Hello all.. I have installed suse 9.0 and it was working fine,but today i.e after a gap of 2 weeks when i tried to boot my system and login into my account i couldn't not login from the GUI provided by kde3.0. I tried to login using the failsafe mode and then tried to run "startx" but then also it gives me msg as fatal error and i cannot get the desktop environment of my account. I can login into my account from the console(both as root and normal user) but i really don't understand why i cannot login from the GUI. Any suggestions or help is highly appreciated. I have no idea whatz wrong .. please help me thank you feroz --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the "Signing Bonus" Sweepstakes

Kooka Warnings/Possible Bug
by Ralph De Witt 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hello: I have just completed a clean install of SuSE version 9.0. The first time I tryed to use Kooka to scan an image it did nothing. There were no errors etc., it just sat there doing nothing. So I loaded Xsane and that completed my scans. I then went back to kooka and started it in a terminal window. I got the following warnings and kooka completed a preview scan. ralph2@linux:~> kooka QObject::connect: No such signal ScanPackager::dropped(QWidget*,QDropEvent*,KURL::List&,KURL&) QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::initPrivate(): trying to assign a shortcut (Ctrl+I) to an unnamed action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::initPrivate(): trying to assign a shortcut (Ctrl+H) to an unnamed action. QLayout: Adding QComboBox/PREVIEWFORMATCOMBO (child of QVButtonGroup/unnamed) to layout for Previewer/unnamed libkscan: WARNING: Trying to copy a not healty option libkscan: WARNING: Trying to copy a not healty option ralph2@linux:~> Is this a bug in Kooka or the SuSE package that needs to be reported? If so were would I report it. Ralph

Installing rpms via konqueror
by Neville Cobb 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Sorry if this may be the second post. When installing rpms by clicking on the rpm in konqueror I noticed a greyed-out button stating 'use directory as source with yast'. I'd like to have this feature working as I'm hoping that by selecting it, YaST will be able to see and use supporting rpms in the same directory rather than installing the rpms one at a time. Has any one been able to get this feature to work, or does it work? Nev

I have several mail lists configured with: Properties->AssociatedMailingList->FolderHoldsMailingList clicked and the email address in Post Address. Yet, the mail list address is not inserted into the To: field of the new mail. Is this some error in my configuration? Or is it a know bug?

Programm in bestimmter virtueller Arbeitsfläche starten
by Michael Eichstädt 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hallo, ich habe mehrere virtuelle Arbeitsflächen angelegt. Jetzt möchte ich gerne, daß bestimmte Programme wenn ich sie starte immer auf bestimmten Arbeitsflächen ihr Fensterchen öffnen. z.B. Klick auf kmail und das Fenster erscheint auf Fläche 4 auch wenn ich kmail von Fläche 6 aus starte. Welche Parameter muß ich einem Program dafür mit auf den Weg geben? SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.1.4 Liebe Grüße Michael Eichstädt

DRM question
by Andrew Williams 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

no, not *that* DRM! Does anyone know what the problem is here? libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering It looks to me like framebuffers but the correct ones for my ATI Rage 128 are in there. 'not permitted' is also rather suspicious. This is possibly *not* a kde question, although it is happening under kde. Just in case it matters: - SuSE 9.0 with all updates applied - 2.6.0 kernel (I *think* it happened with the original kernel as well) Everything works fine even with the 'slow indirect rendering'. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Problem running Gnome programs in KDE ?
by Peter Fasi 03 Jan '04

03 Jan '04

I have a recurring problem with some Gnome programs running in KDE (such as Galeon and Grip). It seems that if they crash, my PC freezes up, and every subsequent time that I log on with the same username. I am inexperienced with Linux, and so my my only remedy has been to delete the username and set up a new username for myself. This is tedious, since I have to save and move all of my files, then change the permissions to the new user. The problem seems to be that there are some runaway programs are trying to initiate in the background. Is there any way around this? Can I edit the user profile to not initiate these programs? Any help would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
