Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

I did it! Wow, I am amazed it was so easy. So far almost everything looks good. The only problem is that the system font is very tiny. So small I can barely see them. Thanks for the assist!

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Upgrade completed. About KDE shows Version 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0)

First observation is with fonts. In Konqueror > Settings > Fonts I can change the fonts, but the changes don't take. Can click on Apply and OK, but when you restart Konqueror (or even just go back into Fonts, the 'default' font settings have returned.

How does one change the fonts in Konqueror and have those changes 'stick' ?

I went to System Settings > Appearance > Fonts, and made changes there. What I have done for now is change the "general" setting from the default (8) to 12. This makes the K menu gigantic, so I right clicked on the K menu and changed it to the classic style, which makes it much more readable.
I am still looking to fix those tiny fonts on menus. I changed the menu font stting to no avail.

Well, I have the font changes working now. Not sure if it was changing the setting for Medium font size from 12 to 10 or .... but the changes are now taking. (This in Konqueror > Configure Konqueror > Fonts). Previously I had left that setting unchanged, and the font changes I made would not take.

I'm happy.

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Slight change of subject:
Samba differences

Samba shares with my vmware xp in HH 4.1 works fine.

The same in my HH debian 4.1 (as described above) doesn't work at all.
I can see my shares in dolphin / konqueor but not from my vmware xp guest.

Versions:
HH--> samba version 3.028a-1ubuntu4.4

Debian--> samba version 2:3.2.0-4

For clarity my smb.conf file:

workgroup = FINTANHOME
interfaces = eth0
map to guest = bad user

[Data]

path = /Data
read only = no
guest ok = yes
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
force user = fintan


[HP4200]

printing = cups
path = /var/tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes

obviously the user changes accordingly

Any ideas?

Update:
Samba shares work in intrepid after todays updates and forced samba install:
Samba version:
2:3.2.0-4ubuntu3

Now for my very stable debian
