10.0, Another Round of KDE 3.5 Dependancy Problems
by harryc 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

kdebindngs3-python - Installed - 3.5.0-8, Available 3.5.0-9 kdegraphics3-pdf - Installed 3.5.0-6, Available 3.5.0-12 Is anyone else seeing these as missing packages while doing a YaST or kynaptic upgrade? As a side note, on 11/29/05, python-qt = 3.5.0-7 was missing. Is the Python developer getting sloppy? Thanks Harryc --

which Mailing list header info makes "Reply to Mailing-list" work?
by elefino 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

All, I use KMail, and the "Message > Reply Special > Reply to Mailing-list" function (shortcut "l" (ell)) works nicely for this list and many others to which I'm subscribed. However, for a couple of lists, the created reply contains the quoted message material, but the "To:" field is unpopulated (requiring some extra keystrokes in order to reply to just those lists). Could someone tell me (or point to where it's documented) which particular line or lines from the message header are being used by KMail (and presumably other mail readers) to create a Reply to Mailing-list? A friend is hosting one of the broken lists, and I'd like to let her know how to fix hers. Of course, she's using Yahoo-lists, so she might not have that kind of control available to her, but she could still submit a request to the masters at Yahoo... I've visually compared headers and I do see plenty of differences, it's just that I'm not sure which differences are important to this particular function. (Of course I can supply a sample "broken" header if anyone cares to see.) Thanks, Kevin

KDE Control Center & MX1000 Laser Mouse
by Randall R Schulz 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

Hi, I have a Logitech MX 1000 Laser mouse and the KDE Control Center's Mouse section shows the tab that corresponds to this mouse. Unfortunately, all the controls there are disabled. Unfortunately, the actual mouse precision is not correct, and it makes it hard to control the mouse even though I've set the acceleration and threshold settings to rather extreme values. It's also very obvious when my settings are not in effect (during the login screen, e.g.), when the pointer flies all over the screen with only a little movement. Does anyone know why this section of the controls are inactive and what I must do to enable them? Thanks. Randall Schulz

using 8 button mouse on suse 10
by Joshua Raphael Fuentes 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

I have this problem regarding the use of a 8 button mouse ( with one whee) on suse 10. As I have noticed, my wheel seems to work fine.Yet, when I tried to check on YAST, some of the buttons are doing thesame functions as the other buttons. This is redundancy now. What I'd like to do is to bind some keys for my mouse for the buttons to be userful. For example, this "back" and "forward" button. In windows, this is used to go back and forward when browsing webpages, but as for suse 10, I can't seem to get this working . Now, how do I configure the mouse buttons to get it to work properly. Or, if there's a chance for me to bind keys like "alt-l" , then that'd be great. I just want to make the other buttons useful. My mouse is A4tech Outlook 8k. Please posts your replies here. -- REGISTERED LINUX USER # 393260 there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't

Is there a custom kde menu hook present?
by Richard Bos 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

I have been extending the kde main menu, but this requires that the main menu (/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu) is being edited. I don't like this too much, as this will be undone by next kde update. I wonder is there a custom hook available in kde's main menu to extend it? The reason to extend the main menu, is to list inhouse (say a school, city hall, a company (that could even be suse)) maintained systems, or inhouse developed applications, etc. I extended the file with /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu with: <MergeFile>custom.menu</MergeFile> which is more than sufficient to support the above described wish. Anybody aware of such thing? If not I think I'll open a bug report for it. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

baghira or OSX look a like, is something missing?
by Richard Bos 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

While following a 'MAKING YOUR KDE LOOK LIKE A MAC OS X' tutorial, I come across 2 kcontrol center tabs that seem to be missing... The tutorial is at: http://linuxgangster.org/modules.php?name=Content&file=viewarticle&id=15 The missing tabs are: http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=baghira12pj.png and http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=baghira64wr.png The first one is the style tab in kcontrol (Click on 'Style' on the Index tab (on the left) under 'Appearance & Themes'). The tab is there, but it looks completely different. The same canm be said about the desktop behaviour tab, it is there but looking very different. Now is my (suse-3.5) correct and is the tutorial wrong, or vice versa? Or is it because I use the suser-guru baghira rpm for kde-3.4 in kde-3.5?? Just curious, no real problem. -- Regards, Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Hallo, irgendwie sind mir beim Update auf KDE 3.5 die Stile verloren gegangen. Habe jetzt nur noch 5 Möglichkeiten: CDE, MS Windows 9.x, Motif, Platinum und SGI. Kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich die anderen u. a. Plastik und Liquid wieder zur Auswahl bekommen kann? -- gruß Oliver

Two soundcards??
by Volker Kuhlmann 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

I have sound hardware on the main board, but also a sound card in the system (for some reason). Is KDE supposed to be able to handle that? It seems I can control the sliders of both mixers with kmix, but KDE is only ever using the first (mobo) mixer. That is, no audio out of the sound card. Likewise for /dev/{audio,dsp}. How can I chose which output to use for which audio source, or even, which to use for everything? SUSE 10.0 Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
