unable to umount removable media under kde
by sebastien 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...
by Eric Jahn 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

...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?

Would you use strace to capture the messages in console? strace OpenOffice OpenOffice.strace then when you exit normally the DOT strace file will contain the full range of errors.

[KDE] problem loading kdm
by jb b 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

Hello, I know that my questions was already asked but I don't find any solution in the archive. So I have a Linux Suse 7.3 and I updated to kde 3.1. For the 1st time everythings work but after I wanted to change the background of kdm, kdm didn't start kde. It's always loaded a yellow terminal in the top rigth corner and I have to lunch kde or startkde or Xsession. After that every things works. I already try to re-install kde-base and to change the configurations files of xdm and kdm but it's never change. How can I solve this problem?? Thanks JB PS: I hope this message was send in the good maneer. Les noms de domaine les moins chers du marché : 6,49 euros HT sur http://www.lycos.fr/pro .

Haia I upgraded from SUSE 8.2 to 9.0 and I also included Openoffice in the upgrade. Now I have 2 ( two) Openoffice in my menu ,one is OO 1.1.0 and the other one is 1.1. When I click on OO 1.1 , nothing happens, (starting from CLI says ,command not found. Clicking on 1.1.0 starts some activity in the taskbar but after a while it stops and OO doesn't start. I have some files I created a couple of months ago and clicking on those , OO starts and I can do whatever I want. I also have some files created and saved a couple of days ago ( because OO used to work normally then) but clicking on them now , I get: KDEINIT couldn't launch /home/billy/openoffice etc etc. I used the repair option in OO but no change. Anybody knows what's going on here? -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."

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

adding sessions to kdm
by Ain Vagula 24 Nov '03

can't find the way to add sessions to kdm in kde 3.1.9x. In control panel this possibility is gone, adding to configuration file doesn't affect the behaviour of kdm login screen. ain

by steve edmonds 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

Hi. A couple of times I've deleted an email by accident. Although it still resides on the mail server (as mail is left on the server) I can't get it unless I set up on another pc. Kmail must store the fetched uidls somewhere, can someone please help with file location so I can re-fetch these emails. thanks, steve
