YaST2 Update for KDE
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Hello List, I have YaST2 pointing to http://ftp.leo.org/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1/yast-sour… and then to my SuSE DVD. When 3.1.2 was released, a few days later on May 22nd I was able to update my KDE using YaST2. Today I browsed the suse download pages and noticed that there were updates in some kdebase packages and the qt3 package. However checking the entries in YaST, I was not able to see the updated packages. Anyone knows why, and what I am doing wrong? is the yast-source not updated on the server? Kostas

number of desktops - qtrc
by Gert Caers 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

Dear all, a while ago i upgraded to kde 3.0.5. Everything went fine except for 2 problems: 1) for one user the number of desktops always is 4 at logon. I can change it with control center (+apply) but the next logon it is 4 again 2) At startup the system says: please check the following files: /etc/X11/qtrc.rpmnew it contains only minor changes to /etc/X11/qtrc 2 questions: 1) has this anything to do with my first problem? 2) what must i do to get rid of this line at startup? thx, Gert Caers

Some progams don't show up in kicker
by Martin Brüggebors 07 Jul '03

I have a annoying problem with kinternet and kscd (maybe more apps, didn't test yet): When I do start kinternet, the kinternet-icon (plug with green ball) doesn't show up in kicker. I did move all the icons a litte (and even more!), but the kinternet-icon is not there. Starting kinternet again gives the message: 'kinternet is already running!'. Well, yes, that's true... The same behaviour occurs with kscd. Strange enough, this only happens to 'root', not to other users. My system is SuSE 8.2 / KDE 3.1.2 now, but the problem occured since 8.1/KDE 3.1. Any clues? Martin

> In any case you should NOT run all these progs while being logged into KDE > as > root, not at all. > :-) Your're right, 'root' ist not an everyday's account. Sometimes I need root for administration purposes like online-updates, an in these cases it is even more necessary to see whether my isdn-card is online or not. My question was more about understanding how kicker works. Martin -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern!

KDE window gadgets
by BandiPat 04 Jul '03

04 Jul '03

Hey all, I am curious if anyone else has this problem or noticed this buglet yet? Open a KDE program that has windows inside the main window, like KBear or Scribus, etc. Any program that opens a window up inside the main window with the top right gadgets there. The "close", "maximize" or "shrink" gadget buttons. Can you see any graphics on those buttons? I have the buttons, but no graphics on them! On the main window, I have graphics, but not on the secondary window. I think this came about with the last QT3 updates from MFabian's stockpile of files. KDE 3.1.2 and here is a list of the qt3 files: qt3-extensions-3.1.2-55 qt3-mysql-3.1.2-55 qt3-devel-tools-3.1.2-55 qt3-unixODBC-3.1.2-55 qt3-postgresql-3.1.2-55 qt3-non-mt-3.1.2-45 qt3-static-3.1.2-47 qt3-examples-3.1.2-55 qt3-man-3.1.2-55 qt3-3.1.2-46 qt3-devel-3.1.2-46 qt3-devel-doc-3.1.2-46 Can anyone else confirm? Anyone else running an older qt3 version confirm that they are okay?

Multiple desktops collapse
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 03 Jul '03

03 Jul '03

On SuSE Pro 8.1 with KDE 3.1.2 I am usually running 4 Desktops to separate my applications. However, when I am running some gnome tools including: gnome-font-properties and gnome-control-center ( I am trying to solve some font issues I have with gtk apps) the Desktops collaps into one. This is not critical, just a bit annoying. Anyone know how I can stop this happening? Kostas
