Re: [suse-kde] update to 3.4

You or me misuderstood something. I thought Jens Strohschnitter was talking about packages for SuSE 7.3 and I think I did understand him correct. For SuSE 7.3 there is no kdenetwork3-3.1.4 rpm, but there are many kmail changes from kde 3.1.3 to kde 3.1.4 (cryptplug etc.) And the main reason for kde 3.1.4 is the security fix in kdm. kdm ist part of the kdebase3 package and this package is not availiable for SuSE 7.3. So the point is correct that the SuSE 7.3 tree has not all the updates you need to get kde 3.1.4, so you have to rebuild some src.rpm's (mainly kdebase3 and kdenetwork3) from the 8.0 tree to have it all. SuSE 8.2 has all kde-3.1.4 oackages except kdeutils3. But that sounds correct to me, compared to the kde-3.1.4 changelog.

Sending emails with KMail stopped working
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Dear List, I am not able to send mails with KMail anymore (I am writing this with mozilla). Receiving works ok. I get an error from the mail server that: "No valid recipients specified" I am sure that the addresses are correct. I used reply to addressees I had used before. I am using SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1.3. I am the one who killed his KDE a few mails ago, It's working again- I had to disable socks in KDE - , but I don't think the mail-send problem now has to do with this, as KMail is actually talking to the server. How can I see what KMail actually sends to the server? Kostas

KDE 3.2 Beta
by Rocco Charamella 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

OK, I went and did it. I tried the upgrade via rpm's for 8.2 from the kde website. I can run some programs from the command line, like I'm in Kontact right now. But I have no menus and the taskbar is fried. There are menu entries in all the usual places but nothing shows up under the K menu from the taskbar. Can anyone help me restore the joy to KDE? I hope so. Thanks, sorry sap

Unable to Start KDE
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Suddenly, my KDE could not get started. I have been able to fix this by moving .kde to .kde.old, but I would like to reuse that one if possible I am running SuSE 8.1 with KDE 3.1.3, and had been running it like this since a few weeks. After running into problems with Konqueror while browsing (started to loose connections) I tried to relogin, when KDE would suddenly did not want to restart... KDM seemed to run ok. But when I tried to login as a user the splash screen started, then hung when initializing peripherals. Trying to login as root was a bit more helpful as there was a window appearing claiming that: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation. (or something to that end) I tried to google for ksmserver, but cannot find anything useful... Any idea about what I can do now to get KDE back to its old glory? Kostas

application menu in SuSE 9.0
by Kai Schröder 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hi all, I have following problem with my SuSE 9.0 installation: In /opt/kde3/share/applnk/ I have a folder "Development" with some .desktop files in, directory and file rights are okay. In file /opt/kde3/share/applnk/default_applications.menu I have a section for the Development menu: ... <Menu> <Name>Development</Name> <Directory>kde-development.directory</Directory> <Include> <Category>Development</Category> </Include> </Menu> ... All looks okay (for me), but I don't see the Development menu (not as user and not as root). Any idea how to make this menu (and some other) visible? Regards, Kai

Kroupware does not work correctly after upgrade to SuSE 9
by James Mohr 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hi All! I did a fresh install of SuSE 9, installed groupware from the RPMs I download. I had been using Kroupware with SuSE 8.2 and assumed that I could simply use the existing installation. Everything seems to work fine, except for the contacts/address book. When I click on it nothing at all happens. I can start Kaddressbook from the command line (if that means anything). Any ideas?

KDE 3.2beta with apt
by Markus Kohli 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Hello List Yesterday I had the stupid idea to let apt / synaptic update my KDE to the 3.2beat (=> 3.1.93). Well, as you see, Kmail is working, but that's about all... KDM doesn't show me the sessions I want, because the parameter "SessionTypes" in kdmrc is unknown, and KDE itself may be logged into, but all I get is the right-mouse-click menu and an empty kicker... Does anybody have the same problems? What did I miss? BTW, I'm on SuSE 8.2. Kind regards Marks Kohli -- Click... click... click... damn, out of taglines!

I'm a web developer. I have a folder that is the root of my website. If I open the folder, konq immediately displays the home page of the site. Is there a way that I can change it so that it doesn't default to that action? If so, how? Thanks, Rocco

non-kde apps look terrible after upgrade
by Allen Seelye 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

I just upgraded from kde3.1.3 to 3.1.4, using the rpms from suse's site, yesterday and I've noticed that the styles aren't being applied to non-kde apps like mozilla and thunderbird. I know they were before. There used to be a box in the styles menu that you could check to apply settings to non-kde apps. That setting is no longer there. Does anyone have any ideas on this? -- Allen Seelye ICQ# 8286205 Aseelye(a)blackfoot.net

Where is the camera control panel?
by Raimund Dold 02 Nov '03

02 Nov '03

Hi everybody! After upgrading from 8.2 to 9.0 I have no control panel for my digital camera anymore. If I use the camera IO-slave I get my installed camera two times, one is working and the other one seems to be an old configuration which does not work. Where can I get rid of this one? Where can I configure the io-slave? Raimund
