KDE 3.3.1 packages, small issue.
by Jon Nelson 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I've upgraded using the KDE 3.3.1 supplemental packages. One minor problem: kdegraphics3-imaging appears to depend on kdegraphics3. However, the most recent version of kdegraphics3 is 3.2.1-63. file /opt/kde3/bin/kuickshow conflicts between attempted installs of kdegraphics3-imaging-3.3.1-3 and kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 file /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kuickshow.la conflicts between attempted installs of kdegraphics3-imaging-3.3.1-3 and kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 file /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kuickshow.so conflicts between attempted installs of kdegraphics3-imaging-3.3.1-3 and kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 file /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/kuickshow.desktop conflicts between attempted installs of kdegraphics3-imaging-3.3.1-3 and kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 file /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/kuickshow/index.cache.bz2 conflicts between attempted installs of kdegraphics3-imaging-3.3.1-3 and kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 Additionally, no kdegraphics3 RPM with version 3.3.1-X appears to be available. :-( Since this is my first post, I feel I MUST congratulate and thank the KDE folks at SuSE for making this available. I've been using UN*X since 1995 and Linux since 1996, and I've been with all of the big players in the distro game (as well as many of the small ones, including home-grown), and SuSE is far-and-away the best I've encountered yet. I eagerly anticipate the 9.2 release. My money is in my hand, SuSE, just waiting to be spent on 9.2! Gimme gimme! -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants!

kmail bug or feature?
by Mario Streiber 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hi! when I reply to a message, the original message text is appended to my mail text. That's how I configured it. But if I have highlighted parts of the original message and click the reply button, only the selected part ends up in the reply message. When I first saw this I thought this is a bug, but meanwhile I think this might be a feature. Can someone clarify this? Mario

kprinter and Firefox 1.0PR
by John Quentin Heywood 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am having a problem getting Mozilla Firefox 1.0PR to print in kde 3.2 on SuSE 9.1. I tried the steps mentioned in the support database, all to the same result. When I send a print job to a printer from firefox, kprinter pops up. I then send the job, and nothing happens. When I look on CUPS, the print job is listed as being from <STDIN> and the job's state is listed as "aborted." Other programs, including Kate, OpenOffice.org, and adobe acrobat print fine. Any ideas? - -- John Quentin Heywood Adjunct Professor of International Law Digital Media Librarian & Information Architect American University Washington College of Law 202-274-4329 heywood(a)american.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBbUWFgYU8OFyQRP4RArr5AKDIn1QThNmHZqkGKhk2feh4sQHhGACeImgh ssfJ1NMatcYp8o+AGpL9mvk= =KoQK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Connecting Bluefritz dongle to DSL via GMX
by Padraic McGrath 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hi Good morning list, I'm new here and relatively new using Linux. Not sure if this is the best list to ask this question to, but here goes.... I have installed SuSE 9.1 special edition on my Samsung VM8000 Laptop. I have a DSL connection with GMX as my provider. I'm using a bluefritz dongle which talks to a box that sits on top of my stereo. I have installed all the drivers to get the thing working under both 9.1 and Win XP, it works fine under Windoze XP pro, but refuses to connect under 9.1 I changed options using Midnight Commander following instructions from the GMX site itself, I think however that these instructions are out of date. When I open KDE it crashes immediately but that I suspect could have something to do with the codecs I installed for my DVD player. -- Any help connecting to GMX DSL with bluefritz greatly appreciated Best regards, Patrick. ********************* *Patrick McGrath *Hardware Technician *nabios GmbH *Hirschgartenallee.27 *80639 München *Tel:+49 (0)89 452177-12 *Mob:+49 (0)179 959 2434 *eMail: pam(a)nabios.com *************************

Use of Compaq pocket PC
by Henk A.M. Weebers 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

Hello List, Perhaps somebody is able to inform me about connecting my Comaq pocket PC. KDE is able to connect handhelds with Windows CE to a Linux box. I tried to do that by installing synCE and starting Raki. But it cann't get a connection. 1. What I don't know is: is windows CE somewhat equal to Pocket PC? 2. Has somebody experienced thes problem?

Entering eastern European characters on U.S. keyboard
by Cris Perdue 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hi, Hopefully an easy question: can someone recommend good ways to enter eastern European (or other non-U.S. characters) through a U.S.-style keyboard? Hopefully the same technique will work for any European language. (I'm not planning to enter any asian language input.) Thanks for any help! Regards, Cris

ugly fonts
by Miroslav Kubiczek 11 Oct '04

11 Oct '04

Hello, two days ago I upgraded to SuSE 9.1 (from 9.0) and encountered a problem with fonts. I do not use antialiasing. In KDE I can't find any usable font in any font dialog window. The most problem is with Konsole, its font are ungly in smaller sizes. I'm missing my old "Courier new" font, currently in the choice window are about 20 kind of font but EVERY of them is ugly and most of them are similar. I installed every font package from SuSE installation media. The interesting thing is, that when I run mozilla than its fonts are pretty (windows true type) but I can't reach this in any KDE's application :-( Would anyone help me? I searched internet and tried everything but nothing helped. Thanks and regards, Miro Kubiczek

KDM login bounces back to login screen
by Chris Rauschuber 10 Oct '04

10 Oct '04

Hi, Whenever I try to login with one user(others work fine), I see the same thing I usually do when I login, but then it goes back to the login screen before it shows the KDE initialization splash. I can't find anything in dmesg, /var/log/messages that tells me what is wrong. I saw AUDIT: Wed Oct 6 22:06:03 2004: 4263 X: client 24 rejected from local host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 in /var/log/kdm.log, so I tried deleting the .Xauthority file, but that didn't help either. Where else can I look to figure out what's going wrong? Thanks, Chris

drag&drop mouse pointer in KMail
by Mario Streiber 09 Oct '04

09 Oct '04

Hi, I am missing the special mouse pointer for drag&drop in KMail. While dragging a mail to another folder, only the normal mouse pointer is shown. Drag&drop actually works, it's just that KMail doesn't show the correct pointer. Any ideas? Mario
