Shutdown dragon gone - SOLVED
by Carl 21 May '02

21 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Some of us got strange behaviour in K after we set file security to Secure. For example I lost the dragon shutdown dialog, could no longer right-click|edit in Konq, and KMail would no longer fortune. I noticed Michael Kollender's recent message to this list (below), and applied his changes even though I am running K3 on Suse8. Got the dragon back. I know, pitiful... big whup. But maybe this also fixed other more subtle problems. Still can't right-click|edit in Konqsu. It was suggested to xhost +localhost , but it's a security problem. It was also suggested: # xauth merge /home/username/.Xauthority # export DISPLAY=:0.0 on boot, but this doesn't work. And I cannot grasp the intricacies of what this does, much less what the problem is, so cannot troubleshoot. KMail doesn't fortune, and starting it from konsole yields NO messages. It doesn't seem to have a logfile. ? Can anyone advise? (What happened to the K traffic? Is everyone on -en?) ======================================== Michael Kollender schreib: Applies to SuSE 7.3 To fix it: a.. mkdir /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess b.. edit the files in /etc/SuSEconfig and change: qt2 ? qt3 and kde2 ? kde3 c.. edit /etc/init.d/xdm, change: kde2 ? kde3 d..

Dear List, KMail on SuSE 8.0 is eating my email! When I open KMail, it displays a line per email that is in my in-box; the line lists "Subject" "Sender" etc. But when I click on a line it changes to "No Subject" and the content window below is empty!! I don't want to loose valuable emails; what can I do? Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there another more reliable email client? PeterB

Arts package update broken
by Ron Cordell 20 May '02

20 May '02

The latest updates for KDE on the supplemental/7.1/ directory for the arts sound package completely break sound on my 7.1 system. No error messages, I can start and stop the sound server OK, but no sounds of any kind. I have made certain that the mixer has the volumes turned up. -- 11:28am up 1:13, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.03, 0.01

How to install KDE3 under 7.3 Prof. ?
by Sandra Dismar 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hi there, I'm a newbie in Linux (and I'm so sorry, for my stupid questions) Has someone experience with KDE3 under SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional? I just downloaded the KDE3-Files from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_7.3/ and tried to install it (by using run-level 3) with command: rpm -Uvh applications/*.rpm base/*.rpm development/*.rpm internationalization/*.rpm After that I got a lot of "error: failed dependencies" and after that a list with errors like for example: "kdebase is needed by kdebase-SuSE-0.0.1-31". How can I make it work??? Thanks a lot to the guys who will help me, if they will do. Bye, Sandra

KMail Won't Recognize Account Info
by doc 20 May '02

20 May '02

Even though I did add the account information as instructed in KMail it keeps popping up a window asking for that info. When setting up my 3Com 3C905 card to interface with ADSL I chose DHCP, including setting up the host name and name server via DHCP. Am I OK there? (seems to work OK for Web browsing w/Konqueror) Suggestions, please? Thanks! doc
