I'm lovin' the heck out of 8.2!! It's a DMA problem. Check the setings on your DVD ROM... especially if it's an IDE pretending to be SCSI. I had the same problem under 8.0... -- ___ _ __ Public Key @ www.eon.demon.co.uk/keane.asc / __| ___ __ _ _ _ | |/ /___ __ _ _ _ ___ \__ \/ -_) _` | ' \ | ' </ -_) _` | ' \/ -_) |___/\___\__,_|_||_| |_|\_\___\__,_|_||_\___|

Autostart
by Johannes Rieken 11 May '03

11 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I using SuSE8.1 and KDE3.1. Mostly everything is fine. Regrettably, the Autostart does not work. I just want a program in /usr/local/bin to start when KDE starts. So created a link in ~/.kde/Autostart. The command ps -ef shows the link running but does not. Maybe someone can help me or show me alternatives.

Issue with kdesu?
by Stan Green 11 May '03

11 May '03

After a year with SuSE 7.2 Pro, I have just SuSE 8.1 Pro. I have one issue with the new install. When I start kfmclient with kdeus, I cannot right click on a file and open with kwrite. I get the error: KDEInit could not launch 'kwrite'. If I do an su from a commad line, I get: command not found. If a do a su -m, I can launch kwrite, but not programs that are in /sbin. I think there might be a path issue, but I cannot seem to find where to correct this. Now this all worked fine in 7.2, so I know it can be done. How do I fix this in 8.1? Thanks, Stan Green

kinternet in sys tray

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, previously I've seen kinternet appear in the system tray. Since my last configuration via YaST it runs in a standard applicartion window only. Is there a general way to move an application window into the system tray?

SuSE 8.2 KDE 3 and GNOME 2
by Volker Sturm 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi, ich arbeite eigentlich mit KDE 3 auf SuSE 8.2 Professional. Leider musste ich feststellen, dass (wahrscheinlich) die Verwendung von Ximian Evolution KDE 3 ins Stolpern bringt. Wenn ich Evolution beende, verwandelt sich der KDE-Desktop manchmal in den von Gnome 2. Allerdings nur der Desktop an sich. Die Werkzeugleiste unten ist weiterhin KDE 3. Ein Rechtsklick auf die Arbeitsfläche erzeugt das Gnome-Kontextmenü... Ein Ausloggen und Wiederanmelden behebt dieses Problem. Nach einigen KDE-Sessions öffnen sich jedoch gleich beim Start von KDE hunderte von Nautilus-Fenstern, die das System natürlich auslasten und später (vermutlich) zum Absturz bringen würden. Wenn ich Gnome 2 starte, stelle ich fest, das dort dieses Problem nicht auftritt. Wie KDE auf die Idee kommt, ungefragt den Gnome-Dateimanager massenhaft zu starten, ist mir unklar. Das Problem konnte ich durch einen mv der Verzeichnisse ~/.kde und ~/.kde2 lösen. Allerdings währte die Freude nur etwa 10 KDE-Sessions lang. Dann trat das Nautilus-Problem wieder auf. Wo wäre nun ein guter Ansatzpunkt, konkrete Informationen über die Hintergründe zu bekommen? Bis jetzt konnte ich keine Anomalien in den (verschobenen) .kde*-Verzeichnissen feststellen. Allerdings muss ich sagen, dass ich kein Crack in der Analyse der KDE-Systemdateien bin. Leider machen einen (bis jetzt) vier Semester Informatik nicht gerade schlauer.

"KDM remote shutdown" ändern
by Thorsten Kampe 06 May '03

06 May '03

[SuSE 8.2] Hallo zusammen ich möchte deaktivieren, daß remote über den grafischen Anmeldedialog der Rechner heruntergefahren werden kann. Dazu habe ich in "/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager" 'KDM_SHUTDOWN="local"' gesetzt. Dies hatte keine Wirkung. Dann habe ich im KDE-Kontrollzentrum unter Systemverwaltung > Anmeldungsmanager > Sitzungen > Herunterfahren erlauben/Von Fremdrechner geändert. Dies hatte die erwünschte Wirkung. Kann mir jemand sagen, warum die SuSE-Sysconfig Einstellungen gar keine Wirkung zeigen - höchstens die KDE-Einstellungen? Danke im Voraus, Thorsten

I have downloaded all the available rpms to my local HD. * Hoped I could do the update automagically with Yast..(?) * Tried manually with RPM only to receive lots of failure/dependencies messages.

Making login manager work with grub?
by Lennart Börjeson 06 May '03

06 May '03

Greetings, fellow suse:rs, I've successfully upgraded from SuSE 8.0 to 8.1 and then from KDE 3.0 to 3.1.1. I've successfully switched from lilo to grub. Now, the only remaining issue with all this is that the login manager can't properly select the reboot target (from the restart menu), since it still tries to use lilo for that purpose. I've peeked in kdmrc, but the only properties I can find are lilo-options. Is it possible to make the restart menu wotk with grub, and how, then? -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson ! Partner, Developer !

7.2 QT packages
by Matt Gibson 03 May '03

03 May '03

Hi, Does anyone know why the QT3 rpm for SuSE 7.2 (in supplementary/updates/... on the ftp servers) doesn't have xft configured? That is, it doesn't seem to have support for antialiased fonts. It took me ages to track down where my nice smooth KDE fonts had gone; eventually I just compiled QT from source... As a side-issue, if I've done something like this, i.e. rebuilt QT but am still using the KDE RPMs, does anyone know if there's a way of fudging the RPM database so that it doesn't moan about QT being missing? You know, something that'll tell rpm,"look, it's all right, I've built something that's exactly compatible with this missing RPM, so please stop whining..." Cheers, Matt -- "It's the small gaps between the rain that count, and learning how to live amongst them." -- Jeff Noon

Re: UPDATE [suse-kde] Multiple Monitor Problems after KDE 3.1.1 Upgrade

Hi all I have just found that this error only occurs when opening Konqueror from a icon on the taskbar, menu or desktop, if I open it from a bookmark or url link on either two of the secondary monitors, it opens on the screen it was selected from.

Can't start konqueror from user account.
by Curtis Rey 02 May '03

02 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just had kde take a burp on me. When I try to execute the Konqueror symlink/icon for the kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing it won't execute. The app tray shows it with a spinning hourglass. When I execute the following command from the console I get this: crrey@Crusher-1:~> kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing ERROR: Couldn't start konqueror from konqueror.desktop: KDEInit could not launch 'kfmexec' However, in the root kde account I have no problem getting it to execute using the icon/shortcut symlinks. Likewise, in either kde account I can alt+F2 and enter a URL and then it comes up. Running the following querry for the permission sets of kfmexec returns the following: crrey@Crusher-1:~> la /opt/kde3/share/applnk/konqueror.desktop - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3415 2003-01-16 12:40 /opt/kde3/share/applnk/konqueror.desktop I have gone to telinit 3 and clear the /tmp file, and I have also rm'ed the .mcop, .mcoprc. and the tmp-Crusher-1 and sockets-Crusher-1. This would usually clear and confounding files and presents now change. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this occurred and how to correct it.
