|
<para>Does &krusader; need &kde; to
|
|
|
|
|
run?</para>
|
|
|
|

</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
|
<emphasis>No, &krusader; does not need the
|
|
|
|
|
&kde; window manager</emphasis> to run on your
|
|
|
|
|
computer but &krusader;'s natural environment
|
|
|
|
|
is &kde;, because it relies on services
|
|
|
|
|
provided by the &kde; base libraries. Only
|
|
|
|
|
some shared libraries are needed ⪚
|
|
|
|
|
&kde; libraries, &TQt; libraries,
|
|
|
|
|
&etc; This means that &krusader;
|
|
|
|
|
runs on &gnome-url;,
|
|
|
|
|
&afterstep-url;, &xfce-url; and
|
|
|
|
|
other window managers provided the approriate libraries
|
|
|
|
|
are installed on your computer. All this is not a problem
|
|
|
|
|
since the apt-get world can resolve these dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
instantly.</para>

|
|
<para></para>
|
|
|

<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
|
|
|
<para>You do not need to switch to the &kde;
|
|
|
|
|
window manager to use &krusader;; you can
|
|
|
|
|
still use &gnome-url;,
|
|
|
|
|
&afterstep-url;, &xfce-url; or
|
|
|
|
|
another window manager. However, the configuration of the
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; fonts and some behavior is done by
|
|
|
|
|
running
|
|
|
|
|
<command>kcontrol</command>.</para>

|
|
|
<para></para>

<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
|
|
|
<para>A lot depends on what you want to do with
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader;. You should know that
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; uses the &kde;
|
|
|
|
|
&tdeioslaves1-url; to access remote file
|
|
|
|
|
systems, and support for only a limited number of file
|
|
|
|
|
system types are shipped with &tdelibs-url;,
|
|
|
|
|
most of the &tdeioslaves2-url; are bundled with
|
|
|
|
|
&tdebase-url; (including fish, sftp and tar).
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you want the property-dialog to show
|
|
|
|
|
EXIF-data for .jpeg's, you need &kde;graphics.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want ID3-infos, you need
|
|
|
|
|
&kde;multimedia, and so on.</para>

|

<para></para>

<!-- Empty line to make it more readable -->
|
|
|
|
|
<para>To summarize, if you want a working
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; - install &kde;libs. If
|
|
|
|
|
you want a functional &krusader; then you need
|
|
|
|
|
&kde;libs + &kde;base. For maximum
|
|
|
|
|
functionality, &krusader; needs all of the
|
|
|
|
|
&kde; package libraries, but the
|
|
|
|
|
&kde; window manager is optional.</para>

|
|
|
|
usually provided by &krusader; users. Visit

your distro website and search for an updated RPM.</para>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>If the RPM is not OK, try to find another package

at &Linux; software archives such as

&freshmeat-url; or &kde-apps-url;.
|
|

If you still can't find the appropriate package for your

for it with &rpmfind-url; or

<para>In general, a package for an older version of your
|
|
|
|
|
distrubution or even for another distribution might work
|
|
|
|
|
on your computer (⪚ FC RPM's often work on
|
|
|
|
|
Mdk and RH, and vice versa), but it is always the best
|
|
|
|
|
that you install only RPM's that exactly match your
|
|
|
|
|
distribution. If you can't find a package that matches
|
|
|
|
|
your distribution version, architecture or distribution,
|
|
|
|
|
then use a source RPM. When you use a source RPM, the
|
|
|
|
|
Krusader sources will be built, on your computer,
|
|
|
|
|
guaranteeing a suitable binary RPM for your specific
|
|
|
|
|
distribution and architecture. In addition, this method
|
|
|
|
|
results in maximum system speed, since the resulting
|
|
|
|
|
binary is customized for your computer. Please read the
|
|
|

previous question, it explains how to install a source

RPM. The best solution is explained in the next

|
|
|

</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>This problem occurs when you use the
|
|
|
|
|
&nvidia; installer and not the official
|
|
|
|
|
&nvidia; packages of your distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; is based on &TQt; which
|
|
|
|
|
can be linked against the X OpenGL libraries. As a result
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; may look for OpenGL as well. The
|
|
|
|
|
problem is that the &nvidia; installer (prior
|
|
|
|
|
to version 7xxx) doesn't perform it's task properly: it
|
|
|
|
|
replaces the OpenGL header files (which get included into
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader;) but doesn't set the libGL links
|
|
|
|
|
correctly. The best solution is to use the
|
|
|
|
|
&nvidia; packages provided by your distributor
|
|
|
|
|
or a new &nvidia; installer, the current
|
|
|
|
|
version at the moment of writing is 7114. If, for some
|
|
|
|
|
reason, you must use an old &nvidia; driver,
|
|
|
|
|
one solution is the following hack, the exact commands
|
|
|
|
|
depend on the distribution used and the version of the
|
|
|
|
|
&nvidia; driver (6111 in this example), but it

<question id="faqu_supermount">
|
|
|
|
|
<para>When I try to mount/unmount my cdrom/floppy,
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; reports something about a
|
|
|
|

supermount, what's this about?</para>
|
|
|
|
|
</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Supermount is a daemon which handles the
|
|
|
|
|
mounting/unmounting of removable filesystems for you.
|
|
|
|
|
Just insert a floppy, and do
|
|
|
|
|
<userinput>
|
|
|
|
|
<command>cd</command>
|
|
|
|
|
<option>
|
|
|
|
|
<replaceable>/mnt/floppy</replaceable>
|
|
|
|
|
</option>
|
|
|
|
|
</userinput>supermount will do the mount for you
|
|
|
|
|
automatically and transparently. Usually this works fine.
|
|
|
|
|
However, supermount misleads the system into thinking
|
|
|
|
|
that the
|
|
|
|
|
<hardware>floppy/cdrom</hardware> is mounted at all times!
|
|
|
|
|
This creates some problems for &krusader;, as
|
|
|
|
|
it cannot really know when the floppy or CD has been
|
|
|
|
|
removed because the system information is not correctly
|
|
|
|
|
updated by supermount - is there really a
|
|
|
|
|
<hardware>floppy</hardware> in the
|
|
|
|
|
<hardware>drive</hardware>? Of course, this can be
|
|
|
|
|
solved, but as for now, we don't consider it a
|
|
|
|
|
priority.</para>

<question id="faqu_dead_mountpoint">
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Why does &krusader; freeze or hang on a
|
|
|
|
|
dead mountpoint?</para>
|
|
|
|
|
</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>When &krusader; is ⪚
|
|
|
|
|
browsing an NFS share and the NFS server goes down,
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; will freeze. This
|
|
|
|
|
&krusader; (and all other open internal
|
|
|
|
|
viewers/editors) freeze is fatal, and can only be
|
|
|
|
|
corrected with the
|
|
|
|
|
<command>kill -9</command>. We have no solution for this.
|
|
|
|
|
This is an issue not confined to file managers, or even
|
|
|
|
|
the &Linux; OS! The problem is that you "hang"
|
|
|
|
|
on the first access to the dead share - so there is no
|
|
|
|
|
way around it, no check to avoid it, even
|
|
|
|
|
<command>ls</command> will freeze. Just trying to read
|
|
|
|
|
something - anything - is enough to get you stuck. The
|
|
|
|
|
one and only way around this architectural problem is
|
|
|
|
|
using a multi-threaded design - this way if we get stuck,
|
|
|
|
|
we don't hang the entire application event loop, but we
|
|
|
|
|
don't think that the time is right for adding threads, we
|
|
|
|
|
are not sure that *all* the &tde; systems out
|
|
|
|
|
there are using &TQt;-mt (the multi threaded
|
|
|
|
|
version of the &TQt; library), and the Krusader
|
|
|
|
|
Krew may not be the right people to address this major
|
|
|
|
|
issue in any case; so currently this is just a bug we
|
|
|
|
|
have to learn to live with.</para>

we have improved this greatly: when downsizing the

buttons will look like 'F5 ..py'. When the button faces

are too small to read a tooltip will give the complete

text. The minimum width is 45 pixels for each

<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Krusader uses several programs as <link linkend="konfig-dependencies">external tools</link>,
|
|
|
|
|
and sometimes they appear not to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal and check if tool foo is installed.
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>foo</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check if tool foo is properly configured in the &konfigdependencie-lnk;.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Archiving tools: autodetect the archives again with the <guibutton>Auto Configure</guibutton> button
|
|
|
|
|
in the <link linkend="konfig-archives">Konfigurator archive page</link>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check the &konfigprotocol-lnk;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it doesn't work, backup your <filename>~/.trinity/share/config/krusaderrc</filename> configuration file and remove it from this location,
|
|
|
|
|
Restart Krusader, Krusader will now start the first start configuration wizard, follow these guidelines.

<para>How don't add ".part" suffix when copying files via ftp?</para>

</question>
|

<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>When uploading files a <filename>.part</filename> suffix is added to the filename,

once the upload is complete the filename is renamed automagically

This works great but sometimes some ftp-servers don't allow a rename operation.

For some reason some people think it's an other &kde; application, but it is not, so

you don't need to install the &kde; Desktop Enviroment to use Konfigurator.

<para>This error will happen on &debian; (or

|
|
&debian; based) distro with the
|
|
|

krusader_1.51-1_i386.deb package. You will see the next

|
|
|
|
error message if you try to open the handbook: "The
|
|
|
|
|
requested help file could not be found. Check that you
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<filename>
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/krusader/</filename>, you will
|
|

see the

<filename>foo.docbook.gz</filename> files. Now, you need
|

|

to extract all these files with root privileges
|

|
("File->Unpack" with &krusader;)
|
|
|
|
|
to create
|
|
|

<filename>foo.docbook</filename> files. Now the handbook

will work. This error is fixed in the

the patched module. In this sense, a software project

|
|
differs from, let's say a wiki: a software project
|
|

|
has to have someone to make all the final decisions.
|

|
Otherwise the software will not work. Furthermore:
|
|
|
|

keep in mind that the examination of patches might

take time, as we all have private lives.</para>

<para>How can i send good debug or crash reports?</para>

|
</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Usually binary packages that are been used by your distribution do not contain debug information.
|
|
|
|
|
Since we usually only develop and fix &krusader;-cvs, compile &krusader;-cvs in debugmode and install it, than check if the bug still exist.
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>./configure</command> <option>--enable-debug=full</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install <ulink url="http://valgrind.org">valgrind</ulink>, a suite of tools for debugging and profiling &Linux; programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run Valgrind/&krusader;
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>valgrind</command> <option>--tool=memcheck</option> <replaceable>{foo_path}/krusader</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The valgrind tool will write to stdout, what really happens.
|
|
|
|
|
If you could send these informations before the crash, it's almost sure, that we may fix or tell you what to do.

<para>What todo if the TDE crashhandler sends no usefull backtrace information?</para>

</question>
|
|
|
|
|
<answer>
|
|
|
|
|
<para>Usually binary packages that are been used by your distribution do not contain debug information.
|
|
|
|
|
Since we usually only develop and fix &krusader;-cvs, compile &krusader;-cvs in debugmode and install it, than check if the bug still exist.
|
|

<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>./configure</command> <option>--enable-debug=full</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the TDE crashhandler still doesn't provide usefull backtrace information, than sometimes a coredump will give better information.
|
|
|
|
|
Run Krusader, with disabled crashhandler.
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>krusader</command> <option>--nocrashhandler</option></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On a crash you will get a <filename>.core</filename> file, usually in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run <ulink url="http://sourceware.org/gdb/">gdb</ulink>, the GNU Project Debugger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput><command>gdb</command> <option>-c</option> <replaceable>corefile krusader</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now type <command>bt</command> to get the backtrace and type <command>q</command> to quit gdb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often the best debug results will be given when using the valgrint tool.

<para>In the spirit of freedom of speech, everything that

forum. It does not matter if you are a newcomer or an
|

|
|
advanced user, everyone is welcome. An open source
|
|
|
|
|
project's greatest strength is derived from getting user
|
|
|
|
|
feedback. That is why we love to hear what you have to
|
|
|
|
|
say. With your feedback we can make &krusader;
|
|
|
|
|
better and better; otherwise, we are not aware of issues
|
|
|
|
|
and ideas you may have. But please remember the

minimize the double/triple/... postings). If your issue

has already been discussed in the past there is a great

chance that you will have an instant solution to your

problem. If the issue is currently being discussed, you

|

can join in the discussion. Some questions are asked over

and over again, that's why we have created this
