RE: [suse-kde] KDE logout script?

I too have been looking for something like this, but I have not found anything as yet. Perhaps it would make for a good enhancment request? -----Original Message----- From: Ti Kan [mailto:ti@amb.org] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 6:20 AM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] KDE logout script? Question: Is there a way to have KDE run a shell script that I supply to perform some custom clean-ups when I log out? Sort of like an opposite of the Autostart? -Ti -- 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

RE: [suse-kde] KDE login hang again
by Dan Freed 24 Aug '04

24 Aug '04

I am experiencing the same problem. I can start KDE from the console, but not from KDM. It hangs at the kcminit phase for me as well. It did work until I was playing with my screen saver, which for some reason crashed X completely. After that I started having this hang. I changed the screen saver back thinking that has something to do with the problem, but this had no effect. Any thoughts on this are much welcomed.

I am experiencing a hang at the splash screen again after logging in to KDE. This time, I've done a bit of debugging and found that the culprit is kcminit. In the /opt/kde3/bin/startkde script, there is a line: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +kcminit +knotify If I change this line to skip kcminit as follows, then I can log in just fine: LD_BIND_NOW=true kdeinit +knotify Manually running "kdeinit +kcminit" in a kconsole window shows a bunch of messages, and I confirmed that it does not complete and return to the shell prompt. I have to ctrl-C to abort it. So, 2 questions: 1. Just what does kcminit do? I don't seem to have lost any obvious functionality without it? 2. Why might kcminit be hanging on my machine? -Ti -- 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

Multiple window managers with KDM...
by Ondra Hosek 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

I have SuSE Linux Personal 9.1 and am running KDE. I wanted to try some other window manager recently, but the damned configuration somehow only loads KDE. What do I have to edit in these files to be able to switch window manager sessions at login using KDM?

Alt+F2 launcher sticking to workspace
by Raphael Posmyk 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi, After update my SuSE 9.1 to KDE (via YOU) the application launcher (Alt+F2) is oppening stil on the same workspace. When i invoke it from on example first workspace, then cancel, switch to thrird and invoke it again - it appears on the first workspace. It appearas allways on this workspace, where the first invoke was made. Volks from de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde with another distros could not reproduce this problem. Could someone of you try to reproduce this problem.

kde 3.3.0: All sound settings at 0 on SuSE 9.1
by JochenBl 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi there, I'm running KDE 3.3.0 on 3 machines now - 1 SuSE 9.0 and 2 SuSE 9.1. I've got the same problem on both 9.1-machines: KDE is setting all sound-options to 0. Everytime I log in I have to do all sound settings again. I tried to do the settings in YAST - so success. I tried different mixers - no success. It must be a KDE 3.3.0 problem because it exists since installing 3.3.0. But only on SuSE 9.1. 9.0 is running well. Anyone an idea to solve the problem? Greetings Jochen

kde 3.3 no file previews in konqueror
by Christopher Townson 22 Aug '04

22 Aug '04

hi - have recently upgraded to kde 3-3 via the Suse RPM updates and everything seems to have gone fine...only one minor problem: - konqueror no longer shows previews of any mimetype. previews are enabled and I have checked the settings for the various filetypes that should be displaying previews and everything 'seems' to be in order. has anyone else experienced this problem?...or something similar? Any suggestions would be welcome - although I usually have previews off, I find it a useful feature to be able to turn on occasionally via a shortcut key. thanks, Chris

Trails?
by BandiPat 22 Aug '04

22 Aug '04

Hi all, I have noticed something new in the present KDE 3.3 release. Try this and see if it works for you too. Open up Konqueror, the file manager, home will do and move a file or folder around the window. Did you get trails? :o) Refreshing the window or even just moving it slightly will clear the trails, but I don't think they are suppose to be there?
