hi all suse user seit 1998 regelmässige updates ohne unlösbare probleme jetzt seit ein paar wochen auf Acer TravelMate 6003LCi mit suse 9.1 und seit update vor einigen tagen auch mit 9.2 immer aktuellstes YOU update ! folgende regelmmässigen probleme: jede mozilla session oder firefox session endet frueher ( innert minuten, nach 5-10 URLs / tabs ) oder später nach einigen dutzend URLs/tabs mit einem browser freeze up nur noch kill hilft natürlich verwende ich jeweils aktuellste versionen der browser software !! ähnliches mir thunderbird mail editor mitten im schreiben eines mails freeze up - so gut wie jedesmal diese probleme habe bei suse 9.1 vor ca 1.5 bis 2 monaten angefangen - vorher NIE und diese probleme gehen uach unter 9.2 unverändert weiter in beiden o.g. situation NUR jeweils die applikations-fenster freeze up - kein komplettes freeze up weiteres x-server problem - eventuell im gleichen zusammenhang ? neue USB mouse oder andere USB hardware wie wacom tablet habe vor kurzem eine neue mouse gekauft wenn YAST sie erkennt und das pop up kommt mit "new hardware discovered" do you want to configure ... wenn ich JA klicke -- dann sofort X-server crash jedesmal gleiches ist vor tagen passiert mit WACOM inutos2 tablet eingesteckt, hardware erkennung kommt mit pop-up wie oben klick ich ja, dann sofort x-server crash wie mit mouse könnte das daran liegen dass suse nun xorg statt x86free verwendet ? oder hat jemand anders äehnliches erfahren und gelöst suche in Google etc war bis jetzt erfolglos hilfe willkommen fröhliche Weihnachtszeit hans -- Cyberspace Ashram http://www.kriyayoga.com

KDE sounds {SOLVED}

As I mentioned, this is ONLY the >KDE sound notifications, nothing else, all other sound functions work >as usual. >TIA, >Lee ============ For all those that are having trouble with this and all those who responded, the problem seems to be solved. After recompiling the "arts" package from SuSE's src.rpm, my problem disappeared with the kde sounds not working. My guess is that whatever SuSE machine arts was compiled on, had something slightly different than we all have installed. Arts compiled with their files making some small incompatibility with our systems. Not the first time something of this nature has occurred, but easily fixable. Should anyone want the new rpms, send me a private mail and I'll be happy to upload to you or you can compile your own or you can wait for the next builds from SuSE, if that would please you more. Thanks for the responses & suggestions, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"

How smooth is the KDE update from the "supplementary branch"?
by Malte Gell 11 Dec '04

11 Dec '04

Hi there, I've never updated KDE from the supplementary branch on the ftp server so far and would like to give it a try, updating KDE 3.1.4 on SuSE 9.0 to 3.3. Do the packages from the supplementary KDE update break anything, e.g. susewathcer?

No 3th keyboard notation (after update to 3.3.2)
by Raphael Posmyk 10 Dec '04

10 Dec '04

Hi all, After update to the newest version of KDE (yast; supplemantary tree) i have problems with 3th notation on my keyboard (signs: @{[]}| ). When i start control center and do a dummy change of keyboardtype "Generic 104-keys" --> "Generic 104-keys" and then apply this change, the signs of the 3th notation are avalilable again. After i close a session and open a new one (logout+login), no signs for 3th notation are avaliable. So now i must after each login the dummy change in control center to have all signs. Cold someone reproduce it ? Ciao, Raphael PS: Sorry for my broken english :-|

kde 3.3.2 and SMB
by Andrew Colvin 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Have just installed the suse 8.2 updates to KDE 3.3.2. It seems that the SMB stuff is missing again from the rpm!!!! I downloaded the kdebase3-samba rpm for 9.2 and installed that to get the smb protocol working.

Network Configuration
by John Fuller 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I'm a new to linux. Have installed Suse 9.2 Pro and cannot browse the Windows network in my office. When I click the Network Browsing icon I see the Windows network. Clicking on the Windows icon gets me to my local Windows workgroup. The "@home network" ( my local workgroup) icon shows Type: Windows Workgroup, no owner, and permissions of dr-xr-xr-x. When I click that icon I get a message that Could not connect to host for smb://home network/ I've tried iwth Network Services enabled and disabled. I've read the documentation several times over, but cannot figure out what I have done wrong. Any ideas? Thanks. JFuller / Nashville

KDE vs. Gnome: Putting KDE In Charge
by Randall R Schulz 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi, This is a follow-on to my previous message / thread, "Gnome Application Appearance Under KDE." I've tried several of the suggestions given there, but none produce the desired results. For one thing, the appearance that was displayed by Gnome applications when run under KDE cannot (seem to be) replicated any more, regardless of which Gnome theme I select. Secondly, Gnome settings are affecting the appearance of KDE applications. And lastly, Gnome settings are not persistent, unless I place the following "gsd.desktop" file suggested by Trey Sizemore into "~/.kde/Autostart/": -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- [Desktop Entry] Name=gnome-settings-daemon Exec=gnome-settings-daemon \ --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon Terminal=false Type=Application -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- (As with Trey's post, the "Exec=" line wrapped in the email. I've signified that with the backslash, but I don't know offhand whether the KDE desktop file parser treats those as a shell would.) If I include this file, then the Gnome settings are activated upon KDE login, but I'm pretty sure this is not how things were working before the latest YaST-supplied updates (from the supplementary for 9.1 repository). I say that because with this .desktop file in the KDE Autostart directory, I see a taskbar tile corresponding to this application, but it just stays there displaying the "bouncing cursor" until the launch feedback times out. I never saw that before. The most salient effect (possibly the only one) that the establishment of the Gnome settings has is to shrink all the font displays _in KDE applications_. Perhaps this is due to Gnome altering the monitor resolution setting that had previously been in effect. While this makes Gnome applications appear in a more normal size (as in, more like what I was used to), it makes KDE applications display fonts too small. I can still read them and, of course, can reconfigure the applications, but I really don't want to do this. Does anyone have definitive information (or a reference to such information) on how KDE and Gnome interact? And most of all, can anyone tell me how to keep Gnome from affecting KDE? I really want KDE to be in charge and I need something better than the Gnome / GTK defaults that are now being displayed by Gnome applications when running under KDE. The old way was much to my liking and this new situation is barely tolerable. Thanks in advance for any information anyone can supply. Randall Schulz
