Akregator fails after kernel update
by William E. Shotts 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

Based on a YOU update alert, I updated my kernel last night to 2.6.11-4.21.10. Afterwards Akgregator (within Kontact) no longer works. All other Kontact functions (mail, summary, contact, calendar....etc.) work fine. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to fix? (I've already tried reinstalling KDEPim. Thanks in advance, Bill SuSE 9.3 / KDE 3.5 / x86_64

Lost "Extract" in konqueror context menu
by Thomas Börkel 18 Jan '06

18 Jan '06

HI! After updating to the newest KDE 3.5 packages, I lost the "Extract" context menu entry in Konqueror for archives. How can I get that back? I think, in older KDE versions, you needed /opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/arkservicemenu.desktop But apparently this is not needed anymore in KDE 3.5, because I do not have this on another KDE 3.5 machine either and there I still have the menu entry. Using Suse 9.2. Thanks! Thomas

Re: [suse-kde] "Nice" users?

In my case it is a family computer w/ 1 physical monitor and keyboard but 3 users logged in on diferent virtual terminals, it seems that if the "Kmenu->switch user" item was used (rather than the key combination) to switch sessions, that kde could notify a subsystem to adjust the nice value to give the new user the highest priority. For my family, desktop response (web surfing, e-mail, time it takes to open an application) are the slowdowns that are most noticed. Since I am the main culprit in causing the slowdowns I guess I could manually adjust the nice value of my processes but that seems like more administration than should be nescessary. It seems that there would need to be a preferences system to allow some users nice values to remain unchanged (root, system processes) while allowing specific users nice values to be increased or decreased when switching. Apparently this is not currently possible, so I guess its time to file a request w/ the kde developers / kernel developers. Thanks to this list for helping me clarify to myself what it is that I am looking for. See ya -- dh

"Nice" users?
by David Herman 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

for years my family has been using virtual terminals so that each of us may be logged into the same machine and switch between our sessions using the ctrl+alt+f... key function. KDE added a menu entry awhile back that has the same functionality, but I've seen no preferences available in relation to this function. What I wonder is whether it is possible to increase the priority (reduce the nice value) of the user being switched to in relation to the inactive users on the other virtual terminals, or to reduce the priority (increase the nice value) of the user being switched away from. I know that technically only root is allowed to reduce the nice value of a process (giving it higher priority) but it sems that it would be convenient if the active users session had a higher priority than the inactive users. Sometimes I am compiling numerous programs, ripping a cd and have other background processes running. If I switch to my wife or daughters session they have to put up with a less responsive system than they might like. If this isn't possible then where should I go to suggest this feature? Thanks for your Ideas -- dh

update broken firefox & thunderbird?
by suselists＠adammcauley.com 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Hello all. I hope this is the correct place to post this issue. I am running opensuse on AMD x86_64. I have updated my KDE installation by adding the following yast installation source, and have been running 3.5 for some time with no problems. www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/KDE/… Yesterday (15th Jan) I updated my GNOME installation by adding the following to my installation sources in yast. www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/GNOM… I updated all the KDE components first, then all the gnome components. I was using KDE at the time and everythign seemed fine. I logged out of KDE and started the gnome desktop to see if it worked etc. and everything seemed fine there too. I ran firefox and thunderbird with no problems. once I had checked it was working I logged out and started KDE again. everything seemed normal, until i tried to run firefox. It would not run, neither would thunderbird. I tried to run applications from the command line which resulted in an error about 'unable to find libmozjs.so'. as a quick fix i added the thunderbird dir (/usr/lib64/thunderbird i think) to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/thunderbird.conf and ran ldconfig. the only result was thunderbird segfaulting. can anyone think of a reason that this would happen in KDE but no gnome? please help, gnome is nice, but i use KDE every day and without my favourite browser and email i'm going to have to switch to gnome, or do a complete re-installation! thanks, adam.

Problems with A4tech Outlook 8k Optical mouse
by Joshua Raphael Fuentes 15 Jan '06

15 Jan '06

I have this mouse ( A4tech Outlook 8k). It's an 8 button mouse. I've got it running on my suse 10, and the scrolling is working fine but not the other buttons. It's back and forward buttons doesn't seem to work properly, and when I tested it using YAST, it seemed that these other buttons are having duplicate functions as the main ones (left , right, scroll, and pressing the scroll). According to what I've read, some logitech mouse can properly work on linux, which means that there is a big chance for this to work on suse. Now, how can I do this ? how do I use an 8 button mouse properly on suse 10. I'd like to bind these mouse keys with functions that are usefull such as copy and paste, or zoom , etc.. Please posts your replies here. THank you

Can "Kat" handle KMail mail folders?
by Malte Gell 14 Jan '06

14 Jan '06

Hello, just switched from Beagle to Kat because it´s much more flexible. But, can Kat coming with SUSE 10 handle KMail mail folders? I could try it on my own, but it seems to take a long time to scan hundreds of MB´s... TIA Malte

Kongueror navigation panel shows archived web pages in the panel listing. in prior suse kde versions only the folders were listed. there is no problem with the display in the main window. I have looked at the KDE site FAQ. How do I configure the panel side to list only the folders. Thanks Tom
