Now for that kdm oddity (kde3.1)
by David Herman 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

My pleasure w/ 3.1 is growing, most of the kinks have evaporated. A few reboots seems to have done wonders. My biggest remaining quirk is w/ kdm. I have a couple of users that are not (and were not previously) shown on the login screen. I decided to activate them to make logging in easier, but no matter what I do my changes are not accepted. I've been trying to use kcontrolcenter to make my changes (I'm a really slow typist / gui guy) but I guess I'm going to have to resort to manually editing. Can someone direct me to the correct fileto edit? Better yet has anyone else had this problem and found a fix? -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

kmail 2 questions.
by David Herman 30 Jan '03

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 -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Of course, if you made a rpm using > checkinstall with your compile that would make things easier too. ;o) Of course you have to compile the 1.12 beta (http://krusader.sourceforge.net/dev/krusader-1.12-beta1.tar.gz) because only that version copies the files into the mentioned directory "/usr/local/kde/share/apps/krusader" after the "make install"....don't ask me why... The files should be: -a dir called icons and its contents -about.png -konfig_small.jpg -krusaderui.rc And btw: If you remove your rpm-installation of krusader, you shouldn't have a directory /opt/kde3/share/apps/krusader.... But if I find a little time I will probably make a rpm....:-) Daniel.

KDE3.1 rocks, but...
by PL O'Smith 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hey all, Well, as many have done here already, I took the plunge last evening and converted over to 3.1 as well. Why did I hesitate so long, was the first question that came to mind. :o) It is very pretty and functional. Everything is so much faster and smoother operating. My hat goes off to the many KDE programmers and beta testers, but I am curious about two things so far. Why won't Krusader work and Konq file manager as root work? I don't know about others here, but those are two of my most used programs and having them not work is bad. Last evening I tried a couple of things to test though and maybe someone has already figured out an answer. Logged in as user, Konq just comes up and disappears, while Krusader just does a Sig11. Logged in as root, Konq works ok for me, but Krusader still gives a Sig11. I was able to start Konq from the menu, icon & shell logged in as root, so one would first think it's a matter of permissions? Krusader is just broke, so that will take a fix to repair it, I'm guessing or would it be possible to compile it and have a working program? Thanks for any hints. Are others experiencing the same anomalies with these two programs? Seems I remember reading someone's mail complaining of these also. Overall though, KDE 3.1 gets very high marks!

Roughly how long might SuSE be expected to take to create, test, and make available the SuSE flavo[u]r rpms? Days? Weeks? SuSE 9.0? :-) Also, would it naturally appear as an offering the next time I ran YOU? Or would I have to go looking for it? What's the philosophy on this sort of thing. KDE 3.1 is a point release, so does SuSE consider that just another update that would appear among all the other updates, patches, etc., for YaST and various apps? Or is KDE 3.1 such a significant change that you'd have to ask for it explicitly? /kevin

Help: DIA messed up my KDE!
by Juan Jesús 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hi list, I've been using Suse Linux 8.1 pro with the bundled KDE Desktop for a month now without much problems. Today, I have installed one of the packages that comes in the distro, DIA, and to my surprise, when I ran it the first time, my desktop changed to what seems to be a mix between KDE and GNOME! I have the KDE Panel with all its options and icons, but the icons of the desktop have dissappeared in favour of the 3 initial GNOME icons, and also the custom back desktop images i had set up are gone. Now, when I click the right mouse button, I get the GNOME contextual menu!!! All this happens when I select KDE in the initial SUSE login window. Help! What happened here? How can I restore my previous full KDE environment! Thanks in advance for your support.
