Where to order SuSE 8.0?
by Matt Sheffield 12 May '02

12 May '02

This isn't exactly KDE related but it sort of is. I don't have a broadband connection yet, so I can't feasibly download 8.0 Could someone provide me a link to a Web site which has the download edition's CDs (i.e. no tech support or commercial apps) ready for shipping at a low price? I usually go to linuxcentral.com because they've got low prices. However, they don't seem to have it. Can anyone else direct me to another Web site? TIA

Icons won't install
by Curtis Rey 12 May '02

12 May '02

Ok, I go to kdelook and dl a set of icons. In this case the osXIcons.tar.gz. So, this should be simple (or so I thought). KDE-menu=>look & feel=>icons. Click on the little browse button, select the file/package, in this case home/<user>/Downloads/klook/osXIcons.tar.gz. it shows in the path bar, click install. and ........ NOTHING. Checked the permissions, and chmod to rwx just in case. Still NOTHING. Same with the themes. <theme-whatever>.tar.gz or in the case of mosfet-liquid0.9.4.tar.gz was ungziped as per the install notes to mosfet-liquid0.9.4.tar. And, yes you guessed it, NOTHING. Arrrrgggghhhh..... Any hints as to whether I'm just being brain dead or theres a problem with users and installing themes (like the default settings in my new 8.0 are so locked down that I have to go throught and config all my users parameters)or something new to kde3? TIA, Curtis

Updating kde3
by Anders Johansson 11 May '02

11 May '02

Hi, I'm trying to update from the supplementary packages for 8.0, specifically I'm trying to update kdevelop3. This rpm requires docbkdsl, docbkxsl and docbk30. I can't find these, or indeed any rpms with "docbk" in their names. Does anyone know what rpms satisfy these dependencies? Also, libogg and libvorbis are rc2 in the supplementaries but rc3 on the 8.0 cds. Any clue as to why? //Anders

Icon positions jumbled in KDE3
by Glenn Holmer 11 May '02

11 May '02

Maybe similar to my previous post, as normal user, desktop icons are frequently moved to random positions on login (in the same general area, but scrambled). And does anybody know how to specify the length of an icon text before it wraps? or disable/enable icon text wrapping? -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer(a)ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================

Konqueror user agent
by Paul W. Abrahams 11 May '02

11 May '02

In version 2.2.2 of Konqueror at least, there's a facility for specifying a "user agent" in the configuration that enables Konqueror to identify itself as some other prowser (IE 5.5 is usually a good choice). It's necessary for accessing web sites that check for browser identity. Trouble is, it seems that it's necessary to specify the user agent individually for each website where it matters. There's no way I can find to say that Konqueror should by default identify itself as, say, IE5.5. Is there some way of doing that that I've missed? Is the behavior in version 3 any better?

I don't know where you guys are digging this stuff up at but here's my response the last time someone posted this: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2002-Mar/0390.html -- -ckm

kdelibs Optimizations
by Anthony W. Marino 09 May '02

09 May '02

With the latest KDE3.0x rpms from SuSE, are kdelibs compiled with optimizations? This was a question that was asked of me from Marc Mutz (kde.org) in reply to a performance issue that I have. Thanks, Anthony
