Bad for KMail........
by Fred Miller 11 Jan '04

11 Jan '04

One thing that KMail used to do, that it doesn't with the 9.0 release of SUSE, is tell you what address is "bad" when sending to multiple addresses. Now it just bombs until you can figure out which address isn't good. NOT the way a mailer should work!!! Fred -- "...Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows XP (also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)."

Mulitple Floppy Shows Up on Desktop
by Scott 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

About every other login (without rebooting), my KDE session will show multiple floppy devices even though there is only one device. The floppy device is attached via USB and is /dev/sda. The other non-existent floppy devices that show up are /dev/sg2 through /dev/sg8. When the KDE desktop only shows one floppy device, it is /dev/sg8 and it is not a real floppy device, it can not be used. You get a "not a block device" error when trying to mount it. I suspect the other devices might be underneath this icon, but I can not move the desktop icon to a new position. Any ideas?? Thanks for your help, -Scott

Hi, when configuring my konqeror toolbar there are some actions that I'd like to add but that don't have an icon, e.g. "Show hidden files". Accordingly, they fail to show up in the toolbar. How can I add my own icons here? Any help appreciated, Jan

KNode emulation of KMail keyboard shortcuts
by Albert 10 Jan '04

10 Jan '04

The switch in KNode to emulate KMail keyboard shortcuts does not seem to work. Is this a known bug? Or is something more needed to properly configure KNode? Albert

That's probably the one benefit I might notice. The initial load time is almost invisible on my system. I assume that once I start seeing bootup messages on my screen, the kernel is fully loaded (except for modules) and load time is no longer an issue. And the modules are loaded only as needed anyway.

gnome-theme?
by Mathias Homann 09 Jan '04

09 Jan '04

Hi, how do I make gnome apps under KDE on SuSE 9.0 use anything else than the geramik engine? Under any other WM it works just fine, except for gome itself where they hid the theme engine config thing too well. bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und 823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).

[repost] [suse-kde] Question about keyboard repeat rate.
by Ben Rosenberg 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

I'm reposting this question because I don't seem to remember getting an answer and it's getting super annoying having to enable keyboard repeating in the control center each time I log into KDE. I've looked in SaX2 as well an it appears to be correct..so I'm at a loss. ---- Would anyone know why it is when I set the keyboard repeat rate in KDE it doesn't save the settings for the next login? I've been fighting with this since the last update from SUSE of the 3.1.4 pkgs. It's quite annoying. Everything is setup correctly in my XF86Config as well. I'm puzzled by this. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on death row? " Keep an eye on this guy.

Default icon bars' icon size
by Paul Foerster 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hi, ... I hate the default icon size in all the programs' icon bars. It's just too big. I like the 22x22 size better. Is there any way to adjust the size globally without having to tell each programm that it should use the size I chose? Even worse, some programs don't save that setting. :-( -- cul8er, Paul paul.foerster(a)gmx.net

Possible Kmail problem, need help
by Ralph De Witt 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hi: I have just completed a clean install of SuSE 9.0. I configured Kmail and Downloaded about two days worth of email about 1,800 messages. I then installed spamassassin and a spam folder. I shut down Kmail, then restarted. I then spent about 2 hours recreating my directory structure. I then shutdown again and restarted Kmail. I then started creating filters and then filtering email, creating filters filtering email. At the end of process I shutdown and then restarted Kmail. When restarted I noticed that the inbox folder is now sorted at the next to last postiion just above the spam folder. When I click on the folder to select and right click on it and click on properties to bring up the properties dialouge it comes up with the expiry messages dialouge box, as if there is no proprietes dialouge box. My kmail configrc file for the inbox folder looks normal when compared to a previous file. I have two questions. How do I get the Inbox folder to stay in the top position? and Is it normal for the standard system folders ie Inbox, Outbox, Trash, drafts etc to have no properties dialouge box on any expiry dialouge box? Thanks for any help answering these two questions. I do not evere remember having these types of problems with Kmail before. Ralph

08 Jan '04

Hello: I have just completed a clean install of SuSE version 9.0. The first time I tryed to use Kooka to scan an image it did nothing. There were no errors etc., it just sat there doing nothing. So I loaded Xsane and that completed my scans. I then went back to kooka and started it in a terminal window. I got the following warnings and kooka completed a preview scan. ralph2@linux:~> kooka QObject::connect: No such signal ScanPackager::dropped(QWidget*,QDropEvent*,KURL::List&,KURL&) QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::initPrivate(): trying to assign a shortcut (Ctrl+I) to an unnamed action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::initPrivate(): trying to assign a shortcut (Ctrl+H) to an unnamed action.

Installing rpms via konqueror
by Neville Cobb 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Sorry if this may be the second post. When installing rpms by clicking on the rpm in konqueror I noticed a greyed-out button stating 'use directory as source with yast'. I'd like to have this feature working as I'm hoping that by selecting it, YaST will be able to see and use supporting rpms in the same directory rather than installing the rpms one at a time. Has any one been able to get this feature to work, or does it work? Nev

Programm in bestimmter virtueller Arbeitsfläche starten
by Michael Eichstädt 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hallo, ich habe mehrere virtuelle Arbeitsflächen angelegt. Jetzt möchte ich gerne, daß bestimmte Programme wenn ich sie starte immer auf bestimmten Arbeitsflächen ihr Fensterchen öffnen. z.B. Klick auf kmail und das Fenster erscheint auf Fläche 4 auch wenn ich kmail von Fläche 6 aus starte. Welche Parameter muß ich einem Program dafür mit auf den Weg geben? SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.1.4 Liebe Grüße Michael Eichstädt

DRM question
by Andrew Williams 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

no, not *that* DRM! Does anyone know what the problem is here? libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering It looks to me like framebuffers but the correct ones for my ATI Rage 128 are in there. 'not permitted' is also rather suspicious. This is possibly *not* a kde question, although it is happening under kde. Just in case it matters: - SuSE 9.0 with all updates applied - 2.6.0 kernel (I *think* it happened with the original kernel as well) Everything works fine even with the 'slow indirect rendering'. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Problem running Gnome programs in KDE ?
by Peter Fasi 03 Jan '04

03 Jan '04

I have a recurring problem with some Gnome programs running in KDE (such as Galeon and Grip). It seems that if they crash, my PC freezes up, and every subsequent time that I log on with the same username. I am inexperienced with Linux, and so my my only remedy has been to delete the username and set up a new username for myself. This is tedious, since I have to save and move all of my files, then change the permissions to the new user. The problem seems to be that there are some runaway programs are trying to initiate in the background. Is there any way around this? Can I edit the user profile to not initiate these programs? Any help would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
