DCOP-Server could not be started
by Sebastian Wolff 17 Jun '03

Hi all! A few days ago I possibly made a big mistake - and now I don't know how to solve it. I'm running SuSE 8.1 (i386) with updated KDE 3.1.1 rpms. I tried out a patch to give KWin window shadows that implied to compile the KWin module of the kdebase package. So I downloaded kdebase3-3.1.1 sources and compiled kwin. It seemed that kwin was not compatible with other components. It did not start. Compiling the whole kdebase package and running "make install" seemed for me to be right. After that kdeinit aborted during the first phase of the splashscreen ("setting up interprocess commmunication...") giving the error "DCOP Server could not be started). So I run "make uninstall": no change. I reinstalled the kdebase packages: no change. I updated to KDE 3.1.2: no change: "DCOP server could not be started" If I call a KApp from xterm it says: ====================================== DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket Could not dlopen library dcopserver.la: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc dcopserver: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket kio (KSycoca): Trying to open ksycoca from /home/light/.kde/cache-alf/ksycoca kio (KSycoca): Could not open ksycoca ====================================== Starting dcopserver from bash gives: dcopserver: relocation error: /opt/kde3/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc The interesting thing: Removing all KDE packages and reinstalling works sometimes. - until I install any other package or compile any program via "make install". And now it is broken completely. So, how you can see I need your help. I'm thankful for any ideas. Thanks and Best Regards Sebastian __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

pager
by ovidiu pascui 17 Jun '03

Hi there I'm using a KDE 3.1.2 desktop on my SuSE 8.2 box. In my desktop settings on my 15" monitor I liked to use the small size of the kicker so that I got the "pager" to display the available virtual desktops in a single row. Last week I got a 21" monitor and keeping the kicker size to small is not a good idea anymore. My question is how to configure the pager to keep displaying my desktops in a single row even when I'm using the large size of the kicker? This is possible in Gnome2 so I think it should be possible also in KDE3 (at least the screenshots of the new SuSE Linux Desktop prove this). Thanks.

kde problems after 8.2 upgrade
by Nate Mayotte 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

After I upgrade one of my machines to suse 8.2 it screwed up the menu at the bottem of the kde window, but only for older machines. If I logged into a 8.2 machine it looked fine, but when I logged into an 8.1 machine buttons were missing and it said failed to read directory on some. The server is running 8.1, if that helps, any suggestions on why using 8.2 would mess things up? After the upgrade it also screwed up how gnome works, some of the same symptoms, only its messed up on the 8.2 machine too.

Hi I have a question for SuSEwatcher developers: why the application is not able to dock in the notification area in the gnome2.2 panel? Is this not freedesktop compliant?

Kmail + signature
by Bill Wisse 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Haia Lately, or maybe it is after updating to SuSe 8.2 , I keep getting those irritating email's ( in Colour) what tells me that I received an email with a signature what could not be verified. Apart of sending them straight away ,without reading, to trash , is there an other way in Kmail to receive and read them just as normal mail? I'm really not interested what other people do to their mail as long as it comes up in normal text on my email program. Thanks for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FileName=0001104659-03-0122… And this little tidbit for /. The Company’s SCOsource licensing revenue to date has been generated from license agreements that are non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, paid up licenses to utilize the Company’s UNIX source code, including the right to sublicense. How do they intend to revoke IBMs UNIX license if they say in their own 10k filing that so far only perpetual deals have been made? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1532217 Let's see what else we can find in SCO's document of sooth saying! Cheers, Curtis.
