SuSE extensions for kde3
by David Monk 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

I attempted to make the move to KDE3 before the official SuSE rpm's using the KDE ones. In my attempt to remove the KDE ones and reinstall using the SuSE rpm's I have lost kdebase-suse. When attempting to reinstall that original rpm, it tells me kdebase is required, from kde2. Is there any point in further trying to restore this functionality? Does the normal upgrade from SuSE kde2 to SuSE kde3 retain the extensions and desktop look/feel? I really liked the SuSE style, look and menu layout. --- David Monk CCNA, MCSE david(a)purplebear.net The more things change, the more they stay insane.

minimised programs.
by josef 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

I am running Suse 8.0 and after i upgraded kde using yast, all the programs that i minimise while using kde3, do not appear on the generic taskbar. I have to add a extension -> Kasbar to see the minimised applications which is not convenient for me. How can I set kde to make the minimised programms appear on the generic kde taskbar? Regards, Josef

KMail - message list window ....
by Corneliu MUSAT 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Hi, I just downloaded&installed the new KDE 3.0 and i have a question about KMail ! I used KMail in previous versions of KDE but this one have a new feature. Every second message in the message list is highlighted with a light colored bar ("highlight-bar"). I use my own color schema with KMail and I like to have a dark (black) background and a lightgray text. My question is: Is there any way to configure the color of this "highlight-bar" so I can use my prefered color schema without having troubles reading every second mail headers in the messagelist ? Let's say ... I would like a darkgray "highlight-bar". 10X -- Cornel. tel.:4092743604

KDE 3.0.5
by Anders Johansson 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

I just installed KDE from CVS. Things to look forward to include a copy of winXP's remote administration feature. KDE now has a built-in vnc server that will let you "invite" other people to grab the display you're looking at, mouse and all. *deep sigh* Anders

Re: [suse-kde] noatun crasches after KDE3 update on 7.2, fixed only on 8.0?
by Lennart Börjeson 23 Apr '02

Good ideas, I'll try both. But where did you find 2.4.18 for 7.2? On ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/kernel the latest is 2.4.16, updated 2002-04-16. /Lennart -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Patrick [mailto:tracerb@sprintmail.com] Skickat: den 19 april 2002 16:54 Till: suse-kde(a)suse.com Ämne: Re: [suse-kde] noatun crasches after KDE3 update on 7.2, fixed only on 8.0?

At least that is what it sounds like, because this lib is part of the new alsa package. Something I didn't think about until hitting send button would be to maybe make a symlink to your old libasound.so.1 library to get it working. Don't know if it needs anything else specific, but it is easy enough to try the link.

Desktop Trash Icon
by Dave Barton 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

I have a trivial, but irritating little problem. Somehow, I have screwed up the trash icon, so that it no longer indicates whether or not there is anything in the trash (ie. the lid is always on the can, even when there are files in the trash). Can someone tell me how to return the trash icon to it's normal display mode? TIA Dave

configuring korn
by René Matthäi 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

Hi, has anybody of you already configured korn (esp. for WEB.DE or other freemail providers with IMAP access)? What else do I have to enter except for user name and password? Or what are you using instead of korn (kmail doesn't work - as for this - either) Ré

KDE3 not starting from KDM login
by Ron Cordell 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

I had KDE3 working after an update about a week ago on my SuSE 7.1 box. I had updated to KDE3 from the SuSE ftp site, and then made some changes to the configuration files as documented by someone on the main SuSE english list. I noticed that there were some new updates, including a new QT3 package, so I installed those. When I did, it seemed to break the starting of KDE3 from the KDM login manager. Instead all I get is an xterm. If I type KDE3 in the xterm, KDE3 starts. This is true for any Window Manager I select in the KDM logon screen. Can someone tell me where I can repair these window manager links? Thanks, -ronc -- 4:29pm up 13 min, 1 user, load average: 0.21, 0.34, 0.21

Konqueror / KVim Crashes
by Anthony W. Marino 22 Apr '02

22 Apr '02

(SuSE 7.3; KDE 3.0.0) First of all why does Konq open up KVim embedded for text file viewing since I don't see that file association in settings? It doesn't present me with the text however just an embedded black square of nothing. When I attempt to go back to the previous page viewed Konq will then crash. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks, Anthony
