apps missing after update to 3.1
by Hans-Georg Lerdo 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hi guys! What could be the reason for applications, that are supposed to be there (kaddressbook) since their libs are installed (kdelibs3), not to be there? kdelibs rpm's fine without errors and all, but the addressbook is not there. Not only that, my address files are gone, too... (thanks for backups! but there is still work involved to bring potential new files up to date...) What am I obviously missing?? Thanks HG

(forw) Re: [SLE] XFree86 4.3.0

This was sent to the SLE. Some of you may not be on that list. I know that 3D has been discussed here as well. I was unaware that DRI (3D) required the 2.4.20 kernel in order to work with XFree86 4.3.0. ----- Forwarded message from Tom Wesley <tawesley(a)yahoo.com> ----- Message-Id: <200303041830.33953.tawesley(a)yahoo.com> From: Tom Wesley <tawesley(a)yahoo.com> Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2003 18:30:33 +0000 To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] XFree86 4.3.0 Reply-To:suse-linux-e@suse.com User-Agent: KMail/1.5 Content-Description: signed data On Tuesday 04 March 2003 17:45, Rick Friedman wrote: > I have one question... > > if XFree86 4.3 has been released as RPMs for SuSE 8.1, where are they?? > They don't show up in YOU.

You need to update your sources.list file, then it's all there, notice it requires a dist-upgrade and the new 2.4.20 kernel for DRI.

KView Missing
by Bill Hogsett 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am using SuSE 8.1 Pro and KDE 3.1. KView doesn't appear to be installed. When run from the menu nothing. Looking in the KDE app directory KView is missing. What should be installed to include KView?

[suse-kde] libkcm_konq.la...exists but not found
by Richard Andrews 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Having now grepped my entire linux installation I cannot find any traces of libkcm-XXX anywhere. The only entries to appear in the search were libkcm_liquid.la libkcm_liquid.so libkcm_susesearch.la libkcm_susesearch.so libkcm_yast2.la libkcm_yast2.so libkcm_cdbosettings.la libkcm_cdbosettings.so libkcm_hardware.la libkcm_hardware.so libkcm_kgamma.la libkcm_kgamma.so libkcm_kuick.la libkcm_kuick.so libkcm_kwix.la libkcm_kwix.so After reading another thread that suggested loading kdebase (not kdebase3) I tried it only to find that the error message didn't appear but Control Center seg-faulted and crashed. So there really is no copies of the missing libkcm files on the HD. Which packages do I need to get them? None of the KDE3 rpms seem to have them... Thanks Rich

RE: [suse-kde] Error on startup - KDE

I e-mailed the programmer of my Java based FTP software and here is a summary of his reply to me: "If you were to set CrushFTP to launch during startup by a process owned by root...then you would be fine. Or, if you had another application owned by root that could kick off CrushFTP (like maybe Cron or something) it also wouldn't be an issue. However, the java code cannot do this itself." So can someone help me with this? How exactly would I get CrushFTP to launch by a process 'owned by root' or have something owned by root start it for me? - Eric One last question ... I know this is a KDE forum, but if I switched to Gnome would I be able to accomplish the same thing?

fonts in kde3.1
by oldkerosen 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hello After upgrading to Xfree4.3.0 (SuSE 8.1) some of the applications in KDE3.1 ( krusader, etc) does not display any fonts anymore. Also konqueror is not able to show the homepage from suse. I performed "fonts-config -f" but this did not solve the problem. Could you give me an advice, please?

Login Mananger
by Bill Hogsett 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am riunning SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1. The login manager doesn't appear to be working properly. If I change most configurations in the login manager the changes do not take effect. For example, if I select the logo rather the clock for kdm, the change has no effect. However, I can change the background colors or use an image. Changes to the user defaults do not work. Any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks for your help. I'll cross my fingers and ask my client to try logging in again.

Re: [suse-kde] SuSE Menue into kicker of KDE 3.1?
by Thomas Michalka 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

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
