Kate
by Tomas Willebrand 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

Hi! I have begun to use Kate now and then. There are a lot of features that I like. However, it is impossible to change the spell check language once Kate is started even if I change it in Kspell (control centre). Also I can't use F7 to open/close the Konsole (terminal window), what is more annoying is that when I copy something in Kate (Ctrl-C) and move to the terminal window the Shift-Ins put the copy where the cursor was in Kate (terminal is active with blinking cursor). Using the mouse-menu and insert will work though! I have checked KDE-Kate-KWrite pages and mail achieves but can't get any help. Spell checking problems and F7 problem seem to have been reported as bug but should be fixed? Is this a problem only in SuSE? I have, despite extensive search, not found much written material on Kate either so any help would be much appreciated. Yours Sincerely /Tomas SuSE 8.1, KDE 3.1.1

Hi! Is there a way to switch off the display of the working directory in a shell prompt? My dir structure has lotsa sub-dirs and after a while one line is completely occupied by the dir prompt only... Thanks HG

RE: [suse-kde] Background problem after disabling icons

As an alternative to disabling the icons, just delete them. To get rid of the trash can you will have to change its path. I did this by moving the trash folder from the desktop to my home directory. Hope that helps, Stu Gillis -----Original Message----- From: Kaustuv moni Basu [mailto:kaustuv@MPA-Garching.MPG.DE] Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2003 10:30 AM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] Background problem after disabling icons Hi all, I'm a newcomer here, so I don't know whether this problem has already been discussed before. Recently I installed SuSE 8.1 Professional (KDE 3.0.3) on my Toshiba laptop, and was trying to configure it. I wanted my screen to be free of all icons, so I disabled the checkbox through KDE Control Center -> Look & Feel -> Desktop -> Behavior -> (disable icons). But this prevents the background image to load properly when I change the desktops. To be precise, when I switch from one desktop to another (I have 4), the background image created by using a specific wallpaper for that desktop does not load. Often this wallpaper image lies hidden only UNDER an application window or the KDE toolbar at the bottom, and this ruins the background completely after switching between desktops several times. However, this problem disappears like a charm when I enable the icons back again onto my screen. Perhaps somebody faced similar problem and knows how to fix it?

Konqueror crashes frequently, Kmozilla doesn't work.
by Sebastian Scherer 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi, I upgraded the KDE installation in SuSE 8.0 to KDE 3.1.1, because Konqueror crashes pretty frequent, but it didn't fix the problem. Does anybody else have frequent crashes? Also I can't get KMozilla to work. When I enable it in Konqueror it puts the status bar in the middle, but doesn't do anything. Thank you Sebastian

Hi, Does anyone know if Kfax works properly in SuSE8.2 or has it got the same bug that is in KDE3.1 which means you can't print, view other pages etc. Thanks, Jethro

[suse-kde] KMail 1.5.1 and Fixed Font => more problems...
by Markus Kohli 24 Apr '03

24 Apr '03

Hi List I have/had the following problem: When I switched to fixed-font view with the key 'X', KMail didn't show the mails with fixed font width, but there was no font at all (just plain white space). I've changed the font in the control panel for fixed widht font from Fixed[Sony] to Clean, and KMail now shows the Text. BUT: Opera 7.1 (b) doesn't show any fonts anymore since then... Switching back to the Fixed[Sony] font doesn't do any good, just can't get Opera to display that fonts anymore... I have included a screenshot of the Opera startupscreen... Does anyone know that problem? TIA Markus -- My doctor says my blood type is C double-positive.

Geordon, The way I get this to work is to go to YaST2->System Settings-> Editor for sysconfig files. From where go to Desktop -> DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE ACCESS. Change this to yes and click finish. Next logout of kde. Go to one of the text terminals and logon as root. Type init 3 then init 5. This works for me everytime. I got this method from the SuSE help DB.

RE: [suse-kde] diff. fonts on diff. machines

Hi Andre, I had a similar experience. Check Control->Appearance & Themes->Fonts. After my install the fonts were all set to 6 pt. I changed them to 9 or 10 and everything looks great now. Stu -----Original Message----- From: Andre Stephan [mailto:stephan.andre@gmx.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2003 5:42 AM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: [suse-kde] diff. fonts on diff. machines hello, i have installed the new suse linux 8.2 on two different machines, but graphicscard and monitor are exactly the same. One difference during the installation was, that i have choosen on one machine to install the packagegroup "all of kde". On the other machine the fonst are o.k. (in the menus of apps and the kmenu), but on the other machine (which has installed all of kde) the fonts looks not very nice, because the are very small. Why??? I have installed both machines and then logged in to kde and had not changed anything. So i thought a should have the same look at both machines. Or is it every time a difference on every machine??? Or is it in case of the package selctions??? Can someone tell me that??? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
