How to create my own K-Menu?
by Thomas Michalka 23 Feb '03

23 Feb '03

Hi, how can I create my own additional start menu in kicker? I've been trying to firstly add a new K-Menu an then to edit this with the menu editor. Unfortunately this altered the original K-Menu too. Is there any possibility to create a generic menu which is customizable according to entries, their naming and organisation in subentries or folders, respectively, and their order, too? Probably I have to manually alter some configuration files. Please tell me which one if you know. Any hints are very appreciated! Best regards, Thomas Michalka

Will Yast support update to kde3.1?

22 Feb '03

I am using Suse 8.1 and would like to update kde to 3.1. Currenlty, yast2 online update does not have an option for this. Will this be available or is there a better way for me to update? Thanks!

Re: [suse-kde] How to install the KDE 3.1 ?
by sven sandin 22 Feb '03

I followed the instructions on the http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm. The site will give you all the information you need. When the apt was up and running I installed a few harmful packages to convince myself that everythis was working. I then installed one package after the other. When I was finished I installed them a second time to make sure all dependencies had been resolved. For a moment I had problems with icons disapearing but they showed up later when installing other packages. I guess you better install from a proper root login rather than loggin as a root under your personal account. I have had no problems since.

by Daniel Eckl 22 Feb '03

22 Feb '03

Hi! Can anybody confirm that kwebdesktop cannot render any font smaller than 12px? I made a screenshot here: http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=1019&action=view The source of this page is: <html> <body> </body> </html> and i rendered it with: kwebdesktop 350 250 image.png "http://localhost/test.html" and the page renders perfect in Konqueror... Does anybody know a workaround or another tool to use instead of kwebdesktop? Greets, Daniel

problems with kopete 0.6.1
by Steffen Petter 21 Feb '03

21 Feb '03

Hello, I have updated my kopete via download from SuSE Linux KDE Service. the new version is kopete 0.6.1 on my KDE 3.1 (SuSE 8.0). If I want to launch kopete nothing happens. If I call it on konsole, the error "Speicherzugriffsfehler" appears. But if I call kopete via root with "kdesu kopete" then the application starts to work. I backed up my previous kopete settings to a different location and I deleted all personal settings from previous version of kopete. How can I get to work as a normal user? Thanks and greetings from Weimar, Germany Steffen

Slow Desktop since memory upgrade

Hi, I use SuSE Prof. 8.0 and since I added additional 256MB RAM to get 512MB, the KDE 3 desktop is noticeable slower. Do I have to change whatever configuration somehow?

kwebdesktop vs. meta refresh
by Daniel Eckl 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hi! I have a question regarding kwebdesktop. If kwebdesktop should fetch a page that has a meta refresh header line (e.g. <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300">) then kwebdesktop doesn't return and seems to hang. I assume that khtml is waiting for the refresh event. Thus I cannot take a webpage as desktop-background if this page has such an entry. This is even worse, because if you start KDE, kdesktop is waiting for kwebdesktop to finish, before it shows the icons etc. So you only have the grey X background. Is there a known workaround? Thanks, Daniel

I've noticed that konq. doesn't seem to like that particular line at all. I've got my own site set up with that exact line and konq won't refresh it at all. But it's also in an inline frame and that may or may not have anything to do with it. >Hi! > >I have a question regarding kwebdesktop. > >If kwebdesktop should fetch a page that has a meta refresh header line (e.g. ><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="300">) then kwebdesktop doesn't return >and seems to hang.

Missing blue and white background in konqueror 3.1
by Jeroen Leijen 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

Hi, I upgraded from KDE 3.0.5 to 3.1 on my Suse 8.1 system using yast with the 3.1 packages that Suse provides on their site. In 3.0.5 I used to see the nice blue and white stripes in konqueror using the the 'detailed list view mode'. In 3.1 the background is plain white. Anyone on restoring the stripes? I know they consist of the background color and the alternate background color that can be set using KDE control center -> look and feel -> colors. Everything fine there but still no stripes.

Suse 8.1, KDE 3.1 and Konqueror
by Bill Hogsett 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

After installing 3.1, Konqueror has stopped working. Clicking on the icon results in a busy icon for maybe 30 seconds and then nothing. Running konqueror from a shell, results in nothing, except a message "Alarm clock" and then the prompt returns. I assume that is a time out. Any suggestions? Bill Hogsett

cervisia question
by Jim Hamilton 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have an interesting problem with cervisia and wondering if any one on the list might be able to point me in the right direction. If this list is not the appropriate place for the query let me know. I have a SuSE 8.1 pro system up and running fine. I set up a cvs repository and can import. checkout, commit etc from the command line no problems at all. Cervisia version is 1.5rich1 (Using KDE 3.0.5) If I run cervisia select Repository and and configure my cvs repository (/home/cvs) the checkout and import menu options under repository remain greyed out (unavailable). If I close cervisia, use the cvs checkout from the command line then run cervisia I can commit and update etc from inside cervisia. If I try to checkout (which is now available) naming a module it will succesfully checkout that module. If I attempt to fetch the list of modules cervisia will crash. I feel I have missed somthing obvious in the the way I access or have setup cvs. Any toughts appreciated.

Confused
by sven sandin 19 Feb '03

19 Feb '03

Hi Thank you all for useful tips on an earlier inquiry on the KDE 3.1 installation. Richard Bos: I followed your advice on using the apt. A nice piece of software that solved the entire process smoothly without any problems. I find the KDE 3.1 runs more efficiently and with less bugs than my previous installation SuSE 8.0 + KDE 3.04. However I encountered the following: Having installed KDE 3.1 I did get an icon on the K-menu allowing me to login to another user GUI desktop. Using <alt>F7 and <alt>F8 it was possible to switch between different logins. I did not have this facility before the KDE 3.1 installation. Now the icons has disappeared again. Do anyone know about this ? I have never seen any commercials for this nice feature and would really like to get it back again. Greateful for any help or information Sven

[suse-kde] KDE 3.1 und SuSE-Icons?

Hallo Liste Folgendes Problem: Seit dem Update auf KDE 3.1 (mit SuSE-Paketen, wohlgemerkt!) kann ich die SuSE-Icons nicht mehr holen, d.h. ich weiss zwar wo sie sind, und könnte sie auch einzeln zuordnen, aber ich kann das Symbol-Thema nicht über das Kontrollzenter zuweisen. Als neues Thema installieren kann ich auch nicht, da das Verzeichnis, wo die Icons drin liegen, halt kein Symbol-Archiv ist... Ich will meine Icons zurück! HILFE! Bin für jeden Hinweis dankbar...

Bad Bug - Konqi goes wild on RPM
by Peter B Van Campen 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

Hi Everyone, Twice now when I have had Konqi open to a local dir, when I single click (left) on a RPM package Konqi goes wild and brings the machine down. Details: SuSE 8.1 up to date via YOU, KDE 3.0.5, dual P-III 1.2GHz 512MB ram. Left clicking a RPM pkg in Konqi causes Konqi to start opening new Konqi instances continuiously and limitlessly; the proliferation of Konqi windows eventually kills the system. I've learned to Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace to kill X before the system crashes. Inever seen anbything like this ever before, and I hope never again! Anyone seen this? Can anyone offer any help?

kde3.1 - konqueror crashes when reading html
by Matt T. 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

Hi all, with most rc's and also with the latest snapshots (post release, on SuSE 8.1) of kde3.1 konqueror runs as file manager, but not as html browser. Whenever I want to open a html page, remote or local, by typing in the url or by clicking on a file, konqeror crashes without an error message. When I installed the rpm's from kde for SuSE 8.1 it worked fine. However because kdm was not so nice with the rpm's and most of all because konsole and kword did not run anymore I did install the latest snapshots of kde3.1 (just libs and base though). Now konsole works, kdm rocks, and I can use konq as filemanager, but not as browser. OK, I can use Opera, which is the best anyway, but it is still annoying. Any ideas? I haven't seen this reported, so may be it is just a local configuration issue. Thanks, Matt
