kdebase3-SuSE Error With New kde-3.1.95 Packages
by Christopher Shanahan 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

Hello all, I've managed to resolve all dependencies with the new kde packages, the 3.1.95 packages, save one. While installing <rpm -Uvh *rpm> as su/ root I get the following error: error: Failed dependencies: kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0 conflicts with kdebase3-3.1.95-0 I've searched this mailing list and several others but I couldn't find any suggestions or hints to resolve this error. And, a newer kdebase3-SuSE package has not made its way to the SuSE downloads site, nor have I found it in the supplementary > kde section on the ftp site. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any suggestions? Thank you, in advance, for any help. Chris/CMS

Default icons configuration
by Olaf Lenz 23 Jan '04

23 Jan '04

Hello! I've only recently joined this list after you've written your message, therefore I cannot reply properly. Sorry for inconveniences. The script you're looking for is the kde startup script itself: /opt/kde3/bin/startkde It is "patched" by SuSE and includes all the code to copy the SuSE default icons and the rest of the configuration. If you want to add some other icons, you can probably do it there. Personally I think, this is not a good way to modify the KDE configuration for a new user, but I will discuss this in an additional message. Cheers Olaf

Enabling core dumps on SLP 9.0 i386 Solved
by Bob Pearson 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

After a great deal of searching I was able to determine and fix the inability to get core dumps in SLP 9.0 under a KDM login. Evidently, gpg-agent plays some role in a KDM login, what I am not sure but it explicitly disables core dumps in it's main function. I was able to build a new version of /usr/bin/gpg-agent from package newpg-0.9.4-119 using it's source RPM and build(1). It is missing several dependencies for the build if BUILD_ROOT is set in your environment. If you do not set BUILD_ROOT it uses /var/tmp and does not have any missing dependencies. I have included the changes needed to gpg-agent.c and instructions for building a new /usr/bin/gpg-agent. which is just commenting out the call to: #if notdef may_coredump = disable_core_dumps (); #endif in agent/gpg-agent.c Also note, you must comment out the following in /etc/profile: #ulimit -Sc 0 # don't create core files Perhaps ULB or someone will be kind enough to create a package. Maybe SuSE will fix it. Best Regards. ================== Install the source rpm package for newpg-0.9.4-119 from the YaST via Yast2->Software->Install and Remove Software and searching for newpg. Check the source checkbox (scrolled off the screen).Install and Remove Software and searching for newpg. Check the source checkbox (scrolled off the screen). Push the accept button. It will tell you which disc to get source from or to turnover the DVD disc if you have the DVD. Now as root create a temporary directory and cd to it. # mkdir temp # cd temp # cp /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/die-with-parent.diff . # cp /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/newpg-0.9.4.tar.bz2 . # cp /usr/src/packages/SPECS/newpg.spec . Now manually mount the install disc, mine goes to /media/dvd # mount /media/dvd # build newpg.spec If you have never done this before it uses /var/tmp by default. This directory is normally clean on reboot so you lose everything. Make sure you have enough disk space free as build uses a chroot(1)ed environment. I have the environmental variable BUILD_ROOT set to "/build" on my system but for this discussion I will use /var/tmp as if BUILD_ROOT was not set. The build copies all sorts of libraries and executeables from install system to the chroot(1)ed environment. This will take several minutes. After the build finishes if no packages were missing then: If unset use /var/tmp in place of ${BUILD_ROOT) # cp ../newgpg-agent.c ${BUILD_ROOT}/buildroot//usr/src/packages/BUILD/newpg-0.9.4/agent/gpg-agent.c # cd ${BUILD_ROOT}/buildroot//usr/src/packages/BUILD/newpg-0.9.4 # make # cp agent/gpg-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent Reboot and you will be able to get coredumps. ================== -- _/_/_/ Bob Pearson gottadoit(a)mailsnare.net _/_/_/ "The best way to get information on Usenet is not to ask a _/_/_/ question, but to post the wrong information." - Aahz' Law

Missing option in kdialog?
by Carl Luescher 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hi, I came across the need to use kdialog, specifically the 'combobox' option. When I key in: kdialog --combobox I receive the following error: kdialog: Unknown option '--combobox'. kdialog: Use --help to get a list of available command line options. I'm running SuSE 9.0 with latest YOU updates. I understand 'kdialog' is part of kdebase, which lends me to believe that I may have an bad install? Or possibly missing a library or two? Any assist is greatly appreciated. Thank you /Carl

Kmail & KDE 3.2
by BandiPat 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Hi all, And isn't the newest 3.2 just grand? ;o) Some nice fixes and changes. For those that haven't seen it yet, you are in for a treat with KDE 3.2 final. I've got a question to any of those running the new KDE. In KMail, I can't seem to open kaddressbook anymore. I can open from a konsole or from a desktop icon, but I cannot open from within kmail. Neither from the menu or toolbar icon. Anyone else experiencing the same? Suggestions on how to fix?

KMail: public key error message
by Albert 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

On some messages I get the following displayed just after the header: /Message was signed with unknown key 0x<some hex numbers> The validity of the signature cannot be verified. Status: No public key to verify the signature/ Does this indicate that I have not configured KMail correctly? Where is the public key mentioned in the message. -- "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?

KNode emulation of KMail keyboard shortcuts
by Albert 19 Jan '04

19 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
