This is basically a caution. I dist-upgraded. Things seemed to go pretty fine. However, browsing in Firefox (1.5.0.4-3) is kind of wacky at the moment. Much text won't show up until the mouse cursor is positioned over it, and the layouts are borked. Just a warning!

Ok, I did 2 d-u's, one I dropped down to init 3 and it went smooth, fonts look horrible

The second one I used h2's script, again all went smooth, fonts look horrible Winken

I will work on fixing my fonts, otherwise very smooth for me (maybe not for everyone)

No problems with firefox (except fonts), themes and extensions work no problem so far

EDIT: I have been using tahoma fonts lately instead of my favorite, (freesans bold) what I did to fix the problem I had was to change fonts in firefox, close it, open it and change fonts again, close it, open it and everything is fine now Winken

Exercise caution, do not do this dist-upgrade, here are two screen shots of what is going wrong with gtk apps, all of them, including firefox, for some users, like me:

This is the 'help' -> 'about' item in gtkam:
bad gtk: http://techpatterns.com/images/web/gtkam.png
good gtk: http://techpatterns.com/images/web/gtkam-full.jpg

If this happens to you, every webpage you visit will look like the bad gtk shot, only first word of each line displays, per column. Very disconcerting.

kde stuff is alll working fine from what I can see so far.

I restored the box that had the broken gtk, then installed only the new libgtk2.0 stuff, to see what caused the gtk apps to fail, but with the new gtk libs and no new kde, the gtk apps are fine, so it looks like it might be some mixture of kde 3.5.4 and the new gtk stuff, or just kde 3.5.4 alone

solution from debian kde team for above issue:

Zitat:
you have to go in kcontrol
disable antialiased fonts
save
renable again and save
there was a bug in 3.5.3 that made kcontrol use a bad setting name in the config file
it's reverted in 3.5.4 but has that effect for /some/ 3.5.3 users

I didn't have the "disappearing text" issue, but the fonts in GTK apps were quite bitmappy after the upgrade. Setting sub-pixel hinting to Full took care of that.

resetting the antialiasing fix is apparently also taking care of the grainy fonts in gtk apps too, that's a very easy fix, so try that first if you see this issue.

I'll upgrade tonight, but before I do I have a question.
I don't have kcontrol centre on my box, so how do I go about (if necessary) disabling/enabling antialiasing fonts?
Thanks

KDE 3.5.4 seems to work great, still have disappearing fonts in synaptic, do not use firefox but mozilla, fonts were always great with it.

hubi, did you try unchecking / checking anti-aliasing fonts in control centre? This solved the Firefox problem and I don't appear to have any other problems in synaptic etc. etc.

Can anyone tell me if these fonts/gtk problems are confined to KDE? I'm usually in xfce.

There seems to be a reproducable problem with mountig as user (DVD, CD, USB-devices), I only get the following message by kio_media_mounthelper:
Zitat:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

Changing permissions in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf does not help in any way.

I wonder if someone could get the diff of the config file before and after doing that fix, and create a script applying that diff. In that way, we can avoid going back and forward in X


or can be this done with dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-conf ?

drb,
unfortunatelly, unchecking/checking AA did not help here (did it as root because of synaptic).

About mounting as user:
pmount and pumount are working.

I can reproduce the mounting error.

the drive is recognized, but not mounted. Icon appears on desktop, mount option is present, but when tried that error message pops up.

Thanks for noticing that hubi, now to find the solution

Just reported a bug against kdebase-kio-plugins 3.5.4-2. Think that's the candidate for the mounting problems.

great, shouldn't be long for the solution.

Music cds etc seem to play fine though, since they aren't actually mounted. Only data type mounting isn't working.

If you like to mount the devices graphically, then you can take the filemanager of XFCE named thunar (apt-get install thunar).

Just got an answer to my bugreport:

Zitat:
The root of the problem is bug #377689 in HAL. Feel free to read that
for more details. You can work around the issue for now by ensuring
that all your drives have lines in /etc/fstab with the "user" option.

Cheers,
Christopher Martin


It was my second bugreport at Debian in my life, but what I really adore is, the answers are delivered quickly, precisely and very,very politely.

Yes, I had the first part of the solution from the debian qt-kde team in about 1 hour after posting on their irc channel, same story, solution, polite.

I am new to kanotix, and did a "test install" (2005-04) weekend before last (7/22) to play around with. I was nervous about using kanotix because it's based on unstable, while on my old system I'd been using libranet that I'd updated to sarge.

During my test install I could easily apt-get some kde things like celestia and an internationalization package. This past weekend (7/29) I found I couldn't, at least not without upgrading some bits of kde to 3.5. This thread cleared it all up for me, I was wondering if I was going nuts.

Two questions, because I'm unfamiliar with how unstable and testing are updated:

1. Does this type of thing happen often, where versions of important software are upgraded (i.e. 3.4.x --> 3.5.x) within the release?
2. How long should I expect to wait before it's safe to upgrade all of kde to 3.5 so I can get my toys?

For the mounting issue with KDE 3.5.4 Kano provided informations in the german language forum for a workaround (which might be gone after the next update of hal, or better: might be irrelevant by an upgrade from Sid).

Here it positivly affects USB-devices (sticks, hard-disks - YES: I can mount them!), it does not affect DVDs or CDs here (IDE-connected DVD-writer).

The workaround is to edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf as root and change the last paragraph to this format:
Zitat:
<!-- You can change this to a more suitable user, or make per-group -->
<policy group="plugdev">
<!--
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
-->
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
Just check if the user is member of the group plugdev.

Just for the sake of good sleep, I backed up the original hal.conf:
# cp /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf.original

Please check also if you really do not need the first two lines, otherwise delete the "arrows".

It might be the maximum I can get out of this situation.

hubi

The fix for the poor fonts in FF and gtk worked for me. Just unchecked, saved then rechecked "Use antialiased fonts" box in kcontrol. Now I am happy Smilie
