Moving KMail and GPG profiles to a new KDE environment

by Alberto Curro

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Last times, I were using Linux Redhat versions in my laptop. Now, I've moved to SuSE 8.0, and my troubles begins when I decided to move my profile (mail, GPG keys and ring, etc.) to SuSE. First, I was using KDE 3.0.4 recompiled in Redhat from sources. So, as with SuSE came the same KDE version, I just tried to copy the Mail directory to my $HOME. Also copied the GnuPG data, and my konqueror and mail addresses. Everything seems to be working but kMail has now a weird behaviour. If I tried to open some e-mail saved previously in redhat, kMail only show a "Nobody" for sender, and "no subject", and the mail seems to have no content. With the new mails, everything works okay. Any idea?

Konqueror Permissions

by Brian Marr

Has anyone found a work around for changing permissions of directories in Konq ? In the Properties dialogue box it is possible to change permissions. But there is also a check box for permissions to be changed recursively in directories beneath the current one. This is not working and I am forced find other means to do the job. Is it possible to fix this ? Brian Marr

Fwd: Konqueror Permissions

by Brian Marr

Found it ! Konq does change the permissions. You have to hit reload for it to show the changes.

Quanta too wide for screen

by Bob Rea

I am using Quanta Plus 3.0-pr1, which came with SuSE 8.1 Pro. I can only resize the window vertically, and not horizontally. It is wider than my screen at 768 x 1024. Is there a work-around for this? Is there a later version, and if so, where can i find an rpm for 8.1? -- Bob Rea mailto:gapetard@stsams.org http://www.petard.us Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg

YaST2 Modules Cannot Be Launched from the KDE Control Center

by Miguel Corbella

I don't know if this will solve my problem but I found one note in Suse Support about this problem : "When you try to start single YaST2 modules from the KDE Control Center, you only obtain a grey screen" this is what is happenning in my computer after updating to KDE 3.0.4 from original KDE 3.0.0 then in this note instruct to download the files : Kdebase3-SuSE.rpm & susewm.rpm from sites : ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/kde1/ & ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.0/xwm1/ and install with : rpm -Uhv package_name.rpm. This in principle have to solve my problem but also Patrick commented to me that "SuSE 8.0 kde files had a bug in the kdelibs3 update files and could cause some of the problems you mentioned. The solution was to compile from the src.rpm of kdelibs3 for your system and then install that resulting rpm. That would cure any problems you were experiencing." Then I downloaded the kdelibs3-3.0.5-0.i386.rpm for updating directly to KDE 3.0.5 and also kdebase3-3.0.4-32.i386.rpm but I don't know if I have to install 1st this and after kdebase3-Suse.rpm or it doesn't matter. Also I downloaded qt3-non-mt-3.0.5.i386.rpm. I hope that with all this updates I will be able to run KDE 3.0.5 propertly in my SUSE 8.0. I will advise to you my result, also if anybody knows abt this problem and already solved it pls advise. Brgds Miguel
