konqueror error
by min6 30 Jun '04

30 Jun '04

Hi All, First I want to say that I'm new to this list and actually new to Suse at all... I hope my request fits the netiquette down here, if not I'm very sorry :) I use Suse 9.0 professional for about a month now, and after installing a new icon-set (?? that's really what I did before the problems did start), I get the following error message when I start Konqueror, and some others when I start some specific functions in Yast2. I include the Konqueror-error in this post, if you want to see the other errors I can send them to you. I really hope you can help me with this! #0 0x411dbfd6 in waitpid () from /lib/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x406bed30 in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler(int) () from /opt/kde3/lib/libkdecore.so.4 #2 0x411dabb1 in

Various KDE 3.2.3 bugs
by Colin Pinkney 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

Hi there, I have upgraded to SuSE 3.2.3 with the SuSE supplementary packages on SuSE 9.0 Pro and while a few bugs disappeared, I seem to be collecting more and was wondering if these were known KDE bugs or are specific to the SuSE packages and if anyone knows of fixes. I haven't seen anyone post anything on this mailing list for the following problems (sorry if I missed any postings): 1) The submenu arrows on my k menu seem to be clipped. See screenshot: http://www.cpinkney.org.uk/images/kmenu.png I noticed I had kdebase 3.2.1 installed for a while when the rest of the kdebase packages were 3.2.3 and the k menu was actually drawn correctly then, strangely. But as soon as I upgraded kdebase to 3.2.3 the menu started getting clipped again. It's as if the 'Most/Last Used Applications' title is pushing the menu width out of the drawn area and I don't know why it was fine when kdebase 3.2.1 was installed. 2) Klipper doesn't seem to save the clipboard contents when I exit KDE. If I explicitely quit klipper, then it saves the clipboard contents, but it seems as though klipper is getting killed off rather than closed when I exit KDE. 3) New windows appear under the current window with the focus, including a karamba window, and the taskbar button for the new window flashes but it does not get the focus. It used to be that new windows always appeared on top and got the focus. This is really annoying, especially for dialog windows and I'm sure it was working properly after upgrading to KDE 3.2.3 and has only just started happening. I haven't upgraded X windows at all and in the KDE control panel I have set focus to follow mouse with autoraise after 700ms, plus I have smart window placement on, which is how it was set when it worked properly. 4) Fairly frequently but not always, when filling in web forms with konqueror, before I get a chance to start typing in a text box and only give the box the keyboard focus, konqueror will freeze up for about 10 seconds, but the CPU is not busy. konqueror doesn't freeze up in any other situation and didn't do before KDE 3.2.2. 5) Although I have the sound notification setup in kget to make a sound when a download starts and finishes, I don't get anything on the finish and only get a sound on the start. This hasn't worked for a long while actually, maybe never. 6) karamba always crashes when I exit KDE. I have a simple karamba theme setup to act just like the X Windows root-tail utility which works fine, but crashes on exiting KDE. This is more of a curious annoyance than anything but didn't happen with KDE 3.2.2. Thanks for getting this far. I would appreciate even knowing if other people are having the same issues and better still, if anyone has any fixes. Regards, -- Colin Pinkney http://www.cpinkney.org.uk

kdm
by hg＠schnupus.de 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

I cannot log in into KDE any more. All I get is KDM showing the accounts but it is not possible to enter the passwords in the appropriate field. There is definetely no problem with the keyboard as it is possible to fill-in the account field with the use of the keyboard. This effect did not happen after an update or the installation of new patches but out of the blue after using the computer with different software and a regular shutdown. I am using SuSE 9.1 with KDE 3.2.3 and the newest patches from SuSE. I would very much appreciate your help. Regards Hans

alsa sound and multiple sessions
by Bojan Hribernik 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

SuSE Linux 9.1 personal, kernel 2.6.xx, KDE 3.2.1... I have Intel 82801DB-ICH4 sound card. It works, I can hear the sound. I have 3 users: root, first_user, second_user. Now here's the problem. CASE 1: for example, if I start first session as first_user I can hear the sound, there's KAMix in systray and everything is fine. Then if I start new (second) session as second_user the sound is gone. If I try to open KAMix it gives me error: "direct access to sound device not possible" no soundcard available or sound not configured yet. In control center - sound system, the sound is enabled ... but... then if I start another (third) session as root everything is ok. KAMix loads, sound works, I can change configuration, mute sound.... CASE 2: if i start first session as root everything is ok. then if i start second session eather as first or second user... sound does not work. both users are members of audio group. what's the catch??? what am I missing here??? thanx for your answers

So when I kill artsd (killall artsd) and restart it, sound works, but I get the following error message: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:494:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe Killing artsd again: sound keeps working and artsd started itself again. In order to get sound, I need to kill artsd and restart it. Is this something that has to do with the error message? I actually don't know what it means. Any help is appreciated. -- Sabine
