Invalid date problem
by ianseeks 19 Aug '03

Hi, There is a problem with changing the date or time in YAST where it always reports an invalid date. The CLI date program works fine so it looks like the problem lies somewhere in YAST/KDE/QT. regards Ian

Kicker consumes too much cpu time
by Lukacs Zsolt 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

Hello list I am using a SuSE 8.2 box, a have upgraded to KDE 3.1.3 and what I can see is that the kicker is using 60% of CPU time. Is that normal or is there something I can do about it, because it slows down the system very much. Tanks, Zsolt

I was thinking of giving up and reinstalling SuSE again, but I don't have the time now. I am not giving up hope though. I'll keep googling until something comes up. :) Vale

Windows Key as key short cut
by Stefan Schlörholz 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hello everybody, I desperately try to use the windows key on my keyboard as key short cut. I want to open the K-menu by simply hitting the windows key. In the control center I can define key short cut for the K-menu but only when I use a combination of the windows key and onother key. I want the k-menu to appear but using the windows key only. Does anybody know how to do that? cu Stefan

COPY and PASTE in Konqueror
by Sebastian Axmann 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hello. Several days ago,I asked for tips on my Konqueror-Problem. Description: After Changing the Settings for a special File Type,especially here moving Programs in the Quene for the order of starting,a right click onto a file of a changed file type no longer shows the options "Copy to" or "Move to".Even if the original selection/order/... is restored,this remains. It is possible to restore the default behaviour by cutting the file "profilerc" in the config-Directory to 0.This restores the original settings.It deletes all user defined settings of execution order,too. Does anyone know,where konqueror stores the base informations and execution orders for the file types?

RE: [suse-kde] yakumo quicksilver USB 2.0
by Stefan.Brandner＠infineon.com 18 Aug '03

The reason why the flash memory stick is recognised ad sda1 on one system and sdc1 on the other is that the first machine doesn't have an scsi disk and the second one does. What you see with fdisk -l /dev/sda is you harddisk. If sda is already used by a disk (harddisc, cd recorder) you have to use the next letter. You can always use an USB 2.0 stick because they are backeard compatible the only disadvantage you have is the transfer speed. Usually under SuSe 8.2 with kde when you attach the usb stick on a running system a new line in added to the /etc/fstab file and you don't have to care about the mount name. If this doesn't work you need to check if the directory where you mount it to exists. E.g. /media/sda1 or /media/sdc1 After that you should be able to mount it with mount /media/sdc1 Stefan -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Eckl [mailto:daniel.eckl@gmx.de] Sent: Donnerstag, 14.

I don't know the reason for this, but you can try to create and format partitions under linux and if this works you can try if you can access this partition under WinXP. Daniel Am Donnerstag, 14.

X starts only in failsafe mode
by Gnana Vadi Vale 17 Aug '03

17 Aug '03

I installed SuSE 8.2 minimal with X (TWM) and no KDE/Gnome. Later when my system hardware has been upgraded (RAM esp.), I installed KDE base, libs and utils. And now when I boot into INIT 5, kdm starts up but upon login I find that no matter which WINDOWMANAGER I choose (KDE/fvwm2/icewm) I always get into failsafe mode with a single instance of XTerm. I am able to run "exec startkde" or "exec icewm" and launch my window manager from there, but I would like to have kdm do this which is the normal procedure. Any ideas why X is always going into failsafe mode ? Thanks Vale

Konqueror als Browser
by H.Eidloth＠t-online.de 17 Aug '03

17 Aug '03

Hallo Leute, ich benutze SusE 8.2 mit KDE 3.1.2 . Seit kurzem habe ich das Problem, daß bei einem Klick auf einen weiterführenden Link auf einer Webseite mir der Konqueror (als Beispiel) meldet: Beim Laden von http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/bo-16.08.03-001/ ist folgender Fehler aufgetreten: Die Datei oder das Verzeichnis http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/bo-16.08.03-001/ existiert nicht. Drücke ich dann allerdings den Knopf "Erneut laden" in der Toolbar-Leiste wird die Seite problemlos angezeigt. Direkte Eingaben in das Adressfenster werden ebenfalls anstandslos ausgeführt. Wenn mir irgend jemand einen Tip (oder auch mehrere Tips) geben könnte, wäre ich sehr dankbar. MfG Heinrich Eidloth

libkorn_konqhtml.la not found -- where is it?
by David T-G 13 Aug '03

13 Aug '03

Hi, all -- I asked about this a week or so ago; I've installed SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1.3 on my laptop, and instead of the konqueror that I get on my 8.1/3.1.2 other laptop I get "libkorn_konqhtml.la not found". The only answer I got was to switch to apt4rpm. That sounds good, but I haven't yet had a chance to undertake that; things are extremely (but delightfully; I'm glad to have the work!) busy for me. Could someone run a quick rpm -qal | grep libkorn and tell me in what rpm to find it so that I can get on with my work?

Icons missing in KMail RegExpEditor
by Richard Andrews 10 Aug '03

10 Aug '03

Hallo! I have upgraded Suse8.2 to kde 3.1.3 using rpms from leo.org's ftp site (and the online update facility of YaST). All seems fine however the icons in the KMail Regular Expression editor are blank (ie those in the toolbars in the top of the Regexp editor). The tool tips will appear on hover and all other icons in kmail are ok. Has anyone else had this problem? KRegexp is a part of KDEUtils and I have the following versions installed: kdeutils3-extra-3.1.3-19 kdeutils3-laptop-3.1.3-19 kdeutils3-3.1.3-19 Any tips on where to check in case the icon files are missing or other ideas would be most welcome. Many thanks Richard Andrews
