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.

K menu on SuSE 9.0
by "Mike Béla" 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Hi, I'm using KDE 3.1.4 on my SuSE 9.0. I'm trying to replace the standard SuSE menu with the customizable K menu. I can edit edit the K menu but cannot activate it. In the KDE Control Center there are no setting options for it (on SuSE 8.2 still was). How to activate the K menu on SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.1.4? Best regards, Bela _______________________________________________________________________ Hirdessen email-ben! Az email hirdetések hatékonysága sokkal jobb, mint a bannereké.

Kmail sound.
by candlish 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

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". Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "192.168.32.20:0.0". Failed to get list of devices X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 100 (X_ChangeKeyboardMapping) Serial number of failed request: 8 Current serial number in output stream: 10 Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "192.168.32.20:0.0". X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Value in failed request: 0x8 Serial number of failed request: 205 Current serial number in output stream: 343 KDE is 3.1.4, the latest from SuSE (via YOU) Does this ring a bell to anyone? I feel rather lost about "X" and KDE stuff. Thanks in advance - Joern W. Andersen

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
