Screen saver session turns blank ("white")
by Eduardo Nogueira 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hi, Configuring with KDE, my screen saver starts (say with Forest) correctly but after a couple of minutes the screen turns out blank - I mean "white" (with quotes) because is not really white color but a white brightness with a darker periphery. With typing or mouse movement the normal screen (not the screen saver images) comes back. I use Suse 9.2 and KDE 3.3 (Toshiba Satellite 5105-S501 with NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go + 32MB DDR video memory) and generally Thanks in advance for your attention and possible help Eduardo -- Eduardo A Nogueira, MD, PhD Professor of Internal Medicine Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory University of Campinas School of Medicine Campinas, Sao Paulo Brazil

KKDE 3.3.2 forget the "most used Application"
by Juan Ehrenhaus 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Hello, I have a very uncomfortable behavior for my new updated KDE3.3.2 (under SuSE9.1) >From time to time, when I open the Kmenu, the area for the "Most used Applications" is reduced to the last open Application. During this session appears the last ones like the setting for this issue is: remember the last 6 applications. This can running OK, but suddenly even few days later, this area "Most used Applications" is reduced to the last one again. I will appreciate feedback to solve this malfunction.

Yast and KDE 3.3.2 update
by Thomas Börkel 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

HI! Every time I start yast to refresh the KDE 3.3.2 upgrade (update selections "KDE desktop" and "KDE development") on my Suse 9.0, it either - installs kdegraphics3 3.3.2, cryptplug 0.3.16 and kdenetwork3-mail 3.1.4 - uninstalls kgamma 1.0.1 or - installs kdepim3 3.3.2, kgamma 1.0.1 - uninstalls cryptplug 0.3.16, kdenetwork3-mail 3.1.4 Each time, it alternates between those 2 possibilities. But which one is correct? I guess, the 2nd. And why does it do this? Thanks! Thomas

KDE 3.3.2 - no system sounds after updating
by Christian Mager 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

Hello everyone, I hope some of you can help me. Yesterday I updated from KDE 3.3.0 to 3.3.2 on SUSE Linux 9.2 but since then, KDE doesn't play system sounds. My first guess was, that something could be wrong with the pathes to the sound files, but they're on the right place. When I type in (for example) 'artsplay /opt/kde3/share/sounds/KDE_Startup_3.ogg' everything works fine, so what could it be? If you need additional information, please ask. Thanks, Chris Mager.

KDE sounds
by BandiPat 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

Just wondering, I know many of you guys don't like the sounds you can turn on in KDE for window actions, system notifications, etc., so you turn them off. I tend to go the other way though and usually have several that are on. That is until recently, as they seem to have quit working. All other sounds work. I can play individual sounds, play oggs, mp3s, etc. everything else, it's just the KDE sounds that won't play! Anyone else noticed this little bug? It seems to have started since the last few KDE updates. I have tried going back to the earlier arts files, which were the latest in the kde mirrors, but that doesn't seem to correct things, so unsure what it might be at this point. It could be something with the new KDE 3.3.2 files, but haven't yet reverted back to the earlier ones to test that theory. Anyone else noticed this? Attempted to correct it and if you were successful, what steps did you take? As I mentioned, this is ONLY the KDE sound notifications, nothing else, all other sound functions work as usual. TIA, Lee

Restoring desktop icons
by Robert Fitzpatrick 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

I mistakenly deleted the system icons from the desktop. I had a backup, but while I was waiting for the backup to uncompressed, it backed up again over top and they were gone. I don't have any self-made icons, just want to get back the defaults. Can I do this? And how? -- Robert

XFREE86: Missing In 3.3.2 Update
by Robert Williams 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

Hi All! Maybe someone can help me. I recently updated to the 3.3.2 supllementary fork at ftp.suse.com. Everything seems to be running fine so far, but when I opened the control to look at my video settings I got this error message in YasT: "To access the X11 system, the XFree86 package must be installed. Do you want to install it now?" ?? Huh ?? If XFree86 is not a part of (current) running filesys, then is Xorg supporting all graphics independently? I'm using a Viewsonic P225fb (22") w/ ATI Radeon 7500 and getting edge-to-edge display at 1600X1200---no problem; rock steady. How to deal with this? Re-install from 9.1 Pro DVD, Then maybe YOU update to newer security & other XFree86 patches or.....? Any suggestions or someone who had same problem??
