Alt+F2 behaviour

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, is there any sense in, having installed a program from the command line or kpackage like, let's say, netscape, and afterwards hitting [Alt]+[F2] to have "kdesu /sbin/yast2 'i* *netscape'" popping up? I already have this proggie installed! This is especially annoying when I install versions from the bleeding edge. Having them installed properly, I have to install the default package and then upgrade again to have [Alt]+[F2] working. I can't find what causes this where. - -- Sven Ehret - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+WXab5dQOSMtmKR0RAopsAJ9rf30fYcgRJAaHH7inENA/9wpdsACeOARc xlAbFaq77ciJaBbwv7jHGTs= =lKmK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

YAST text input not working.
by pnunn＠pncomputing.biz 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Hi guys, I've recently upgraded my laptop to KDE 3.1 running Suse 8.1 and most things seem to be fine. I'm currently trying to setup profiles so that I can use it at work and home on the networks, but have discovered that I can't enter any text from the keyboard into the edit fields in YAST. I can past in text I type in say Eterm, but can't directly enter anything. Any ideas where to look? BTW, the profiles don't seem to be working too well either, but the two things might be related I guess. Thanks. Peter.

Need Help Getting Kpilot Working in SuSE 8.1
by Ralph De Witt 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI All: I have just installed KDE 3.1 and Kpilot 4.3.6 on SuSE 8.1. I seem to have several problems getting the Palm Pilot to sync. The first problem I have is that I can not find a /dev/pilot anywhere on my system to point to the usb hot sync cradle. The second problem is that when Kpilot is started it complains about not being able to open the addressbook database etc.. This I believe is caused by the fact that a hot sync has not been proformed so they have not been created. Can someone help me straighten out the /dev/pilot problem and get it pointing to the usb hot sync cradle. Thanks for your help. - -- Yours, Ralph.

Konqueror right-click context menu
by Jeroen Leijen 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hi, I upgraded from KDE 3.0.5 to 3.1 on my Suse 8.1 system using yast with the 3.1 packages that Suse provides on their site. In konqueror 3.0.5 I used to have a 'Copy to' and a 'Move to' entry in the context menu when right-clicking a file or directory. Now it's gone although it should be there according the 3.1 documentation. Anyone on restoring the 'Copy to' and 'Move to' entry in the right-click contect menu? Thanks Jeroen from Amsterdam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ check www.21exposed.net

How to create my own K-Menu?
by Thomas Michalka 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hi, how can I create my own additional start menu in kicker? I've been trying to firstly add a new K-Menu an then to edit this with the menu editor. Unfortunately this altered the original K-Menu too. Is there any possibility to create a generic menu which is customizable according to entries, their naming and organisation in subentries or folders, respectively, and their order, too? Probably I have to manually alter some configuration files. Please tell me which one if you know. Any hints are very appreciated! Best regards, Thomas Michalka

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, Does anyone know whether or not KDE 3.1 will be availble through Online Update soon? I know that you can download the files from the ftp server.

Re: [suse-kde] How to install the KDE 3.1 ?
by sven sandin 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

I followed the instructions on the http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm. The site will give you all the information you need. When the apt was up and running I installed a few harmful packages to convince myself that everythis was working. I then installed one package after the other. When I was finished I installed them a second time to make sure all dependencies had been resolved. For a moment I had problems with icons disapearing but they showed up later when installing other packages. I guess you better install from a proper root login rather than loggin as a root under your personal account. I have had no problems since.
