3.1.95 rc1 and printing
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 An interesting problem has come in the latest version of the beta. 1st some info... Running cups and samba.. printing to a canon 4200 using the bjc600 driver. Everthing worked fine under 3.1.4. Now none of the kde app type programs will only print bar at the bottom w/ the file name in the shadding (even though banners is turned off). Nothing else on the page. However when I print with say, open office it works fine. Just the kde (kate, kwrite even kdevelop) I checked bugs.kde and didn't see anything.. But before I submit it I would like to know if anyone else had this problem. - -- Adolph & Sharon Weidanz S/V Time To Paws 43' 1978 Endeavour Ketch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) iD8DBQFAFGbLlC+PSm9+eB0RAkswAJsEgk7/wSi5Vm1XZMvZjEqi6agZcgCff+If R9SOh8qTb+TN+jHWpd3M/ro= =ZPGy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Autologin with kde-3.1.95
by John T. Ellis 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Seems that autologin is borked with kde-3.1.95 packages - I get a "authentication failed" reply when kdm first starts up. Worked fine with 3.1.4. Even removed the kdm options from /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm (to see if it was causing any conflicts), but no dice. Seems others have had the same problem: see the post on KDE's list at http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=107486581219554&w=2 Any ideas? Bugs in RC1? -- John T.

licq and qt-gui compile problem
by Selim Ober 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

Hi, I've been trying to compile and install licq 1.2.7 with qt-gui, licq installs without a problem, I change to plugins/qt-gui durectory, and ./configure gives me that: --------- checking for QT includes... /usr/lib/qt3/include checking for KDE includes... no checking for QT libraries... no :-( configure: error: I can't find the QT libraries. It is recommended to set the QTDIR environment variable. Install the QT libraries, or if you have them installed, override this check with the --with-qt-libraries argument, and I'll take your word for it. ----------- QTDIR is already set to /usr/lib/qt3, and all my Qt libraries are installed, i've tried ./configure with these parameters: ./configure --with-kde --with-qt=/usr/lib/qt3 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib qt3/lib --with-qt-includes=/usr/lib/qt3/include but it's failed wuth the same error message... Well, what's wrong and how can i fix it? Thanks... N.B: the content of my /usr/lib/qt3/lib directory is as follows: /usr/lib/qt3/lib> ls -1 libqt-mt.la libqt-mt.prl libqt-mt.so libqt-mt.so.3 libqt-mt.so.3.2 libqt-mt.so.3.2.1 libqui.prl libqui.so libqui.so.1 libqui.so.1.0 libqui.so.1.0.0 pkgconfig

But was that supposed to get the "save" and "apply" buttons back in menu editor? (Unfortunately it doesn't.) There is a 'save' in the menu of the menu editor, which does save something, but not changes. Only deletes are permanent, other changes / additions are lost, even if it is just a modification of the icon used for an app. Regards, Matt

No remote graphical login / XDMCP?
by Olaf Lenz 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

Hello! This is not a question, just something I noticed during the last days when I tried to configure KDM on a SuSE Linux 9.0 Pro Machine to fit my needs, and which may help some people to find the problem... First I noticed that changing Yast2 -> Security and Users -> Security Setting -> Allow Remote Graphical Login did not have any effect. The same with the /etc/sysconfig-Editor (Desktop -> Display Manager -> DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS). Finally I found out, why: 1. Before I did this, I used the KDE Control Center to modify the settings of KDM (System Administration -> Login Manager). This will modify /etc/opt/kde3/config/kdm/kdmrc 2. When you now use YaST2 to change the remote graphical login, SuSEconfig will try to modify kdmrc as well, but it won't as it was changed by another program. Calling SuSEconfig by hand will show you an appropriate warning: ------------ >SuSEconfig [clip] Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.kdm3... ATTENTION: You have modified /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc. Leaving it untouched... You can find my version in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc.SuSEconfig... [clip] ------------ 3. Unfortunately, when you use YaST2, you will get no warning whatever. So what you need to do is to edit the kdmrc by hand (with an editor of your choice) and set "Enable=true" in the [Xdmcp]-section. I think this is a bug, and I reported it to the SuSE-Feedback. This problem did cost me a few hours to work out, so I hope that someone else may find it faster because I wrote this message... Cheers Olaf

menu editor in kde 3.1.95 - no save / apply button?
by Matt T. 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

... I installed kde 3.1.95 / kde 3.2 rc1. Lots of improvements. Only small issues, such as that I had to reinstall all buttons etc on the panel. But this might have to do with the de-install of kde3base-SuSE, which had to get done just before the upgrade. And, the menu editor does not have a save / apply button anymore, making it impossible to change the menu. Is that a bug, or just an issue with my installation? Any ideas? Regards, Matt

I have the new SuSE 9 Personal and I am trying to move off the windows environment to SuSE Linux. For the most part I am very pleased with SuSE and have got most of the services to work properly except for the synchronization of my Palm VII pilot with KAddressbook and KOrganizer. I have the following versions: Version: KPilot 4.3.10 (BRANCH) Version: pilot-link 0.11.8 Version: KDE 3.1.4 Version: Qt 3.2.1 I am receiving the following messages: HotSync Log 17:18:50 Trying to open device... 17:18:50 Device link ready. 17:18:53 Checking last PC... 17:18:54 KPilot 4.3.10 (BRANCH) HotSync starting... 17:18:54 [Conduit abbrowser_conduit] 17:18:54 Running with flags: 17:18:56 [Conduit vcal-conduit] 17:18:56 Running with flags: 17:18:56 KOrganizer is running, can't update datebook. 17:18:56 The conduit vcal-conduit could not be executed. 17:18:56 No Files to install 17:18:56 End of HotSync 17:18:56 HotSync Completed. 17:18:59 Trying to open device... 17:18:59 Device link ready.

kde starts up with NIS user account
by Kelly Choo 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

I have a PC running SUSE 9.0 as an NIS client where the NIS server is running HP-UX 10.20. After bootup the first thing it does is it runs a console window and logon as one of NIS users without a password. Have a lot of fun... Directory: /home/acarey Wed Jan 14 11:02:26 PST 2004 Terminal type? [vt100] If I press return and type exit I then get the SUSE 9.0 Login banner. This is scary to say the least. Can anyone shed some light? Ideally it should start the SUSE 9.0 Login banner. Thanks Kelly

Re: Errors getting login on X-terminal ???
by Olaf Lenz 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

Hi! Again, I've not been on this list when you wrote your message, so I can't reply properly. We've also a couple of X-Terminals (IGEL-Terminals to be precise), and I've seen exactly the same errors as you on some of the older ones. It seems to me that KDE uses some X features that older terminals can not handle. One problem seems to be the default GUI style: I've managed to get kdm running remote on the terminals by changing the GUI-style (in the KDE Control Center) from the "Keramik" style to something else (like KDE default). However, I didn't manage to log in with KDE on the older terminals, as almost all KDE-programs crashed (with SEGV). I'm afraid you may have to use another WM (like fvwm or Windowmaker). GNOME doesn't run, either. Cheers Olaf
