RE: [suse-kde] Menu icons - background grey, disable?

> I've been experiencing the same behavior. I have 2 user accounts on this machine. There are two different packages in Personal that effect this, from what I can tell. kdebase3-SuSE (from Pro) kdebase3-Personal (from personal) kdeartwork3 (seems to apply to both versions but wasn't installed on my pro) I think I have narrowed it down to the kdebase3-Personal rpm as when I install it on a pro box, log out then in again, my menu looks like it would in Personal (no grey strip). However, I did a diff on the contents of both rpms and applied the changes to a pro box (without installing the personal rpm) and it had no effect - so I am back to square one, stumped ;)

>Perhaps: >Control Center -> Desktop -> Panels -> Menus >[x] Show side image Thank you for the suggestion. I did stumble onto this setting but this toggles the KDE side image not the grey strip that would still show to the right of it as a background for the icons. Its hard to explain... But if you don't have the option you mention enabled, there still is a grey background for the menu icons. It appears on every menu for all applications, not just the kicker menu.

Re: [suse-kde] SAMBA/Network browsing problems
by Mark Goldstein 04 Oct '04

Hi, I experienced similar problem to what Grant Wilson described in SuSE 9.1. I also could mount the share without any problem from command line (being root), and could not browse it from KDE "Network browsing". Even when using the form smb://user@host/share I'm getting the error message "process died unexpectedly". Eventually I gave up and installed latest version of smb4k. Initially I still had a problem, but smb4k have good diagnostics and I understood that smbmnt should have SETUID permission, while smbmount should not. I set permissions as needed and smb4k works very well now. Try it. Regards, Mark ===== Mark Goldstein _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

SAMBA/Network browsing problems
by Grant Wilson 04 Oct '04

04 Oct '04

Hi all, I have recently installed Suse 9.1 and Im having major problems with browsing and authenticating to our samba server which is configured as our primary domain controller and file server. I am using KDE 3.3 When I first installed suse I configured the smb client under YAST, when I first tried to join the domain I was succesful. When I tried to browse the network, konqueror immediately popped up saying " Internal error". I tried joining the domain from the console and I had no problems, I can even view the shares on the samba server from the console. I then tried a number of times to rejoin the domain and constantly received errors. I thought this was perhaps a bug with YAST and I did a complete online update. When I now try join the domain, the domain does not appear under YAST if I click the browse button. If I manually type in the domain and click join I dont get prompted for authentication but I dont receive any errors either. I can still manually joing the domain from the console and can still see all the shares fine from the console. I tried joining the domain from the console and then browsing the network from the desktop but I still receive the same Konqueror internal error. As a last resort I tried mounting the shares using the console with smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=username,password=password, this works fine and I am able to browse the shares from the desktop using konqueror but I am not given the privileges to access the files that my username should. It is as though I have mounted the shares but my username has not been authenticated. I have proved this by the fact that I can access shares that do not have user specific privileges, I get denied access to the ones that do. The rest of our network works perfectly with the same usernames on our windows pcs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching google and have found others with the same problem but so far have found no solution.

Problems while updating kdegraphics3
by Bob 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Hello. I just updated the kdegraphics packages (RPM), on October 1st. These are dated September 28. I got them from SuSE repository. It happens that the mere kdegraphics3 rpm disappeared from SuSE repository, so I had to uninstall the whole kdegraphics, reinstall kdegraphics3 (see below), then install the kdegraphics3 packages (no error messages). Everything seems to work except kpdf and kdvi. kdvi crashes completely (it doesn't start at all). bob@Dudule:~> kdvi kviewshell: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kdvipart.so: undefined symbol: _ZN19CenteringScrollview12setNrColumnsEh My versions: bob@Dudule:~> rpm -q kdegraphics3 kdegraphics3-tex kdegraphics3-3.2.1-63 kdegraphics3-tex-3.3.0-12 bob@Dudule:~> kdvi -v Qt: 3.3.3 KDE: 3.3.0 KViewShell: 0.2 What's this mess ?

Where did you get that info? My SuSE 9.1 Pro uses KDE by default.

I happened to be at LinuxWorld Conference in San Francisco two months ago, where Novell was demonstrating a beta version of the Novell Desktop. I didn't have the time to play with it, but it sure looked like KDE to me... -Ti

KPilot - no documentation :(
by Ozymandias 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

OK, is there a way to get KPilot to sync with other Palm contact applications? I am running KeyDates/Contacts/Notes on my m500, mainly because the built in applications lack the ability to store multiple email addresses/contact. Quite frustrating really, especially as I finaly got Kpilot to recognise, and sync/back up my palm. If not, can any one offer suggestions as to other Palm contact applications that WILL sync with Kpilot? I refuse to give up my multiple email/physical addresses. thanks Lance -- Zoë: Shepard, isn't the Bible kind of specific about killing? Book: Very specific.
