I deleted the fonts.cache-1.gz as recommended in the README file on the suse server and this was enough for me. My problem is that I have on my home computer a Savage graphic card which after upgrading to xfree 4.3.0 started to make problems: the X server is running but when I move the mouse (logitech USB optical) I get on the screen a distorsion band of 20-40 pixels width on the screen. I tried reconfiguring with sax2 but this killed the X server every time.

No sarcasm intended ... if I cd to /root and type ls -l I see this: .DCOPserver_myserver -> /root/.DCOPserver_myserver_:0 If I try to edit the file I get: Bash: ./.DCOPserver_myserver: No such file or directory Press any key to continue ----- Eric Carbone > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Eckl [mailto:daniel.eckl@gmx.de] > Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 5:44 PM > To: Eric Carbone > Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Error on startup - KDE > > Hmmm, let me guess: > > /root/.DCOPserver_<servername>-:0 ? > > Daniel > > Am Montag, 3.

Error on startup - KDE
by Eric Carbone 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

A client of mine shut down their linux machine, moved it to another room, rebooted, and now they get this error on login: There is an error setting up interprocess communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list /root/.DCOPserver_<servername>-:0 Can anyone help me figure this out? They can't even log into KDE. If they enter the login/password they get the error message above. The only option is 'OK' which brings them right back to the login screen. ALSO ... I need to be able to log into this machine (which is set up across my VPN) and make the changes remotely (via SSH?) I can ping the machine, but I cannot SSH into it. Machine is running SuSE 7.3 Pro Help! --- Eric Carbone

Liquid style everywhere!
by Marco Rademacher 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hi fans of the aqua-looking desktop, I use Mosfet's liquid-style (http://www.mosfet.org/liquid.html), this looks really good (version 0.96pre4 is even better than 0.95) and it runs without problems. So I want to have it system-wide. To switch kdm is done from its config menu. Easy. But two more changes have to be done: 1. I want to use liquid as the kde-default-style, so that every user gets this style by default. How is the default-style set? Maybe a link or a line in a config file, but which? 2. It would be nice if also the GNOME-windows would appear this way, if they use a theme similar to liquid. Who knows, how this can be done? And could it be used for gtk-applications (like gimp) without starting gnome? Thanx in advance! :^) Marco

gtk applications look under KDE3.1
by oldkerosen 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hello I'm running SuSE 8.1 Professional under KDE3.1. After upgrading to KDE3.1 all the applications (applix5, gaim, unison, etc.) created with gtk(1) have a strange look under KDE. If I login under GNOME2 they look normal. Does anybody know what could be the reason? Tnak you.

xdmcp & firewall/routing? problem in suse-8.1
by Leendert Meyer 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hello all, Like Richard Bos ("activating xdmcp in suse-8.1), I'm also playing with remotely accessing X via xdmcp (kde-3.1, xf86-4.3.0, suse-8.1 on both pc's). I try e.g. "X :1.0 -once -broadcast" in a konsole terminal. With a firewall, I get these in /var/log/messages: Mar 2 23:10:58 cc22149-a kernel: SuSE-FW-ACCESS_DENIED_INT IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx SRC=192.168.0.2 DST=217.121.240.26 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=17 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=1025 DPT=6001 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A0000EDA40000000001030300) The reason is that the packet is sent to 217.121.240.26 (ext ip# on eth0), instead of 192.168.0.1 (int ip# on eth1). Both ip# represent the same pc. Port 6001/tcp is open. The firewall thinks it's being spoofed, and rejects. The routing tables might be usefull: Kernel IP routing table for pc#1 (ip# 217.121.240.26 and 192.168.0.1) Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 217.121.240.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default r1-lc3-fe0-0-2. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Kernel IP routing table for pc#2 (ip# 192.168.0.2) Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default cc22149-a.priva 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Who knows how I can solve this? Cheers, Leen

by Curtis Rey 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, so this has been a problem for a bit and I can't quite figure out how to fix it. When I try to access anything as root using in konsole sux or a kdesu flag I can't get anything but the root konsole to execute (konsole as super user). Konq and any other program won't go and I get the following message: Password: linux:/home/crrey # yanc linux:/home/crrey # Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified yanc: cannot connect to X server :0.0 linux:/home/crrey # /opt/kde3/bin/konqueror Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0 And so forth. anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

libkcm_konq.la...exists but not found
by Richard Andrews 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hi I have trawled through the list archives looking for a solution to this problem and have found several suggestions but unfortunately none that fix the problem on my system. The following error appears when I attempt to open a Kontrol Center module This example comes form trying to open the Desktop module under "Look and Feel" in the Control center) "There was an error loading the module : Details: The diagnostics is: Library Files for "libkcm_konq.la" not found in paths. Possible reasons: * an error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving orphaned control module * you have old third party modules lying around" Going through the different modules in the kontrol center I get reports that the following files are missing: libkcm_.la libkcm_.la libkcm_.la libkcm_.la libkcm_.la
