YaST to Upgrade KDE
by Gord Berta 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

I have tryed a number of ways to 'edit' the Online Update server to point it to the KDE 3.2 directories. Without any success. I would rather not install the apt4 to do this, and wondered if I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any detailed help is appreciated to get kde 3.2 installed on my 9.0 system. Thanks Gord.

Re: [suse-kde] kde 3.2.1

Ok, after a lot of trouble I managed to get my users working. Deleting the .kde directory does not seem to be necessary, however, the whole bunch of .x-files in the home directory need to be erased. For those having the same problem: that's the solution. And now I can enjoy my kde 3.2.1.. Regards, Udo

Hi list, Ok, it seems that I am one of the first to have installed kde 3.2.1 on my Suse 8.1 box. First of all, the Suse team did a great job. Installation went much smoother compared to 3.2.0. However !!!! I am not able to log in as user !!! What the hell happened now ?? Here is the kdm.log ---> XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

So I created a new user, where I was able to log in. KDE started up, showing error messages concerning dcop, could not write kdeglobals, etc. and then I was on the login screen again. But, I am a happy man, I still can login as root and this without any error message ! Help will be highly appreciated... Regards, Udo

Using Internet Shortcuts with Konqueror
by Mike 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Hello. KDE version is 3.1.4. OS is SuSE 9.0. I attempted to simply type in gg or google in the URL frame and got nowhere. How do I enable internet shortcuts so that I can initiate a search (with, in my case, google) directly from the URL frame? Thanks Mike

DCOPServer problem. kde does not start.
by P C 07 Mar '04

07 Mar '04

Hello, I recently installed Suse 9.0 on my system. It was running fine, until I tried the online update through Yast. The computer completely froze during the online update. I had no choice but to reboot the computer. When the computer started I got the following error. There was an error setting up inter-process communication for KDE. The message returned by the system was Could not read network connection list. /home/poorav/DCOPServer_localhost__0 Please check the DCOPServer is running. I have tried a couple of things here so far. I changed the permissions of /tmp/.ICE-Unix. Another peculiar behaviour I am noticing is that I don't have a .kde folder in my home folder. but if i try to create one by simply typing mkdir .kde, i get a 'permission denied' error. I can't create or see the .kde folder in my home directory even when I am logged in as a root. root cannot create the .kde directory either. Please help me and figure out this problem I am still new to linux and am learning. _________________________________________________________________ Find things fast with the new MSN Toolbar includes FREE pop-up blocking! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200414ave/direct/01/

konqueror and audiocd:/
by Mario Streiber 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi all, I'm searching for an easy way to rip audio CD's and read that konqueror can do this, by simply typing audiocd:/ in the address bar. With kde 3.1 I got an error message which I don't remember, but now, with kde 3.2 the mouse pointer changes to the clock and nothing more. I once waited long enough and there came a message "file not found" but that might be because I opened the drive when I realized that my system was under heavy load caused by konqueror. My system is SuSE 8.1 with KDE 3.2, a CD-ROM and a CD-RW drive installed. There is no problem playing an audio CD with xmms, no matter which drive it is in. What's wrong here? Regards Mario
