installing KDE 3.2 -- probably it was because with a new major software install I was more sensitive to things happening with my computer.

just thought I'd warn everybody about kmail. there is a new feature called 'disconnected imap'. It will cache the body of your emails as well as the headers. I've been wanting this feature for a long time.

I have 700 messages in my inbox. I was at work when I tried this out, and the connection to my imap-ssl server is somewhat slow. anyway about halfway through kmail got flaky and I killed it. come to find out it nuked about half the messages in my inbox on the server!

I found a bug for it on bugs.kde.org which was closed. I added a comment to it, so hopefully they'll reopen the bug.

fortunately I have backups that run every four hours. btw, check out the backup scheme, it's really cool if you have an extra hard drive to use for backups.

this will be the best kde ever

I love the new layout, the side bar on konqueror (home) is finnally useable, the desktop background settings have everything you need on one page (no more confusing tabs), the blue kicker with alpha blending is great!

I don't know if I care for the new fsviewpart , needs a little more work. it reminds me of one of the 3d file handling utilities, too much on one window, and no way to seperate the folders from thier contents, so that you can see only the portions of the tree you want to see. But a great experiment!
Perhaps if it were a little more useful, and easier to manage, and didn't take so much time to load.
I would love to see something like this that was usable, and so I guess I don't want to discourage, but I do think that it is going to have to be an opengl design with multiple ways to view it and you need to be able to manipulate the files.
I have always envisioned a basic scripting structure so that you could do linking and piping ...etc visually.
Dreams :wink:

Anyone else got horrible skipping in JuK under system load? It's a nice app, but unusable for me if it skips as soon as system load goes near 1.0
It happens on 2.4.22-ck2 as well as on 2.6-test9-mm2...

I also had the KDEAdmin compile problem, exactly like everyone else that posted, for me upgrading to autoconf 2.58 solved the problem though I was still getting the following message (just not sure for what):
