IRC Client Quassel Quashes Questions On Communications

Friday, March 27, 2009

This is my first post mentioning Quassel, but it will not be my last. I am going to skip the really significant features that Quassel brags about (with much reason), but point to this lovely screen shot. It demonstrates how Quassel shows a tiny preview of a link beneath your mouse cursor, keeping you from [...]

Success Upgrading to Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex

Friday, November 28, 2008

I’ve resisted too long. Finally I was coerced into it. After having spent a lot of time on a different project, I’ve tried to spend a little more time in KDE 4, and then Konqueror stopped working. It would give me a fatal error every time i tried opening. I found someone else reporting the [...]

How To Add Programs To Your Startup In KDE

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

I discovered the best way for me to mount my ssh shares via sshfs automatically when I log in. I add shares and folders from time to time, and I also wanted this technology to automatically be backed up for me, so I wanted the solution to lie inside my home folder. I did some [...]

Problems with kdesu via SSH after Hardy Heron Upgrade

Monday, September 15, 2008

I started encountering an error when using kdesu via SSH after Hardy Heron was installed. I’ve since upgraded to 8.04.1 as well and still am running into this bug.
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
kate: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0

I know I’m not the only Kubuntu user, and there is proof I am not [...]

Updates for KDE4 Reveal Fewer Crashes and The Same Big Problems

Monday, March 24, 2008

There’s been many updates to KDE4, and while spending another day with KDE4 yesterday, I was relieved to find many of the segfaults and KDE crash errors had been resolved. I was disappointed to not be able to find any way of saving my session for KDE4, other than it saving my previous session. I [...]

Changing AutoAction for Media Types in KDE

Wednesday, February 20, 2008

I recently made the mistake of auto-selecting the wrong action when I inserted a new blank DVD while at the same time telling it to not prompt me again. It really caused havoc when creating multiple copies in k3b. Fortunately the IRC channel was very helpful and NickPresta answered my query. To change these kind [...]

Browsing SCP and SSH

Saturday, February 2, 2008

Now that I’ve gotten my SSH server installed and working properly, I’ve found a need for some tools to work with that secure shell. KDE again comes to my rescue, and allows me to browse my remote secure shell connection right from inside of Konqueror. This makes it a breeze to copy and paste documents [...]

A day without KDE4

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Having battled with using KDE4 after a easy install in Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, I’ve discovered some of the shortcomings of the new desktop environment. I switched back to a KDE 3.5 session today, and what a relief! I figure I’ll continue to switch back and forth about every other day. This will let me continue [...]

KDE4 Install in Kubuntu Improves Performance

Wednesday, January 23, 2008

I first installed KDE4 yesterday, and I’ve been impressed with it. Not in the ways I expected, but at the same time disappointed and frustrated in other ways I was not ready for. Ctrl-F12 fortunately doesnt require three keys on the left hand for a normal US keyboard, but instead does require both hands, almost [...]
