Hi, I am looking for a little tool which is siting in the panel (near the clock). I should be able to add eg 4 IPs and this tool will check them every x seconds, if they are reachable make a part of the icon green, else red. A kind of ping with a KDE frontend. I already asked google, but I havent found anything! Thx Markus PS: I am using SuSE 7.3 with KDE 2.2.2.

Re: [suse-kde] Early experience with KDE 3.1.2 from SuSE RPMs from KDE web site

Hi all, A quick update. It turns out I did need to update qt3* from http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/kde/stable/3.1.2/SuSE/ without the update I experienced disappearing vertical scrollbars. See KDE bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55848 I am still seeing what seems to be an unrelated problem - kdeinit occasionally takes up over 80% CPU when preloading I don't know how to reproduce this, so I'll let it go a day or two before filing a bug report. Best regards

Re: [suse-kde] customizing KDE menu (closed)
by Kay Zumbusch 20 May '03

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. Thanks for your help.

The later qt which came with kde3.1.1 from suse was apparently not the right one for XFree 4.3. Also it might help to delete the .font.cache file in your home directory. HTH, Matt

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
