Greetings, I have just gotten my SuSe Workstation installed and its running great! Well, other than a few modules not loading correctly but never the less. The problem Im having is my DVD Rom drive is not working correctly and I cannot burn a CD with my RW. Both drives are IDE drives. Ive tried searching for the answer but alas, nothing to found for my particular setup. Any Ideas, or links would be great. Good Times, -- Daniel J. Rychlik Java/Perl Developer

I tried that and it still takes a very long time to load. :( -- Eric Carbone -----Original Message----- From: Lennart Börjeson [mailto:lennart.borjeson@cinnober.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 3:16 AM To: Eric Carbone; Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Launching Java apps in KDE Try java -jar ./AppName.jar in the app directory.

Launching Java apps in KDE
by Eric Carbone 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

I just installed JRE 1.4.1_01 on my SuSe 7.3 Pro / Intel PC I can confirm the installation was successful by typing 'java -version' Now, I have a java app I want to run. The app is located at /some_pathname/app/AppName.jar EXAMPLE 1: If I enter the following: cd /some_pathname/app <-- switch to directory java -jar AppName.jar <-- THEN launch app ... the java app will launch, but it takes a VERY long time to start up (maybe 2 minutes) EXAMPLE 2: however, if I enter the following instead: cd /home java -jar /some_pathname/app/AppName.jar ... the java app will launch almost immediately. For my purposes, I need to be in the directory that contains the app BEFORE I launch the app (as in the first example). Can anyone tell me why this method takes much longer? I suspect it may have something to do with a path setting but I do not know where to set this. Thanks. Eric Carbone

YAST2 modules in control center in KDE 3 on SuSE 7.3
by Stefan Schlörholz 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Hello everybody, i use a suse 7.3. and in the meantime i updated kde to 3.0.2. Since the step to the major version 3 I do have some trouble with the yast2 modules in the kde control center. They appear in the tree structure on the left but once i want to open them I get following message ----- Error - KDE Control Module There was an error loading the module Details: The diagnostics is: Possible reasons: - An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module - You have old third party modules lying aroound ... ----- What happened there? I recall that I installed some packages from the update directory for 8.0 (I think this was posted on this list as a solution to have the modules in KDE 3) in order to get the modules back in. Was it susehelpcenter or susewm or kdebase3-SuSE? I do not know. Does anybody know how to bring the modules back to live? Best with 7.3 packages. Which packages are relevant for that so that I can downgrade to the 7.3 packages and what do I need to change to have the yast2 modules in the control center as in KDE 2.x. Or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks for your help Stefan

KMail: subject replacing
by Christopher Knoerle 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

Hi! In KMail's config there is an option to replace known subject prefixes for answered and forwarded messages. For German users this could be 'AW:' to be replaced with 'Re:'. Would be a nice feature IMHO if it actually worked for me. Did anybody encounter similar problems or does anyone have an idea how to fix this one? TIA -- Chris

Writing accentuated charakters in KMail (etc.)
by Sven Ehret 18 Nov '02

18 Nov '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I posted this problem some weeks ago: Writing accentuated characters like "é" or "â" (hope this gets transported right via eMail) in the standard configuration of SuSE 8.1 is a pain in the bottom: You had to hit [Shift] + [Alt Gr] + ['] + (release [Shift]) + [E] to get "é" instead of using overstrikes just like in Windows, where you just press ['], release it and then press [e]. You know what I mean. The solution to get this easy behaviour is editing the XF86Config: In the section "InputDevice" for keyboard, delete or comment option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys". This has helped for me and I'm very happy to have this resolved. - -- Sven Ehret - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An evil mind is a great comfort.

Cannot lock KDE session
by James Mohr 17 Nov '02

17 Nov '02

Hi All! Occassionally, I click on the panel button to lock my current session and nothing happens. In fact, any method I try to lock the sessions does not work. I can logout completely, but just not lock the session. However, sometimes it works. The only "non-standard" thing I have is VMWare. It **seems** like this only happens when VMWare is running, but since I use VMWare all of the time, it is difficult to say if it really is so. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreaciated.
