I have a dual screen setup without Xinerama. I have sound working on Screen
1 but not Screen 2. Is there anyway to fix this? Is it a ARTS problem?

Subject: KDE clock applet acting crazy and driving me nuts

Greetings, I recently installed SuSE 8.2 and I am having a preplexing
problem with the popular KDE clock applet. There is a major problem with it
keeping the proper time that appears to have something to do with timezones.
Everytime I reset the clock the to the correct time it seems to have a mind
of its own and jumps ahead like 19 hours. To some other time zone? I have a
dual boot system and have the system clock set to local time rather than UTC
to avoid problems so UTC can't be the problem.
It should be noted that when I run other clock apps, or when I open Yast to
set the time and date or log in as root, the time is correctly displayed
while it is
incorrectly displayed on the kde clock applet (by the way does anyone know
the name of this applet?) I have checked the time zone settings over and over
in the clock applet setup and they are correct. I also removed all the
additional checked timezones in this programs zone chooser ... which I guess
is new with KDE 3.1.1 and I dont really understand the need for all the other
timezones in its context menu (right click.)
It seems to me, because the clocks time is off in units of hours and not
minutes too, that this is some sort of timezone conflict problem. Also when
I right click clock applet, then select show timezones, then click configure
timezones, and just press the apply button without even changing the time
zone the clock chages by jumping ahead so many hours or some amount of hours
back. What is going on. Please sages here, I need your advice.
Cheers

Hi Jeff,
thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately the IP address made no
difference. Could it be that the FTP update route is only available for the
actual original setup of SuSE since the error below seems to point to the
absence of some Install Src record in the FTP directory.
Perhaps FTP alternative sources for updates aren't available for DVD/CD
installed versions of SuSE??
For info I tried the following entries in the YaST dialog for alternative
installation source...
Server name: ftp.suse.sk (as well as 147.175.1.23)
Directory: i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source
(with various combinations of leading trailing slashes etc.)
All ended up with the same error message :-(
Regards
Rich

I updated KDE using SuSE's Supllementary RPMS. Now, I have been having
problems with Kmail and Konqueror locking up. Is there any way to fix this
problem? Do I need to rpm -e --force the base KDE
rpms(kdelibs,kdebase,kdenetwork...) and then reinstall them?

Hi!
I have installed SuSE8.2 from a local ftp-server on two machines. It works
great as long as RAM is not tiny (<50 MB I believe).
I have used apt4rpm and synaptic to update KDE earlier. I saw Julius tip on
using YAST. I had some trouble at first but then put the KDE-server before
the server I used in the original installation in the yast-list. Now is seem
to work just fine.

Hm, I don't know where is the problem... I did it this way, and I have to say,
it's very comfortable.

I get the following error message on boot-up :
Unrecognized section name Desktop0 @
/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:1
It doesn't stop KDE running but I'd like to correct it. Could someone tell me
what the proper section name is so I can edit it.
Thanks
Jim MacLeod
