KDE 3.1 KMail and trash folders
by Peter Nunn 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I have just upgraded to 3.1 and have discovered that only one of my imap folders puts the messages deleted from it into the trash (the others just vanish). Try as I might, I can't find anything that allows me to change this behaviour. Any ideas where it is? Thanks. Peter.

KMail - what year is it?
by Kevin McLauchlan 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I've got SuSE 8.0, KDE 3.0.5 and KMail 1.4.3. I've been noticing the occasional e-mail that arrives with a date of 1969-12-31 and similar. I had been assuming that it was just the sender's e-mail app, or their outgoing mail server being misconfigured. However, I just got a message from my boss with the 1969 date. If I had left my inbox sorting in 'by Date' mode, I would never have seen that message. The boss is using Microsoft Outlook, but that in itself is not usually a problem. Also, she is writing from the same network, and through the same company mail server that I'm using. Ignoring messages from one's manager is not considered a career-enhancing move... :-) I just checked the rest of my inbox and have found *no* other messages from my boss or from anybody else in our company (all Outlook) with the problem, but I *do* see several automatic advertising messages (used to support the no-fee status of one of the other mailing lists to which I'm subscribed). That one has had 1969 addresses all this month. The associated mailing list, however does not have any date problem. I'm quite certain that my boss did not send her message in 1969. What's going on? /kevin

Try to download and install artwork again. You might also rename your .kde directory and let kde3.1 build a fresh one from scratch. This fixed a number of issues that I experienced. The downside is that you lose all of your personalized settings. -Allen ---------------------------- Aseelye(a)blackfoot.net ICQ# 8286205 http://www.geocities.com/alleninmt - Problems?

Where or how does SuSE KDE set certain permissions correctly ?
by malte_gell＠t-online.de 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hi there, if you use KDE from SuSE it correctly sets certain permissions like /dev/dsp if you logon. Now I installed KDE 3.1 on my own, if I logon as user "test" the permissions for /dev/dsp still belong to "malte_gell". If I use SuSE's KDE it always sets the permissions correctly for the user who logs on. Which way does SuSE use to set those permissions ? I'd like to use this for my self compile KDE 3.1. Thanx Malte

problems with kdm after update to kde 3.1 on suse linux 8.0
by Steffen Petter 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

hello, first of all, complements to all working on kde, KDE 3.1 is a great release. good work. But something goes wrong in kdm. After I pressed the logout button in KDE, two large black bars on screen overlaps the logout dialog partially . Only the "ok" and "cancel" buttons are visible in dialog, the rest is black. This error messages appears after starting kdm: Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'EnableChooser' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:67 Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:68 Jan 31 14:26:17 stp kdm_config[954]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:69 The keys are also in the previous kdmrc configuration file (now kdmrc.SuSEconfig). What is going wrong? Wehre can I get detailed information about detailed setup of kdm and xdm? Thanks for your help, Steffen. (PS: Sorry for my bad english)

How to install the KDE 3.1 ?
by svensmail＠telia.com 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Hallo Do any one have any advice on installing the KDE rpm's ? Previously I have only installed single stand alone packages not interfering with earlier installations. (running suse 8.0) Now, there is no "meta-rpm" ? If it was it would be a YOU facility - right ? So how do one proceed with the rpms supplied by suse ? Do I install one after the another starting from the bottom (earliest first) with the KDE "basispaketen" and then onwards in the same manner with the "KDE Applikationen" ? Is the order of any importance ? Is there any need to halt in the process and make some diagnostics or is it supposed to work anyway ? Will it work to install the rpm's while the KDE 3.0.5 is up an running ? Seems like a risky business though. Any way back (besides the backups) ? Will it be possible to get back by reinstalling the packages supplied on the suse8.0 installation cd's ? In that case, should I remove the installed rpm's (rpm -e) before returning to the safe harbour of the suse installation cd's ? I have searched the kde.org but not found any reassuring documentation to help me. Any suselogicians out there ? I would apreciate any advice on these matters. Thank's

I'm running 7.3 and it has worked well for me. I noticed, from kde3.0 on, that trying to install kde manually using rpm -Uvh... would always come back with dependancy errors if I didn't install them in the correct order. I found it easier to just fire up YaST(1), point it to the folder where my rpms are stored, select everything in the folder and let YaST install them. If it needs another package it goes through the list to see if it's there before spitting out an error message. If the required package is there then it installs it and goes back to where it left off. This also runs SuSEconfig for you when it's done installing. If you do this make sure to read over the log file before closing YaST to make sure that everything installed correctly. I've never had any problems with it but it never hurts to be thorough. Hope that helps. -Allen ---------------------------- Aseelye(a)blackfoot.net ICQ# 8286205 http://www.geocities.com/alleninmt - Problems? There are no problems.

re: [suse-kde] kmail 2 questions.

From: David Herman <ob1(a)yifan.net> Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 13:16:50 -0800 Message-Id: <200301301316.50586.ob1(a)yifan.net> Subject: [suse-kde] kmail 2 questions. Currently using kmail1.5, SuSE8.1, kde3.1 Is there a place to set how often kmail compacts its folders? I didn't see one under the settings--configure kmail. I know that it compacts folders when you exit the program but I rarely do that. Kmail will automatically enter the address of a maiingl list when I reply to it (the folder properties shows "folder holds mailing list", Is there some way to get it to do the same if I start a new message (like this one) while I'm in the appropriate folder? I seem to remember it doing this in version 1.3 Sorry i had to take this from the archives. I pressed delete too quickly, and it bypassed the trash. You can turn off compacting, and do it manually by right clicking on the folder you want to compact. I couldn't find any time information for compaction. For the new message addressed to the mailing list, if the folder with the mailing ist is highlighted go to message > and there's a choice for send to or address to mailing list. This came up in that help hints window that pops up when you open the program, I'm glad I haven't turned it off. -- Franklin Maurer nebbish(a)sprynet.com SuSE 8.1
