by Steve Edmonds 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Hi. I have SUSE 8.2 pro, kmail 1.5.1, KDE 3.1.1, cups, remote lpd printer. and I cannot print from kmail. Kmail locks up with the formatting page and print cancel button showing and cannot be killed without exiting X. Other programs print ok. Any suggestions appreciated as I would like to print an email without cut and pasting the contents to a text document. Thanks, steve

Junk Mail.
by Malcolm Candlish 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Dear List Members, Having lost a lot of important business mail, I am enquiring as to whether members have found a successful way of dealing with 'junk'. Could it be that 'Evolution' is being selective and not including some mail, or has my enthusiasm for deletion got the better of me! Very fortunately I also have Mutt on board and that which was lost, was collected. Has anyone tryed Spamassasin or other utility for selecting out junk and more importantly does it work. Thank you for your time. Malcolm Candlish.

Upgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.1.3
by Pavan K Balellugari 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to see how do i upgrade the KDE from current 3.1.1 to 3.1.3. I see that 3.1.3 is the latest on Suse KDE download site. Till Now my Yast Online Update(YOU) didn't tell me anything about this new version of KDE. I am using the download version of Suse 8.2. Would this be the reason why the YOU never told me about the KDE 3.1.3?? If i want to upgrade to 3.1.3 can i just download the files from the Suse KDE site & install them??. Would it install over the existing 3.1.1 ?? Any other pointers regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks Pavan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Lost key assignments (backslash)
by Pierre Lor 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Good morning, I have installed SuSE 8.2 pro on a machine with a belgian layout keyboard. My keyboard has been as followed configured: Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "MapName" "Standard Keyboard [ pc104 ]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "be" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" EndSection In terminal mode (without X11 stuff) all works fine. But once under running under X11 I have lost the key with the < > and \ on it. At the SuSE support site they say to configure the keyboard as a pc105. It resolves my key assignment but by backslash becomes a '|'. Even stranger when I select my keyboard layout in de SuSE configuration panel and test my keyboard in the keyboard test screenfield it works ! And when I close the SuSE configuration it till works everywhere..... until I reboot. This behaviour occurs only under KDE. Other windowmanagers works fine Has somebody an idee on it ? Thanks a lot. ps. I have installed all latest patches from SuSE.

KDE 3.1.3 problems: DPMS, Lock/Logout Applet, and kstart
by Bob Pearson 30 Aug '03

30 Aug '03

Hi, I recently updated to kde3.1.3 on a SuSE 8.2 Professional AMD Athlon machine with all YOU updates applied. I run a "blank screen" screensaver that used to turn on after 30 minutes of idle time (this is still set in "Control Center->Appearance & Themes-> Screen Saver"). I had DPMS disabled in sax2 for my NEC 5FG (really a NEC 6FG). After about five minutes of idle time, the monitor goes "off" and the "Lock/Logout" applet doesn't always lock the desktop. I have experimented with "Control Center->Power Management->Display Power Control" by enabling DPMS and setting "Standby after", "Suspend after", and "Power Off After" all to "Disabled". I have toggle on and off DPMS via sax2 for the monitor (restarting the X server). Bottom line is nothing appears to get me back to the old 30 minutes and blank. This is a problem because my NEC 6FG does not like being turn off. It is old and comes back with distorted characters for five or ten minutes. Next problem, kstart doesn't do the right thing with mozilla 1.4. I have eight desktops and an Autostart file that does: /opt/kde3/bin/kstart -desktop 8 -activate "/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla -geometry 1103x904+0+0" And it always brings up mozilla on desktop 1. Any help would be appreciated.

konqueror, proxy refresh
by del 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hello All, Within IE, on a PC, you can press ctrl + f5, shift + f5 on Mac, to refresh a web page, this then goes to the web server and gets a fresh copy bypassing any proxy server caching you've setup. Is there a similar thing for konqueror? Not just refresh or f5 as that will not bypass proxy settings. TIA, -- del suse-kde

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, does somebody know why .../KDE/update_for_8.2/applications/ktamaga-0.7.2-90.i586.rpm is 6.6 MB in size (compared to the 1.6 MB of the original ktamaga v0.7.1-1038 coming with SuSE 8.2) and why the rpm contains all these files: /opt/kde3/bin/artsc-config /opt/kde3/bin/artscat /opt/kde3/bin/artsd /opt/kde3/bin/artsdsp /opt/kde3/bin/artsmessage /opt/kde3/bin/artsplay /opt/kde3/bin/artsrec /opt/kde3/bin/artsshell /opt/kde3/bin/artswrapper /opt/kde3/bin/checkXML /opt/kde3/bin/dcop /opt/kde3/bin/dcopclient /opt/kde3/bin/dcopfind /opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl /opt/kde3/bin/dcopidl2cpp /opt/kde3/bin/dcopobject /opt/kde3/bin/dcopref /opt/kde3/bin/dcopserver /opt/kde3/bin/dcopserver_shutdown /opt/kde3/bin/dcopstart /opt/kde3/bin/imagetops /opt/kde3/bin/kab2kabc /opt/kde3/bin/kaddprinterwizard /opt/kde3/bin/kbuildsycoca /opt/kde3/bin/kconf_update /opt/kde3/bin/kcookiejar /opt/kde3/bin/kdb2html /opt/kde3/bin/kde-config /opt/kde3/bin/kded /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit_shutdown /opt/kde3/bin/kdeinit_wrapper /opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub /opt/kde3/bin/kdontchangethehostname /opt/kde3/bin/kfile /opt/kde3/bin/kimage_concat /opt/kde3/bin/kinstalltheme /opt/kde3/bin/kio_http_cache_cleaner /opt/kde3/bin/kio_uiserver /opt/kde3/bin/kioslave /opt/kde3/bin/klauncher /opt/kde3/bin/kmailservice /opt/kde3/bin/knotify /opt/kde3/bin/kpac_dhcp_helper /opt/kde3/bin/ksendbugmail /opt/kde3/bin/kshell [...] Looks like the complete /opt/kde3/bin directory was included in ktamaga...
