It is probably easy but....................? When I print a page say of Konq., I get the most weird font not readable with my eyes. :-( Where do I change this to a more normal font? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

XD2 broke KDE?
by Mel Andres 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

When Ximian Desktop 2 came out, I thought it would be a good time to check out Gnome, as I had only used KDE. I liked some things, but in some ways I found it limiting. When I try to change my session to kde, I end up in fvwm2 instead. So, I tried to upgrade kde to 3.2, hoping that would get me back to where I could choose either session type at login. I ended up with a kde session inside of the XD2 environment. Pretty weird, perhaps I should of invoked the kde environment from run level 3? Rebooted, and I am back to where I started. Since reading the subsequent problems with kde 3.2.0, I decided to put this on the back burner for awhile. Shouldn't I be able switch environments at login? It would be really nice if I could have one desktop running XD2, and the others in kde. Mel -- <<< Registered Linux user #347871 >>>

Problems starting KDE
by P C 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

i recently installed Suse 9.0 on my machine, and things were running fine. Then i decided to update the KDE, which i did and that went relatively smooth. Now just the other day, i did Suse's online update. and pretty much updated everything. it seemed to do it without a problem, but apparently it did mess up something, because next time when i started the computer, I got a message on small window on the top left corner "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation" the screen was light gray. clicked on OK and it took me out to the linux non Xwindow shell interface. (what is that called, command line interface?) The error it had spat out which I thought relative, I have typed below. I am still a fairly novice linux user so am stumped as to what caused this. Output----------- Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation (WW) i810(0): Failed to setup write-combining range (--some funky number here --) Could not init font path element /usrX11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!

WinKey in Kde 3.2
by Wayne 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Hi, I have successfully upgraded to Kde 3.2 in SuSE 9.0 pro however my win key does not activate the kmenu/popup menu. It is still bound to Alt-F1. I read that once Kde 3.2 is installed, the win key would be the default behavior for the kmenu menu. Can't seem to assign the win key exclusively to the kmenu in kcontrol. My keyboard is set to Generic 104-key PC, U.S. English. Any others having this problem? Solutions? Thanks Wayne

[Fwd: [suse-kde] KDE 3.2 in X-Win32 very slow]
by Marc Lentwojt 20 Mar '04

20 Mar '04

Hello, nobody any idea ? Please help... Kind regards Marc -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Betreff: [suse-kde] KDE 3.2 in X-Win32 very slow Von: "Marc Lentwojt" <marc(a)lentwojt.de> Datum: Sun, 14.03.2004, 12:52 An: <suse-kde(a)suse.com> Hello everybody, I just subscribed to this list, so please forgive me, if I am sending my problem to the wrong list, but I don`t think so. I recently updated my KDE to version 3.2 and now I notice some strange behaviour in my remote sessions. First, the text in the menu bar from kicker becomes thicker every second until it seems to be bold. Second, every application is displaying very slow in remote session. For example text scrolling the the konsole application is horrible, it is like working on a 386 computer. I testet different versions of X-Win32 to the new 6.0. All the same. I cannot remember having this issue with KDE 3.1. Every application writes to the display: Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display Any ideas ? Any help would be great. I searched many mailing lists, googled around, but found nothing about this... With kind regards Marc Lentwojt -- To unsubscribe, email: suse-kde-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands, email: suse-kde-help(a)suse.com Please do not cross-post to suse-linux-e

SUSE 9.0 & XDM errors
by Scott Coats 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

I am running Suse 9.0 Pro and having problems running XDM. I have it running and can logon locally fine. I have several Thin Client machines running X that I want to use to log on to this machine. I can initiate a connection via 'direct' mode and the 'login' screen appears and I can log in fine. However, when I log out and the X session resets, I am unable to connect again until I reboot my Thin Client PC. The server logs contains the following: ------ cut ------ Mar 18 14:48:45 dch806 kdm[4572]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Mar 18 14:48:45 dch806 kdm[4572]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Mar 18 14:48:53 dch806 kdm[4589]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Mar 18 14:48:53 dch806 kdm[4589]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Mar 18 14:49:01 dch806 kdm[4605]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Mar 18 14:49:01 dch806 kdm[4605]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Mar 18 14:49:08 dch806 kdm[4531]: Display dch26150.mwsc.com:0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) ----- cut ----- I have looked at several search ares on the web. None of which can give a final solution. Remember I can access it once, but not until I reboot the client and log on again. Please advise... Scott
