Collect tips for using Linux desktop software in KDE

This is the purpose of this Article. Some tips are collected over the Internet, some are self-experienced, and some are slightly corrected. I want to organize a number of commonly used, rather than KDE software, to benefit you.

1) Accelerate KDE

Do you think KDE sometimes shows a little slow or even slow in some places? In fact, this is a Bug of KDE, that is, the font issue. In [control center]-[appearance and topic]-[font], if the image is set to Monospace or Serif or Sans Serif, changing it to another font you like can speed up KDE. Because Serif fonts are actually virtual fonts in fontconfig, and KDE is currently dealing with this issue, which will cause a huge reduction in performance. The official saying is a Bug and hopefully it will be corrected in the future. Similarly, changing the font in the Konqueror settings can also improve the Konqueror performance. We recommend that you use wenquanyi.

2) how to delete unnecessary items in the "application" menu?

Some software projects you don't want will appear in the Start Menu. The software cannot be deleted due to dependencies. You can delete software projects in these menus.

Rm/usr/share/applnk/folder of the item you want to delete/the item you want to delete
Rm/usr/share/applications/items you want to delete
Rm/usr/share/applications/kde/the item you want to delete

3) Acceleration of Konqueror startup

[Set]-[configure Konqueror]-[performance]-[pre-load]:

Set [retain the number of pre-loaded instances] to 2. Select [pre-loaded instances after KDE is started] and [a pre-loaded instance is required]. How is it? Is it faster to start Konqueror now? Opera is not comparable, let alone Firefox like the tortoise.

4) Konqueror tag browsing

Like Firefox, Ctrl + Click is opened in the new tag. Further settings: [set]-[configure Konqueror]-[Web behavior]-[tag-Based Browsing]-[advanced options]

Select the [show close button instead of the website icon]. Then, a button on the tag can be directly clicked to turn off the tag.

5) Konqueror "Dog Skin plaster"

Press Ctrl, do you have some strange yellow-colored things on the screen like a dog skin plaster? In fact, it was designed for notebook users. You can see that each plaster contains a number or letter corresponding to the keyboard. Pressing that key is like clicking the plaster place with the mouse, of course, plaster appears in links, buttons, and other places on the webpage. This is a very user-friendly setting! If you do not like it ~ /. Kde/share/config/konquerorrc:

[Access Keys]
Enabled = false

You can disable it.

6) Konqueror flash plug-in

If you have installed the flash plug-in for Firefox, [set]-[configure Konqueror]-[plug-in]-[scan new plug-in], you can scan the Firefox flash plug-in, you can use it normally.

If there is no Firefox and no flash plug-in is installed, download a tar.gz package to the official website, decompress the package, and put libflashplayer. so to your desired location. Add this location and [scan for new plug-ins.

If the problem persists, it is estimated that konqueror conflicts with flash and konqueror is upgraded.

7) Check man and info in Konqueror,Use ssh to manage remote files, view basic computer information, and view documents shared by Windows Lan computers

Enter man:/konqueror in the address bar to view the man page of konqueror.

Enter info:/cvs in the address bar to view the cvs info document.

In the address bar, enter fish: // user @ host and enter the password as prompted. How can this problem be solved? Is the remote file displayed?

Enter sysinfo:/in the address bar to view basic computer information.

Enter smb:/192.168.2.xxx in the address bar to view the computer sharing documents with the IP address of xxx in the Windows Lan.

8) ktorrent occupies a lot of cpu resources.

In the settings, increase the time required to refresh the ktorrent interface to 2 seconds. The cpu usage of ktorrent is immediately reduced. The interface displays the information of the downloader and the downloaded block on hundreds of connections, and is constantly refreshing. Therefore, the two options are also removed, which is very satisfactory.

Sometimes the [engine] is changed to bittorw.com, And the download speed is slightly improved.

9) gmail's kmail settings

Select "login" for the authentication method ".

10) amule Configuration

The best ID is [CHN] [VeryCD] xxxx, And the ing port of the router is 4662 4672 4665.
