konqueror after upgrade
by ovidiu pascui 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hi I was using KDE 3.1.1 on my SuSE 8.1 box installed from the KDE.org and everything was OK. This morning I decided to upgrade the KDE packages to those available on SuSE's homepage. The installation (rpm -Fvh *.rpm) was OK, but now konqueror does not display anymore some web pages like www.suse.de. I remember that I had this problem also before using the packages from the KDE.org site, could somebody give me a hint to what is the problem here? Some bugs in SuSE's packages? Did someone else noticed this?

kbear-site-manager-daemon
by Andreas Bauer 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

Hello together I have here a very nasty little daemon, that always shows up in my Kicker (where the littel icons like for Licq etc, show up). Doesn't matter how often I turn this thing off, it always comes back. Something in Kbear is broken (it won't start) and propably there is the option to turn this off. As I don't need Kbear I never tryed to make it run. Anyone an idea how I get rid of this little pain. Thx Andi -- Bomb Texas! They too have oil.

[suse-kde] kde 3.1.1-33 style and other problems
by Franklin Maurer 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

After updating kde (to 3.1.1-33) through apt yesterday / today I noticed the look of kde changed. So I went to check if liquid was still selected in Control Center > Appearance > Style, and most of the style choices have disappeared. All that's there are the qt styles. Anyone else have this problem? I also noticed that in kmail under the folder properties there is no longer a way to control which folder a subfolder belongs to. The pull down menu only has top level as a choice. (kde network-mail 3.1.1-35) Any ideas on how to get the styles back? I assume they are still there but not showing up in the list. I ran SuSEconfig but they still didn't show up. Also any ideas about the kmail folder properties fiasco? I had to re-enter that my suse-kde folder contains a mailing list, and the folder jumped out of it's subfolder. My organized kmail will soon be chaos. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1

The bottom line though is poor customer service in regards to damaged products. GoogleGears policy in a nutshell, "When in doubt blame the customer" :-( Here's my sad story ; I purchased $700.00 worth of equipment over a 2 day period from them. The parts arrived quite promptly and I was very happy. 2 days later while preparing to install the motherboard they had shipped me I noticed a small "grunge/burn" in one corner (over time this grunge has become quite large in my mind :-O, this grunge/burn had to have been created by a rather large arc as far as I can tell. I RMA'd the motherboard and sent it back to them. Things slowed down at this point, eventually they shipped the board back to me and stated that they would not replace the board as it was damaged :-0 I will never buy from Googlegear again! Speed of shipping was excellent, but if heaven forbid you recieve some DOA parts then your money is gone. I'm out $120.00 (us) (more than 10% of the total project cost) and my time, as well as being hesitant to ever shop online again. Since I have been using this sig I have recieved mail from others w/ nearly identical experiences. Had all the parts I wanted been available locally (within 50 miles) I would have probably bought locally. The savings (had there been any) of buying on line would have been less than $100, this does not take into account the expense of a replacement motherboard or return shipping for the dead mb. My suggestion - buy locally if you can. If you buy online then treat it like gambling, only spend as much as you are willing to lose. - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+gedYBwgxlylUsJARAvHlAJ9Ze/Ua7NwY4vYMpVyaMpBtK00NrwCfT0FX RTfpPxbFgZaqMPJub1AZg1E= =rb4W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

audio:/ device does not show anything
by Tim Ruehsen 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

Hi, after inserting an Audio(Music) CD into the cdrom/cdrecorder device, I can not access audio:/ with konquerer. Everything is enabled and should work. (E.g. 'Grip' works very fine for ripping). In the control center I teste both: auto-detect and fixed to /dev/cdrom. Both result in the same error when clicking onto 'Audio-CD-Browser': (tranlated from german) Failed to load 'audio:/': File or directory '/' does not exist. This is on SuSE 8.1, KDE 3.1.0, kernel SuSE 2.4.19 What can I do? Besides an other question: these mixed music/data cds mount fine with mount -t iso9660 ... or with filesys set to 'iso9660' in fstab. But filesys 'auto' does not work, error message is: blitz-lx:/etc # mount /media/cdrecorder /dev/cdrecorder: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type I am not sure if this the same with pure data cdroms (don't have one here). Is there a solution (kernel update?). Regards, Tim Ruehsen

Upgrading to KDE 3.11
by Dr John Satherley 31 Mar '03

31 Mar '03

Hi! I'm using SuSE8.1 professional and the version of KDE that came with this distribution followed by an online update with YAST. Consequently, most of the KDE modules are version 3.0.4. The whole system is very stable. At the moment it has been up for 41 days and during that time I've installed and uninstalled lots of things with absolutely no problems. I am particularly pleased about this stability as I have of recent times moved over from win98SE. I want to be a user of the programs that run under linux rather than spending my time tinkering with the innards of linux - although in the last 3 months I've done quite a bit of that. I want a stable, secure system that enables me to work more productively. Newer versions of KDE and other programs are appearing very frequently but I've noticed that many people seem to have teething problems with the newer versions. Although I would like to have access to a number of the new features in KDE3.1 and 3.11 will I be risking my new found stablity if I upgrade? I guess my questions are: 1) If I want to keep the stablity should I wait and upgrade the distribution which will include the lastest version of KDE? 2) If its thought that it is safe to upgrade to 3.1 then what is the recommended method/route? 3) Given that it is OK to upgrade should I upgrade to KDE3.1 and then upgrade to 3.11 or can one jump from 3.0.4 to 3.11? Any thoughts, comments, or answers will be gratefully received. John

I went up through installing the RPMs manually myself (I'm on SuSE 7.2), and I didn't notice it at the time, because I use keramik, but having checked, the liquid style no longer appears in the list for me, either.

Unfortunately my understanding of linux doesn't really go to backtracing crashes etc, It does sound from your previous mail that you still may have system instabilities (you mentioned a crash when sending a mail I think). There is a shell command that you can use to tell you what programs are in an rpm package, unfortunately I'm not sure what it is. The error you recieved basically tells me that konqueror crashed. Usually, in this particular case I just try running konq again. If there is nothing really wrong then you should be able to work as normal. (currently I get 1 or 2 crashes from konq in a couple day period, without it affecting my faith in the system.) Curtis's suggestions about using the shell "konsole" were really good, if konqueror is crashing on you regularly then opening a terminal window and running konqueror from there would probably be the easiest way for you to get the info that the list needs to be able to help you. My new question for you is does konqueror crash every time you use it? Being that konq is such a key component of kde this would be one of the first things to fix unless you just prefer to switch windowmanagers (or use nautilus or another file manager, but that leaves you with unanswered questions about the source of your problem) I installed z88 and looked at what files were "program files" but this type of program is totally out of my experience (Dammit Jim, I'm a Carpenter, not a Mathematician ;-) z88 has numerous "program files" which exist in the /usr/X11R6/bin/ directory (remember also linux is case sensitive) but I don't have a clue which are meant for user interaction.

31 Mar '03

Hi, I installed all rpm's from kde.org for kde 3.1.1 for SuSE 8.1, and kooka and kinternet are not there. Did I do something wrong, or are they really missing? While I prefer kppp, there are things only kinternet can handle, such as different devices with different configurations for each connection/providers. kppp has just one device configuration which is uses for all providers.

left right reordering of start and stop buttons in kdm
by Richard Bos 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Why have the start and stop buttons swapped places in kdm? I now often select stop (close, don't remember the exact English term) instead of start. That's because "stop" is now closest to the user icons that are at the left site of the login manager => One select the user by clicking, goes to the first button right and `oops' that's the stop button :(( I've just asked the kdm maintainer and according him, SuSE has made the changes. Is this true, if yes than I'm asking myself why, why and why? Please have the buttons replaced like it used to be, that seems at least more user friendly. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

(If this is a not possible w/ incredimail I might suggest trying another mailer). Basically, check your mail prefs and be sure that things are sent as "Plain Text" by default. By doing this It is earier for others to reply to each question or part. Secondly, try to cut out the parts of a reply that are no longer needed. Third, although I don't always understand why, It is considered poor form to post your reply at the top of the page (unless you cut out all of the quotes) ie. leave the quoted part at the top of the reply and write your reply directly after each section or at the bottom of the page. > running a Celeron 600 MHz Pentium III processor with an ASUS CUV4X > Motherboard. 192 Mg SDram.

Pretty easy to try them, at login there is a drop down list that lets you choose other window managers to try. That said KDE is in my mind the most full featured desktop environment, but alot of times when I'm trying to work out system problems I use Blackbox as it's very fast and easy on resources. > I have loaded some math software Through YaST.

Updating KMenu with Kappfinder does not work
by mbrugge＠gmx.net 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Hi out there! I have SuSE 8.1, successfully updated to KDE 3.1.1 with the packages from kde.org. I tried to get some applications into KMenu with Kappfinder. The program runs, finds some uninstalled applications and offers them to be installed in Kmenu. I selected a few of them and exited Kappfinder. My Kmenu stays unchanged, none of the selected programs show up in the menu. Does Kappfinder work on a different menu than that one, KDE shows to me? This happens to 'normal' users as well as to root. Martin -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!

xfree 4.3 and kde 3.1 / 3.1.1 = font problems / kprinter crash (BUG ?)
by Matt T. 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Hi, I did upgrade my SuSE 8.1 box to Xfree 4.3 and kde3.1 and now kde 3.1.1, and I did run in a problem (a bug) involving font display and printing, causing koffice to crash when trying to print. After wasting 2 days with it, I give up, either this is a bug or I need good ideas from you guys to show me a solution. I cannot say for sure, when exactly the problem started, but as far as I remember it was after the Xfree 4.3 upgrade, using the provided SuSE 8.1 rpms. There seems to be a problem in the display of fonts, which leads to 1) In ControlCenter/SysAdmin/Font Installer there is no preview of any font anymore. - Either "no preview available" - or it seems to show a preview, but it is not visible, as if it would print white on white (this one is just a little annoying) 2) In konsole - ALL the default fonts are invisible. They are there, but again white on white (Normal, Tiny, ..., huge). - If trying to select a "fixed" font, again, they are not visible. - Other fonts are visible, such as "Lucida console" (this one is also just a little annoying) 3) In kword, kspread, or any program using kprinter, this one crashes when trying to print, but ONLY when certain fonts are in the document. It is crashing no matter if preview or printing. - It works fine with fonts such as helvetica, Arial, Arial unicode MS, Futura Book, Lucida Sans Typewriter, Charter, Utopia, Tahoma etc. - It crashes when using Lucida Sans, Zurich, Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Lucida Fax, Luxi Mono, Angsana New, Book Antiqua etc. , see backtrace attached below. All these fonts did print fine before with kword printing. (this one is quite annoying, I really would like to use koffice) - however if I print a file from openoffice using kprinter and a font, which is crashing kword printing (see above), it prints fine! Is this a kde problem. I think yes and no. ================================ - yes, because xfontsel shows all fonts fine. - yes, because openoffice prints all these fonts with no problem. - no, because openofice also does not display small fonts anymore, if the view (windowsize and zoomfactor) results in the font being somewhat small (but not too smal to display). The test is there, but again "white on white", just not visible. I did reinstall xfree 4.3, qt and kde a couple of times, with no change. I even tried to downgrade to Xfree 4.2, but then kde would not start anymore, it insisted in finding libfontconfig.so.1, which got installed by XFree 4.3 only, and I did not find where there would be a config file to influence this. Anyone has seen this, or is it just me? Or is there a fix for this? Any ideas? Thanks, Matt T.

Kate and spell check
by Tomas Willebrand 27 Mar '03

Hi! I have a odd problem. I can't seem to change the language for spell checking within the editor Kate? It is possible in Kmail, Kword ..etc but not in Kate. I have to go to the global settings for KDE and change the language in spell check. Any hints? I use SUSE8.1, KDE3.11 and ispell with English and Swedish as possible languages. /Tomas

Hallo, trotz des Aufrufes "xearth -size %x,%y -ppm -proj merc > %f" zeigt xearth keine Marker und keine Einträge aus dem built-in marker file an. Einkompiliert wurde es, überprüft mit xearth -showmarkers. Die Optionen "-markers" und "-markerfile built-in" sollten der man-page nach Voreinstellungen sein, aber auch mit den Optionen in der Befehlszeile oben explizit mit angegeben, zeigt keine Marker und Orte an. Auch dei -label-Option zeigt nichts an. Wisst Ihr da weiter? Gruß Stefan

KDE 3.1.1problem with background image
by George Reynolds 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Has anybody else had a problem with the background image messing up when you move a window around? The right hand edge of the window makes the image mess up, it moves the pixels around so it looks really weird i.e. the image is displayed out of line or bits of it over other bits. Hard to describe..... thanks george

KDE 3.1.1 via Konstruct
by Ben Rosenberg 24 Mar '03

24 Mar '03

Well, I've run into my first issue with compiling KDE 3.1.1 with Konstruct. Nothing will compile and I keep getting the error that kdelibs are not installed. Well, I just recompiled the kdelibs-3.1.1 tarball and made sure everything was in the right place. The configure file in kopete 0.6.1a still isn't happy. I wouldn't even be compiling kopete if the icq.plugin wasn't shitting on itself everytime it tries to connect. It's not an ICQ problem because Licq connects just fine and so did kopete before the upgrade. It really is starting to piss me off that with the uber cool build system that SuSE has they can't make 3.1.1 pkgs for 8.0. I know that 8.2 is just around the corner (6 weeks or so) but that doesn't mean much. I think 8.0 and 8.1 should both be supported. I found nothing in the 3.1.1 tarballs that wouldn't work with 8.0 so there are not any excuses that "this or that" won't work. That's a load crap...but my lack of experience in putting things in the right place has made it impossible for me to compile things against this new version. /end rant Yours truly in extreme disgust and apathy. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..

3.1.1 and Yast
by Bill Hogsett 23 Mar '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't know how to install 3.1.1 using Yast2 on a SuSE 8.1 system.

When I try to configure Yast2 to look at the server and directory, I get this error: "ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media)" I am guessing that Yast looks in the designated directory for a .rc file to use to determine the directory contents and versions and none is in the directory.

The miraculously multiplying kdeinit
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 21 Mar '03

21 Mar '03

My KDE 3.1 is getting slower and slower while working on it. After an average 4 hours of work today, which includes usage of KMail, KAudioCrator, Konqueror, OpenOffice, and a dozen Konsoles, ps -A returns running kdeinstances by the dozen (output below). Now already on startup (which lately takes forever and a day, with *no* programs to restore!) I have quite a few instances of kdeinit running (about 3 times as much as on my virgin debian w/KDE 3.0.4), but nothing compared to what I am looking at, at the end of the day... Any idea on what is causing this, or how to stop it?

Installing KDE 3.1 on SuSE 8.1
by George Reynolds 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

I guess this topic has been asked more than once, but I do have a specific problem. If you don't want to answer my question directly, please refer me to the appropriate archive posting/website. I have just bought Linux Format magazine with the precomilled SuSE binaries for KDE 3.1 on them. When I follow their instructions: linux:/home/george/progs/suse # rpm -Fhv *.rpm i18n/*.rpm the result is this: file /opt/kde3/share/mimelnk/image/x-pcx.desktop from install of kdelibs3-3.1-46 conflicts with file from package pixieplus-kde-0.3-254 I don't understand why. I have tried renaming and deleting the file, but it still comes up with the error. If I am doing it wrong please let me know, as I will have to tell them at linux format. many thanks George The contents of the directory are as follows: /home/george/progs/suse . kdemultimedia3-midi-31-46i5.rpm .. kdemultimedia3-sound-31-46i.rpm arts-11-49i586.rpm kdemultimedia3-video-31-46i.rpm arts-devel-11-49i586.rpm kdenetwork3-31-61i586.rpm arts-gmcop-11-49i586.rpm kdenetwork3-chat-31-61i586.rpm i18n kdenetwork3-devel-31-61i586.rpm kdeaddons3-games-31-10i586.rpm kdenetwork3-dialup-31-61i58.rpm kdeaddons3-kate-31-46i586.rpm kdenetwork3-lan-31-61i586.rpm kdeaddons3-kicker-31-46i586.rpm kdenetwork3-lisa-31-61i586.rpm kdeaddons3-konqueror-31-46i.rpm kdenetwork3-mail-31-61i586.rpm kdeaddons3-sound-31-46i586.rpm kdenetwork3-news-31-61i586.rpm kdeadmin3-31-51i586.rpm kdenetwork3-query-31-61i586.rpm kdeartwork3-31-62i586.rpm kdepim3-31-62i586.rpm kdeartwork3-sound-31-62i586.rpm kdepim3-kpilot-31-62i586.rpm kdeartwork3-xscreensaver-31.rpm kdepim3-organizer-31-62i586.rpm kdebase3-31-51i586.rpm kdepim3-sync-31-62i586.rpm kdebase3-devel-31-51i586.rpm kdepim3-time-management-31-.rpm kdebase3-extra-31-51i586.rpm kdesdk3-31-65i586.rpm kdebase3-kdm-31-51i586.rpm kdesdk3-devel-31-65i586.rpm kdebase3-ksysguardd-31-51i5.rpm kdesdk3-translate-31-65i586.rpm kdebase3-nsplugin-31-51i586.rpm kdetoys3-31-61i586.rpm kdebase3-samba-31-51i586.rpm kdeutils3-31-58i586.rpm kdebindings3-c-31-33i586.rpm kdeutils3-devel-31-58i586.rpm kdebindings3-java-31-33i586.rpm kdeutils3-extra-31-58i586.rpm kdebindings3-mozilla-31-33i.rpm kdeutils3-laptop-31-58i586.rpm kdeedu3-31-63i586.rpm libart_lgpl-2310-75i586.rpm kdegames3-31-62i586.rpm libart_lgpl-devel-2310-75i5.rpm kdegames3-arcade-31-62i586.rpm libxml2-251-1i586.rpm kdegames3-board-31-62i586.rpm libxml2-devel-251-1i586.rpm kdegames3-card-31-62i586.rpm libxslt-1023-25i586.rpm kdegames3-tactic-31-62i586.rpm libxslt-devel-1023-25i586.rpm kdegraphics3-31-62i586.rpm qt3-311-15i586.rpm kdegraphics3-devel-31-62i58.rpm qt3-devel-311-15i586.rpm kdegraphics3-extra-31-62i58.rpm qt3-devel-doc-311-15i586.rpm kdegraphics3-fax-31-62i586.rpm qt3-devel-tools-311-16i586.rpm kdegraphics3-kamera-31-62i5.rpm qt3-extensions-311-16i586.rpm kdegraphics3-postscript-31-.rpm qt3-man-311-16i586.rpm kdegraphics3-tex-31-62i586.rpm qt3-mysql-311-16i586.rpm kdegraphics3-viewer-31-62i5.rpm qt3-non-mt-311-18i586.rpm kdelibs3-31-46i586.rpm qt3-postgresql-311-16i586.rpm kdelibs3-cups-31-46i586.rpm qt3-unixodbc-311-16i586.rpm kdelibs3-devel-31-46i586.rpm quanta-31-61i586.rpm kdelibs3-devel-doc-31-46i58.rpm x-pcx.desktop kdemultimedia3-devel-31-62i.rpm /home/george/progs/suse/i18n . kde3-i18n-lt-31-0noarch.rpm .. kde3-i18n-mt-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-af-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-nb-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ar-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-nl-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-bg-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-nn-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-bs-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-pl-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ca-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-pt-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-cs-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ro-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-da-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ru-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-de-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-sk-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-el-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-sl-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-en_gb-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-sr-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-eo-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-sv-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-es-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ta-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-et-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-th-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-eu-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-tr-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-fi-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-uk-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-fr-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-vi-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-he-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-xh-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-hu-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-zh_cn-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-it-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-zh_tw-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-ja-31-0noarch.rpm kde3-i18n-zu-31-0noarch.rpm

Encapsulated messages in KMail
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Hello List, A few days ago (13.3.) our current Mail Server went bonkers and didn't accept any mails for a night. This made me, among other things, miss some answers to a question I posed on this list. Now ezmlm was so kind to inform me today about which messages bounced and offered me to resend them if I wished. I did that, and now I have all messages in a digest, and would like to extract them into my mailing list folder (all under KMail). Can I save the encapsulated messages separately and import them somehow. The MIME-Tree view gives me of every encapsulated messages two views: 1. "file: suse-kde_2298.ezm" and 2. "encapsulated message". Selecting either of them gives the same view in the preview pane. Right-clicking in the MIME viewer on either of them gives two choices: "Save As", and "Save as Encoded". What would be the right procedure? Kostas

KDE start error.
by Herman Kerkhofs 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Dear list, This seems to me that this is a big problem, because I still haven't got any solution from this list. No I did not install the new XFree86, I still use XFree86 4.2. I found out that my problem was with libart_lgpl, so I downloaded the new version from the SuSe site. Then I put it on a floppy, but when I wanted to install the rpm on my pc it did work. I tryed it first with yast, but nothing happen't. Then i tryed it with rpm, but still no luck. I get an error messages that sayes: error: cannot open file libart_lgpl.rpm: Unknown file or directory. SuSe Linux 8.0 Pro KDE 3.1 Any ideas ? Please help ? Greetings, Walter Kerkhofs

Konqueror: favicon.ico sucks..can i turn it off ?
by Pete 19 Mar '03

19 Mar '03

Hy, its just a tiny thing but its getting on my nerves... when you use konqueror as a browser, the icon used in the program bar (in german: "externe fensterleiste") is the favicon. So normally when i want to reopen a program, im just looking for the right icon and klick on it. But Konqueror changes its icon...depending on the shown site and its favicon. Is there a way to tell konqueror not to use the sites favicon as the program icon ? thx Pete

KMAIL - ooohhh this is really starting to...
by David Herman 16 Mar '03

16 Mar '03

I love kmail but I'm really starting to get frustrated. Every once in awhile Kmail will magically mark all the mail in certain folders as NEW. That wouldn't be a big problem except I spend a fair amount of time Marking messages that I find particularly fascinating as "Important". When kmail marks all the messages as new then it is easy to change the status of all messages to "Read" but I lose the visual cue I so lovingly created. Another curious effect: occasionally long deleted messages are returned to their orriginal folder (I empty the trash frequently and actually quit the program in hopes of preventing this). Kmail is not marking the mail in all folders as new, it seems to me that it is only doing this to folders that recieve unread mail (ie my filters send the incoming mail to the desired folder before I read it) Is there any way to restore the folders previous states rather than the unsatisfactory and ham fisted "folder-->mark all messages as read" menu? nb. I'm not interested in switching to evolution or mutt right now. Thanks for your ideas -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

I've compiled a few programs and patched and installed my own kernel so I'm kind of interested in a new adventure...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a question and a problem with Yast2. I am running SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1. First, the question. How is it that Yast reports that I have a later version of a file than that on the only server I have ever accessed for an update? Most of the files show the same version number which is what I would expect. Second, the problem. I cannot install kdegraphics3-extra. Yast shows that 3.1-71 is available on the server and not installed on my machine. If I select it for installation (right click and select install), I see the black check mark. When I click accept to install, I get the installation screen for maybe 3 seconds and then Yast exits back to the main Yast Control Center screen. Suggestions?

XF86 4.3.0 antialiasing in kdm
by Daniel Eckl 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Hi list! I rebuilt the src.rpm of Xfree 4.3.0 for my SuSE 7.3 running kde 3.1 After 3 or 4 tweaks, all is running very fine, with one little exception: kdm does not do font antialiasing any more. After logging in, all was great smoothed, only kdm not. I know, it's no problem with the X Server, because I made an xhost +localhost before starting X and when kdm was running, I went back to the terminal screen and started kcontrol as root. Well, becasue kdm has no kwin running, I couldn't move the window and so on, but I could see, what I wanted to know: Kcontrol had all fonts antialiased! I double- and triple-checked all flags that could be involved with aa and couldn't find an error. The xftconfig configuration had to be correct, because kcontrol was antialiased. Th only aa option for only kdm was in kdmrc "AntiAliasing=true". But that was set. Does anyone can give me a hint, what to check next? Thanks, Daniel

program like xearth with kde
by Richard Bos 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Does anyone have success with running a program like xearth in the root window of kde? I've set/checked the option in the "control center" -> desktop behaviour -> "programs in desktop window". If I use this together with e.g. xearth and move an kde window, it is erasing the picture that is drawn by xearth. Can these 2 work toghether? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Konqueror downloading changed
by Stefan Schlörholz 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hello, I almost give up. Since the update to KDE 3.1 I can not download e.g .zip files). When klicking on a Internet link for a .zip-file download Konqueror downloads it into a temp dir and opens it in the browser. When right klicking on the link and select "Save Link as" Konqueror does ask for where to store it and creates a file but the file has nothing to do with the original in terms of size. When I get to a site with automatically starting downloads the Konqueror version before KDE 3.1 asked me where to store it. Now the download starts automatically in a temp dir as discribed above. I have no clue what determines this behaviour and therefore do not know what to tweak. Does anybodey of you have a hint? Stefan

configuration of taskbar lost
by Christoph Dohmen 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Hi Folks, I did a clean install of suse 8.1 last week, and updated immediately to suse packages KDE 3.1 and xfree 4.3. So, something I noticed is, that under certain circumstances, the complete configuration of the taskbar gets lost! In detail, if I leave xosview open at the end of the session, it's not restarted next login, and also the config is lost! More general, if I leave at least one none-kde app open, no none-kde app is started next login and the taskbar-config gets lost! If I only leave kde-apps open at the end of a session, all are restored next login and the taskbar is configured the right way. Is this a bug? Or do I have to include 'none-kde' apps in a config doing the session-management? Chris -- Christoph Dohmen ChDohmen(a)gmx.de

KMix in panel only reacts on every second klick
by Stefan Schlörholz 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

Hello everybody, In my new KDE 3.1 I configured KMix to dock to the panel. From there I formerly (KDE 3.0.4 and before) could change the volume by klicking on it. With the new version of KDE in place KMix's volume control now only open every other mouse klick. I did not find any configuration of that behaviour within KMix. Does anybody know what causes that behaviour and where I can change it back? Regards Stefan

KDE 3.1: Double-click on menu button in titlebar
by Matt Gibson 12 Mar '03

12 Mar '03

I've just gone up to KDE3.1 from 3.0.4. Previously, I could close a window by double-clicking the leftmost button in the titlebar. That doesn't seem to work any more. I've hunted through the configurations, but I can't seem to find a way to turn this behaviour on. Any ideas?

rebuilding qt-3.1.1-55 on SuSE 7.3
by Daniel Eckl 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

mostly @Adrian: I tried to rebuilt the new qt-3.1.1-55 src package from the Xfree 4.3.0 tree for my SuSE 7.3 box. I changed the build script and the spec-file to activate xft support for SuSE <800. But sadly, the fast-malloc patch breaks building. Dropping the patch helps. Is there a better solution than dropping? Building breaks with: kernel/malloc.c: In function `cALLOc': kernel/malloc.c:4274: parse error before `void' kernel/malloc.c:4276: `mem' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/malloc.c:4276: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/malloc.c:4276: for each function it appears in.) kernel/malloc.c:4261: warning: unused parameter `n_elements' kernel/malloc.c:4261: warning: unused parameter `elem_size' kernel/malloc.c:4323: warning: control reaches end of non-void function kernel/malloc.c: In function `calloc': kernel/malloc.c:5678: warning: `m' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c:4269: warning: `d' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c:4266: warning: `p' might be used uninitialized in this function kernel/malloc.c: At top level: kernel/malloc.c:4650: warning: `mSTATs' defined but not used Greets, Daniel

Sprache, Icons Einstellung
by Ronnie Gaensli 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe seit eineiger Zeit eine SuSE 8.1 Prof. Installation laufen, ohne 20 weitere Probleme. Vor einigen Tagen ist mir etwas unerklärliches widerfahren. Nach dem ich einige Programme die auf meiner HD rumliegen ausprobierte, war die Sprache des KDE von Deutsch auf Englisch (bzw. Default) umgestellt, weiter waren die Icons geändert (Von Crystal auf Standard KDE [oder so]). Nun kann ich die Sprache und Icons zwar im KDE Control Center ändern, aber zu keiner änderung. Das letzte Programm das ich vermutlich ausprobiert hatte war Kwatch (Log File überwachung). Bei anderen Benutzern hat sich nichts geändert, und dort kann ich wie zu erwarten die Sprache ändern wenn ich will. Wer weiss Rat? Danke im voraus! R. Gaensli

Re: [suse-kde] libkcm_konq.la...exists but not found

Hi, it looks like I have a quit similar problem on a fresh installed SuSe 8.1: If I click on the virtual deskop icon using the right mouse button and choose "Configure..." I get an error message that says libkcm_konq.la isn't available. After reading all recent suggestions I checked the kde-packages fist (all between 3.1 and 3.0.3, kdecompat isn't instlled). Than I called kconsole from the terminal window and it was working fine. I could make my configurations, but the problem on the icon remains. I also checked that kdebase and kdeaddons3-kicker got updated to 3.1. It seems to me there is somewhere a "link" in the (SuSE?) configuration to the old name (libkcm_konq.la), but I wasn't able to find it. Tilo

Start New Session failed

Hi, as I installed SuSE 8.1, KDE 3 works fine! But, since I use the online update I can't login in a second session! Maybe a KDM update is responsible. So, I loaded down the KDE 3.1 update from the suse ftp-server and installed 3.1. Now it's strange: after I start a new session "focus" switched to F8, but there is not login window only a blue vertical gradient background. Now I switch to F7 and back to F8 and I wonder, there is a login window and the background is the familiar one. How can I cut off this behavior? /var/log/messages says: ... kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized section name [Desktop0] at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:1 kdm_config[2379]: Urecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:866 kdm_config[1741]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:87 after an link from /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc --> /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ... kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'EnableChooser' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:67 kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'LogSource' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:68 kdm_config[2379]: Unrecognized key 'ShowLog' at /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:69 once more: after I login, there is an ugly gray background, sooner there was an red for root or blue background.

SOLVED - missing libkcm_konq.la and YaST (KDE3.1)
by Richard Andrews 08 Mar '03

08 Mar '03

Well, kde 3.1 is finally running on my 8.0 system. I tried all of the things I had seen on this list and thanks to everyone that helped. The solution to my problem turned out to be uninstalling kde3 and then removing the /opt/kde3 and ~/.kde directories before installing the kde3 rpms again. I didn't use the --nodeps option but rather just followed the dependency notifications until I found a package I could install wihout errors and then worked my way back up the dependencies until the whole lot was installed. It wasn@t as bad as it might sound so don't be put off. I guess that is where apt would be a god send - but I couldn't get it running on my system that was getting progressively more and more broken. So, installed all the base packages then the apps, installing the dependant devel packages as I went. Points to note: After deleting /opt/kde3 and ~/.kde (or renaming them at first to be sure everything works) removes all your personalization settings - including address book (D'OH!!!) so back those things up first. After taking this drastic step, be prepared to redo your personal settings. The lost .la files seem to be because the new 3.1 KControl menu structure is different to the 3.05 KControl menu structure eg "Desktop" under "Desktop" which used to throw the lost .la file error is now called "Multiple Desktops" under "Desktop" so I guess that is the problem - left over config files from a previous install?? YaST - I also had the problem that Yast wouldn't start graphically. I solved that after reading a post from February that mentioned installing qt-non-mt . However the post said that qt3 and qt-non-mt weren't compatible. They installed on my system without complaints (ie without --nodeps etc) and the YaST was immediately able to launch. Certainly seemed to not cause any troubles. If anyone can tell me how to get my address book back I'd be very happy :-) Otherwise these tips may help anyone who's at their wits end with the upgrade. But, a I said - it is a bit of a drastic step but not too tragic if you are able to restore your old setups - including app specific configs - from backups. Regards Rich

Fonts in KDE and X-windows.

07 Mar '03

Hello everybody, I am running Version 8.0 (fully updated) with KDE 3.0. My problem is that Greek fonts do not appear in certain areas of my applications (e.g. headers of e-mail messages in KMail). In general (in most areas of my setup: Konqueror, Opera, message bodies in KMail, etc.), Greek fonts are shown correctly. Also, OpenOffice does not display Greek characters (maybe this is off-topic to this mailing list, anyway, I am not sure that I am going to keep this program in my system - I dislike its look & feel...). Does anybody have any quick hints on where to look or how to resolve this?

I want to see exactly what's on the linux screen and interact with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Eric Carbone

error in kdegraphics3.rpm package

If I try to install kdegraphics3.rpm v3.1-91 I get the error message: kdegraphics3-fax needs libkmultipage.so.0 But this file was included in kdegraphics3.rpm v3.0.4 and is available under /opt/kde3/lib I guess the developer forgot to include it because if I force to update rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps kdegraphics3.rpm the file gets removed from /opt/kde3/lib My suggestion for a workaround: - cp /opt/kde3/liblibkmultipage.so.0.0.0 /tmp # make a copy - # update the package using rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps kdegraphics3.rpm - mv /tmp/libkmultipage.so.0.0.0 /opt/kde3/lib - cd /opt/kde3/lib - ln -s libkmultipage.so.0.0.0 libkmultipage.so.0 - ln -s libkmultipage.so.0.0.0 libkmultipage.so Tilo

SuSE menu instead of KMenu... rather not :-(
by Ron Wehrens 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hi, I have the SuSE menu ("Start Applications menu") instead of the KMenu in my Panel, and I'd like to see that the other way around. One of the disadvantages is that I cannot use kmenueditor to change the menu. Adding a new KMenu by right-clicking in the panel does not work, either: it adds a second SuSE menu...

XFree86 4.3 - The Experience
by Joe Sullivan 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

Hey, Most have been having trouble with the XFree86 4.3 RPMs. As did I, but picking at it eventually got it working. And the new changes are very noticeable. System: AMD Duron 800Mhz, Generic Trident video card, Samtron 76E 17" monitor. KDE 3.1 with liquid. All problems I had involved the fonts, as has been noted here. Clean, Helvetica, etc. still don't work actually. But switching these to other working fonts in various places like the control center, Konqueror, etc., took care of that. And the initial install causing no fonts to show on anything and superhuge windows was a bit scary. ;-) That is apparently the only problem I've had, though. Probably because of the generic video card. I highly recommend this upgrade for generic video card users, if you're willing to go through and adjust all your font settings, and have other fonts like Arial and such installed to fall back on. Why? Changes I've noticed: - I can now use 24bit color. (Could only get 16bit with 4.2, 24bit caused white lines and such.) - I can now use 1280x1024 screen size. (4.2 wouldn't handle this, though it worked fine in Win98SE. Max 1024x768 with 4.2) - The new Sax2 actually recognized my Samtron 76E monitor. Had to do a lot of fine tuning to adjust the screen properly before. Default settings for the monitor worked perfectly. Never had an easier time with monitor/resolution settings. - Full screen games and such would seriously mess up the screen when turned off before. Now I can use full screen games without that happening. (Not sure if that was my own fault, and Sax2 recognizing my monitor now set it up properly or what.) - Faster, faster, faster. It seems like all programs are generally running faster. Some slightly noticeable, others... Well, Clanbomber and Pingus didn't work well in 4.2. I can actually play them now. That's a definite improvement. Overall, the experience is just plain breathtaking. :-P Okay, that's exaggerating, but it's very sweeeeeeeeeet. The only problems I have now are just font issues: - Several fonts not working at all (everyone seems to be reporting this). - Can't seem to get KDE help files text to show, not in the Help Center or in KDevelop's user manual... and I've changed all the settings I can find. But it's online so I'm not concerned about it. Everything else is working fine, and as noted above *much* better than before. YMMV. Obviously those with "fancy" graphic cards will have more problems, but since the majority of posts have been negative, I thought I'd chime in with some positive results from 4.3. Of course the whole Font issue is just... someone should have noticed that before publishing the RPMs. But griping over unsupported RPMs is just... eh. Joe

Hi Ian, sorry, that I am answering so late, but you didn't write to the list and your message in my inbox is likely to be overseen. > Have you tried a right mouse button click on the kicker and then selecting > "Add" / "Add Applicaiton Button" and then selecting the menu you want to add > to the kicker? Yes, but I don't want to have just one of the predefined submenus added to the kicker. I want to fully compose my own K-Menu with an individual menu structure as I would prefer it. I was hoping that could be solved by editing an additional K-Menu, but this didn't work as I described. > There are also some settings in the "Appearance/Themes" / "Menu settings" > part of the Control Centre that may help I cannot find such a menu, neither under "Appearance/Themes" nor anywhere else. Do you mean the Menu Editor, reachable via right mouse click onto kicker and then "Configure kicker" leading to a dialog where selecting the rightmost tab shows a button "Edit K-Menu"? (BTW: My translation of menu titles are most likely not identical to the english original. I hope you'll understand me anyhow.) At best I would prefer that I could drag and drop the K-Menu items to my own menu structure. But this would be a suggestion for future KDE versions. Regards, Tom
