Hi y'all! Just upgraded my 8.0 box system to KDE 3.1 and now I get the following message in the startup console: Mar 11 21:27:32 Thinkpad kdm_config[832]: Unrecognized section name [Desktop0] at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:1 I tried it with [Desktop], but to no avail...

rebuilding qt-3.1.1-55 on SuSE 7.3
by Daniel Eckl 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

mostly @Adrian: I tried to rebuilt the new qt-3.1.1-55 src package from the Xfree 4.3.0 tree for my SuSE 7.3 box. I changed the build script and the spec-file to activate xft support for SuSE <800. But sadly, the fast-malloc patch breaks building. Dropping the patch helps. Is there a better solution than dropping? Building breaks with: kernel/malloc.c: In function `cALLOc': kernel/malloc.c:4274: parse error before `void' kernel/malloc.c:4276: `mem' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/malloc.c:4276: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/malloc.c:4276: for each function it appears in.) kernel/malloc.c:4261: warning: unused parameter `n_elements' kernel/malloc.c:4261: warning: unused parameter `elem_size' kernel/malloc.c:4323: warning: control reaches end of non-void function kernel/malloc.c: In function `calloc': kernel/malloc.c:5678: warning: `m' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c:4269: warning: `d' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c:4266: warning: `p' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c: At top level: kernel/malloc.c:4650: warning: `mSTATs' defined but not used Greets, Daniel

Sprache, Icons Einstellung
by Ronnie Gaensli 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe seit eineiger Zeit eine SuSE 8.1 Prof. Installation laufen, ohne 20 weitere Probleme. Vor einigen Tagen ist mir etwas unerklärliches widerfahren. Nach dem ich einige Programme die auf meiner HD rumliegen ausprobierte, war die Sprache des KDE von Deutsch auf Englisch (bzw. Default) umgestellt, weiter waren die Icons geändert (Von Crystal auf Standard KDE [oder so]). Nun kann ich die Sprache und Icons zwar im KDE Control Center ändern, aber zu keiner änderung. Das letzte Programm das ich vermutlich ausprobiert hatte war Kwatch (Log File überwachung). Bei anderen Benutzern hat sich nichts geändert, und dort kann ich wie zu erwarten die Sprache ändern wenn ich will. Wer weiss Rat? Danke im voraus! R. Gaensli

When I try to view the contents of a share using Konqueror, I get an error that a path is not found. The path is shows is missing the first character of the last name for example smb:/compname/documents/omedocuments, while the folder is called somedocuments. I'm using SuSE 8.1 and I'm experiencing this on three different pcs. How do I solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Re: [suse-kde] libkcm_konq.la...exists but not found
by Tilo Winkler 10 Mar '03

Hi, it looks like I have a quit similar problem on a fresh installed SuSe 8.1: If I click on the virtual deskop icon using the right mouse button and choose "Configure..." I get an error message that says libkcm_konq.la isn't available. After reading all recent suggestions I checked the kde-packages fist (all between 3.1 and 3.0.3, kdecompat isn't instlled). Than I called kconsole from the terminal window and it was working fine. I could make my configurations, but the problem on the icon remains. I also checked that kdebase and kdeaddons3-kicker got updated to 3.1. It seems to me there is somewhere a "link" in the (SuSE?) configuration to the old name (libkcm_konq.la), but I wasn't able to find it. Tilo

Start New Session failed
by Schaefer Wolfgang 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi, as I installed SuSE 8.1, KDE 3 works fine! But, since I use the online update I can't login in a second session! Maybe a KDM update is responsible. So, I loaded down the KDE 3.1 update from the suse ftp-server and installed 3.1. Now it's strange: after I start a new session "focus" switched to F8, but there is not login window only a blue vertical gradient background. Now I switch to F7 and back to F8 and I wonder, there is a login window and the background is the familiar one. How can I cut off this behavior? /var/log/messages says: ... kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized section name [Desktop0] at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:1 kdm_config[2379]: Urecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:866 kdm_config[1741]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:87 after an link from /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc --> /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ... kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'EnableChooser' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:67 kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:68 kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:69 once more: after I login, there is an ugly gray background, sooner there was an red for root or blue background. How can I get back the other backgrounds? regards wolfgang

activating xdmcp in suse-8.1
by Richard Bos 09 Mar '03

Question about the activation of xdmcp in kde and its login manager. After enabling xdmcp in suse-8.1 in kdmrc in the file: /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc, nothing shows up in kde login manager. Does anyone have succesfully activated this functionality in suse-8.1? /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc [X-:0-Greeter] EnableChooser=true LogSource=/dev/xconsole ShowLog=true [Xdmcp] Enable=true Willing=/etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling Xaccess=/etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

SOLVED - missing libkcm_konq.la and YaST (KDE3.1)
by Richard Andrews 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

Well, kde 3.1 is finally running on my 8.0 system. I tried all of the things I had seen on this list and thanks to everyone that helped. The solution to my problem turned out to be uninstalling kde3 and then removing the /opt/kde3 and ~/.kde directories before installing the kde3 rpms again. I didn't use the --nodeps option but rather just followed the dependency notifications until I found a package I could install wihout errors and then worked my way back up the dependencies until the whole lot was installed. It wasn@t as bad as it might sound so don't be put off. I guess that is where apt would be a god send - but I couldn't get it running on my system that was getting progressively more and more broken. So, installed all the base packages then the apps, installing the dependant devel packages as I went. Points to note: After deleting /opt/kde3 and ~/.kde (or renaming them at first to be sure everything works) removes all your personalization settings - including address book (D'OH!!!) so back those things up first. After taking this drastic step, be prepared to redo your personal settings. The lost .la files seem to be because the new 3.1 KControl menu structure is different to the 3.05 KControl menu structure eg "Desktop" under "Desktop" which used to throw the lost .la file error is now called "Multiple Desktops" under "Desktop" so I guess that is the problem - left over config files from a previous install?? YaST - I also had the problem that Yast wouldn't start graphically. I solved that after reading a post from February that mentioned installing qt-non-mt . However the post said that qt3 and qt-non-mt weren't compatible. They installed on my system without complaints (ie without --nodeps etc) and the YaST was immediately able to launch. Certainly seemed to not cause any troubles. If anyone can tell me how to get my address book back I'd be very happy :-) Otherwise these tips may help anyone who's at their wits end with the upgrade. But, a I said - it is a bit of a drastic step but not too tragic if you are able to restore your old setups - including app specific configs - from backups. Regards Rich

Konqueror bar
by Bill Wisse 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi All I seemed to have lost the menu bar ( Location, view etc ) when I start Konq either as browser or filemanager. I'm sure it is easy to fix but I just cannot find out how. (Blind perhaps?) Anyone can tell me how to get it back? Thanks -- Greetins from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. (where the hell is that?). My holy cow is a penguin.
