| ==Issues==
| |
| The following may reflect [[User:Woozle|my]] own ignorance rather than an actual shortcoming in Linux:
| |
| *Development
| |
| **There appears to be no mechanism corresponding to [[ActiveX]] (as used for desktop app development)
| |
| **There appears to be no application corresponding to [[Microsoft Access]]. Yes, you can do all the same stuff with various available tools, but not quickly; v2.0 of [[OpenOffice]] is apparently going to include a tool which may be a step in the right direction...
| |
| *Regular Use
| |
| **In Windows, if you create a link to an executable script (batch file -- *.bat) on your desktop (or anywhere), the link is executable with a double-click. Under KDE (in [[Ubuntu]]), I can't figure out how to make it execute at all without using a terminal.
| |
| ==How To==
| |
| *'''Time Zone''': If the [[KDE]] Clock-setting widget seems to be refusing to set the time zone (or your system clock is refusing to show anything except GMT time), this command may work:
| |
| ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/NewYork /etc/localtime
| |
| ...where "/America/NewYork" should be replaced by the appropriate file for your time zone. I have not been able to find any documentation on this feature; the command was suggested to me by someone on the #kde forum at irc.freenode.net (see [http://freenode.net/]). Remember to use the console "date" command to verify what the system clock is currently set to. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 08:45, 23 Apr 2005 (CST)
| |
| *'''Emptying the Trash''': KDE does have trash-management built in, but it's not made obvious. You can do any of the following:
| |
| **Navigate (in Konqueror) to "trash:/", then right-click on the panel showing the contents, and select "Empty trash".
| |
| **Right-click on the applet panel and add the Trash applet, then left-click on it to use its various functions.
| |
| **Create a new URL link on the desktop, give it the URL "trash:/", then right-click on it (my preferred solution). A trashcan icon is available in the "filesystems" icon group.
