error in konquerror
by Christoph Dohmen 15 Mar '04

15 Mar '04

Hi all, I did an update this weekend from kde 3.2 to kde 3.2.1 on my suse 9.0 machine. Well, the worst thing is, links in html pages shown in konqui are no longer draggable objects :-( I can't drag a link from one shown page to another konqui window to open it in there? Is this just a disabled feature or an error? Chris -- Christoph Dohmen ChDohmen(a)gmx.de

KickerPager Window Dragging Configuration
by Vic Ayres 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

I like KickerPager but I don't like Window Dragging enabled. There's seems to be no way to make this setting "stick". The config file ~/.kde/share/config/kickerpagerrc doesn't seem to have an entry for this and my attempts to invent entries like "enableWindowDragging=false" don't work. Is there a way to set this permanently or do I just have to wait for a newer version? -- Vic Ayres

Fwd: Kaputte/Fehlende KDE 3.2.1 Pakete fuer SuSE 8.2

---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- Subject: Kaputte/Fehlende KDE 3.2.1 Pakete fuer SuSE 8.2 Date: Sonntag, 14. März 2004 22:06 From: Manfred Tremmel <Manfred.Tremmel(a)iiv.de> To: suse-multimedia(a)suse.com, suse-linux(a)suse.com Cc: feedback(a)suse.com Hallo Leute, da SuSE in letztere Zeit nicht mehr Willens oder in der Lage ist, die kompletten und funktionsfähigen SuSE 8.2 Pakete zu KDE auf ihrem Server anzubieten, hab ich mal die bekannten Macken rausgemacht und dort wo es hapert neue Pakete geschnürt. Das wären folgende Punkte: arts: ----- Es fehlt schlichtweg die benötigte 1.2.1er Version für SuSE 8.2, wurde neu aus dem Source-RPM von SuSE 9.0 compiliert. kdebase3-SuSE: -------------- Verträgt sich nicht mit dem neuen KDE, wurde aber keine neue Version bereitgestellt. Ich hab die SuSE-Window-Dekoration rausgepatched (das einzige, was mit dem neuen KDE nicht will) und die Version erhöht, um die Konflikte zu beseitigen. kdegraphics3: ------------- Für SuSE 8.2 gibt es kein ocrad (zumindestens hab ich keins gefunden), wird aber vom -scan Paket benötigt. Eine libexif.so.9 ist unter SuSE 8.2 nicht vorhanden ("nur" libexif.so.8), wird aber vom -scan und -kamera Paket benötigt. Die ocrad-Abhängigkeit hab ich auf SuSE > 8.2 begrenzt und das ganze unter einer wirklichen SuSE 8.2 neu compiliert, womit die Abhängigkeiten zur libexif passen. kdemultimedia3: --------------- Das Paket ist in Ordnung, habs trotzdem nochmal compiliert, mit nicht gesetztem distributeable Schalter, also voller lame unterstützung. Die Sachen sind zu finden unter ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/testing/SuSE_8.2_kde_3.2_missing ich will das nicht offiziell bei Packman reinstellen, da ich eigntlich keine Lust habe, die ganzen KDE-Geschichten UpToDate zu halten, aber vielleicht hilft es dem einen oder anderen, immerhin kamen hier in den Listen schon diverse Nachfragen. Wer in den SuSE-KDE-Listen subscribed ist, kann das ja mal weiterleiten, ich bins nicht. Ich hoffe das CC an feedback wird dort auch registriert, immerhin ziehen sich die Probleme mit den Paketen seit einiger Zeit hin (fehlendes arts seit 3.1.5 und die kdegraphics Probleme mindestens seit 3.2). -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de -- Um die Liste abzubestellen, schicken Sie eine Mail an: suse-linux-unsubscribe(a)suse.com Um eine Liste aller verfuegbaren Kommandos zu bekommen, schicken Sie eine Mail an: suse-linux-help(a)suse.com ------------------------------------------------------- -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Olaf Damerow Wer Rechtschreibfehler endeckt darf diese behalten.

KDE 3.2 in X-Win32 very slow
by Marc Lentwojt 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

Hello everybody, I just subscribed to this list, so please forgive me, if I am sending my problem to the wrong list, but I don`t think so. I recently updated my KDE to version 3.2 and now I notice some strange behaviour in my remote sessions. First, the text in the menu bar from kicker becomes thicker every second until it seems to be bold. Second, every application is displaying very slow in remote session. For example text scrolling the the konsole application is horrible, it is like working on a 386 computer. I testet different versions of X-Win32 to the new 6.0. All the same. I cannot remember having this issue with KDE 3.1. Every application writes to the display: Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display Any ideas ? Any help would be great. I searched many mailing lists, googled around, but found nothing about this... With kind regards Marc Lentwojt

My kicker is tired
by Matt T. 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

It started when I installed kde3.2. My kicker often does not react, and that includes all kicker applets, including kmenu and the taskbar. All other apps work fine, and immediately react on a mouseclick. Only kicker and it's children do nothing, no matter how often I click on them. kmenu does open, but when i click on an app in kmenu it often just does nothing. I have to hit escape to make kmenu dissapear, and try again, and again. Same to select an entry in klipper. Sometimes however kicker does not sleep and does react promptly. Now I upgraded to kde3.2.1, and it is somewhat better. Now kicker does not sleep that often, most of the time I can use it. But sometimes kicker still sleeps, only now kicker remembers what I clicked while he was sleeping, and when he wakes up, he reacts and quickly starts all requested actions. Again, all other apps are reacting instantly, and neither CPU nor memory are used to its limits. Any ideas how to kick this tired kicker in his ass to make him stop sleeping? Thanks, Matt

KDE 3.2.1 + Sound ?
by Christian Müller 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

Hello, I've updated my SuSE 9.0 (KDE 3.1.4) to KDE 3.2.1 with Yast over a FTP server. But now, I have some trouble with sound under KDE and it doesn't work anymore. Whenever I want to configure the sound system in the control center of KDE, the control center craches. Where can I find error messages that help to find out the reason for the crash? Are there any known problems with KDE 3.2.1 and sound systems (ALSA, OSS, arts) ? Thanks for your help, Christian

Re: USB

Hi Will, ... first, if you hit the reply button in your Yahoo web mail interface, then please edit the recipient address to be the mailing list. The mailing list is configured to make reply-to's go to the originator of the message and not the list. I will not start the discussion about the pros and cons again. Simply please put the mailing list's address "suse-kde(a)suse.com" in the "To:" field. Please. Thanks. :-) > Hi, I am new to linux 9.0 do you know which directory > would show my file on a usb flash device ? ... as for your question, you will have to mount the drive somewhere. Again, as with local X server access control, there are different ways to do that. Do you have the "SusePlugger" running? If not then start the darn thing. It has a number of disadvantages but it's definitely a great newbie tool. ;-) Once, SusePlugger is there, connect your USB flash drive to the computer. If everything works well then you should see an icon on your desktop after a few seconds. If it's there then open it and Linux will try to mount it. If this succeeds then you can drag&drop files from and to the drive. You see there's a lot "if"s up there. Following my experience, things can go terribly wrong with USB flash media of any type. If the above procedure works for you then be happy. If it does not then I need a detailed description of what you did and what messages you received. If you're as unlucky with your drive as I am with my mp3 stick then you may even end up unloading and reloading kernel modules to make the darn thing work... Let's hope this is not the case. Also, view the mountpoint where the drive mounts (in case it does at all) with the "df" command in a shell window. You might also try "df -hT" which makes the output slightly more human readable. Hope this helps. -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster(a)gmx.net
