SAMBA/Network browsing problems
by Grant Wilson 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

Hi all, I have recently installed Suse 9.1 and Im having major problems with browsing and authenticating to our samba server which is configured as our primary domain controller and file server. I am using KDE 3.3 When I first installed suse I configured the smb client under YAST, when I first tried to join the domain I was succesful. When I tried to browse the network, konqueror immediately popped up saying " Internal error". I tried joining the domain from the console and I had no problems, I can even view the shares on the samba server from the console. I then tried a number of times to rejoin the domain and constantly received errors. I thought this was perhaps a bug with YAST and I did a complete online update. When I now try join the domain, the domain does not appear under YAST if I click the browse button. If I manually type in the domain and click join I dont get prompted for authentication but I dont receive any errors either. I can still manually joing the domain from the console and can still see all the shares fine from the console. I tried joining the domain from the console and then browsing the network from the desktop but I still receive the same Konqueror internal error. As a last resort I tried mounting the shares using the console with smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=username,password=password, this works fine and I am able to browse the shares from the desktop using konqueror but I am not given the privileges to access the files that my username should. It is as though I have mounted the shares but my username has not been authenticated. I have proved this by the fact that I can access shares that do not have user specific privileges, I get denied access to the ones that do. The rest of our network works perfectly with the same usernames on our windows pcs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching google and have found others with the same problem but so far have found no solution.

Attempting to get bluetooth USB device working
by Ozymandias 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Well, here is the rub, when ever I plug in the USB bluetooth transeiver I get an error mesage stating "Failed to connect to SDP Server". Details are not that very specific. I googled for possible fixes, but don't seem to be able to wade though and find anything that would point to a quick fix. Lots of details on kernel 2.4x, and patches neede to make it work, but I am on 2.6x. Full details: Dell Latitude C640 USB "Ultra" Bluetooth USB Adaptor model BTA-3000 SUSE 9.1 KDE 3.3x Can someone point me in the right direction to start, or offer any suggestions as to what I have goofed on? Lance -- Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing? Book: Very specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzy around the area of kneecaps. -Firefly, "War Stories"

kuickshow disappeared in latest kdegraphics3
by Martin Farmilo 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

I've just noticed that my kuickshow appears to have vanished since picking up the latest (3.3.0-12) kdegraphics3. It doesn't appear to be in the rpm, although it claims to provide (in the 'provides' info) /opt/kde3/bin/kuickshow. It also seems to be absent from the 3.3.0-10 package. It's still in the kde menu, and graphics files attempt to open in it, but fail since it isn't on my system. Martin Farmilo

k3b brennt nicht mehr!
by Thorsten Weber 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hallo Liste, ich habe seit kurzer Zeit ein Problem mit k3b. K3B bringt in einer Systemmeldung folgendes: "cdrecord kann nicht ohne root-Berechtigung laufen Es wird dringend empfohlen, "cdrecord" so einzurichten, dass es mit Systemverwaltungsrechten läuft. Nur dadurch läuft "cdrecord" mit hoher Priorität, wodurch der Brennvorgang stabiler wird. Viele Probleme können dadurch gelöst werden. Alternativ kann "resmgr" von SuSE verwendet werden. Lösung: Verwenden Sie den K3b-Einrichtungsassistenten zur Lösung dieses Problems. cdrdao kann nicht ohne root-Berechtigung laufen Es wird dringend empfohlen, "cdrdao" so einzurichten, dass es mit Systemverwaltungsrechten läuft. Nur dadurch läuft "cdrecord" mit hoher Priorität, wodurch der Brennvorgang stabiler wird. Lösung: Verwenden Sie den K3b-Einrichtungsassistenten zur Lösung dieses Problems." Die Rechte sind wie folgt gesetzt: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 364570 2004-04-06 03:28 /usr/bin/cdrecord -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 666452 2004-04-07 08:28 /usr/bin/cdrdao -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1688585 2004-08-05 05:02 /opt/kde3/bin/k3b Ich weiß nicht an welcher Schraube ich drehen soll, damit k3b wieder brennt... Muß ich k3b auf eine höhere Version updaten? Ich fahr auf SuSE 9.1 mit KDE 3.2.1, k3b 0.11.12-4.1, kernel 2.6.5-7.108 Über ein paar hilfreiche Tips & Tricks würde ich mich sehr freuen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Thorsten Weber

Kontact and Kpilot, sync works but where is my data?
by Adam Smyczek 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

Hello, I try to get my data from pilot to Kontact. Sync works without problems and in Kpilot is all my data. But how do I get it to Kontact? On my system is Suse 9.1 personal installed with latest yast updates (Kde 3.3, Kpilot 4.4.4 Wolfsburg and Kontact 1.0 form supplementary directory). Conduits in Kpilot are set and I tried to save my addresses to standard addressbook and in a vCard file. Did I miss a configuration option? Adam

Re: [suse-kde] konsole crashing with kdebase3-3.3.0-15 SuSE 9.1

Hi Luca! Thanks, you saved me. :) Disabled the new extensions Composite and RENDER and konsole works fine again. I will try to go deeper into this in the meanwhile and will look for xorg bug reports, too.

Slow launch of KDE apps
by alberto-g 27 Sep '04

27 Sep '04

Hi, I upgraded to Suse 9.1 and found the KDE applications launch (all of them) very slow. Google reports other people having this problem. Sometimes it seems related to a problem with name resolving, but I don't think this is my case. I tested different PCs and the problem remains. On the same hardware (k6-2 400 MHz, 256M Ram) this are some timings: Konsole start, repeated several times to be shure it is in cache: Suse 9.1: 6 seconds Suse 8.2: 1.5 seconds Knoppix 3.6 (kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2.3) 2 seconds It doesn't matter if it is launched from the console or from menu. Other X applications (Xeyes) start in no time. Things get worse on slower hardware. During the launch time the cpu seems to be very busy, while the disk is barely accessed. It seems to me something is wrong with Suse 9.1. Am I the only one with this problem? Alberto
