Does 3.0.3 Break KPPP?
by Dave Barton 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Yesterday I upgraded 3.0.1 to 3.0.3 and today KPPP fails. On first dial-up attempt connection is made, then immediately disconnects. The status bar of Login Script Debug Window shows: "Starting pppd..." and then KPPP just stops with no further activity. Subsequent dial-up attempts are the same, except that an error dialog is displayed: "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly! Exit status: 2 See 'man pppd' for an explanation of the error codes or take a look at the kppp FAQ on http://devel-home.kde.org/~kppp/index.html" man ppd states that: "Exit Status 2 = An error was detected in processing the options given, such as two mutually exclusive options being used." The referenced url provides no useful additional information. /var/log/warn has several entries like: "pppd[2218]: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp: No such file or directory" This is true, but making changes to KPPP setup does not create this file and I can't find any info about what this file should contain. Since I had not previously made any changes to my KPPP settings and I get the same failure when trying to connect with any one of 4 separate ISPs, I must assume that something in this upgrade caused the problem. I can get on-line without any difficulty using KInternet, but I would prefer to use KPPP. Can anyone suggest a possible solution to this problem? TIA Dave

KDE Update 3.0.3 - 3.1 beta 1
by Markus Miche 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Hello, I have got a lot of probs upgrading my KDE 3.0.3 to KDE 3.1 beta 1. I currently use Linux SuSE 8.0 and I tried to update my KDE with these rpm packages -- ftp://download.uk.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kde-3.1-beta1/SuSE/i386/8.0/ --. There is often a failure concerning the qt3. Isn't there anywhere an installation guide that shows the right order of these 24 rpm files??? Maybe this question seems to be a bit stupid, but I'm a real Newbie... Thanks and Greets Markus

kaddressbook
by Patrick 11 Sep '02

11 Sep '02

Ok gurus, explain, After much time put into trying to figure out why my addresses did not follow all my other info when importing my KDE2 address book file into the new one, I now find I have another curious bug? Whenever I display my kaddressbook natively or from KMail, all of my fields are jumbled together to the left. I can move them so I can see everything again and close the window, thinking the positions will be saved. I check my config file to be certain it did and everything looks good there also, yet when I reopen or restart kaddressbook, the fields are again jumbled together to the left. Can someone explain why this is happening or explain how to fix it? I have gone thru the usual attempts of deleting config files or the kabc folder in my personal apps directory, yet it always seems to come back to the same problem. Thoughts, ideas? Thanks, Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206

KMail 1.4: Couldn't save Address Book
by Sven Ehret 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, I tried to add a person to my KMail 1.4 Address Book, but when closing the window, I experience the error "Couldn't save Address Book" (Konnte Adreßbuch nicht speichern). The new entry was not saved. I'm just helpless with that! I deinstalled kdenetwork3 and reinstalled it after that, but to, surprise, no effect. This is on my SuSE 8 machine with KDE 3.0 installed. I still haven't managed to update to KDE 3.0.3 (or 3.1? Is it usable?). Could this help? Updating?

external taskbar
by mark king 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

I prefer to have any tasks easily visible at the top of the screen,as kde2 used to do automatically. Now I have to do quite a bit to work to remove the nested tasks from kicker. The problem is that on re booting the computer the external task bar sometimes is not re installed, it may miss each 8 or 9 reboots .I don't think this should happen because when I re install the external taskbar the tasks which were remaining from the last session are still there.Only the bar is missing. Can anyone suggest a fix? mark -- marking(a)paradise.net.nz Attachments destroyed automatically without viewing except by prior arrangement

AW: [suse-kde] Anyone compiled QT 3.05 for 7.3 yet?
by Monaghan, John 09 Sep '02

09 Sep '02

What is the problem with make etc? Now I never use RPMs as they are such a pain and find I have so much more control with make. An example is exactly what you are talking about - someone else deciding what I need or don't need. I don't blame SuSE for this, it is hard trying to please everyone and creating a foolproof method of installation (Before anyone writes in saying how much easier it is in windows - check your facts. One of my jobs is to write installers for the windows platform and I hate it).

Sheffield [mailto:mattsheffield@yahoo.com] Gesendet: Samstag, 7. September 2002 00:07 An: suse-kde(a)suse.com Betreff: [suse-kde] Anyone compiled QT 3.05 for 7.3 yet? Hi all, Those of us using < 8.0 have been frustrated with SuSE's foolish policy decision to disable anti-aliasing in KDE 3.02+. Annoyed, I tried to compile QT from the SRPM but keep getting error messages. Has anyone compiled QT and is knowledgeable enough to package in RPM. I'd much rather do this than have to mess around w/make, etc. If not, I'll try to compile it and post one for everyone. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

K 3.1 Look n Feel
by Carl 09 Sep '02

09 Sep '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . I have never installed nor used Windows XP, but am I wrong? Does K3.1 have the stench of WinXP Look & Feel? Is this the Keramic style they're talking about? It's probably a good marketing move, but I hope the user interface isn't big, dumb, and patronizing, like XP. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj171vcACgkQnQ18+PFcZJtnBQCfToekF0IscwQGuBf2Z75Mmf14 PFQAn1lzsX5nx1pvsdFsrtIjJ2XlKywB =9EqS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
