Icon positions jumbled in KDE3
by Glenn Holmer 11 May '02

11 May '02

Maybe similar to my previous post, as normal user, desktop icons are frequently moved to random positions on login (in the same general area, but scrambled). And does anybody know how to specify the length of an icon text before it wraps? or disable/enable icon text wrapping? -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer(a)ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================

Konqueror user agent
by Paul W. Abrahams 11 May '02

11 May '02

In version 2.2.2 of Konqueror at least, there's a facility for specifying a "user agent" in the configuration that enables Konqueror to identify itself as some other prowser (IE 5.5 is usually a good choice). It's necessary for accessing web sites that check for browser identity. Trouble is, it seems that it's necessary to specify the user agent individually for each website where it matters. There's no way I can find to say that Konqueror should by default identify itself as, say, IE5.5. Is there some way of doing that that I've missed? Is the behavior in version 3 any better?

kmail
by bob barish 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Hello; I have a really trivial question about kmail. Is there any way to get kmail when replying to a message to start at the top of the reply and with the signature, instead of starting at the bottom of the reply. I have looked through the settings and did not see anywhere to make kmail start at the top. Any suggestions. Thanks a bunch for you time Bob

Knode Question
by Dave Barton 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

Hopefully, this is the correct list for posting questions about Knode (it is part of KDE, isn't it?). Is there any way to select a number of headers to download the message bodies. If there are a large number of messages in a thread or a large number of threads I want to read, it's a real pain to click scroll and click on every header. Any ideas? TIA Dave

KDE 3 SuSE 7.2 rpms and truetype fonts
by Daniel Rees 30 Apr '02

30 Apr '02

I have installed the KDE 3 rpms from kde.org for SuSE 7.2, and everything works as if I had compiled from source except I no longer seem to have truetype support. I understand that anti-aliasing has been disabled for 7.1 and 7.2 because they use an older XF86 version, but surely this doesn't disable truetype support? When I say truetype is disabled, I literally mean that KDE 3 cannot access any of my truetype fonts while KDE 2 and non-Qt apps like xfontsel can. So: a) Will there be an anti-aliased enabled QT rpm together with XF86 4.2 - I understand this may be too much to ask for an older version than 8.0, but some of us have to save up for these things ;) b) How can I enable truetype support using the KDE 3 rpms?

Kmail/GPG Problem with SuSE 8.0

kmail headers pane
by David Monk 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

I am now using KDE 3 on SuSE 7.3. I have one irritating thing in it I can not get past. After much searching I am guessing it is an unavailable feature, but I thought I might ask this group. With the main window open, looking at the header pane, I can move the columns around so that the Sender is on the left. This has nothing to do with sorting the messages, just how the pane is layed out. However, I can find no way to save this "layout". When I close and restart kmail, the Sender column returns to it's normal position. How is it I can move it, but not save that? Has anyone else noticed this? Overcome it? Have I just not looked for the right thing in the docs? If so, please point me in the right direction. Thanks. --- David Monk CCNA, MCSE david(a)purplebear.net The more things change, the more they stay insane.

Network-Konqueror
by Van Leynseele Luc 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Good afternoon, I have a small network existing out of 10 computers, a hubs and a router (brand: Broadband Router D-Link DI 804) and an broadband (ADSL) modem (brand: Speed Touch Home Alcatel). All computers can on the internet at the same time and files and printers can be shared. For testing purposes we run on four of these computers SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional, which we start from a floppy. As standalone those computers run well. The Ethernet cards have been configured dynamic and get their IP address from the router. (For the moment Linux run separately from Windows that means we are using Linux or Windows). I do not encounter any problems when testing on the console with arp, ping, ifcongfig, etc. Problem If I look by means of Konqueror in the network/local network, I get the remark: "Could not connect host to host local host". Under networks nothing is shown in the tree. Please, can somebody help? How do we share files and printers between the different computers in a Linux environment. (without seeing windows files for which you have to install Samba) Thanks in advance L.Van Leynseele Luc.VanLeynseele(a)skynet.be

Hi, I don't manage to have KOrn access my public IMAP/IMAPS account (WEB.DE) What do I have to configure? I also tried it with POP3, it doesn't seem to work. Isn't it, by the way, able to cope with imapS/pop3S (Port 995), the secure variants? Or doesn't KOrn yet support authentification like that? Which IMAP inbox folder do I have to use?

kinternet does not start up automatically on KDE startup
by Stefan Schlorholz 26 Apr '02

26 Apr '02

Hello everybody, since my upgrade from KDE 2.2.2 to KDE 3 on a SuSE 7.3 my kinternet does not start up automatically on KDE startup. I could put it into the autostart. I know that there must be another way since it was not in the autostart on my KDE 2.2.2. Additionally I want to control it for all users at once instead of instructing everybody to put it into the autostart. Does anybody have some ideas?

KDM3 on 7.3 anyone?
by Joe Sullivan 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hey, Just wondering if anyone here has managed to get KDM for KDE3 working? After lots of battling, I got KDE3 working, keeping KDE2 and using KDE2's KDM. Attempts to make KDE3's KDM work result only in X flashing on and off, then reverting to console mode. While using KDE2's KDM is perfectly okay (I can live with it, since I can use KDE3 at least), I noticed on my RedHat setup on another computer that when logging out of KDE3, I get more options, such as shutting down the computer directly and such. Don't get that on my SuSE setup, just the standard "Save session for future logins?" prompt that was with KDE2. Is anyone actually using KDE3's KDM on SuSE? If so, how did you get it to work? I'm using: -AMD Duron 800Mhz -Trident Cyberblade video card The latest X 4.2 RPMs off of SuSE The latest KDE3 RPMs off of SuSE Oh, and SuSE 7.3 Professional. Thanks, Joe SuSE 7.3 Pro - Buy it for the stickers. Keep it for the killer Linux setup! ;-)

SuSE extensions for kde3
by David Monk 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

I attempted to make the move to KDE3 before the official SuSE rpm's using the KDE ones. In my attempt to remove the KDE ones and reinstall using the SuSE rpm's I have lost kdebase-suse. When attempting to reinstall that original rpm, it tells me kdebase is required, from kde2. Is there any point in further trying to restore this functionality? Does the normal upgrade from SuSE kde2 to SuSE kde3 retain the extensions and desktop look/feel? I really liked the SuSE style, look and menu layout. --- David Monk CCNA, MCSE david(a)purplebear.net The more things change, the more they stay insane.

KMail - message list window ....

Hi, I just downloaded&installed the new KDE 3.0 and i have a question about KMail ! I used KMail in previous versions of KDE but this one have a new feature. Every second message in the message list is highlighted with a light colored bar ("highlight-bar"). I use my own color schema with KMail and I like to have a dark (black) background and a lightgray text. My question is: Is there any way to configure the color of this "highlight-bar" so I can use my prefered color schema without having troubles reading every second mail headers in the messagelist ? Let's say ... I would like a darkgray "highlight-bar". 10X -- Cornel. tel.:4092743604

At least that is what it sounds like, because this lib is part of the new alsa package. Something I didn't think about until hitting send button would be to maybe make a symlink to your old libasound.so.1 library to get it working. Don't know if it needs anything else specific, but it is easy enough to try the link.

KDE3 not starting from KDM login
by Ron Cordell 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

I had KDE3 working after an update about a week ago on my SuSE 7.1 box. I had updated to KDE3 from the SuSE ftp site, and then made some changes to the configuration files as documented by someone on the main SuSE english list. I noticed that there were some new updates, including a new QT3 package, so I installed those. When I did, it seemed to break the starting of KDE3 from the KDM login manager. Instead all I get is an xterm. If I type KDE3 in the xterm, KDE3 starts. This is true for any Window Manager I select in the KDM logon screen. Can someone tell me where I can repair these window manager links? Thanks, -ronc -- 4:29pm up 13 min, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.34, 0.21

KDE3 update
by Tom Nuzum 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

Hi, Im not sure how to go about updating to KDE3 on SuSE 7.3. I downloaded all the new RPMs from SuSE.com and have installed them. I noyiced I know have a new KDE3 directory next to KDE2 and KDE in my /opt directory. There are a number of startkde type files in all of these. Should I copy the KDE3 start folders to KDE2 or what. Restarting KDE only brings me back to 2.2. Thanks Tom Nuzum NVAR Computer Technology Coordinator 703.207.3228

KDE Konsole Text size problem
by John Blue 17 Apr '02

17 Apr '02

I sent the following to the SLE list, and then discovered the new KDE list, so apologies for the crossposting. I'm getting started with SuSE and have struck a small problem. I am running V.7.3 (Pro distribution) on a dual boot system with NT4. When logged in as root the Konsole window opens, confined to a narrow window on the left of the screen, and the prompt is very difficult to read with letters squashed together. If I issue a command the response is also unreadable. Making the window full size does nothing for the text and adjusting the settings does not appear to work! If I login with my normal user login, (John) the Konsole window is quite OK and text is very readable, and yet the settings appear to be the same for root as for user. I have read the KDE Konsole instructions but I must be missing something as I can't adjust the settings to resolve this. I daresay a re-install would resolve it, and I am happy to do so. I think it's a breeze after windoze installs, although I would rather try and understand what the problem is. Any pointers appreciated. John

Klauncher breaks
by Brian Marr 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.17 kde 2.2.2 XF86 4.2 Small problem. I keep breaking Klauncher forcing me to log out then back in to KDE. For example Kwintv (rpm from suse) asks to be suid root. But causes this. gringo@gringo:~ $kwintv The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges. gringo@gringo:~ $kdeinit: Fatal IO error: client killed kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children. KLauncher: Exiting on signal 1 kdeinit: sending SIGTERM to children. kdeinit: Exit. It does not like to be run as User. However it will work with sux -but also breaks klauncher. As user I get kv4lsetup: You should install me suid root, I need root priviliges for the VIDIOCSFBUF ioctl. Warning: kwintv: kv4lsetup had some trouble, trying to continue anyway. Is there a way of restoring klauncher ? If I stop and start klauncer it has no affect. The usual message is "klauncher could not be reached via DCOP" I have a similar problem with kfontinsall Brian Marr

KDE3 - Less than stellar installation
by Stuart Powell 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hello, everyone. First of all, sorry for the crosspost, but the KDE list is too new, and I don't know how many people we have frequenting it yet. I downloaded the KDE3 RPMs from the SuSE ftp server yesterday, and installed all of the base RPMs through YaST. After a great deal of cursing and swearing, I finally got it to run after running it as root, and then running it as a regular user. BUT, kdm is no longer available, and xdm is running in its place. Also, all of the nice application links that SuSE put into KDE2 are gone. Many apps also fail to run. YaST2 bombs out and XMMS does not even start. I have also updated the RPMs for these. It seems to me that the process for updating from KDE2 to KDE3 is far from painless, and I have been unable to find any documentation about it on either the SuSE web or ftp sites. The RPMs seem to be lacking some of the necessary configuration changes to provide for a smooth update. Can we expect updated RPMs in the near future to rectify these issues ? Maybe a script could be created to edit those files missed by the RPMs. Bye for now, Stuart.

Update of the Unofficial SuSE FAQ
by Togan Muftuoglu 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hi, I have made some updates to the Unofficial SuSE FAQ. Sorry I had been extremely busy in real life (I am still anyway) In addition to http://dinamizm.ath.cx which is the main site, the project has now mirrors. If you want to make a mirror of the site by using a script or wget then please use http://susefaq.sourceforge.net as their bandwidth is probably better than mine :-) Now since kde is separated from SuSE-Linux-e it is extremely difficult for me to follow up this list also. The best would be if someone can send me off the list once a week the common questions and the answers in a formated way I can put it on the FAQ Please be gentle to give time for the mirrors to get updated also Current Unofficial SuSE FAQ Mirror List ========================================= http://toganm.tripod.com http://susefaq.sourceforge.net http://www.smaug42.com/susefaq http://www.bmtsolutions.com/suse_faq/index.html http://www.jon.fl.net.au/suse/unofficial-faq http://www.e-vega.info/mirrors/suse 2002-04-16 * changed SuSE Package Conventions link to Mads'page * SuSE Linux English mailinglists FAQ update.

It complains about bad parameters in the kdmrc, respawns several times and exits with a sig 11. I tried both commenting out and removing the lines it was upset about, now it doesn't complain, it just respawns three times and then exits with a sig 11. It has something to do with the kdm_greeter, because that is what segfaults. Right now I'm running kde3 from the kde2 kdm, and that works fine, so it's an OK workaround until my SuSE 8.0 package arrives, at which time I'll upgrade and will have some entirely new set of issues to deal with. ;-) Michael -- Michael Nelson San Francisco, CA

Printing Manager - Control Centre - cups support
by Graham Smith 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hi, The cups interface to the printing manager falls over after the initial installation of KDE 3.0 and thereafter is not available on the Print System selection. From a couple of installs I have done, once you initally open the Print Manager you get an error message regarding cups, from then on you don't get any error message, nor access to cups. Has anyone managed to get cups support on KDE3 or what program the print manager uses in regards to cups? -- Regards, Graham Smith ----------------------------------------

KDE3 problems
by Lennart Börjeson 16 Apr '02

16 Apr '02

Hello, I have upgraded to KDE3 on my SuSE 7.2 laptop, resulting in many problems. First of all KDM is not able to start KDE anymore. Seemingly it can't find it's configuration, because all options have default settings. After login I only get a single xterm without any windowmanager. If I give the command 'startkde' in this window I get KDE up and running (but no sound). If I try to configure KDM through the konfiguration module none of my changes seem to "take", i.e. they are not saved. Any ideas, anyone? /Lennart !++ ! Lennart Börjeson !
