I did that and recognized that the link .Xresources -> .Xdefaults was owned by root, also group root. But could that possibly crash the whole system? Funny thing is that it really does not happen as root, but only as a normal user. So if anyone has any other recommendations, I'd be very very happy...

KMail Problem
by doc 31 May '02

31 May '02

I have SuSE 8.0 successfully installed on my office PC ... a windows-free machine to make a point. Konqueror and Everybuddy function fine, or at least they do after running YaST2 update. KMail is still not functioning properly. The office network is DHCP through a 56k modem ... soon to be upgraded to a T1 line ... hooray! The manual has been no help. Any suggestions as to where I might start looking, please? Thanks! doc

KDE freeze on startup
by Jim Barnes 31 May '02

31 May '02

Vanilla 7.3 installation. Kde loads and then freezes just before desktop icons appear. Mouse is still available. No response from right click on desktop. Panel icons wash out with mouse over but no action when pushed. No response from ctrl-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-del, or ctrl-alt-f*. Power recycle is the only option. The box is 350 miles away, used by my 83 year old mom, and I am trying to recover her system for her by phone. Any obvious places to begin? I can give her root access and talk her through things but can't ssh to it yet. -- Jim Barnes -- Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet, you can't win. -Lazarus Long -- SuSE linux 8.0, 2.4.18-4GB, KMail 1.4 -- 6:46am up 1:00, 2 users, load average: 0.12, 0.14, 0.11

checking supported mime types in Konqueror?
by Lennart Börjeson 31 May '02

31 May '02

Is there any JavaScript/ECMAscript method, equivalent to Navigator's navigator.mimeTypes array, which can be used to check if a certain mimeType is "known" to Konqueror? (The goal: To make a web page which checks for Java Web Start being installed before directing the user to a JWS application. The demos at http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/demos.html only shows how to do this for IE and Navigator.) -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson ! Partner, Developer ! Cinnober Financial Technology AB !

For some reason my Kmail started generating an error message when I try to send. Error 127 on execution. It still receives fine, but the outbox just builds up. Any ideas?

Suse8 - Danger, Go Back if yours is a prod. machine

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . I've just spent three weeks configuring, and tracking down problems, and at this point I 've got to wave off those with production systems. KMail is ignoring changes to its config file, and its GPG is not compatible with Windows; Junkbuster doesn't bust junk; Postfix isn't delivering mail; ext3 is slow; Konqsu can't right-click|Edit files; root Panel has forgotten all its contents; this list is dead; permissions scattered throughout the filesystem are wrong; KAlarm doesn't alarm; my AlpsMD5000 still doesn't work in Cups; and ten other significant problems that I'm too frustrated to list here. I have all the updates. And I'm running K3.0.1 . All the above apps run... but they don't work, for a hundred different reasons that I just don't have time to investigate. 8 is not ready.

Suse menu
by Alessandro Orsi 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hi all, Does anybody knows where SuSE men stores no KDE applications? I have lots of entry in the suse menu that I don't use at all (like all the X... programs) and I'd like to get rid of them. I managed to find where SuSE menu stores KDE applications entries so that I could orgaize them (etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk and etx/X11/susewm/AddEntrys) but no KDE applications aren't stored there. Where are stored? Any idea ? Chau, Ale. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

user questions on KMail
by Sebastian Siegert 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hi Everybody, there are some questions open in my moving from Outlook to Kmail: 1. use of arrow keys in email list currently the arrow keys are only active in the bottom frame showing the contents of the highlighted mail. I would like to page through the list of emails using the keys. Is that possible and if yes, what do I have to do? Tab does not work. 2. KMail and offline use Is it possible to start KMail in offline modus, so that I do not get this error message after some time, when I send in email into the outbox? 3. It would be nice to have Reply/send buttons together with the opened mail. Does anybody know, whether this is planned? 4. close email window with Escape? (Yes, I do come from outlook and do not wnat to use the mouse everytime I want to close the window) 5. data import/export: As I try to find a way to export data from my Nokia Communicator into Kmail, I looked at the data import/export functionality. However the numer of fields and the sorting of the fields seem to be a problem. Does anybody have experience with import of CSV files into specific fields in Kamil? Thanks for your help. Regards -- Sebastian Siegert

Dcopserver
by Steven Lobbezoo 28 May '02

28 May '02

And.... Yes, as so many others, dcopserver is refusing to let me start kde3 Before (7.3 with kde 2) all was fine. I tried everything i saw in the archives of this newsgroup. Nothing helps. So, i have to work with Gnome (works like a charm) or Windowmaker (also ok) or so.. Now, i dont know if any developres of KDE are reading into this newsgroup (they should ;-)), but i think it's obvious that the system with the dcopserver stinks! There's no real doc, nobody understands really what to do, no help - nothing. A bit difficult in that situation to stay with an otherwise great piece of software. Well, i'l wait an other week or so to see if someone has an idea (i don't anymore), and if not i'll switch over. Steven
