Any Phonon problem should be debugged and talked to with the Phonon developer. 
Especially from KDE-Edu applications as some rely on sound to work.

What sound should be enabled? Can you hear any other sounds in KDE4? What is 
your libxine version?

Thanks in advance,

[kde-edu]: Hello kde-edu

Hello all,
I am joining this community and planning on working with KTurtle.  I feel
that KTurtle is a very good application that could still use a good bit of
work.

Between now and the KDE 4.0 release, I am planning on mostly polishing,
testing, and bug-fixing KTurtle.

About me:
I have been using Linux (Debian, then Mandrake (now Mandriva), then
Ubuntu) for about 6-7 years now.  When I first started I tried KDE, but
did not like it.  I used GNOME up until a few months ago when I decided to
give KDE another try.  I fell in love.  I like the general feel of KDE and
its applications.

At work, I am working on a multi-platform C++/Qt application.  My
experience with Qt is actually one of the factors in my decision to give
KDE another try.  I have been using C++ for several years, and Qt for the
last year.  I also have experience with C# and a few scripting languages.

If you want to contact me, send me an email  <at> 
jshipley <at> jshipley.homelinux.net .
I also have kde-edu <at> jshipley.homelinux.net and
kturtle <at> jshipley.homelinux.net which go to the same inbox and are
highlighted, so you can also use one of those.

Re: [kde-edu]: Hello kde-edu

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to KDE and the KDE Education Project! 

It's good to hear that KTurtle will receive even more love now than it has 
received in the past already. 
With the fresh air that has surrounded the other KDE-Edu apps recently that's 
an announcement that is very much welcome.

If you feel like chatting you might also join us on IRC (if you haven't 
already. - Actually I haven't been there myself since a few days, so I don't 
know.):

: KTurtle patch

I have a first patch ready.  The turtle pointed up at 0 degrees and moved
clockwise as the degrees increased.

This is different from the way it should work, ie right at 0 degrees and
move counter-clockwise.

I worked this one out during a lecture at school (I probably should have
been listening more, but...)

I don't have a kde svn account yet, so I am asking the good people on this
list to review my patch and check it in for me.

Thank you,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I reviewed the patch which is OK :)
The only thing I windered about was the cmath include but grepping kdelibs I 
found it used a bit versus math.h so it's OK (I was concerned about old 
compilers or non-linux systems)

I see that you have a svn account so I leave it to you to commit!

Re: [kde-edu]: KTurtle patch

Hi Annma,

I confirm that <cmath> is the proper name under which c++ programs should 
include the standard math header. You do raise a good about comptibility 
with old compilers; I have no clue whether there are problems in that 
respect; all I know is that I include <cmath> in Eigen and nobody ever 
reported problems (and Eigen has been used on many different platforms).

Cheers,
Benoit

Hallo,
I have a question to kmplot.
Is it possible to write the name of the graph in the drawin at the 
belonging graph ?
Thanks

Hi, not that I knew of. I just tried it - all I could find out: 
If you click on the graph in the lower right corner the correspoding 
definition (like f(x)= x^2) appears. This tells me: As there is no graphical 
representation of terms (as provided by GeoGebra using TeX-style libs), it 
wouldn't make sense. Rather edit the exported graph in GIMP or Inkscape or 
Krita...

Ralf

Re: : KTurtle patch

Right, it's just a C vs C++ thing.  <math.h> is the C way of doing things,
and <cmath> is the C++ way.  Either should work on pretty much any C++
compiler.
