I did that and recognized that the link .Xresources -> .Xdefaults was owned by root, also group root. But could that possibly crash the whole system? Funny thing is that it really does not happen as root, but only as a normal user. So if anyone has any other recommendations, I'd be very very happy...

Help needed with Konqueror error
by Antoni Mont 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

Hi all, I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux, and I would appreciate if someone can help me with this trouble: Suddenly Konqueror refuse to handle htlm web sites. When I try to open a web site, a message pops up asking if I want to save on disk or open it with Konqueror (this message never appeared before). If I select "open" an error message arises saying that it seems to be a bad configuration because Konqueror can't handle text/html files. On the other side I have tried as root and it works perfectly. it seems to be something with the configuration of the Konqueror has become corrupted, but only for my usual user name, and not for the root. As for the htlm files stored on disk, I can open they without any difficulty. (?). Thanks, Toni

Embedded Konsole font error
by Joe Sullivan 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hey all, When using Konsole by itself, I have no problems. But when using a "terminal emulator" embedded into Konqueror or Kate, turning the terminal emulator on gives a "Font '13' not found." Where can I change the settings for this embedded terminal? It works after I "OK" the error, but getting that error popup each time is starting to get annoying. Using: SuSE 7.3 Pro, KDE 3.0.1, installed all my TT fonts from Windoze98, etc. Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy, can you spare a click?
by Kevin McLauchlan 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

G'day all. This is another of my curiosity questions. Nothing is broken, I'm just curious... :-) In K-Mail, my Folders view shows something like: Mail | |- Inbox (22) |- outbox (1) |- sent-mail |- trash |- drafts |- Panda | |- inbox (12) | |- Booking_and_procedures (11) | |- Calendar | |- Contacts : : : : several more Outlook server folders : : | +- Public Folders | |_ Tasks (2) |- [SLE] |- FrameUsers |- SuSE-KDE (277) "Panda" is our incoming mail server. If I want my mail, I must click on "Panda" (which does nothing visible...) and then click on the "inbox" under Panda. If I just click "Panda", nothing further happens. If I just click Panda's "inbox", nothing further happens. If I click "Panda" and then I click "inbox", then K-Mail downloads the latest batch from the server. Note that, when I open K-Mail, Panda's folder list is already expanded. I don't need to click view the subfolders. So, why the need to click the server name before clicking the name of the inbox on the server? Just curious. Anybody know? Yeah, I know it's frivolous, but there's been no action in this list for a week. Everybody on vacation? Cheers, /kevin

SuSE8.0: Unable to login after NIS+automounter started
by Neal M. Holtz 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hi, I've had SuSE 8.0 installed for a few hours, not long enough for me to completely mess it up. After I used YaST2 to enable NIS and automounting, I cannot log into any of the NIS user accounts through the graphical console login. The symptom is that the screen goes blank for a second or two, and the login screen comes back, with no diagnostic that I can see. The only thing that is written in /var/log/messages is: Jun 25 15:42:03 girt automount[31478]: attempting to mount entry /users/nholtz Jun 25 15:42:12 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session started for user nholtz, service xdm Jun 25 15:42:13 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session finished for user nholtz, service xdm The automount line looks reasonable (and correct). I can login on the grpahics console to any of the local (non-NIS managed accounts, non automounted accounts). I can also login to the NIS/automounted accounts from a shell using su, or remotely using ssh, so all the nis/automounting mechanism seems to be working OK. Its just the console logins that are a problem. Its probably a PAM setting somewhere, but I've looked quite a bit and couldn't find anything. There are enough differences from my existing installation of about 10 Caldera servers, that I'm lost. Also couldn't find anything in SuSE support DB. I would be grateful for any help.

Kmail starts over and over
by Anders Dahlqvist 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Whenever I enter X, be it in kde3, windowmaker or any other window manager, kmail starts just before the window manager starts, and it is not in my ~/.xinitrc . When I close down kmail, it restarts a minute or so after. It is as though I were running a script " while [ true ]; do kmail &; sleep 60; done" ;=) "grep -r kmail .[a-zA-Z]* " doesn't give me any clues. Clues, anyone? -- "He's just a politician trying to save both his faces ..."

Knotes forgets which notes are open
by Jens Hatlak 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

I'm running SuSE 7.3 and KDE 3.01 on my laptop. Everything is working but for one thing: KDE is configured to save the environment settings when logging out. Still Knotes (the desktop PostIt-style notes program) refuses to show up with those notes that were open when I closed my last KDE session. Knotes starts up and the notes are still under its kicker applet's context menu entry "Notes", but they simply don't show up on screen after logging in. Any ideas? It worked as expected (all open notes on the different virtual desktops, resp.) in KDE 2.2.2 which I deinstalled. :-/ MfG Jens -- Jens Hatlak <http://jens.hatlak.de/> Jugendnetz Frankfurt Adminteam <http://ffm.junetz.de/>

Even with the nVidia drivers (apparently) loaded I don't get any other screen blanks. It sure is strange that nVidia would release defective drivers. The problem probably only exists on a small number of GeForce cards, so they don't consider it to be something worth bothering to fix. Regards Dave

No mouse pointer for post-installation
by Fred Schiff 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

This is probably an install/XFree question, but here goes. I have successfully installed Suse Linux on my machine, and sorta made it a dual boot machine (I think I need to look up how LILO is supposed to operate since I can't figure out how you tell it to boot a different operating system), but in KDE I don't have a mouse pointer, so its hard to choose anything or get rid of the clutter. How do I configure that, in console mode, possibly? I have to finish the post-installation things. Fred Schiff (fschiff(a)mindspring.com)

KDE3 Sound Problem
by Salman Khilji 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

I am using SuSE 8.0 Professinal with KDE 3.0. Updated my system using YOU a few days ago. I installed mplayer from sources and found that the system would refuse to play the movies with sound. I had to fix it by disabling aRTS in the control panel. Now that aRTS is disabled (by disabling the sound server) mplayer is happy but xmms is mad now. XMMS displays an error message that says Please check that: 1. You have the correct output plugin selected. 2. No other programs is blokcing the soundcard 3. Your soundcar is configure properly Question: How do I make mplayer and xmms happy at the same time?

Fw: Intel Board d850gb (chipset ADI 1885) on SuSE 7.3
by Juan Francisco Torres Chacón 18 Jun '02

18 Jun '02

Ok, this is the story: The standard configuration using YAST2 in SuSE7.3 (just after installation) didn't detected the sound card (or chipset in this case) Finally, I used "alsaconf" in text mode, and it was detected as "Intel 82820 820 Camino2 AC97" I used "gamix" in Xwindows to "unmute" the sound. Sound is playing, BUT 1- Everything is "quicker" than it should. Every sound or song is played a little quicker than normal..... 2- I get the following messages: - xconsole: Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: snd_intel8x0_chip_init: invalid AC'97 codec Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy Jun 14 09:36:34 winlinux insmod: insmod: a module named snd-mixer-oss already exists Jun 14 09:36:34 winlinux insmod: insmod: insmod sound-service-0-3 failed - /var/log/boot.msg (messages when the machine boots) /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S21alsasound start Starting sound driver: intel8x0/lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.10-4GB/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-card-intel8x0 failed failed <notice>'/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S21alsasound start' exits with status 1 - /var/log/messages Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:1f.5 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.3 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 00:1f.5 to 64 Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: snd_intel8x0_chip_init: invalid AC'97 codec Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: snd: Intel ICH soundcard not found or device busy Jun 14 09:34:31 winlinux kernel: Switching off penguin.

Hello. I am having difficulty connecting to the net. When I attempt to run kinternet I get an error message logged as: cannot find /dev/isdnctrl or /dev/isdnctrl is not configured. I have rechecked the configuration of my isdn card and tested it. The test informs me that it was successful. I can connect if I reload Mandrake 7.0 which is what I have done to send this. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you. Michael McGibben.

Compromised?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . For the past several days I've gotten a finger on my ssl port, once a day. Each time I answered it with an nmap, and each time it was from a different country: China, Taiwan, Australia, and each time the machine was a Suse with kernel 2.1. =Yesterday= when I answered with nmap, he immediately responded with about 15 more fingers on the SSL port before I hung up. I reconnected, and quiet after that.
