kde 3.0.4 wont start automatically
by Pete 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

Hy, im using suse 8.0. Ive upgradet to kde 3.0.4 using rpm -F * and after that SuSEconfig of course. But now KDE wont start automatically. After login (graphical login) X-Ser= ver=20 is running with a console window. Now Windowmanager. When i enter "kde" into the terminal, kde launches and everything works f= ine. Any ideas what i can do to make kde starting automatically again ?! last lines of $HOME/.xinitrc: # # Add your own lines here... # /usr/lib/java/bin/java -classpath=20 /home/baldur/storage/data/projekte/castpopup/class Popupclient.StartMyPop= up &=20 # day planer deamon # pland & # # finally start the window manager # exec $WINDOWMANAGER kbiff --profile default & # call failsafe exit 0 but this worked with kde 3.0.3 fine !

Re: [suse-kde] IDE CDRW
by Carl William Spitzer IV 22 Oct '02

Well I tried again with the LiteON IDE-CDRW 40x12x48. Like the guy I borrowed the original disks from I could not get past disk 2 without skipping and eventually used disk 5. I beleive the set was bad from the factory or in transit. With 7.2 last week I was able to install using all CDR therefore I do not beleive its a drive issue. Also It did not recoginze music disks in the drive. In root it gave me an error message telling me to log in as root to configure the drive.

Ungefragte Änderungen von Schriftgrößen
by Frank Yonatan Baule 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hallo, ich bin absolut neu in der Liste und hoffe, daß die Sache nicht bereits in div. Threads behandelt worden ist. Regulär läuft bei mir KDE mit Schriftgröße 10. Manchmal jedoch und v.a. nach Unregelmäßigkeiten erscheinen nach einem Neustart die Schriften in Größe 8, ohne daß die Einstellungen sich geändert hätten. Es beginnt immer die die gleiche Prozedur: Öffnen Kontrollzentrum - Ändern der Größe auf 12 - Übernehmen - Schrift ist dann auf Größe 10 - Ausschalten - Wiederhochfahren - Schriften sind dann in Größe 12 - Kontrollzentrum - Verkleinern der Größe auf 10 - und Übernehmen. Um das ein für alle mal abzuschalten, wie kann ich verhindern, daß sich die Schriftgrößen ungefragt ändern? Grüße aus Berlin Frank Baule

Re: [suse-kde] kmail crash

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Le Mardi 22 Octobre 2002 13:38, vous avez écrit : > Thanks for your mail.

I think I will also upgrade to 8.1, even that I'm a > little bit scared about doing an update to 8.1 after reading all those bad > reviews from the net. Do you had problems upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1? I upgraded yesterday, and it was the best install I've seen so far: - - Firewire board and cdburner detected at install time - - TV card, sound card with MIDI capacities, parallel port printer, USBV scanner, network card, serial modem, DVD and Zip drives configured correctly automatically - - graphics card configured correctly with 3D and dual-head - - the new Sax2 did not detect my graphic tablet (it does not look for it) but has an option to write the correct configuration for it in XF86Config so you only have to specify the device - - Grub by default (no more "Oops, I forgot to type lilo before reboot") - - CUPS by default (it is stable now) - - KDE 3.0.3 is very good, an official update for 3.0.4 is available - - Windows partition detected for boot menu and access in Linux All that in 45 minutes (counting some time in YaST2 selecting packages individually). In fact, only my joystick was not automatically found (USB model)! And my mouse wheel has not configured, but I think it is available in Sax2, I just forgot it (the usual "ZAxisMapping" option). I also regret that a few packages have disappeared. So far I have noticed this for JBuilder, INes and Kylix. And, as in 7.3 and 8.0, no french packages for manpages, howtos, Openoffice and Mozilla. GCC 3.2 seems to suit KDE very well. KDE was quite fast for me before (at least since 3.0.1 when they used the new malloc) and it is even better now. The only I don't like, but it is personal, is that they split the KDE packages. kdebase3 is now split in 9 packages (kdebase3, SuSE, devel, devel-doc, extra, kdm, konqueror, ksysguardd, nsplugin, samba). Same for kdenetwork3, kdesdk3, kdegames3, etc. I understand it is good if you want to install only what you really need (less space, etc) but it is a hell if you just want a complete KDE install... Well, personal opinion, as I said. - -- Thibaut Cousin email : cousin(a)in2p3.fr web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9tW9Kv1vqsTa1E4oRAqBTAJwMjCeIpD0axYw8XSnfnPAoNhWLiwCfQUlB T0Gatk8VhMl0jDqWtMqQuGE= =IJXS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[suse-kde] kmail crash
by Thibaut Cousin 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have this very annoying KMail crash every time I send an email. Here is what I can say about it: - - I relate it to a bad Qt library, as the backtrace points to libqt-mt.so. - - It happens also in KDevelop (try "New project") and I found that people have the same problem in Debian. - - I had no problem with the first pack of 3.0.4 updates that SuSE released. This problem appears with the second pack of 3.0.4 updates from the 10th od October (the one still on their FTP server now). - - It happens only in 8.0. I upgraded one of my boxes to 8.1 yesterday, no problem (with KDE 3.0.4 and Qt 3.0.5 also). I sent an email to feedback(a)suse.de. Let's wait and see... IIRC, the second pack of updates contained a new Qt 3.0.5, a new kdelibs3, etc. Maybe SuSE included a bad patch. What bothers me is that the same problem exists in Debian... Maybe you could try to use another Qt package, or find the previous one. I don't have it sorry... - -- Thibaut Cousin email : cousin(a)in2p3.fr web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9tR2Pv1vqsTa1E4oRAsxEAKCs/IRycFP3Isnz40nsOzx5MNU+UgCdFB7o LzadDFPts18w23y+9posPm0= =XuzE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

kmail - OpenPGP plugin not specified - where to get it?
by Matt T. 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hi all, when I receive PGP encrypted Emails from Windose users (Eudora, PGP) kmail (from kde3.1b2) pops up an error saying "OpenPGP plugin not specified". Where do I get this plugin? I did read somewhere to check the German government sponsored Aegypten project, but there I did not see a plugin to download. Now I have to save the message, start kgpg and decrypt it, it would be so much nicer to have kmail handling the decryption for me. Thanks, Matt
