Strange Mozilla Freeze
by Andrei Verovski 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Hi, I have upgraded SuSE 8.2 to 9.0 and encountered strange problem with Mozilla (1.4 and 1.5, both SuSE built). Whenever I am trying to type text in URL input box or form field, Mozilla simply freezes. Clicking URL from bookmark is OK. The same happens with other Gecko-based browsers: Firebird and Epiphany. However, Opera and Konqueror are not affected, as well as ALL other Gtk/Java based programs. I have reinstalled all Gnome/Gtk libs, Mozilla, wiped our prefs, run reiserfsck, nothing helped. Anyone have an idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

fonts in the kde console
by Bessert, Dr. Nicolas 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

Sorry for having again such a stupid problem: I have to identical machines, with the same SuSe 8.2 installation (they only differ in the xemacs and latex packages). I have different fonts for the kde console. Because my home is the same on both machines the user configuration should not be the reason for that. So which system configuration data must be the same, so that I have the same fonts available under KDE on both machines? thanks Nicolas _______________________________ Dr. -Ing.

Problems with Java in Konqueror
by Mike Béla 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

HI! I ask again my question raised a few days ago. I'm using SuSE 9.0 Professional Edition, KDE 3.1.4 and java2-jre 1.4.2. MOZILLA (v1.4) and OPERA (v7.21) can play perfectly Java Applets, but the KONQUEROR Web Browser cannot open them in spite of the fact that I had configured the proper reaching path. Can anyone send me a suggestion? Best Regards, -Bela-

german text: file permission security leak in SuSE 8.2 by default
by Puschmann, Paul 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hi, sorry for the german text... The original text is from http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/ju-18.11.03-002/ ========== KDE-Konfiguration manipulierbar Einem Bericht auf der Mailingliste Bugtraq zufolge sind bei manchen Linux-Distributionen globale KDE-Konfigurationsdateien mit falschen Zugriffsrechten versehen. Insbesondere die Datei kdeglobals ist bei SuSE 8.2 für jeden lokalen Benutzer beschreibbar. Damit kann ein Angreifer anderen KDE-Nutzern des Systems Konfigurationseinstellungen unterschieben und unter Umständen durch Autostart-Mechanismen sogar Programme mit dessen Rechten ausführen lassen. Anzeige heise Security konnte das Problem bisher nur auf einem SuSE-8.2-System verifizieren. Dort waren die Dateien /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kmailrc /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kioslaverc /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals.SuSEconfig /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals für jederman beschreibbar. Globale Konfigurationsdateien mit Schreibrechten für alle Nutzer spürt das Kommando find /etc -type f -perm +2 auf. Bisher ist uns kein Hersteller-Patch bekannt. Das Problem lässt sich jedoch durch den Befehl chmod og-w /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals für alle betroffenen Dateien einfach beheben. ============ The files /etc/opt/... (as shown above) are write-able for everyone! On this way, the Autostart-entries and other things can be manipulated. To find other files with this lack use : find /etc -type f -perm +2 And to remove this security leak: chmod og-w /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals kind regards, Paul

associating an application to an extension?
by Jaan Kold 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Hi guys -- I was wondering if anyone has a tip on how I can link a known file extension to an application beforehand? BACKGROUND: I noticed that the MIME types and file extensions to Open Office were missing (plus the icons for OOo look like crap but thats beside the point) Now its a pain in the buttt o have to do this manually for many machines so Im trying to do this my dropping in "fixes" Step One: * Registering the MIME types, icon and file extensions Was the easy part, just drop in correct "xx.desktop" files in /opt/kde3/ share/mimelnk/application/ Step Two: * This is my problem: how do I link Open Office so it lauches automatically on these pre-made MIMEs/filextension files? Manully linking by having KDE ask me what app to launch (and from now on rememeber) is not what I'm looking for. Rather a way to pre-register known xxx file extension <--> to execute: usr/ X11R6/bin/OOo Any ideas? jk -- Suse Linux 9.0 | 2.4.21-121-smp4G | KDE 3.1.4 | XFree86 v4.3.0.1

KDE Menu Editor doesn't work in SuSE 9.0
by Thomas Lutze 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi, can anyone tell me how do add or remove applications, icons and groups in the KDE Menu? As SuSE Support told me, the KDE Menu Editor doesnt work any more in SuSE 9.0, which I just installed on my Notebook. Unfortunately they didnt give me any further information because my question is not related to the installation support I have purchased along with the distribution. As a Linux-newbie I get a bit lost in the directories and configuration files (and also in the archive of this list), so please forgive me if this may be a stupid or an already answered question.

Multiple KDEs on version 8.2 and 9.0
by steve-kde＠sblack.org 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

I just installed version 9.0 pro on my home box and have 8.2 pro on a machine at work. When I installed both, I opted for full KDE. On version 8.2 you get 3.1.1 and on V.9 you get 3.1.4. I want to play around with the CVS versions without upsetting the system. I followed advice on the KDE site at http://developer.kde.org/build/build2ver.html This tells you how to go about building a second version. I created an additional user and have even compiled a version within that user. However, I am struggling to get it operational. There is a hint within the above page about not using '/etc/ld.so.conf for KDE or Qt as this is a system wide configuration file'. Also there is advice about setting QTDIR and some other variables. The problem is that the Startkde script contains unset commands to unset these variables. Has anyone got a dual KDE system working? If so, help would be greatly appreciated.

Kmail sound.

Sirs, Having used 'Outlook' in the past, I would like to know if it is possible to play a brief sound on the opening of an e-mail in Kmail, Mutt, or Mozilla. It takes a very small file, but differentiates from other e-mails. On the downside I believe this is only possible in 'html' mode. Thank you in advance for your interest. Malcolm Candlish.

Compiling KDE stuff: configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0)
by Tim Ruehsen 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hi, I am using SuSE 8.1. After upgrading to SuSEs QT 3.2.1 I have problems to compile K packages from source RPMs. e.g. rpm --rebuild --target i686-suse-linux kdenetwork3-3.1.4-42.src.rpm stops with checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1.0) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support! Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.75047 (%build) Of course there are mt libraries in /usr/lib/qt3/lib. I have all available qt3 rpms installed. I already installed the source rpm, unpacked the sources and tried to aclocal, automake, autoconf, configure (playing with different options) by hand. But the result stays the same. Did anybody solve the problem? I already searched google and encountered many similar problems - but none of the given solutions helped me out. Thanks, Tim

PrintScreen
by Jon Schwartz 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I'm looking for a good print screen program. I've tried Ksnapshot and it works but printout is very slow. Ideally, what would happen is to hit the Prtscreen key and have the current window or the window where the mouse is over print out quickly. Anybody know of such an application? I heard Gimp can do printscreens too but can it be configured to do what I want from above? Simple print screen, quick, and nothing fancy? Thanks, Jon

Remote KDE login SuSE 9.0
by J. W. Andersen, Falster System Teknik 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

For every SuSE distribution since 6.4 I have been using X-win Pro from a windoze workstation to access the grahical desktop (KDE) on the various SuSE servers, I have running. Up to version 8.2 without any problems whatsoever. In V9.0 the local server console works OK, but when a remote login is attempted, I see a blue background (just like on the server console), but just as I expect the login box to pop up, server "hangs up", and the windows client is blown back to the broadcast selection menu. In /var/log/messages I get: Nov 6 22:52:42 fstlx3 kdm[1733]: Greeter exited unexpectedly Nov 6 22:52:42 fstlx3 kdm[1733]: Abnormal helper termination, code 1, signal 0 Nov 6 22:52:42 fstlx3 kdm[1215]: Cannot convert Internet address 192.168.32.20 to host name The last line is probably harmless, I have seen that for ages in running system. In /var/log/kdm.log appears: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "192.168.32.20:0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "192.168.32.20:0.0".

Desktop-Icons
by ThommyUS 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Hallo, ich habe ein nicht sehr wichtiges, mich aber doch sehr störendes Problem (Suse 8.2). Ich habe vor längerer Zeit die Icons auf dem Desktop anders angeordnet (Laufwerke und dergleichen). Jedesmal wenn ich mich jetzt neu in KDE einlogge, sind die Teile anders angeordnet, nur nicht da wo sie sein sollen, nicht mal dort, wo sie mal ursprünglich waren. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die Icons an einen Platz zu binden ? MfG Thomas Janssen Suse-User aus Prinzip
