root login disabled for kdm
by Baks 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

I'm running suse 9.0 with kde 3.1.4 that comes with suse. I recently changed the file permissions in Yast from easy to secure. Since then I have failed to login kde as root though I can login as root on the console. I changed the permission back to easy but still I can't login as root. I've seen similar cases on the mailinglists but all solution they are giving are not helping me, i.e., /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc should be a simbolic link to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I also checked that I have AllowRootLogin=true in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I don't know if there is anything more I need to check. Baks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Can't find YaST
by Mike Blonder 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi. I've downloaded the RPMs from SuSE to upgrade KDE to 3.2 from the 3.14 that ships with SuSE 9.0. I cannot finish installing the .RPMs as once I installed kdebase3 and removed old konqueror, kate, etc KDE 3.2 lost YaST as default installer for .rpm files. Anyone know the x app to call for YaST2? It appeared to be /sbin/YaST2 but it isn't working. I get the prompt to enter admin password, but nothing happens from then on. Alternatively, does anyone know the shell syntax for rpm to remove old conflicting copies as well as to install the new apps, etc? I am using rpm -ivh <file>.rpm it tells me the conflicting files but then bombs. Thanks Mike

some questions before I upgrade to kde-3.2.2
by Rob 31 May '04

31 May '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I was thinking of upgrading my SuSE-9.0 to KDE-3.2.2 (using 3.2.0 now). So I downloaded all the packages from a KDE mirror. Going through the list of files raised some questions I'd like to have answered before I start, though... I hope you can help. 1) kdebindings seems to be missing There are no packages kdebindings3-*-3.2.2. ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/applicati… lists kdebindings3-*-3.1.4. The KDE-3.2.2 info page does list a kdebindings-3.2.2. Do I install the 3.1.4 packages? 2) languagepack is called *.src.rpm All languagepacks are named as source rpms. `rpm -qpl' looks okay, though, so I guess this should have just been *.noarch.rpm. Just install it? 3) kde-3.2.2 contained bugs The KDE-3.2.2 info page shows some bugs. Since the SuSE-KDE packages date from before the official KDE-3.2.2 release date, I guess those bugs are still present in the packages? And now that I'm sending this mail anyway, could someone explain to me why SuSE chooses to split up all KDE packages into smaller (but more) chunks?

further issues with 3.2.x
by Mike Blonder 31 May '04

31 May '04

Hi. I have found the following additional issues with KDE 3.2.x running with my SuSE 9.0 distribution: 1) MSFonts have been altered. Bold is blurred on my display (Dell Trinitron CRT 19") 2) Windows do not come up sized uniformly. For example, I am unable to modify panel attributes from the KControl application since I cannot see the bottom of the window to click on OK. What is the shell command to change panel attributes? 3) Right mouse hovers over icons in the panel and elsewhere do not "evaporate" when the mouse is moved away. <escape> does not remove them either. This is particularly vexing in the panel area as the titles obscure other icons that I need. Mike

Programs autostarting twice
by mozatlan elven 30 May '04

30 May '04

After upgrading to the latest Gaim via apt, Gaim now starts up twice when logging into KDE. I have checked the autostart directory, but nothing is in there. I have closed Gaim, logged out (forcing the session to save), and logged back in. Gaim (as it should) does not start. If I then start Gaim, log out, then log back in, Gaim starts twice. Any ideas? Running SuSE 9.1 with all upgrades and patches applied via apt. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with the new version of MSN Messenger!

Mouse pointer problem in KDM (SuSE 9.1)
by Mike Béla 30 May '04

30 May '04

I changed the mouse pointer theme for root and every common user, and I also changed the default mouse pointer in YaST's sysconfig editor (SuSE 9.1). But the KDM login manager does'nt follows these settings. In KDM the mouse pointer remains the unthemed one. I never met this bug under SuSE 9.0. -Bela-
