File Manager Problems with 3.1
by DB Troll 13 Feb '03

13 Feb '03

I am still having problems with File Manager Super User in 3.1. If I set /tmp/mcop-dbtrol to owned by root this works fine but on booting I get an error from arts that there is a sound server fatal error because /tmp/mcop-dbtrol is not owned by user. If I change the directory to be owned by user then File Manager Super User comes up and immediately shuts down. How do I fix this or is this a known bug. TIA David

So it's not a broken link (have > created a new one anyway which didn't work either). Sounds like its not getting permission to open a window? try this Open the menu editor (right click on the k-menu, select "menu editor") 1) Click on system 2) Press the New Item button on the toolbar 3) Type into the string requester. Yast-SU press ok 4) In the main window (where it says command) enter kdesu /sbin/yast2 (you can just copy/paste the line above) then press enter just to make sure it takes 5) Give it a pretty icon if you like 6) Press Apply Give the system a few seconds to notice the changes. Now try it out (I had to try it a couple of times before it worked, System lag?) Hopefully you will get the familiar password entry box and once logged in your Beautiful yast! If not then something must be missing on your system (kdesu?) -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Hi. I had the same problem on my SuSE 8.1 Pro when i installed KDE 3.1. I think that has nothing to do with Yast2 but mainly with KDE. Try to download all the KDE's 3.1 RPMs from one ftp site e.g from ftp.kde.org/...../..... Sometimes,this problem appears a few times on my SuSE with KDE 3.1. I think kdesud is responsible for this... Just to verify this, run from the Konsole : 'kdesu konqueror'. If the kdesu dialog appears try not to check 'Remember password'. If it does not appear try 'ps -xa' from your Konsole. Try to find the line '/opt/kde3/bin/kdesud'. If you find it , kill that process with 'kill -9 PID' where PID is the process ID. When u kill the kdesu daemon, try again. I dont know if the above will solve your problem, but it applies to my SuSE :) >From: "Phil Harrison" <phil1(a)attglobal.net> >To: <suse-kde(a)suse.com> >Subject: [suse-kde] KDE3.1 & YaST2 >Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 17:11:26 -0000 > >Hi > >Just installed KDE 3.1 on SuSE 8.0 and >everything appears fine but YaST2 will no >longer run.

by Phil Harrison 12 Feb '03

Hi Just installed KDE 3.1 on SuSE 8.0 and everything appears fine but YaST2 will no longer run. It starts, but after I enter the root password nothing happens other than the dialog box closing! I have re-installed YaST2 from the original CDs and applied all updates but no change. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Phil

Re: [suse-kde] KDE 3.1 @ LinuKS SuSE avail yet?

Hi Mike! Normally you should aks such a question to the list too. Perhaps there are other eople who want to know, perhaps I tell you s.th. wrong and anybody knows better. You have to update at very least the base packages (kdebase3, kdelibs3, qt3.1) and i suggest you update all the packages, where you have installed an older version by now. And then you can install all the other packages you want. No magic. Daniel Am Mittwoch, 12.

Hello All, The SuSE LinuKS page : http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/linuks/index.html says that KDE 3.1 will be available there for 8.1 after Feb 11th. It is now the 11th but the content of the page is the same Jan 29th, 2003 and Oct 10, 2002 packages that were there last week. Does anyone know if or when the SuSE KDE 3.1 material will be avail?

KDE3.1 from "kde.org" or "suse.de" (Suse8.1)
by Clemens Eckert 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

****english version below**** Hallo, Die Installationsanleitung for KDE 3.1 von kde.org (http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/install.html) sagt mir ich muss die KDE-Basispackete installieren (z.B. kdelibs). Leider stimmen aber die dort genannten Packete nicht mit denen von suse.de (http://www.suse.de/de/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_1/index .html) überein. Welche Packete soll ich benutzen um KDE 3.1 zu installieren? Ich freue mich über jede Hilfe! Gruß Clemens Eckert ****english version***** Hello, I had a look at the installation instructions for KDE 3.1 from kde.org (http://www.kde.org/documentation/faq/install.html) and it is said there to install the base packages (like kdelibs). But the packages from Suse.de (http://www.suse.de/de/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_1/index .html) are named completely different than those on kde.org (suse.de provides no kdelibs for example). What packages have i got to use to install KDE 3.1? I'd appreciate any help! Clemens Eckert

japanese symbols on everybuddy

Hi! I have a strange problem: One of my contacts (via AIM) comes up with japanese looking symbols on everybuddy (0.4.3 on suse 8.0 box system). When I pull up the log I can read what she is saying, but that's kinda pain in the rear... All my other contacts (AOL and yahoo) come over fine... Any idea where I should look??? Thanks HG

3.1 /tmp/mcop-
by DB Troll 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

After upgrading to 3.1 on a 8.0 Pro system I was getting a error on boot saying /tmp/mcop-dbtrol was not owned by me. All else seemed to be working including File Manager Super User Mode. After changing owner to dbtrol the File Manager SUM now comes up and immediately disappears. If I change ownership back to root it works fine. Question is should there be a /tmp/mcop-root directory, Also should there be a root/.mcop which I remember before upgrading. TIA David

Hallo, Wahrscheinlich wurde das schon oft gefragt und diskutiert, aber ich bin erst seit ein paar Tagen auf der Liste, deshalb entschuldigt meine Frage bitte. Welches ist der einfachste Weg um KDE 3.1 auf Suse 8.1 zu installieren? Kann mir vielleicht jemand ein paar Zeilen dazu weiterleiten oder schreiben? Ich würde mich sehr über jede Hilfe freuen!
