But before you complain about &kppp;, make sure you have already checked the following: + + +Can you dialup to your ISP without using &kppp;? If you cannot, then perhaps &kppp; is not the culprit after all. +Have you gone through the &kppp; documentation at least three times and followed its instructions and trouble-shooting suggestions? + +The &kppp; documentation can be accessed through the &kde; Help Centre. Last, but not least, the &kppp; homepage is at http://ktown.kde.org/~kppp/. +Now, if you still encounter problems, here's what might help you solve them: + +How do I change the &MTU; setting in &kppp;? +Open up the &kppp; dialogue box and select Setup. Choose an existing account and click Edit, or New to create a new dialup account. Select the Dial tab and click Arguments. Type what you want to change in the Argument textbox (⪚ mtu 296) and click Add. When you are satisfied, click Close. +To check whether the options took, do one of the following: + + +In a terminal window, run /sbin/ifconfig ppp0 and look at the reported &MTU; in the output. It should match your request. + +Add and (each on a separate line) to your /etc/ppp/options file and restart your &PPP; session. You will find debugging messages in /var/log/messages, including &MRU; and &MTU; settings. + +If you want, the &MRU; and &MTU; settings can be added to the options file, one complete setting per line, no quotes or dashes. + + +&kppp; connects at a slower speed than normal. +The following might do the trick: + +Try executing setserial spd_hi. +The default &MTU; value is 1500, which maybe too large for a dialup connection. Try changing it to a smaller value like 296 or 576. +Check in your $HOME/.kde/share/config for the kppprc. Ensure the correct modem speed is actually defined there. + + + + + + + + +&konsole; + + + + + +How do I page-up or page-down? +Use ShiftPage Up and ShiftPg Dn. + + + +How do I perform a simple copy from &konsole; to anything else? +When I do a ls, first I select with the mouse the desired text, press &Ctrl;C, then I make the target application active, point the mouse to the relevant part and press &Ctrl;V. Alternatively, highlight the text by dragging with the &LMB; down and paste by clicking with the &MMB; (or both buttons if you are using a 2 button mouse with 3 button emulation). + + + +Why can't &konsole; find the 9x15 and the 2 console bitmap fonts installed with &kde;? + + +FontConfig must find the three fonts installed in: $KDEDIR/share/fonts. If the &kde; install does not install these fonts in a directory that already exists (⪚ /usr/share/fonts) then you must add this directory to the configuration file /etc/fonts/local.conf. This should be the first line after <fontconfig>. For example: +<fontconfig> +<dir>/usr/kde3/share/fonts</dir> +</fontconfig> + After adding the directory, run (as root): fc-cache -v and check that it found the directory. + + + + + + + + + +&kmail; + + +&kmail; has its own home page at http://kmail.kde.org where an FAQ is available. + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
