hi, any hints? kooka (from kdegraphics3-scan-3.1.4-18, included in suse 9.0) does not scan. xsane and xscanimage do. scanner's the same epson perfection 610 that used to work fine with linux for several years now. error messages: none, when i press the preview button or the scan button in kooka just nothing happens. any hints or ideas?

Ripping albums and command line MP3 tag converter
by James Mohr 29 Nov '03

29 Nov '03

Hi All! I in the process of ripping all of my albums, but the tool I have has two major flaws. First, it's Windows. Second, it only store ID3v1 tags. The nice thing is that it has a very, very confortable GUI. I press "record" and it records the album. Then I click on the pauses between songs and it splits the album into the appropriate tracks. There is an "auto clean" mode which takes out all of the hissing and clicking automatically, which works wonders with my old albums. I then have to input the artist and track title by hand, but cut-n-paste from freedb.org makes it really easy. Then I covert the wav files to mp3 and I am done! Again, only with the ID3v1 tags. So, the first question is whether there is a comfortable GUI to do the same thing in Linux. The tools I have found so far have all been command line and take about as long to process the album as it does to rip it. The second question is if there is a command line tool to conver ID3V1 tags to ID3V2 tags. I found one that claims to do it (simply called id3v2). However, it's source only and none of the versions I have downloaded contain the configure script that it says to execute first. Arrgh! Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

unable to umount removable media under kde
by sebastien 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Hi, I am unable to unmount cd, dvd or usb hd if I mount them by clicking on the corresponding icon under kde. I absolutely need to close ALL konqueror windows (even those I used for navigating the web) and kill the konqui instance loaded at kde startup, to be able to unmount devices by right clicking->unmount. Otherwise I get the following message : "device is busy". I use suse 9.0 and I had this problem with 8.2 too. I looked on bugs-kde.org and I found that this bug appeared since kde 3.0.x and is be fixed for I long time ago. Why does it still appeared with kde 3.1.x ? Is it a suse package bug ?? thanks. ********** L'ADSL A 20 EUR/MOIS********** Avec Tiscali, l'ADSL est à 20 EUR/mois. Vous pourrez chercher longtemps avant de trouver moins cher !

Can't embed KMplayer anymore ...
by Bernd Laser 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

Hi KDE Folk(s), I'm using SuSE 9.0 and was somewhat disappointed to miss kmplayer and MPlayer in that release. So I went and fetched MPlayer from Packmann (www.links2linux.de) and kmplayer from source. And I found kmplayer embedding well in Konq for quicktime trailers from apple.com for instance. Meanwhile I checked out KDE 3.2 beta from RPMS, found it not mature enough, dissed it and "refreshed" my old KDE 3.1.4. And no embedding of kmplayer anymore. I'm even unable to select "Embedded MPlayer for KDE" in the file types dialogue of Konq for embedding since it's just not listed (unlike before). Of course, I have reinstalled kmplayer from source after refreshing, and checked for the *.desktop file in /opt/kde/ share/services/... (I don't know the exact path now, but it's where all the other kparts are). What could I be missing ? Thanks for any clues, kind regards, Bernd.

what will happen to KDE on Suse...

...now that Novell has purchased Suse? Eweek predicts Novell will switch to Gnome from KDE, since Ximian is written in Gnome. This concerns me, since I like KDE better. Any thoughts/info on this?

kmail and forwarded emails as attachement
by Daniel Eckl 25 Nov '03

25 Nov '03

Hi list! Can anybody give me a hint? I can forward emails as attachement quite perfect. It's smooth and elegant: Mark all messages to be forwarded and select "Forward -> As attachement". But if I recieve such forwarded emails I cannot really unpack them and store them as single mails. I only can view them, but I need them as single mails to sort them into folders. Only way is to save all attached mails in a own directory and then import them again into kmail. Thats really annoying... Is there no better way to do this? Greets, Daniel

Hello, after updating my kmail client on my SuSE 8.2 system to version 1.5.4 via suses kde packages from their server, I can't use the s/mime cryptplug. So when i get a signed e-mail, the message "Nicht genügend Informationen zur Überprüfung der Signatur vorhanden: [Details] Status:Es ist ein Systemfehler aufgetreten." appears. Sorry, its a german system. So I try to translate it "Not enough information available to validate the signature" "Status: A system error has occured" Also it´s not possible to sign or decrypt messages via smime. Is there anybody who knows what to do? Unfotunately I can´t find any information in suses support db.
