kontact crashes
by Richard Bos 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Since some time (I think it started around kdelibs-3.3.0 release 8 or so) kontact crashes for me during startup (this is on suse 9.1). I have removed the kontactrc file, but that does not help. No new kontactrc is created. Kontact crashed with the following backtrace Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 16384 (LWP 4464)] [KCrash handler] #5 0x081a8321 in ??

BTW, the mainwindow pops up, but when it is about to fill it, kontact crashes. The seperate apps (knotes, kmail, knode, korganizer) run okay. gdb kontact does not reveal much. What can be wrong?? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

RE: [suse-kde] Inserting Line breaks in the Greeting
by Lugg William H Civ OO-ALC/MASFE 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Turns out that when I edit the string in KEdit and just hit the Return key where I want to break the line, the clipboard carries that over to the greeting. By the way, /n (and \n, for that matter) doesn't work. But, that's OK, it's solved now. ----- Bill Lugg Software Engineer, MilStar AF Command Post Terminal Software Support OO-ALC/MASFE, Peterson AFB, CO William.Lugg(a)cisf.af.mil And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. -- Romans 8:28 -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Shanahan [mailto:wideglide@myrealbox.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 8:20 AM To: 'suse-kde(a)suse.com' Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Inserting Line breaks in the Greeting * Lugg William H Civ OO-ALC/MASFE <William.Lugg(a)CISF.AF.MIL> [09-21-04 07:53]: > I am running SuSE 9.1 and KDE 3.2 on a DoD machine and need to insert a > required long piece of text in the greeting so that all users see it > prior to logging on.

Inserting Line breaks in the Greeting
by Lugg William H Civ OO-ALC/MASFE 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

I am running SuSE 9.1 and KDE 3.2 on a DoD machine and need to insert a required long piece of text in the greeting so that all users see it prior to logging on. How do I insert line breaks in the Greeting (in Control Center, Administrator mode) so the whole message is visible?

Screensavers, X & KDE
by BandiPat 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi all, I know everyone has been having a problem with Xscreensavers on the updates to KDE 3.3, but did anyone lose their KDE savers with the latest updates? One in particular I know many of us liked was the new GL fireworks saver. Upon doing some investigation after updating, we managed to come up with a couple of fixes. First the problem with the xscreensavers seems to be that the kdeartwork3 files are compiled on a newer system probably running SuSE 9.2 and with the screen savers located in a different location. When compiling kdeartwork3 from source, it actually searches for the location and sets things up for that, so a simple recompile of the source will fix it on your machine without doing the symlinks. The second problem, missing KDE screen savers, was a bit more difficult to track down, but as with many things difficult, I called on Anders Johansson for help. He came through again and found it was a matter of changing a line in the .diff file which made the compile include the KDE screensavers as well. All in all, some easy fixes, but perplexing none the less! Some folks doing KDE 3.3 updates using older versions of SuSE, 8.1 or 8.2 might find several other problems as well, since much has changed from 8.x to 9.x!

KDE 3.3 upgrade
by Ben Hills 18 Sep '04

18 Sep '04

Hi, I have been following the recent posts about upgrading to KDE 3.3. Most of them have been about upgrading SUSE 9.x. I am running SUSE 8.2 and I am very happy with it, but I would like to upgrade to KDE 3.3. Before I do I was just wondering if anyone here has upgraded to KDE 3.3 on their SUSE 8.2 system, and if so did you encounter any problems or difficulties? Many thanks, Ben. _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by MCI's Internet Managed Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.

kde3.3 and k3b problem
by Andrew Colvin 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Having just updated to kde3.3 including the new cvs version of k3b I have found that my scsi cdwriter is only detected as a reader. When I regress the k3b package back to version 0.11.9 from the new 0.11.14cvs All my drives are detected properly (ide dvdrom as dvdrom, scsi cdwriter as cdr(w), ide dvdwriter as dvdram,dvd+-r, dvd+-rw). Has anybody else had this problem?

KDE 3.3 Devices problem
by Ali Digitaly 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

I recently upgraded my Suse 9.1 from 3.2.3 to 3.3, and now Konqueror does no longer show the 'devices' tab on the side. Also the devices applet in the kickerbar does no longer work. I had to manualy remove the devices applet from kickerrc settings, before kicker would actualy start. How can I fix this problem? (restoring devices in konqueror and the proper functioning of the applet) -- *alidigitaly aka redhair Spam/ Trojan/ Virus/ SpyWare -free and Stable/ Secure/ Open source, by Suse Linux.

How to upgrade off-line KDE 3.1 to KDE 3.3 on Suse 9.0
by Roland Boers 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

All, I have tried to upgrade my KDE3.1 to 3.3 on Suse 9.0. This failed and I tried to get some detailed instructions how to do this, especially the sequence of removing old packages and installing new ones. After my first attempt I had to perform a repair installation to get it running again. The other thing is that I have to do the upgrade off-line. Is there anybody who can point me to a detailed instruction set? Thanks a lot, r

KNotify not able to use wav files.
by pnunn＠pncomputing.biz 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hi folks, wondering if someone out there would know why KNotify no longer seems to be able to use wav files. It sees ogg files and the like, but none of the wav files on the system seem to be available to it. I think something else may be associated with the wav files now, but I'd like KNotify to be able to use them again. Any idea where to look? Ta. Peter Nunn. -- Use Computers?.... ....Think IT!
