KDE - instant reboot
by Stefan Achatz 25 Mar '04

25 Mar '04

Hello, I'm working with SuSE 9.0 for months now and I had always problems with sporadic system freezes when closing the xserver [1] and the appropriate data loss of reiserfs. After trying out everything written on various lists, I found out that the real reason should have been reiserfs [2]. So i granted myself a complete new install on an ext3 filesystem. Different filesystem, different error: The hangs at closing x are gone, only to change into a instant reboot of the system. Every time I want to halt, reboot or just want to login as a different user via the kde menu the system instantly reboots. As usual i found nothing in the logs. Can anybody help me? Thanks in Advance Stefan [1]http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Mar/0078.html [2]http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Mar/0196.html

Did you try noapic option ?? just type noapic at grub prompt.

I made minimal kernels with or without direct rendering extension, framebuffer and removed everything i dont need. I shortened the init prozess, so the videocard has its irq for her own. And I tried out various boot parameters (i.e. desktop and the acpi ones). All with no effect, but without acpi i have immense Problems concerning the irq's. so I have to use full acpi support.

Button in the KDE-Menu and get to the window with the three options to choose from: reboot, shutdown or relogin. Independent from what i choose the system is instantly down. When i say instantly, i mean theres no change in the runlevel. Just -zack- and i see the biosscreen. And having the obvious problems with data not written to the filesystem. If i change the runlevel or call halt or reboot from console, i have no problems at all. Besides, the Hardware is a Sony Vaio Notebook PCG-GRT786M. And everything else is working flawless. Stefan

[suse-kde] rio500 mp3 player does not work after upgrade from Suse 8.2 to 9.
by Marc Wolf 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Since I upgraded from Suse 8.2 to 9.0, I'm not able to use my Rio500 mp3 player. I'm using the software present on: http://rio500.sourceforge.net/ but for some reason after formatting the memory, I'm not able to add/delete songs anymore. Do you use Suse 9.0 and still have rio500 working or other suggestions, please let me know. Regards, -- Marc -- Marc Wolf Waterhoen 14 3831 HV Leusden mailto:marc@magevesa.demon.nl

Empty Control Center
by Dave Barton 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

On SuSE 8.0 KDE 3.1.2 Control Center has suddenly lost track of all modules. The window opens and shows the welcome panel on the right, but the "index" and "search" tabs are empty. The "help" tab reads: "There is no quick help available for the active control module. Click here to read the general Control Center manual." I have not recently updated KDE or any KDE programs. Can anyone offer any suggestions about how to help Control Center recover from this sudden bout of amnesia. TIA Dave -- Registered Linux User #288562 http://counter.li.org

Kpilot + KOrganizer
by Dan Weisenstein 24 Mar '04

I'm running KDE 3.1.4. I have Kpilot running successfully, syncing with my Palm Pilot. I have one problem however. If KOrganizer is running, the conduit won't sync, saying KOrganizer is running. Won't sync To-Do either. I have to close KOrganizer to get it to sync. Is this normal? Thanks- Dan

KDE - Roll back to 3.1.4
by Dan Weisenstein 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Running 9.0. After upgrading to KDE 3.2 on two systems, I have some problems that I just can't resolve. I did not remove kdebase3-SuSE on either system. One system works fine (my test system of course) and my main system is the one with problems. I had none of the following problems under 3.1.4. 1) Firefox keeps freezing, leaving zombie or dead processes resulting in blank windows on the desktop. 2) Sound no longer works 3) Local Network browsing no longer works (SMB) 4) Printing sometimes freezes the entire system 5) The system is basically unstable Anyone else have these problems and resolved them? Although I really don't want to, to go back to KDE 3.1.4, do I have to remove 3.2 (via YaST? and from a different window manager like FVWM) and then re-install 3.1.4 from the CD's? Anything else I have to do like removing profiles or ? Thanks- Dan

Kontact 0.8 and kpilot under 3.1.4
by Dan Weisenstein 23 Mar '04

23 Mar '04

Has anyone installed just Kontact 0.8 and it's components under KDE 3.1.4? After my brief experience with 3.2.1, I really fell in love with the integrated calendar, address, to-do and notes. But, I had to go back to 3.1.4 because of severe stability problems. I dl'd Kontact 0.8 and checked dependencies and, according to yast it needs: libkresources.so.1 libkdgantt.so.0 Are these part of a library package? Can they be extracted and used without installing the entire 3.2.1 library package (assuming that's where they are)? Or will I get into a never ending cascade of dependencies? Thanks- Dan
