java and konqueror
by Κωνσταντίνος Γεράκης - Konstantinos Gerakis 22 Jul '02

Hello, My problem is that I cannot see java applets in konqueror. I have enabled java globally and I have installed the java netscape plugin in konqueror, but when browsing a web page that has java applets, I get the message "Loading java applet" and that's all! I have read that it takes some time to download the applet, but in my case the loading of the page is completed and still no applet,just the above message! I have enabled the java console, but no console appears! Do I have to wait more so as the applet is loaded? I have SuSE 8.0, KDE 3.0.1 and Sun java2 v.1.3.1 installed (the packages "java" and "java2" of SuSE). Thanks in advance!

KDE 3.1 alpha
by Vitaly Shishakov 22 Jul '02

22 Jul '02

hi all. I have recently installed KDE 3.1-alpha binaries from ftp.kde.org, onto my SuSE 8.0 and i found this configuration pretty usable. the only issue about it was, that i had to fix startkde -- i had to remove "--restore" option in "kwrapper ksmserver" command. i even found it kinda faster and using bit lesser memory :-) i have one question: will there be some kind of 'weekly fixed builds' available for testing? compiling it from the source takes a HUGE ammount of time and hard-drive space. :-)

kdesu konqueror problem solved :-)
by Salman Khilji 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

maybe or maybe not. I tried to run the command in a terminal with error messages on. It resulted in an error: /tmp/mcop-skhilji is not owned by user So I said what the hell. Lets delete /tmp/mcop-skhilji. Afterwards, kdesu konqueror started working. Lets see when it will break again. Hope not!!! Salman

KMail & Fonts, and Mixmaster Client
by Carl 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . KMail is now refusing to respect my font choices. It's decided that I should have an illegible one for the body of emails. I can't delete that font, as KDE has (somehow) assigned that look to 90% of all installed fonts, no matter what they actually look like. (Suse7.3 K2.2.2) Changing to a font that's legible in the dialog results in no change to the body. I've tried Use Custom Fonts, and not, and again no change. I can't read my email now. This happened when I installed a new font using KControl. :( I'm falling apart people... While I'm at it, KMail has been fine for me otherwise, but I need a mail client that's compatible with Mixm4ster or Cyph3rpunk, as well as PGP. Can anyone advise? - -- The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should therefore be hushed. A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated. If the doctrine be admitted, rulers have only to declare war and they are screened at once from scrutiny ... In war, then, as in peace, assert the freedom of speech and of the press.

howto show assigned irq's
by SuSEnixER 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

I believe I have a conflict between my nic and sound card. I get distortion when I play mp3 files. The sound card and nic are sharing irq 5. I believe I can change the irq assigned to the pci slot that either card is in, but I don't know if this is advisible and/or which to change and to what irq. Any help will be appreciated. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org

kicker icon lost/changed ??
by SuSEnixER 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

I crashed last nite and it's been so long since something like that has happened (windohs daze) that I was lost for a few minutes. Had to manually fsck 2 partitions, etc. I had to reconstruct the taskbar, ??I don't know why??.. When I added the kicker 'k menu' applet, it installed with the wrong icon. I have found what looks like the proper icon but do not know where to put it. I always look for the easy problems <grin>. Any help will be appreciated. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org

include KDE with Sources
by jochen issing 18 Jul '02

18 Jul '02

Hi List, last Night, my PC compiled KDE 3.0.2 and it all has finished successive, even though I had to correct some things. But now I want to include a session into kdm. I already added the session in kontrol center, made a link from /usr/X11R6/bin/kde3 to /opt/kde3/bin/startkde, but it still starts kde2 instead of kde3. Can anybody help me? Greetings, jochen -- jochen issing mailto:jochen@nrpl.de
