i18n broken (for de)!
by Andreas Schenk 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Hi, I have SuSE 9.0 and installed KDE with support of the german language. Later I upgraded online to the KDE 3.3 from the URL ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-sour… Since K3B didn't work I updated it again today from the same site. Now all the text in K3B is in english. So I updated the packet kde3-i18n-de as well. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. Even worse: some other texts that have been in german are english now as well, e.g. the tips and some parts of some messages in dialog boxes. YaST says that the available version of kde3-i18n-de is 3.3.2-3 but the installed version is 3.4.0-11 -- the entry is red. What does that mean? K3B is red as well: the available version is 0.11.15-3, the instllaed version is 0.11.20-7. I do not dare to update anything else since I fear to beak even more. Can you help me? Thanks in advance, Andreas Schenk

KDE3.4/KMail/Filters in toolbar problem
by Stephen Boddy 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

In my 3.3.x setup I had a couple of custom filters set up for when messages were incorrectly marked by bogofilter. Basically I could select the messages, and click on one of the toolbar icons (Spam/Ham). This would run the appropriate filter, which would educate bogofilter, mark it as Spam/Ham, and move it into the correct folder (Spam/inbox). Today I upgraded to KDE 3.4, and the toolbar buttons had disappeared. When I try to add them KMail crashes, taking KOrganizer with it. I can restart it, and it starts OK, but moving to other components tends to crash the lot again. By changing the toolbar without moving to any other screen I can remove the problem buttons. Anyone else experiencing this? -- Steve Boddy

Where is smooth-scrolling?
by Matthias Wieser 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Hi, the Suse KDE 3.4.RC-X packages and the packages from ftp.kde.org had smooth scrolling enabled. After an update to /Supplementary/KDE/..., smooth scrolling is gone. Why? Regards, Matthias

KDE 3.4 and sftp
by Guenter Lichtenberg 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Hi all - I just updated to KDE3.4 - using yast and the supplementary dirs and I noticed that there seems to be some problems with the sftp protocol handling in KDE. When I try to open sftp://me@at.my.work in konqueror it says try connecting to... but nothing happens. First I thought maybe my connection is down, but sftp worked on the shell and I got immediately an connection. Then I thought maybe there are some config files to be updated, so it takes longer te first time, so I made my breakfast, read something, 15 minutes later nothing had happened, icon still spinning - no connection, no error message. Using Kontact I had apparently an unstable connection. Here I use sftp to get my korganiser calendar when I'm at home. Sometimes it worked, but more often it did not. Did anyone had similar problems? Maybe I need to update some packages outside KDE? I'm running SuSE 9.1 Pro/x86_64, kde network packages are 3.4.0-07 apart from lisa which is 3.4.0-05 Help is appreciated gl -- Günter Lichtenberg ========>mailto:lichten@sron.nl SRON (EOS) Sorbonnelaan 2 3584 CA UTRECHT the Netherlands Tel.: +31 30 253 5719 FAX : +31 30 254 0860

Problem with Kde 3.4 and Suse 9.1
by Raúl Moratalla 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

Hi, I installed without any problems all the packages needed by Kde 3.4 in my pc with Suse 9.1. The problem is that when I start a kde session, kde begins the load process but my linux system hangs at the begining, as it doesn't show the splash screen. Any idea about it? Cheers, Raul

Laptop control on 3.4 for SUSE
by Derek Fountain 19 Mar '05

19 Mar '05

I just sent this to the KDE mailing list, but perhaps here is a better place for it. I just downloaded the SUSE KDE-3.4 packages for my SUSE-9.0 based APM laptop. All seems fine (although there isn't a kdegraphics3 package - has that been overlooked or removed?). One issue though - laptop control. What do I use to get a laptop battery icon in the tray? I have a 'klaptop_check' application, but it doesn't seem to do anything when run. The "Start Battery Monitor" button on the control panel pane doesn't do anything when clicked either. The "Current Battery Status" icon on the control pane does show the correct battery status, so the underlying control mechanism is clearly working. Did the battery monitor applet thing get renamed to something weird or missed out of the SUSE packages or something? -- --- Derek Fountain, on the web here : <a href="http://www.derekfountain.org">Derek Fountain</a>

Re: [suse-kde] KDE 3.4 files 9.2
by Gabor Istvan 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hello lists members: I have downloaded the KDE updates from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/ KDE/update_for_9.2 on March 16. I've checked the mirror again today and found that kdegraphics3-3.4.0-9. i586.rpm is missing from the applicatons subdirectory. It was there two days ago. It is also missing from the http://www.novell.com/linux/ download/linuks/i386/update_for_9_2/extra.html site. Why was it removed? IG

KDE 3.4 and Arts Snafu
by Randall R Schulz 18 Mar '05

18 Mar '05

Hi, I've been assiduously avoiding upgrading my two arts packages since the issue of the new ones disrupting system sound came up. I'm wonder if I can continue to get away with this when I upgrade to KDE 3.4? By the way, I've been following Leen and Lee's exchange. I'm not into building my own packages for critical system components (partly because I don't install a very comprehensive set of "-devel" packages). Randall Schulz

Re: [suse-kde] Kpdf in KDE 3.4

> Usually they are the same. The rpms on ftp.kde.org are from SuSE anyway, > Check the version number and the size of the files in both locations, > are they different? Quite so... ;-) kdegraphics3-3.4.0-9 in supplementary is just missing. It's available as -6 in kde.org repository. > If not, happy mixing! Nothing blew up, and kpdf, kooka and kuickshow (at least) seems to be ok. We'll see what happen next :-) Ciao, Roberto

Re: [suse-kde] Kpdf in KDE 3.4
by r.maurizzi＠digitalpha.it 17 Mar '05

> I can't find kpdf in the new packages for KDE 3.4 (9.1), > it used to be in kdegraphics3. There's a new kdegraphics3-pdf-3.4.0-9.i586.rpm package, and you have to install that. Besides, I see there's NO kdegraphics3-3.4.0-9 package in the supplementary folders on SUSE ftp, but there's a kdegraphics3-3.4.0-6 in the SUSE folder on ftp.kde.org I assume there are some build problems with the package, but I wonder: do I risk something by using the -6 from kde.org instead? Ciao, Roberto
