kde 3.0.4 rpms vir SuSE 8.0
by H du Plooy 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Hi all, I installed the KDE 3.0.4 rpms for SuSE 8.1 Pro from the local mirror of ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.4/SuSE/ix86/8.0 - ftp://ftp.sun.ac.za/mirrorsites/ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.4/SuSE/ix86/… I'm having a little problem now, KDE apps seem to just close all by them selves if I do something like click help - about. My question: are the kde rpms for SuSE on KDE's site the same as those on SuSE's site? The local university mirrors KDE but not SuSE.

artsd in a network
by Anders Johansson 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

I've asked this before, but since I didn't receive any helpful suggestions (or indeed any at all) I'll try again. It's possible according to the artsd documentation to get it to work transparently over a network. In other words, if there's an arts daemon running on computer A, programs running on computer B connect to it to output sound. I believe I'm relatively good at getting things to work in linux, but no matter how many times I read the faq and follow its instructions, all sound from the programs on computer B are played on computer B, while computer A - in a different room - is completely silent. My question is simply: has anyone managed to get this to work? TIA Anders

If your desktop icon isn't working, it's probably just the properties of that which need changing. The permissions must be set right both in the desktop icon, and more importantly on /media/firewire, and in the device tab you must specify the device as it's known in the /dev tree, e.g. /dev/sda1, etc. The mountpoint is informational and can't be changed in the desktop link properties, I assume it reads it off /etc/fstab. If mounting as a user and 'ls /media/firewire' aren't working, then we need to look again.

Double Posting
by Patrick 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Hey all, Sorry everyone about the double posting on the KMail problem, but don't blame me, it was KMail's fault! Who do we complain too now? Is this a SuSE introduced bug or KDE? I don't much like it though, since I do so much email work. Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206

Sending in KMail?
by Patrick 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Ok, I know this has been mentioned a time or two, but I don't remember the fix, if there was one? When after composing an email in Kmail now since getting the more recent updates, it crashes when you tell it to send or queue it? It doesn't destroy the mail as I can reload Kmail and send later. What is that all about and can it be fixed? Here are some of the error messages I am getting from my .xsession-errors file: *** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing) KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kmail path = <unknown> pid = 22030 No parent pixmap for child widget QViewportWidget or *** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing) KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kmail path = <unknown> pid = 21986 Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy Is one going to have to go back to the previous kdenetwork rpm dated Oct 10?

KDE 3.0.1 and gpg
by Richard StClair 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

I'm running SuSE 8.0, gnupg 1.0.6, Kmail 1.4 and KDE 3.0.0 on some of my desktops and wanted to upgrade to the Star Office 6.0 that is sold as a patch/update CD specifically for SuSE 8.0. After updating the Star Office and the patches which includes KDE 3.0.1 I am unable to encrypt email with gpg under kmail. I can decrypt incoming but have lost the ability to encrypt outgoing maill. The lock icon is hazed out etc. I had to start over on that particular machine...the encryption is mission critical for me. So I put it all back to 8.0 stock out of the box....installed only the Star Office 6.0 update from the CD and everything is fine. So, I'm guessing that it's something to do with the KDE update. Anybody know how to fix that? I would like to do the 3.0.1 KDE update if I could make it work. -- Regards, Richard Saint Clair, Co-Founder Technical Manager Internet Users Society Niue Chairman, Pacific Island Chapter ISOC -------------------------------------------- stclair(a)niue.nu www.niue.nu Voice (68 3) 4630 Fax (68 3) 4237 Internet Service Provider, Niue Island -------------------------------------------- ISP/C, ISOC, APIA, NCOC, ISOCNZ, PICISOC, ARRL -------------------------------------------- Niue Island South Pacific 169 West 19 South

Real KDE Support
by MET 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I'm a RedHat user getting tired of their 'support' for KDE. So I'm looking for another distro that has quality and truly supports KDE. Everyone's telling me to use Suse. So here I am. So what's the real deal? Does YaST offer support for the updates to KDE allowing me to easily update or do I have to manually update like in RedHat (rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm)? Advice, suggestions, comments please. ~ Matthew

Help with Error Message
by Paul Conn 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

I would appreciate some help understanding an error message I have received on trying to run a program. I have just installed a program called bookcase, which is a frontend for an xml based data file on book collections. The ./configure make (su) checkinstall went fine with no errors. The rpm is installed. However, when trying to run the program from a terminal window I get this error message: Quote: ~> /usr/local/kde/bin/bookcase /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/dotnet.so: Feature dotNET already defined in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins//styles/dotnet.so! /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/light.so: Feature Light, 2nd revision already defined in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins//styles/light.so! /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/styles/light.so: Feature Light, 3rd revision already defined in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins//styles/light.so! KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = bookcase path = <unknown> pid = 21617 Alarm clock ~> Endquote: Is this something to do with the program looking for old libraries - certainly it does not seem to like something in the KDE environment. It also appears to have a path problem, that I could probably fix. Any guidance appreciated! I am running SuSE8.0 with KDE3.0.2
