How do I fix clock applet?

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: KDE clock applet acting crazy and driving me nuts Date: Tuesday 27 May 2003 06:15 pm From: bespincity(a)citlink.net To: suse-kde(a)suse.com 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.

Re: [suse-kde] FTP as install source fails SuSE 8.2
by Richard Andrews 28 May '03

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 On Tuesday 27 May 2003 22:01, Jeffrey Ivins wrote: > I would suggest you find the IP number of the FTP server..

Upgrade to KDE 3.1.2 lock ups
by NeoFax 28 May '03

28 May '03

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? NeoFax

Re: update KDE3.1.2
by Tomas Willebrand 27 May '03

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. /Tomas

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
