KMail won't print
by Steve Edmonds 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Hi. I have SUSE 8.2 pro, kmail 1.5.1, KDE 3.1.1, cups, remote lpd printer. and I cannot print from kmail. Kmail locks up with the formatting page and print cancel button showing and cannot be killed without exiting X. Other programs print ok. Any suggestions appreciated as I would like to print an email without cut and pasting the contents to a text document. Thanks, steve

I couldn't help myself...
by David Herman 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I tried to hold off, I really did, I just couldn't stop myself. (SuSE 8.1 pro, xfree86 4.2.0, win4lin patched kernel 2.4.19-308) I use apt/synaptic for my updates. I used Synaptic to upgrade to 3.1.4 for suse 8.1 the other night, when I checked in the morning Synaptic had apparantly hung. I logged out and back in. At this point I recieved an error (in an x-window) "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." I clicked Okay and kde loaded as it should. I checked my ~/.xsession-errors and found the following... kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory I checked /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 is where it should be kdeinit is in /opt/kde3/bin as expected so I copied all of the new files to a new dir and ran # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm in the directory, after awhile kde pretty much locked up. (no mouse or keyboard control) I reset the machine, then # init 3 # cd /dir/with/upgrade # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm recieved an error message I don't remember # rpm --rebuilddb # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm worked this time # /sbin/ldconfig # /sbin/SuSEconfig # reboot At this point I trust that all of the files (qt, kde 3.1.4 upgrades) have been installed properly but I still get the error message. It only happens at login (for all users, not just me) and everything else seems to be working as expected. I'd like to get rid of this error but at least things seem to work. Any Ideas? PS In regards to Richard Bos question, The packages you found are the same as those I find available in synaptic, I guess some haven't been updated yet.

apt-get holds back 10 kde packages
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hello List, I wanted to upgrade to 3.1.4 with apt-get, but it wants to keep back 10(!) kde packages: kdeadmin3 kdeedu3 kdegames3 kdegraphics3 kdelibs3 kdelibs3-devel kdemultimedia3-devel kdepim3 kdetoys3 libwmf Since this includes some core packages, I aborted the upgrade. I assume there are dependencies from some packages I installed separately. Can I find out what packages are causing this? Maybe uninstalling those packages by hand, upgrading, and re-installing would help. Kostas

Re: [suse-kde] Font problems with KDE 3.1.4 (anti-aliasing)

Did you try to check your /etc/X11/qtrc file? I've seen qt 3.2.1 installed a new qtrc file in my system. Now, I'm not seeing your problem, but I had some strange behaviours with with Kiten's Japanese characters, so I rechecked my font config with qtconfig. Now, at least www.spiegel.de is anti-aliased.

Font problems with KDE 3.1.4 (anti-aliasing)
by Uwe Siems 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hello! Has anyone experienced strange font changes after installing KDE 3.1.4? Mostly it is that fonts that previously were anti-aliased are not any more, especially in Konqueror, but I also had problems with the message display in KMail which used a much too small font. I reverted back to KDE 3.1.3 because of this. I suspect it´s a change in the qt libs, so I think it was a bad idea to base KDE 3.1.4 on QT 3.2.1. Or is something wrong with my setup? Did anyone else have problems? Greetings Uwe

No copy'n paste from vmware to kde

Hi out there, after upgrading my KDE 2.2.2 to 3.1.3 from the September 4th releases, the copy and paste from my vmware 3.x to any KDE application does not work. A copy and paste from vmware to a non-KDE-application like nedit works. Is this a known problem, and what can I do to make it work ?

Hi, i am experiencing problems with kde 3.1.4 and qt 3.2.1 the upgrade with apt-get went fine. Up till the point where i started a GTK2 app in my case mozilla-firebird and all i could see was the ugly GTK Theme instead of Geramik. I am sure it is to do with the qt update but i am not sure how to fix this problem and i cannot find any infos on the web about this problem. Under Gentoo i use switch2 to change the GTK2 Theme does a similar app exisit for suse or has anyone got another solution to fix this anonying problem. Cheers Simon

Junk Mail.
by Malcolm Candlish 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Dear List Members, Having lost a lot of important business mail, I am enquiring as to whether members have found a successful way of dealing with 'junk'. Could it be that 'Evolution' is being selective and not including some mail, or has my enthusiasm for deletion got the better of me! Very fortunately I also have Mutt on board and that which was lost, was collected. Has anyone tryed Spamassasin or other utility for selecting out junk and more importantly does it work. Thank you for your time. Malcolm Candlish.

I've tried to update to KDE 3.1.4 from updates on SuSE and wrecked KDE Started with libs YaST Asked for newer Qt Installed newer Qt ("static" from elsewhere on SuSE) Retried to install libs YaST asked for newer Qt again Decided this must a transient issue and forced installation May I ask for suggested ways forward: Can I try and rebuild the RPM database? Can force install KDE 3.1.1 from SuSE 8.2 DVD and start again? May I ask why the process above (prior to the "force") didn't work? TIA

After a new start of KDE the Lock-button locks the screen - but after 3 or more days I cannot lock the screnn by activating the LockButton in the tray and also with <ctrl-alt-del>.

Check /etc/sysconfig/kernel: INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs usb-uhci input hid keybdev mousedev evdev" I know that generally, I could load the last three in on their own and their parents load first, but I figured it would cover the bases and leave little room for error. ;) Having the modules completely loaded by the time hotplug was called at boot made the devices already available for use. If I removed them from initrd, and set the hotplug timeout higher, I still noticed the devices were not detected.
