Problem assigning hotkey to XF86AudioMedia
by Alex 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

I have quite a strange problem: I am currently using SUSE 10.1/64Bit and recent KDE Packages for this distro (which are since today 3.5.3, but the problem was already there with all previous KDE packages for SUSE 10.1). Everything worked perfectly with SUSE 10.0. I cannot set the key XF86AudioMedia on my Logitech Cordless Desktop to start Amarok (or any other application, by the way)! All other "multimedia"-keys on the keyboard (as far as they are recognized by the kernel) can be set up via the KDE Control Center to do something. The key is, however, recognized. Both "xev" and the KDE Control Center show "XF86AudioMedia" when it is pressed. But the action assigned to this key, doesn't matter which kind of action, won't be executed. I tried several of the possibilites in the KDE Control Center to assign Hotkeys. BTW the way hotkeys are handled in KDE is quite a mess, several possibilities to set this up, and it's not quite clear how they interact. Any idea what might be going wrong?

Hi, Der neue KDE zeigt einfach weiter tooltips an, obwohl ich die Option disabled habe. Kann man das irgendwie ausschalten? Mit Gewalt? =;-) Danke Stefan -- Stefan Müller Universität Potsdam Tel: (+49) (+331) 977-2180 http://www.cl.uni-bremen.de/~stefan/ http://www.cl.uni-bremen.de/~stefan/Babel/Interaktiv/

Hi, I'm using apt to manage software on my SUSE 10.1 box. I think up to monday the apt repositories also included KDE while today it is gone. Does anybody know why?

upgrade of libxml2 damages font rendering
by Andreas Schenk 28 May '06

28 May '06

Hi, I am really curious about the solution to the following problem: I have SuSE linux 9.0 and I am using KDE 3.3.2 and truetype fonts with the help of the freetype library 6.3.3. The font rendering was brilliant. Yesterday I upgraded the libxml2 from 2.5.10 (that came with SuSE 9.0) to 2.6.24. The reason was, that xmllint didn't process the xi:include properly with the old version. Unfortunately, this upgrade had a serious impact on the font rendering. In fact, the characters where no longer displayed so sharp as before. After I got back to the old version of libxml2, the rendering was as brillliant as before. What happend here? How can I upgrade libxml2 without getting this adverse effect on font rendering? How I proceeded exactely -- if that matters: (1) I built libxml2 with the standard proceedure: ./configure --prefix=/usr/ --mandir=/usr/share/man/ make (2) I uninstalled the old libxml2 with YaST (ignoring the messages about unresolved dependencies) (3) I installed the new version with make install -------- To go back to the old version: (4) I ran make uninstall (5) I installed the old libxml2 with YaST. Thanks for any help Andreas.

Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe, dass ich mit Deutsch weiter komme, sonst hätte ich zusätzlich ein zeitliches Problem. Wie kann ich bei Kontact - Kalender, den Kalender so ausdrucken wie er auch auf dem Bildschirm erscheint? also, Querformat in Farbe verplante Zeiten grün nicht genutzte Zeiten grau Bei mir kommt alles Mögliche heraus, nur kein Plan der grafisch, belegte oder nicht belegte Tages/Wochenzeiten anzeigt - den man auch auf Folie kopieren könnte um ihn via Overhead-Projektor in die "Wand zu werfen".

SUSE 10.1 KDE and XGL
by Marcel Mourguiart 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi, i just installed SUSE 10.1, and wanted to try XGL, which i had tried in SUSE 10.0, but compiz, doesn't work correctly with KDE 3.5.2, i was hoping this was a SUSE 10.0 bug, and was hopefully to be resolved in 10.1 Now i see the same problems with KDE in SUSE 10.1: 1. When i minimize a window, this windows just disappear, doesn't go to task bar. 2. The virtual desktop navigator in the task bar is use less. Is there a plan or a work in progress to get XGL complete working with KDE ?? pd: Please excuse my bad english. -- Marcel Mourguiart

Camera and fob fight to the death
by elefino 21 May '06

21 May '06

SUSE 10.0, KDE 3.5.2 level a. I got a new camera several weeks ago (Panasonic FZ30, if it matters). I end up rebooting a lot (more than Windows now) because so many (four or five) things automatically start up every time the camera is connected. There are a couple of camera-specific dialogs (DigiKam and something else), a couple of KDE Daemon windows - one that says "USB Mass Storage Interface" and shows a camera icon, and one that says "2.1G Removable Media" and shows USB thumbdrive or flash fob. Sometimes I can dismiss the ones that I don't want, OK the one that works (the USB Mass Storage Interface), and get a Konq window that lets me browse and transfer files from the camera to PC. Roughly three times out of four, however, several of the pop-up dialogs are just locked. Can't be OK'd, can't be Configured, can't be Cancelled. I end up killing stuff with KSysguard. If I want to connect the camera, I reboot and try again. Somehow, this seems to be sub-optimal behavior, though I could be wrong. By what part of the interface do I tell K-whatever to open only one dialog (one that will work) when I connect the camera? At least, how do I tell it to permit me to dismiss the ones that I don't want, without interlocking them all into uselessness? I'd prefer not to use Windows for the camera stuff. Thanks, Kevin

10.1 nonsense
by ianseeks 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi I've just had the displeasure of installed 10.1. It is full of gnome stuff - where has the normal KDE YOU gone? This some stupid updater in the tray where SuseWatcher used to be and you can't kill it. I cant seem to find anyway to update to KDE3.5.2. Sorry - i'm in rant mode - looks like i'll be going back to 9.3 - back to the land of total KDE. Ian

[10.1] Kate - Same Unix Process ?
by Greg 18 May '06

18 May '06

Hi what happened to the option to open files in Kate in the same Unix process ? Seems like it got replaced with a bunch of session options and no compartive option ? 4 years + and I now I'm risking editing the same twice in different windows because I have to think about which window that file opened in and possibly that I already started editing - thinking is not an option after four years.

10.1: Laptop bootet nicht mehr nach Suspend to RAM
by Thomas Börkel 17 May '06

17 May '06

HI! Ich habe es gewagt, nach der Installation von Suse 10.1 mal "Suspend to RAM" auszuprobieren bei meinem Asus M6Ne. Er hat sich auch brav ausgeschaltet, nur nach dem Einschalten tut sich jetzt nichts mehr. Ich habe dann per längerem Drücken auf den Powerbutton (vermeintlich) ganz ausgeschaltet, aber dennoch bootet er jetzt nicht mehr. Nach dem Einschalten habe ich einfach einen schwarzen Bildschirm. Keine BIOS-Meldungen, kein gar nichts. Was kann ich tun? Danke! Thomas

Why doesn't KDE work the same
by Thierry de Coulon 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hello, I've upgraded a Thinkpad X31 from 10.0 to 10.1: great. Then I've upgraded a T43p: every time the laptop is started all icons are jammed in the upper left corner. Any settings change has no effect (unchecked the "line up icons", locked them into place, etc... Before I restore the backup to get 10.0 back (loosing suspend to RAM but regaining the icons and the wireless), has anyone a clue as to why the icons misbehave in one case but not in the other?

DMA + SuSE 10.1
by ianseeks 14 May '06

14 May '06

Has anyone had any success setting it on for their DVD or CD players? I keep getting the error :- An error has occurred while activating the changes Cannot set required mode '%1' for device %2 Perhaps they could have at least got the error message correct. I presume %1 should have been "DMA on (Default mode) and %2 was /dev/hdc. Ian
