Check to see if your dsl modem doesn't also actually have a router built into it. Read the modem manual (should be available online if you didn't get one from your provider.) If it does have an internal router, try using the external router strictly like a hub (no monkeying with the ip addresses or traffic.) I think if you do this and configure via dhcp your problem will go away. have a good night! - Carl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - C. E.

Thumbnail view gone after ungraceful shutdown
by elefino 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

All, Where should I be looking to restore the thumbnail previews in Konq for .jpg and other image files? Previously, I was able to view folders of images and see each file represented by a small version of the full image. This required some system resources, but allowed me to quickly browse large numbers of images and to select among similar and similarly named files, without opening each one, to see what was in it. Then my system (SuSE 9, KDE 3.2.0) froze and my wife had to reboot (could not get to a console for orderly shutdown). Upon restart, there was some corruption and a prompt telling me to log in as root and run "mount -n -o remount,rw /" ...... which I did. KDE came back, and most things seem to work, but now Konqueror shows image files all with the same (uninformative) camera icon. I've toggled every switch I could find in "Settings", but I can't get Konq to show image files as large-icon thumbnails anymore. What should I try next? Is there additional info that I could provide that might indicate what is broken? Thanks, /kevin

After installation of gnome no more sound on kde
by Alexander Beck-Ratzka 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Hello list, I've problem with the sound on my KDE desktop which has arised after the installation of the gnome package. First of all. I am using SuSE Linux 9.0, and KDE and gnome from this distribution. After the installation of the gnome package I've first noticed that the login.wav hasn't been played during login to KDE. Furthermore I have no bell sound in the kvt terminals and other KDE applications. Opening xterm, bell sound appears again, as well as in Xemacs. As a second step I went to the KDE control center, where I found that everything as it should be. The sound server should be started, when KDE starts. I've achieved to get thesystem bell to be played again, by setting under sound->system bell in the control center "use system bell..." to true. But whenever I want to get a "*.wav" dataset to be played in sound->system notification, I her nothing :-( Does anyone have an idea? Thank's in advance! Alexander

Adding Gnome Session To GUI Startup
by Dave Barton 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

Under KDE 3.1.x the Control Center had an option "System Administration -> Sessions -> Session Type", where session types could be added or removed. This appears to be missing from KDE 3.2.x (IMHO a retrograde step). Can anyone suggest how to add a session type (ie. Gnome) to kdm? TIA Dave -- Registered Linux User #288562 http://counter.li.org

User Cannot Access Control Center
by Dave Barton 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I have a box with SuSE 8.0 + KDE 3.1.2 installed. Root & 2 users can access Control Center normally, but a 3rd user opens a blank (except for welcome screen) Control Center. Other than deleting and recreating the user, does anyone have any suggestions how I can restore Control Center access for this user? TIA Dave -- Registered Linux User #288562 http://counter.li.org

Re: [suse-kde] Command for new session in KDE?
by Daniel Eckl 12 Apr '04

Then you misunderstood the question. The question was to start a new X session with the kdm login manager _without_ using kde. Indeed the questionaire is using fluxbox instead of kde. The number of simultaneous sessions is not limited by the number of processors, but by the amount of free RAM. So for the list a compendium of all the info we got so far: You can start another session with another Windowmanager by opening up a terminal (konsole, xterm etc) and type WINDOWMANAGER="<windowmanager>" startx -- :<VT> Where <windowmanager> can be kde, gnome, fluxbox, blackbox, fvwm, fvwm2, etc. pp. depending on what you have installed. <VT> can be a number bigger than 0. You can switch between the sessions with [CTRL]-[ALT]-F7, F8, F9, etc So you can start up the sessions with this methos and choose the Windowmanager. But you can not fire up kdm (or gdm or xdm or any other login manager) to let another user log in with his username and password. So your description of how to start a new session _when using KDE at the moment_ is absolutely helpless, because this is what the quesionaire was knowing already and wanted to copy with _another_ windowmanager.

kde doesn't start - destroyed .kde
by Rudolf Schuh 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Yesterday I switched on my laptop (SuSE 9.0), all as usual, KDE started to about 90 percent and froze suddenly. There was no other possibility than switching the laptop off using the power-off-switch. This was the first time KDE froze in that way. After that I wanted to start my laptop again, I put in my password and pressed return. A popup window told me that the DCOPserver did not run and I have to start it before. Then I looked into my home directory using mc and was rather surprised: ?.kde │ 0│ 01. Jan 1970 ?.kde.save │ 0│ 01. Jan 1970 The same (size 0, Date 01. Jan 1970 and a ? in front of the name) was with the directories qt, skel, Desktop and Mail! There is no way to delete this files. All my Mails and kde-preferences are gone! It seems that "only" this files of this user are destroyed. I installed another user at the same laptop and kde started without problems. Does someone know a possibility to get the destroyed directories back? My last backup of this files was from the middle of march. Rudi

sound problems in kde -- solved!

Apparently, one needs to open up kmix and disable "external amplifier power down" (this is normally relevant only to laptops). Weird "feature" :) Dumitru
