where is KDE 3.3.1 for SUSE9.2
by Michael Riess 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

has nayone any info when KDE 3.3.1 for SUSE9.2 is available cause i used 3.3.1 from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1 on my SuSE9.1 bevor the update to 9.2 and i am missing it because there are several fixes from 3.3.0 (for example the window-focus-problem is very frustrating so do not tell me the 3.3.0 from SUSE9.2 is an 3.3.1 because there are several bugs i recognise from 3.3.0) so has anyone any idea why there is no KDE-Update for SUSE9.2 in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/ and when it will be there?

kde 3.3 + konqueror stability issues
by Alaios 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi! My problem is that the kde 3.3 enough times freeze. The most often problem is that i can not use the keyboard or the mouse or both of them so i need to restart the entire system. Also the konqueror some time becomes so slow that i must close and reopen it.. Any suggestion? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

KDED Mountwatcher and GnuPG!
by Andrew Colvin 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi all, I have kde 3.3.1 on my suse 8.2 my kded mountwatcher does not function correctly (manifests itself in not recognising new mounts). I have tracked it down to the .gnupg folder in my home directory. If I remove it, it works! I have stripped all entries so that it just has the agent entry. As a bit of info when I migrated to 3.3 I had to update my gpg so that are could start signing messages again. I did this by downloading and compiling from sources. I have updated the rpm db so that it thinks it has the old version to stop Yast/YOU complaining and trying to install the old version everytime it starts. Does anyone have an idea why mountwatcher does not seem to function correctly. Andrew -- Andrew ------------------------------- Jabber: acolvin(a)jabber.org MSN: apc(a)abcj.demon.co.uk ICQ: 44775817

KDE 3.3 login hangs
by Robert Graf-Waczenski 08 Nov '04

08 Nov '04

Hi folks! Yesterday, i once again tweaked on the font installations on my Kernel 2.4.20 / SuSE 8.2 box running a recently upgraded KDE 3.3 I did four things: 1.) As root, recompiled & installed freetype 2.1.4 with enabled bytecode interpreter 2.) As root, mounted my windows partition 3.) As non-root, added *all* my windows fonts to OpenOffice by using "spadmin" and accessing the windows partition 4.) As non-root, using the KDE font installer, removed all user-specific fonts and then also added all windows fonts. (There are 250+ of them, this took some time but seemed to work ok) Now the following happened (and is reproducible since then): I'm able to log in to KDE as root without unusual problems. But when trying to log in as the non-root user i was using in 3) and 4) above, the X server does start but *no* KDE splash screen appears. The disk is busy for a few minutes, still no splash screen. After a few seconds more, i become impatient and kill the X server and re-login as root, which works ok again. So, effectively, my non-root account is unusable now. Some initial ideas: - I was running freetype with the enabled bytecode interpreter some time already but did not re-supply the fonts. Since the fonts still looked rather blurry and sub-optimal, i figured that i might have to remove and re-add them, which is what i did yesterday. - Normally, my windows partition is *not* mounted. I will try to unmount it again this evening and see what happens. - Before yesterday, i also never used the "spadmin" tool from OpenOffice, maybe this thingy freaked something up. Can anybody give me a hint as to what of the steps above may have caused the problem or what else i can do to make my account usable again? (I don't want to wipe the system, of course...) Thanks in advance, Robert

RE: [suse-kde] Suse 9.2 and Kmail

Is your local domain <something>.local? If so it could be due to multicast DNS which I think is used by default when doing lookups on a domain that ends in .local. I saw that in 9.1 Suse does that which makes it very dificult for me to use at work as we have <something>.local Anyone know how to turn this off?

Kbear messing up taskbar
by Eric Wagar 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

I am seeing problems when using Kbear on SuSE9.2 (fresh install). When I load Kbear, the KDE taskbar will crowd together thw tasks in the taskbar, and open up a lot of in between items on the "System Tray". Once I close Kbear, the proper spacing will return, but not immediately. Has anyone else seen this, and is there something I can do to fix the issue? (I'm new to Linux, and especially SuSE/KDE, so I may get my terms incorrect.) Thanks eric

Problem with KDE 3.3 Window Handling
by Ascaris Lepis 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hi, I just upgraded my SuSE 9.0 to the new SUSE 9.2 with KDE 3.3 Everything works fine exept that that new Window Handling in the KDE 3.3 drives me mad. My Problem is simple. In the former Version of KDE (includec with SUSE 9.0) window tiling (having multiple KDE windows overlapping each other) worked that way, that inactive windows were below the active window and could be made active by clicking on the Menu/Move Bar of that Window. Then that window became active and moved ON TOP of all other Windows (as you are used to it in M$ Windows). With the new KDE (SuSE 9.2) it does not seem to work that way anymore. Now a window can be active but still is below another non-active window. Or a non-active window still overlaps with an active window hiding the region of that active window. New Windows/Message Boxes are always opened below all other (and escpially the active) Window so you have to switch to the new window/message box. I tried playing around with those new "Keep above/below Others" Buttons and Windows behavior settions. I cannot get it to work as I am used to it... Please can anyone help ? Thankx Dirk --
