> rpm -Fhv --force --nodeps *.rpm > > Jeff Ivins > Thanks ... I found a way, how to do it with YAST..it's very simple and nice... 1. add new Instalation Source (example: ftp://ftp.suse.sk/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source) and this will automaticly detect new updates for KDE... 2. just turn on Instal / remove software ..and new updates will be available that's all...

mozilla-like tabbed browsing in Konqui
by Ernesto Marquina 26 May '03

26 May '03

Hello all, I was wondering if there is a way to configure the Konqueror tabbed browser, so I can close a tab without having to right click on each tab or press CTRL+W?. Also...it seems that the only way to load a web page on a new tab is if it's already linked on a previous page and right click selecting "open in new tab". What if I need to load a different URL?, the only option I see is to press CTRL+SHIFT+N or right click on the tab-bar (where all the tabs are visible). I like the mozilla approach, to create a new tab, you can do the shortcut key, or go to the most logical place "File/New Tab", or better then, there is a small button that is used to create a new tab, very handy. Same thing if you want to close a tab, there is an X button at the right side of the browser to close the current tab. I've been trying to navigate through all Konqueror options but haven't seen any to have control over tabs. Am I missing something? or are those features not available yet? Thanks :) Ernesto

DPMS screen saver on SuSE 8.2
by Fulup Ar Foll 25 May '03

25 May '03

Question: Since I move to SuSE 8.2 my screen does not enter in Power-Save mode anymore, To me more accurate it enters in Power-Save but exit this mode every 60 seconds for half a second, which is probably the best way kill a screen !!! Checking for "xset" options with "xset -q" I found out that both "DPMS" and ScreenSaver option was set, it this normal ? extract from (xset -a) ---------------------------- Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 HOTFIX, remove xset save screen option and only validate dpms. xset -s 0 0; xset +dpms; xset dpms 600 600 0 How to reproduce set your DPMS timeout to a very short value, either from KDE menu or from a shell example "xset +dpms; xset dpms 10 15 0" In my case the screen is blank after 10s and enter in power-save more in 15s, but it wakes up after 60s, and this until I change xset screen-save value with "xset s 0 0". Question: 1) Can someone explain me what is this "Cycle" in the xset option ? 2) Did someone else already face this problem, did I made a error somewhere else ? Note: I installed SuSE 8.2 on more than one computer and only find out the problem when using a Nvidia GForce-4 graphic board, I also only see the error when running X11 but the error is present with KDE and in Failsafe mode.

Keyboard modification (mapping ñ to alt-gr+n) on SuSE 8.2
by Fulup Ar Foll 25 May '03

25 May '03

Keyboard mapping changed from 8.0 to 8.2 In 8.0 to map "ñ" to Alt-gr+n using xmodmap was enough xmodmap -e "keysym n = n N ñ Ñ" In 8.2 I had to hack the /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/fr and add following line key <AB06> { ^n, N, ntidle, Ntilde ] }; Question: Is their a way to hack the 8.2 for getting "ñ" that would be: - independent of the keyboard layout - could this patch be attached to a user config and not the host X11 config Thank you Fulup PS: I need "ñ" because Breton language use it.

Konq Tabs
by David Herman 24 May '03

24 May '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there a method to configure the tabs (tabbed web browsing) in Konqueror so that they appear on the left side (or right or bottom) rather than accross the top? I keep alot of tabs/pages open and it would be more convenient (allow more tabs to be viewed at once) if they were on the side.

upgrading 8.1 laptop to 3.1.2 for vncserver-ing
by David T-G 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hi, all -- [I've read the FAQ and see that SuSE does not maintain searchable list archives, and that makes sense since there are other places for that. Is there anywhere where I can pull down posts in original format, however, as is common on many mailman lists?] I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 laptop with a fairly fresh 8.1 install with KDE 3.0.5, and most things are great (and those that aren't don't really have to do with KDE :-) I see, though, that KDE 3.1 includes vncserver support so that I can use vncviewer to get to my running KDE desktop, which is something I've wanted for a long time. I also see that ftp.suse.com has 3.1.2 RPMs loaded up, so I'm ready to go! I usually use Y.O.U. to keep my system up to date, but that doesn't seem to include the supplementary packages, the "Yast2 can do that automatically" answer from support@ notwithstanding. That's fine; I can pull it down and install it myself. Unfortunately, the amount of space involved is quite nontrivial. I've gotten the applications, base, development, experimental, and int'l dirs of RPMs and shoehorned them here and there on the box, but I'm out of room for sources (but should those be needed for a straight rpm install?). What do I need to have on hand to do the upgrade, and what pieces do I need to install for it -- particularly to get the vncserver functionality? [I really only use KDE as a multiple-desktop window manager and rarely use the menuing system or the office tools, preferring to do the sorts of things I do from an xterm command line); the only thing I *might* bring into play is a palm pilot synchronizer.] If it's possible to only upgrade one piece, that would be of interest. Then, again, I also don't mind uninstalling all of the 3.0.5 RPMs to ensure that I have free space on the drive (currently about 250M of 4.1G free with 3.0.5 installed as from the DVD) if it comes to that. Once I have the right pieces on hand, then what do I need to do? Are there upgrade instructions anywhere?
