Problem: connect kea x to kde
by Frieder Bechtel 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hi! I have a problem connecting remotely to a xserver. I have to equally installed Suse Linux 8.0 machines, only the hardware differs a little bit, but not that much, they are both server machines, from 1999 and 2002. I use Attachmate KEA! X 4.10 to connect from my Windows XP machine remotly to both of the xservers. On the one machine (the newer one) it works without problems, but on the other machine I only get after loggin in only a bash. When I start with ".xsession" the x-server, it comes up, with lots of errors, but I didn't find anything that didn't work. KDE is running locally without any problem. How can I make the machine switch to the graphical KDE design without having to start it with .xsession? Below I attached the error reports. I found two topics in the sdb.suse.com database (correcting /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup and /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager without access. I would be a great pleasure if anybody could help me!

only truetype fonts selectable
by Christoph Dohmen 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hi folks, this time in english ;-)) Sorry for the last post in german! Well, I have a small problem with SuSE 8.2 and the original KDE. I did a plain new install. After I activated truetype fonts in KDE-controll-center, I was not able to select any other font! The look of those aa-truetypes is very nice, but I can't select any 'Adobe *'! But this is only in KDE! If I start xfontsel, everything is fine!!! What do I have to do to reach _all_ fonts in KDE??? Chris -- Christoph Dohmen ChDohmen(a)gmx.de

Monitor-Standby und Font-Problem mit SuSE 8.2 und KDE
by Sven Wenzel 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hallo allerseits, ich habe hier ein kleines Problem. Trotz Power-Saving-Einstellungen im ControlCenter schaltet sich mein Monitor (TFT, Samsung Samtron 71S) leider nicht aus. :-( Das war schon unter SuSE 8.1 der Fall. Jetzt habe ich auf 8.2 geupdated und mir erhofft, dass es nun klappt. Fehlanzeige! Also, habe ich meinen Monitor mit Yast nochmal neu konfigurieren wollen. Da fiel mir auf, dass der dort als VESA 800x600 eingestellt war. Und das obwohl er mir immer ein klares 1280x1024-Bild liefert. Naja, ich dachte mir dann, da mal den korrekten Wert einzustellen. (LCD 1280x1024@60Hz) Leider mit mehr negativen Nachfolgen als positiven: StandBy geht immer noch nicht! Das hatte ich von einer Änderung der Auflösung aber auch nicht erwartet. Aber: Meine Fonts erschlagen mich jetzt! Alle Schriften sind total groß. Ich habe im ControlCenter jetzt alle Schriften auf Größe 8 gestellt, damit ich wenigstens einigermaßen Text auf den Schirm bekomme. Der Login-Screen ist immernoch total riesig! Kann mir irgendjemand erklären, wie ich erstens wieder ein normales Schriftbild hinbekomme? Und zweitens, wie ich evtl. die StandBy-Funktion meines TFT ans Laufen kriege? Besten Dank vorab, Sven

Re: [suse-kde] KOffice-1.2.1
by Jim MacLeod 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

OK guys, this is where my learning curve goes vertical !! Did rpm..--test on KOffice and it said nothing about KDE3.1 - besides Office is dated Dec02 and I thought 3.1 didnt come out till Jan03 so confusion reins. However I've been downloading (via win98, but that's another story) 3.1.1 so I rpm --test'ed QT3.1 and kdelibs3.1 which each depended on the other so I presumed (fatal) that I had to force libs3 upgrade and then add base3, qt3 etc which I did as root in failsafe - result - crashed completely after libs3.1 ie I'm back to 98 to write this. Rant - while not entirely KDE specific - I used SuSE because I thought it would be safe for a newbie!!. Kspread, crashes on cell formatting (but I've found work-arounds). Koncd - SIG11's on every option except setup (do SuSE actually check prgs run before they issue cds)? - back-ups have been done to floppies!!! KOffice - as above - do a SuSE upgrade and lost all my bank data in Kspread - until recently I duplicated everything in 98, foolishly I had stopped. Konqueror - never got acceptable download speeds - using win98 I downloaded KOffice 10.5Mb in about 1hr, lucky to get 300b/sec from Konq because of the amount of stalled time, eg receive 1500bytes, stall for 5secs, receive 500, stall again etc. I dont like 98, even less XP (not that I've used it yet) it's big bloated and full of stuff I'm not interested in but I have to admit at least it works - and I'm the wrong side of 50 so time is not unlimited. I want to use/understand the basics of Linux because I like the idea of having some control over the system, not being told what I need, but at this moment there's an awful temptation to throw in the towel. So. it's back to PQmagic, wipe the partitions clean and start over - or maybe wait till SuSE 8.2 is out later this month. Apologies to each and all for my moans Jim

delay using arts driver
by Stefan Schlörholz 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hello everybody, to play mp3 files I use xmms 1.2.5 on my system (SuSE 7.3 KDE 3.1). When using the arts driver (from SuSE's xmms-kde rpm package) I get a delay between what I see animated in the xmms window and what I hear. The visual effect comes first, some ms (I guess 300 to 500) ahead of the sound. When switching to the OSS driver visual and sound are in phase. I would like to use the arts driver rather than the OSS driver since the arts driver blocks the OSS driver for some time after having been active. Can anybody help here? cu Stefan

Kopete frisst Ressourcen
by Sven Wenzel 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Hallo allerseits, also ich muss sagen, Kopete hat sich ja ganz schön gemacht: Von der Version die bei SuSE 8.1 dabei lag und die jetzige von SuSE 8.2! ABER: Die neue Version unter SuSE 8.2 (0.6.1a) frisst enorme Ressourcen. Kopete frisst permanent 40-90% meiner CPU-Zeit! :-( Das kann doch nicht Sinn und Zweck der Sache sein. Wenn ich ihn zwischendurch mal abschieße und neu starte ist er wieder ziemlich ruhig und bescheiden. Ich habe keine Ahnung was er da tut! Am Update von 8.1 auf 8.2 dürfte das doch eigentlich nicht liegen, oder? Danke vorab, Sven

Using SuSE 8.0 with KDE3.0.5 and just upgraded KOffice using the rpm from KDE and run /sbin/SuSEconfig. However now none of the progs run and when run from console most show the same = relocation error : /opt/kde/lib/libkofficecore.so.2: undefined symbol static_QUType_varptr. Updated libart_lgpl to 2.3.10-92 but that hasnt helped. Still a relative newbie so help or directions would be much appreciated Jim MacLeod

kernel
by Hal Keene 06 Apr '03

06 Apr '03

I have down-loaded three kernel update files. In which order do I install them. The three are 1)kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-115.nosrc.rpm at 10.7 MB, 2) kernel-source 2.4.19 SuSE-115.i86.patch.rpm at 5.56 MB, And 3) kernel source.rpm at 32.9 MB. I plan to burn these to a CD and do the upgrade through YaST. Possible? Can anyone sorta give me an ABC on doing this? The kernel I have on my system that came with SuSE 8.1 is 2.4.19-4GB. I would upgrade through "YOU" but I do not have an internet connection yet. I am told this original version has problems with multiple IDE and raid devices. Thanks in advance, Hal Keene

Re:[suse-kde] Dial-up settings
by Jim MacLeod 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Apologies if I'm going over an old (though I'm a newbie) problem but it's become a real pain. Download speeds using Konqueror on a dial-up connection have never been better than 300b/sec whereas using Win98 (sorry) I can expect at least 2.5k/sec unless things are really busy. Trying to do a Yast update of 5.8Mb I gave up after 2.5 hours and I hadn't even got the first package downloaded. I hate to admit that I've used 98 to download most of the files for KDE3.1!! Changed mtu and mru in ppp/options file settings to 276 (believe these to be appropriate for dial-up) but when I connect it gets reset to 1500. Any help in tweaking settings so that I can get reasonable dowloads would be much appreciated. Thanks (and apologies again if I'm raising an old topic) Jim MacLeod

Hi I installed SuSE 8.2 Pro with KDE3.1.1 . I have a modem (elsa fun serial) to connect to the internet; during the instalation the modem was detected and I could configure my providers and even do a first update. After rebooting when I start to dial using kinternet a bubble appears around the icon and this is it!Using wvdial I can connect without problems to internet, so I think is not a configuration problem of the providers. Could somebody help, or give me a clue?

Again: Xfree86 4.3.0 with font problems

04 Apr '03

Hi, I tried out some things to get fonts working again. One of it has been updating to freetype2-2.1.4rc2 and rebuilding all font caches. Now I can see some of the fonts that where invisible before. But some (especially Fixed Fonts) are now invisible. I have SuSE 8.1, XFree86-4.3.0-17, KDE3.1.1-33. Does anyone have a 'working' combination with XFree86 and KDE 3.1.1 ? What software versions do you have. Can you display www.winehq.org (I can not see the normal text here at the moment, no matter which freetype2 version). Please help me out. Regards, Tim Ruehsen

konqueror after upgrade

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?

[suse-kde] New Kmail and subfolder problem
by Franklin Maurer 03 Apr '03

03 Apr '03

Last week(?) there was a problem with the kdenetwork3-mail 3.1.1-35 and the fact that new folders could only belong to the "top level". I just ran apt-get / synaptic and there is a -47 version which seems to have fixed the problem. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. Kmail is the first app I've opened since this mini kde upgrade so I'm not sure if any new problems will rear their ugly heads, but I'll let you know if I find any. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1
