kmail - illegal character in input stream!
by brunft 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Hi all, i am using KDE 3.1 on SuSE 8.1. I've problems with KMail, it seems that Emails with german charsets are not displayed correctly. I got the following msg in the console WARNING: QuotedPrintableDecoder: ü illegal character in input stream! Ignoring. WARNING: QuotedPrintableDecoder: ß illegal character in input stream! Ignoring. for every character in the viewed email which is not part of the us-ascii (?) charset. The charset int the content-type in the message header is correctly set ... Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 'Set encoding' in the 'View' menu is set to Automatic, but if i set it manually to ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15 the problem is the same. I've set up SuSE (and KDE) with english language maybe that's the problem? Strange is, that i got a HTML email, which is displayed correctly. (Content-Type: multipart/alternative; ...) May i've to set a certain environment variable or could that be a kde bug? thx in advance brunft

8.0 KDE 3.1 pkgs VS 8.1 KDE 3.1 pkgs...why is 8.0 lacking?
by Ben Rosenberg 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Question for any SuSE people on the list. Why weren't all the KDE 3.1 pkgs that were made for 8.1 made for 8.0? I hope it's not as lame as the font smoothing and icons smoothing excuse between 7.3 and 8.0. Mainly because 8.1 and 8.0 have pretty much the same XFree86 version and many other libs are the same. Could someone shed some light on this? -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

login manager
by marconi barbosa 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

Hi folks, On a suse 8.0/KDE 3.1 machine. Since the somewhat discussed move to 3.1 the login manager on the control center won't implement changes. Heard someone saying that there is a bug preventing the manager to write to the config. Is there a way to sort this? Got used to my old settings.... can't be blamed by that, I guess... Thanks to all Ps. My kde graphic Yast2 still not working. Doesn't seems to be a qt3/qt3-non-mt issue as I tryed both. Getting along with the terminal. Marconi

Using KMail with netscape
by Torsten Foertsch 25 Feb '03

25 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello How can I configure KMail to start a browser other than konqueror e.g. netscape or something like 'netscape --remote ...'? Is it possible to have netscape/mozilla start 'kmail --compose' on mailto: links? If yes, how? Thanks Torsten -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+WdjlwicyCTir8T4RAhoHAJ4kR4TWNnsw2vT8ByXV50amJBOvlQCglYmn BStpwjFDFOFnKjB02m/1eUw= =s7c8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

messed up login (KDE 3.1 on Suse 8.1)
by Andreas Bauer 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Hello together I just moved to Kde 3.1 on a new installed suse 8.1. I was playing around with the settings of the Loginmanager (put a clock, my user should be preselected etc.) Now what i got is a list of many users (dialup,.....) and of the possible sessions KDE is gone :( (in the kcontrolcenter it says that it should be there) When login now i just get a xterm from where I can start Kde, and then everything works fine. I putted all settings back to defaults, but nothing :( Anyone an idea how to get this thing back. I would have no problem with reinstalling the rpm containing the loginmanager, etc. Thanks for your help Andi

Listen up - konq fix!
by Curtis Rey 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, word has come down from on high that many of the issues people have experienced has been fixed, e.g. the KDE Crash Handler presenting itself each time at shut. One of the workarounds was to delete the .kde folder in the <user> directory. This was not very favorable concerning settings, files and desktop customization being lost. Seems there was a short time a kdebase3 package didn't have the kdebase3-konqeror package in it. So a YaST installed (or manually installed) kdebase3-konqueror packages weren't available - this is now fixed NOW to FIX this you'll need to do rpm -e kdebase3-konqueror and then reinstall the "kdebase3" package provide on the SuSE ftp site for kde. You can do this manually by downloading the package, or if YaST is set up and accessing the alternative ftp "yast-source" directory then you can go this route. Just a reminder. SuSE has created a "yast-source" directory on the public ftp server under the parent directory of kde supplementary updates of 8.1 (I haven't looked at the other versions to see of this is there - ? don't know if it is ). Anyway, to be able to use YaST via install and remove software you start YaST - ->Change source of installation -> add ftp. Server: ftp.gwdg.de Directory: pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1/yast… Be sure that the kde 3.1 is the first source (button up/down - move to top). Start Yast: add/remove software and you should see the kde3.1 package. This system has just been put in place and has only been officially tested with two machines. Others had noted that they can use this while some have had little success - this issue, if your experiencing it, should be resolved in due course. Cheers and hope this helps.

desktop icons dont stick
by Richard 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

I am using Suse 8.1 with KDE 3.1 After doing an upgrade with apt-get, any icons I add to the desktop or any icons I move on the desktop, disappear or simply move back to original position. I know I have seen the answer to this question but after 2 hours of searching the mail lists, google and the faqs, I give up and beg for help. What am I missing? Thanks, Richard
