I've had the same problem, too. It also happens with knotes 2.2x under kde 3.01. I hope you get an answer on this. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

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...

Help needed with Konqueror error
by Antoni Mont 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

Hi all, I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux, and I would appreciate if someone can help me with this trouble: Suddenly Konqueror refuse to handle htlm web sites. When I try to open a web site, a message pops up asking if I want to save on disk or open it with Konqueror (this message never appeared before). If I select "open" an error message arises saying that it seems to be a bad configuration because Konqueror can't handle text/html files. On the other side I have tried as root and it works perfectly. it seems to be something with the configuration of the Konqueror has become corrupted, but only for my usual user name, and not for the root. As for the htlm files stored on disk, I can open they without any difficulty. (?). Thanks, Toni

Embedded Konsole font error
by Joe Sullivan 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hey all, When using Konsole by itself, I have no problems. But when using a "terminal emulator" embedded into Konqueror or Kate, turning the terminal emulator on gives a "Font '13' not found." Where can I change the settings for this embedded terminal? It works after I "OK" the error, but getting that error popup each time is starting to get annoying. Using: SuSE 7.3 Pro, KDE 3.0.1, installed all my TT fonts from Windoze98, etc. Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy, can you spare a click?
by Kevin McLauchlan 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

G'day all. This is another of my curiosity questions. Nothing is broken, I'm just curious... :-) In K-Mail, my Folders view shows something like: Mail | |- Inbox (22) |- outbox (1) |- sent-mail |- trash |- drafts |- Panda | |- inbox (12) | |- Booking_and_procedures (11) | |- Calendar | |- Contacts : : : : several more Outlook server folders : : | +- Public Folders | |_ Tasks (2) |- [SLE] |- FrameUsers |- SuSE-KDE (277) "Panda" is our incoming mail server. If I want my mail, I must click on "Panda" (which does nothing visible...) and then click on the "inbox" under Panda. If I just click "Panda", nothing further happens. If I just click Panda's "inbox", nothing further happens. If I click "Panda" and then I click "inbox", then K-Mail downloads the latest batch from the server. Note that, when I open K-Mail, Panda's folder list is already expanded. I don't need to click view the subfolders. So, why the need to click the server name before clicking the name of the inbox on the server? Just curious. Anybody know? Yeah, I know it's frivolous, but there's been no action in this list for a week. Everybody on vacation? Cheers, /kevin

SuSE8.0: Unable to login after NIS+automounter started
by Neal M. Holtz 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hi, I've had SuSE 8.0 installed for a few hours, not long enough for me to completely mess it up. After I used YaST2 to enable NIS and automounting, I cannot log into any of the NIS user accounts through the graphical console login. The symptom is that the screen goes blank for a second or two, and the login screen comes back, with no diagnostic that I can see. The only thing that is written in /var/log/messages is: Jun 25 15:42:03 girt automount[31478]: attempting to mount entry /users/nholtz Jun 25 15:42:12 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session started for user nholtz, service xdm Jun 25 15:42:13 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session finished for user nholtz, service xdm The automount line looks reasonable (and correct). I can login on the grpahics console to any of the local (non-NIS managed accounts, non automounted accounts). I can also login to the NIS/automounted accounts from a shell using su, or remotely using ssh, so all the nis/automounting mechanism seems to be working OK. Its just the console logins that are a problem. Its probably a PAM setting somewhere, but I've looked quite a bit and couldn't find anything. There are enough differences from my existing installation of about 10 Caldera servers, that I'm lost. Also couldn't find anything in SuSE support DB. I would be grateful for any help.

Kmail starts over and over
by Anders Dahlqvist 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Whenever I enter X, be it in kde3, windowmaker or any other window manager, kmail starts just before the window manager starts, and it is not in my ~/.xinitrc . When I close down kmail, it restarts a minute or so after. It is as though I were running a script " while [ true ]; do kmail &; sleep 60; done" ;=) "grep -r kmail .[a-zA-Z]* " doesn't give me any clues. Clues, anyone? -- "He's just a politician trying to save both his faces ..."

Knotes forgets which notes are open
by Jens Hatlak 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

I'm running SuSE 7.3 and KDE 3.01 on my laptop. Everything is working but for one thing: KDE is configured to save the environment settings when logging out. Still Knotes (the desktop PostIt-style notes program) refuses to show up with those notes that were open when I closed my last KDE session. Knotes starts up and the notes are still under its kicker applet's context menu entry "Notes", but they simply don't show up on screen after logging in. Any ideas? It worked as expected (all open notes on the different virtual desktops, resp.) in KDE 2.2.2 which I deinstalled. :-/ MfG Jens -- Jens Hatlak <http://jens.hatlak.de/> Jugendnetz Frankfurt Adminteam <http://ffm.junetz.de/>
