Hi all,

I've already sent this email to openSUSE main list, but got no response or advice. I'm hooping that this list will give a few help/hints on what is going on.

I have several problems on my both openSUSE 10.2 installation. These problems are just the ones I've found:

My immediate guess is that the problem is coming from the build service packages. Everyone's on 10.3 these days, not sure if anyone is actively using+testing the 10.2 packages. Why not upgrade to 10.3? =)

I will eventually. But I will only be able to in about two weeks on my home PC. At work... well... I can't even tell... But also will upgrade eventually.

- Kopete doesn't even try to connect to my configured MSN accounts. I've even tried to recompile kdenetwork3-3.5.8 and the results are the same.

Try removing your configuration settings for that user, then restarting kopete, and trying again:

mv ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc{,_old} && mv ~/.kde/share/apps/kopete{,_old}

...

- The sysinfo:/ on Konqueror does not work correctly - Strange icons... the dvd doesn't appear, etc.

Screenshot? Does the DVD appear under media:/

Forgot to mention. the DVD is a USB one. All removable devices will not appear. Here it the screenshot http://www.ruisantos.com/~rsantos/sysinfo.png

...

- The ftp:/ on Konqueror does not work.

What error message? Timeout?

Immediate Error message: An error occurred while loading ftp://user@server

...

- If I insert a USB Pen or DVD there is no popup notifying that a new media has been inserted and, as stated above, it will not be shown on Konqueror's sysinfo:/

It is a OpenSUSE 10.2 installation, containing latest kde-3.5.8 from the build service. I also have a lot of other repositories - mainly from Build Service.

Both my home and work machines are showing the exact same behaviors so, it is not a single machine's problem. What could be wrong? Am I the only one with this problem ? Can anyone help me on this ?

Haven't heard of anyone else having these problems... the KDE packages in the build service are unsupported. Upgrading to 10.3 is a good idea though. You can even install it from the live CD (easy option if you have /home on a separate partition).

As might have already seen by my wrongly sent to openSUSE KDE list, Alvin Beach was kind enough to send me an email stating that his problems are similar to mines. I'm kind of relieved... I was really thinking I was the only one... Just to keep note that all this problems do disappear with the command: kded --check && kded --new-startup

Kind thoughts,
