Many KDE users report problems using Kppp. But before you complain about Kppp, make sure you have already checked the following:
The Kppp documentation can be accessed either by browsing KDE Help or going directly to the documentation directory, usually $KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/default/kppp. In addition, there's a web page on "How to set up kppp with ISPs in the UK" at http://www.kppp-archive.freeserve.co.uk/.
Now, if you still encounter problems, here's what might help you solve them:
Well, guess what? Linux, KDE, kppp, etc. have nothing to do with providing you with a valid DNS. That is the responsibility of your ISP. So write them a nice friendly letter asking them to provide you with the necessary information to set it up.
Open up the kppp dialog box and select "Setup". Choose an existing account and click "Edit...", or "New..." to create a new dial-up account. Select the "Dial" tab and click on the button that says "Arguments". Type what you want to change in the Argument textbox e.g. mtu 296 and click "Add". When you're satisfied, click "Close".
To make sure the options "took", do one of the followings:
If you want, the mru and mtu settings can be added to the options file, one complete setting per line, no quotes or dashes.
It is stored in $HOME/.kde/share/config/kppprc.
The following might do the trick:
mru 296
mtu 296
This application comes with a fine documentation called "The Kscd Handbook" which can be accessed through KDE Help. Make sure you have gone through it thoroughly before you ask anything.
If you've read up, you wouldn't have to ask.... There is a little button on the interface that has a 1 and 0 that is supposed to look like an on/off switch. Clicking on it will exit the CD player. (It is located in the lower left hand side of the CD player.)
Current snapshot of Kscd has solved this confusing behaviour by making the X close the window and where the 1 0 was is now the "DOCK" button.
If you are using version 1.2.0, try upgrading.
Create a symlink from the actual cdrom device to /dev/cdrom. For example: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom.
An easy way to find out your actual cdrom device is to look in the file /var/log/dmesg for a line similar to:
hdc: CD-ROM 48X/AKU, ATAPI CDROM drive
Use Shift+Page-up and Shift+Page-down.
Look under Options->Terminal of your kvt window.
When I do a ls, first I select with the mouse the desired text, press CTRL+C, then I make the other app active, point the mouse to the relevant part and press CTRL+V. Alternatively, highlight the text by dragging with the left mouse button down and paste by clicking with the middle button (or both buttons if you have 3 button emulation set and you are using a two button mouse).
Try: kvt -sl <number>
By the way, if you execute kvt with some unknown option eg. kvt -x, kvt will print out a list of valid options.
KOffice's home page is at http://koffice.kde.org/, and the answers to some FAQs concerning KOffice can be found there. Therefore, I will not repeat those answers here.
It's in the kdelibs/kdeutils subdirectory but you would probably need libkdeutil as well. To get this as well as the header file, unless things have changed since a few days ago, pass 'EXTRA_SUBDIRS="kdeutils kio"' to make -f Makefile.cvs, make and make install when you build kdelibs.
Please look in the corba package for this header file. It should be in corba's include directory.
The one which comes with KDE 1.0 is unfortunately quite buggy. Upgrade, and your problems would (probably) disappear.
Open up the Settings window from the file menu. Click on the Network tab. Select your account from the account list and click the Modify button. This dialog contains the "Delete mail from server" setting which you must not select.
The text footer is called a signature file. What you need to do is open up a text editor (like kedit) and type in what you want to appear in the footer. Save the file under a name like signature or footer. Go into KMail and select File | Settings... Look in the "Identity" tab for the "signature file" field. Click on the ellipses button and select the file you just created. Now KMail will automatically insert that file in any message you write.
KBiff is a mail notification utility and its home page is at http://home.sprintmail.com/~granroth/kbiff/index.html.
Are you getting many mails in both mailboxes? If so, it would be better to use two instances to monitor them. If not, then go to the 'Mailbox' tab and click on the little mailbox icon. This will create another mailbox in that instance. Now, whenever either of them gets new mail, KBiff will do all of its new mail stuff....
It's a bug, albeit easily fixed. Just resize it by a few pixels and everything should be all right.
