KDE 3.1 Suse 8.1
by Sven Burmeister 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

Hello everybody, I got Suse 8.1 and wanted to install KDE 3.1. However, as the new packages are not yet available with Yast2 Update I got the RPMs from kde.org meant for Suse 8.1. I ran into several problems, for example no matter how often I installed the multimedia-devel RPM YAst did not notice it and kept its 3.0.3. Another thing is that there does not seem to be a kdemultimedia rpm for the 3.1 release but Yast shows one for 3.0.3, thus I cannot update it should I uninstall it? The kdeaddons-konqueror rpm is not recognised by Yast after installing it and the 3.0.3 is still shown as being installed. This actually happens to quite a lot of KDE3.1's rpms. After re-installing Suse I got konstructor to do the KDE 3.1 install which got me KDE 3.1 running but no Yast, so this is no option. What am I doing wrong? should I first download all KDE3.1 rpms, use Yast to uninstall all of KDE3 and then install 3.1? How did you do it when upgrading to 3.1? Konqueror > Install using Yast...? When will the 3.1 packages be available with Yast? Thanks a lot in advance! Sven -- << s.burmeister(a)lancaster.ac.uk * sven.burmeister(a)gmx.de >> :: http://www.lancs.ac.uk/ug/burmeist/

Kate - No files? (KDE 3.1)
by Joe 'Flame' Sullivan 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hey all, Okay, upgraded to KDE 3.1 on my SuSE 8.1 system. Kate is a much-used program for me. But the 3.1 version seems to not want to show any files! What I mean is in the left-side Selector, where you can browse directories and open files from there by clicking on them. It shows Directories, I can move in and out of directories with no problem. But no files in the directories are showing, just subdirectories if any. Is this an issue, or do I have selective blindness that blocks viewing actual files? No files of any kind are showing. I've tried all the various settings for it (Short View/Detailed View/Separate Directories/Show Hidden Files) and no files show with anything. Only way to open files is to click "Open File" and use the open file popup to open files one at a time. Thanks, Joe

"kups" not working since kde 3.1 upgrade
by Michael Nelson 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Since upgrading my SuSE 8.1 system with the rpms from ftp.kde.org, kups has stopped working for users and root. When I try to start it from a shell, I see this error: kcontrol: ERROR: Module System/printmgr not found! However, when I search for printmgr.desktop, I find I have two of them: /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/Settings/System/printmgr.desktop /opt/kde3/share/applnk/Settingsmenu/printmgr.desktop But they are different, and both seem to be older than they should be: ls -l /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/Settings/System/printmgr.desktop /opt/kde3/share/applnk/Settingsmenu/printmgr.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8264 Sep 28 11:22 /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE/Settings/System/printmgr.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8976 Nov 18 05:14 /opt/kde3/share/applnk/Settingsmenu/printmgr.desktop Has anyone else run into this problem, and is there a solution? Thanks Michael -- Michael Nelson San Francisco, CA

KDE 3.1 and SMB://
by B. J. Zolp 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

I upgraded to KDE3.1 using the SuSE 8.1 rpm's. Now when I try browsing out to any SMB, FTP, FISH, etc... shares all I get is a path like "lan://localhost/pc.domain.net/SMB" and konqueror does not change to "smb://pc.domain.net/" like it should. I reran the LISA setup a few times, but no luck. Any help would be great. thanks bjz

Fwd: (OT) Re: [kde] KDE 3.1 RPM:s for Red Hat?

Let us all work to show ALL the world that the SuSE community values and admires KDE Team as much as they deserve! PeterB ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [kde] KDE 3.1 RPM:s for Red Hat? Date: Sat, 01 Feb 2003 16:01:33 -0600 From: Andreas Pour <pour(a)mieterra.com> To: kde(a)mail.kde.org Hi, I do not know if you will find RedHat rpms. I considered making them but in light of the changes RH has made to KDE (see e.g. http://www.mosfet.org/noredhat.html and http://www.mosfet.org/rh-rebuttal.html) it is a non-trivial matter. You have to port KDE to RH 8.0, b/c RH does not follow standards and essentially "forks" open source projects by making incompatible modifications in "secret" (i.e., outside the projects' CVS tree and without the projects' knowledge). If you want to support that type of behavior, then support RH. If not, use another distro that works with the Open Source community, rather than against them, or tell RH you would like them to change their practices.

Kpilot needs lib
by PL O'Smith 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hi all, When installing kdepim3-kpilot from the 3.1 files, I found it needed a lib that wasn't included with any of the new files. I believe it was a libpisock.so.8.0 library file. I looked on the SuSE 8.1 discs and find it is included in the pilot-link rpm file there, but of course that is an older version which won't work. Anyone got this worked out yet or a clue to finding the file for the new kdepim3-kpilot files?

Addressbook in KDE 3.1
by mchristoph.eckert＠t-online.de 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I cannot solve the following prob: I just updated to KDE 3.1 (from 3.0.5) on my SuSE 8.0 machine. Besides others, I currently try to have my addresses back in KAB. My addressbook-file has been stored in /home/ce/.kde/share/apps/kabaddressbook.kab until the update. Now it seems that in KDE 3.1 the addressbook is stored as /home/ce/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf But when I call the addressbook, my further entries from KDE 3.0.5 haven't been imported, and I cannot find any possibility to do the import manually, whether directly in kab nor in the control center. Is there any hint how I can convert or merge the old file to the new one? best regards ce -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+PAVFwl5BpgWy4BMRApSPAJ93z+Mt4f7oykFfYp9CLMsU2lXn/ACfURH7 14Yq/pqFn4bi0cSULEONvso= =QHEY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hi, I just install KDE 3.1. When I use Kmail and try to reply to an html message, it quote the source code of the message and not only the letters.
