Hi there. The tip that the shown menu is the SuSE menu helped. Unfortunately the menu is sorted by the file name of the link. It will take sometime to get the menu into the order I like it.

konqueror display a local file instead of the original target
by Fabio De Francesco 20 May '03

20 May '03

When I click on a URL to be opened by konqueror (for example in the body of a e-mail), it seems to download the original target to the local directory '/root/.kde/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp/' and then it displays from here. In fact this is what I can see on the 'Location bar': file:/root/.kde/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp/30092.0 instead of http://www.google.it. Does someone know how to modify this strange behaviour? Thank you in advance. Fabio De Francesco.

Early experience with KDE 3.1.2 from SuSE RPMs from KDE web site
by Paul Leopardi 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi all, I started with a SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional Update system, installed as an update to SuSE 8.1. I downloaded and installed KDE 3.1.2 from SuSE 8.2 RPMs from the KDE mirror web site http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/kde/stable/3.1.2/SuSE/ The files I downloaded were: noarch/kde3-i18n-en_GB-3.1.2-0.noarch.rpm ix86/8.2/arts*.rpm ix86/8.2/kde*.rpm ix86/8.2/quanta*.rpm I looked at ix86/8.2/lib*.rpm and the libart* and libxslt* files were older versions than the ones I already had. Also, I already had slightly older qt3*, so I decided to download these later if it turns out to be necessary. I logged in as root, ran init 3 and then rpm -Uvh *.rpm resulted in multiple clashes with ktamago, so I uninstalled ktamago: rpm -e ktamago and then rpm -Uvh *.rpm ran without problems. Running init 5 gave me the KDM login prompt, which looked unchanged. I'll check the kdm configuration next. So far, KDE 3.1.2 seems to be running OK. I will need to check kghostview. Best regards

Bad signatures in XFree86 4.3.0
by Filip Pistovcak 19 May '03

Hi, I'm am newbie with SuSE 8.0. I downloaded KDE 3.1.1 and XFree86 4.3.0 as rpm-files from ftp.suse.com <ftp://ftp.suse.com/> and somehow installed it. Unfortunately too late, I read that it is possible to check the internal signature with rpm -checksig *.rpm The KDE files were OK, but XFree86 4.3.0 files failed. Did anybody notice it too?

KDE 3.1.1 Konsole displays empty window
by eimann＠informatik.uni-bonn.de 19 May '03

19 May '03

Hi, I've got two machines with a SuSE 8.1 distribution installed. The distribution was shipped with KDE 3.0.3 and XFree 4.2.0. I've updated both machines with XFree 4.3.0 (rpms provided by SuSE) and KDE 3.1.1 (rpms privided by SuSE as well)... On bot boxes /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts hung for ages, so that I had to terminate the fc-cache process manually. This resulted in no longer being able to login with KDM. The screen showed the usual Xfree background with the mouse cursor as watch-symbol and kdm_greeter took 99% CPU-load. I've solved this problem, too, by deleting the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*/fonts.cache-1.gz files and running /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts again (this time without problems). Now I can log in again, but certain fonts have vanished: opening a konsole window brings up an empty window,for example, at least, when I use the default fonts (small, medium, large, huge...). The cursor moves when I type, so I suppose it's just a fonts problem... sax2 has no fonts either. Can anybody help me with this? Didi anyone solve the problem before? Cheers, Raimund

customizing KDE menu
by Kay Zumbusch 18 May '03

18 May '03

Hi there. I'm using KDE 3.0 on my SuSE 8.1 system. I just installed a development IDE and some other software on it and tried to show links to these apps in my KDE menus. The new entries are shown in the KDE menu editor (as root user) but they do not appear in the menus. My KDE menu editor shows a lot more entries then the menu shows. Are the links shown in the menu and in the menu editor stored in different locations? I already tried to copy the created links (I found them in /root/.kde/share/applnk) to /opt/kde3/share/applnk and restarted KDE. But nothing helped a bit. What do I have to do to make my new entries visible in the menu? Where is the menu layout stored on the hard disk? Can anyone please help me? I hate to continue starting my programs via a shell or via the "execute" menu item. And I don't want to have lots of icons on my desktop. Thx in advance. Kind regards Kay Zumbusch

When I attempt to configure sync options in KPilot, all options except "sync files" are greyed out. I have deleted the kpilotrc file to force a force setup, but that doesn't help. KPilot 4.3.9 KDE 3.1.1 All are latest RPMs from SuSE. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

KMail and Spam

Is there a spam filter I can integrate into my KMail client? I am using KMail to directly receive mails from my pop3 server (couldn't get the combination with postfix and fetchmail to work according to the SuSE SDB description, but that's another story). Maybe Spamassassin? Kostas

RE: [suse-kde] imap server

Himba I'm guessing this is probably something to do with the fact that the imapd in 8.2 is now using imaps.

local LAN browser in konqueror
by himba 12 May '03

12 May '03

Hello I'm using Suse 8.2 distribution, and I must say that it has some great capabilities in contrast to RH8.0 I used previously. I have few minor problems, though. In konqueror I can't access local network with lan://localhost/. I get blank right panel, no error, no shares. I used to get FISH and SMB for shares, and clicking on FISH would take me to my home dir (being shared with samba2.2.7), clicking on SMB would result in an error stating - "This is a KDE bug..." If I manually enter hostname eg. lan://some_hostname/, i get list of shares, on that host, so I would need to manually enter every hostname on the LAN to access it. Is there a solution to this? regards ,himba

fonts in gtk2 applications
by ovidiu pascui 12 May '03

12 May '03

Hi there I have SuSE 8.2 Pro under KDE 3.1.1 running the default keramik style and gtk and gtk2 applications running the geramik theme. When I start an application based on gtk2 (gaim-0.62, etc.) under KDE the fonts are very ugly (I use default sans fonts under gnome2 and the "apply fonts&colors to non-kde appplications" is checked. Now if is start the gnome controlcenter and click the font box all gtk2 applications which are running get their correct fonts. Second problem related to gtk2: I want to compile some programs based on gtk2 but running "./configure" fails saying that gtk2+ libraries are not installed. I installed all the packages available for gnome from the CD's and everything else that contained gtk but I still get the same error. Could somebody help, please!

From Header in kde-mail
by Renatus Lütticken 11 May '03

11 May '03

Hallo, in yast my FROM Header is renatus.luetticken(a)epost.de my linux machine has the hostname re now, when I send e-mails out of k-mail, the mails automatically get a "double"header: re@renatus.luetticken@epost.de Some mailsystems do not accept e-mails, when the FROM-Headers are syntactically wrong. So the mail is sent back to me, but I recieve it on the root-account, so it took a long time until I notoced it,- and for many months I had no idea that my e-mails did not arrive. This does not occur when I use pine on the console,- it must be a problem with k-mail. My question: I must have a wrong entry in some place. Where do I have to search for it? All the obvious places I checked without finding the mistake. Thanks, Renatus Luetticken
