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

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

Henk Yes I did, everything is normal and has the right settings. As I mentioned, all I need to do is reactivate apply in the sound control panel area and it works. No additional action is needed, no changing of sound levels. Really weird I think. Maybe someone knows which scripts are called when the apply button is pressed? Sabine

Question regarding sound
by Sabine Konhaeuser 26 Jun '04

26 Jun '04

Hi Everyone, I think this happens after I a) upgraded to the new Kernel (SuSE 9.1, 2.5.x) or b) got the latest KDE release (3.2.3) When I start and log in, I can't hear any sound. I have to open the Control Panel, go to Sound and Multimedia - Sound System. To be able to click apply I have to make whatever change, undo it, click apply and bingo... sound is back. No other change is needed. When I check before I go through the procedure, artsd is running. First I thought it might not have been started. I tried this (http://portal.suse.com/sdb/de/2004/05/thallma_91_sndsilence.html or http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/thallma_91_sndsilence.html) but it didn't help. The only thing that makes the sound audible is the procedure described above. Does anyone have an idea where to look? It's somewhat annoying to manually start this everytime. On my laptop I don't have this problem (Dell Inspirion 1100). My desktop is a selfmade system (Athlon based), the soundchip uses Crystal Sound Fusion CS46xx. Thanks, -- Sabine

RE: [suse-kde] Integrating applications with KDE Desktop
by Keith, Todd 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I found that the reason adding $MYAPP/share to KDEDIRS doesn't work as expected under SUSE is that KDEDIRS is unset in SUSE's modified version of the startkde script (/opt/kde3/bin/startkde), which, of course, is executed after a user's .profile is read. Changing KDEDIRS after KDE is already started has no effect. If I undo SUSE's change to the startkde script, everything works as documented for KDEDIRS. Why does SUSE modify KDE's startkde script in this way? Makes no sense to me. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks! TAK

Integrating applications with KDE Desktop
by Keith, Todd 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

Using Suse 9 with KDE 3.2. Is there any way to integrate an application (menu shortcuts, file associations, etc) with a user's KDE destop which does NOT involve any copying or linking of desktop files and icons to /opt/kde3/share/... or $HOME/.kde/share/... or anywhere else. In other words, can a user simply expand the search path for desktop integration files to more than these directories? On Redhat 9 with KDE 3.1, for example, we use the KDEDIRS path variable to do this, so that the desktop files, icons etc only reside in our application installation directory $MYAPP/share/... and a user only needs to append $MYAPP/share to their KDEDIRS path variable, if they want to integrate our application with their KDE desktop. This makes desktop integration (or nonintegration), uninstallation, updating of our app more manageable both for us and users. The KDEDIRS approach doesn't seem to work with SUSE 9 and KDE 3.2. Is there another way? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! TAK

drives:/ folder is no longer accessible
by bjolinx 23 Jun '04

23 Jun '04

(this is a newby question) Hi to all linux-fans out there, somehow I managed to break a part of my kde configuration: since a couple of days I am no longer able to access the drives:/-URL which is linked with the "Arbeitsplatz"-Icon (I don't know how this Icon is named in english versions - desktop?). If I try to open my "Arbeitsplatz" a shell-Window pops up and disappears instantly. Thereafter a Konqueror-window opens with the error message "Beim Laden von drives:/ ist folgender Fehler aufgetreten: Die Übermittlung von Daten aus drives ist leider nicht möglich." (~ following error occured while accessing drives:/ : transmission of data from drives:/ was not possible) It has to do with my personal kde-configuration as the same drives:/-folder of a secondary account of mine (which I never reconfigured after installation) is working fine. So I don't believe that I messed up some global system settings. I tried to figure things out by comparing (diff) the .kde/share/config contents of both accounts, but nothing caught my eye. As I am (very!) new to linux I am not familiar with the KIO_things of life... and I wasn't able yet to make sense out of the information I got from google. As I did some lengthly customizing of my kde (ok... most of it had to do with colors, fonts and the like...) I dislike the thought of throwing it all away. So I would appreciate any suggestion. many thanks and viele Grüße Bernd Johannes

"Quicklaunch" icon size
by H du Plooy 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi all, I have two questions. Somewhere in a linux magazine (can't remember which, unfortunately) I saw a KDE 3.x screenshot that looked as follows. Kicker size was roughly "large," but in the default layout, the icons between the k-menu icon and the desktop pager was only half size, sort of the size they would be if kicker size was set to "small," and there were two rows, one above the other. I cannot remember if the k-menu icon was smaller too, I would imagine so. Anyone know how I can do this? Also, I have six virtual desktops. The desktop pager shows me two rows of three desktops. If I want to change this to, say, nine desktops, is there a way to get the pager to show three rows of three? Thanks! Hans

Upgrading to 3.2.3 with YaST
by John Quentin Heywood 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

I've seen the rpms to update KDE 3.2.2 for SuSE 9.1 to KDE 3.2.3, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it using YaST's System Update tool, like I did to upgrade to 3.2.2. I have the /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/Update_for_9.1/yast-source from one of the mirrors set up as an installation source, but System Update can't seem to find anything new to install. Any ideas? -- John Quentin Heywood heywood(a)speakeasy.net

Konqueror browser and Javascript
by Mike McCallister 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hi folks! Am having problems putting Javascript bookmarklets on my Konqueror 3.1.4 toolbar. Has anyone succeeded in doing so? Feel free to try out these examples. Example 1: www.hyperlinkomatic.com This site lets you combine your myriad bookmark lists in one easily accessible location, and then lets you add new bookmarks by way of a Javascript "Grabber" tool. Unfortunately, when trying to drag/drop the tool to the toolbar, Konqi won't let me drop it. I also tried adding the script to the toolbar via Edit Bookmarks; I could add the bookmark, but clicking it produced a 'Protocol not supported: javascript' error message. Example 2: www.bloglines.com This web-based RSS newsfeed aggregator gives Konqi all kinds of grief. Displaying feeds results in "A script on this page is causing KTHML to freeze....' with a request to abort. (This is an improvement over earlier versions, where Konqi just died) Trying to add the 'Easy Subscribe' to a newsfeed script runs into the same problem as above (can't drop). Thanks for any advice you can offer!

ROOT: Konqueror problem
by Laurent 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

Hi there! I have a problem with Konqueror (File Browser) when logged in as root: when I click on an directory Icon to enter that directory, I get the error message: "There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with inode/directoy, but it can't handle this file type." But filling in the directory path in the adress bar does not give any error?? At the same time, when I access the "/" directory by filling in the adress bar, Konqueror locks up fir about 15 secs before showing the content. Is it a bug or an installation error or a configuration error? Using Konqueror as user, there is no problem at all....

Konqueror & KHTML problem
by Bojan Hribernik 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

This is my first message to mailing list... so if i did something wrong, let me know :) I messed with the file associations configuration and now when I try to open a web page in Konqueror as root I get the following message: /"There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated Konqueror with text/html, but it can't handle this file type." /I've checked the text/html embedded settings and have noticed that KHTML is missing. I tried to add it but it's not there?!?! It's gone. I have searched the google and numerous forums but did not find a solution. This only happens @root. Other users have KHTML in embedding tag and Konqueror works fine. @root it's missing and i can't add it because it's not listed in KDE Control Module. picture <http://freeweb.siol.net/bhriber4/khtml.jpg> Any ideas?

How do you get KPPP to work properly on the KDE on suse 9.1
by Michael, Nick N 14 Jun '04

I like KPPP it seems like a very nice program for an Internet dialup. However I am a bit frustrated with SuSE 9.1 I had previously installed 8.2 and had KPPP installed as my Internet dialer which never worked well but it did work however KPPP does not work on SuSE 9.1 I dial out to my service provider , the modems connect and then the connec tion is severed and I get this error: Jun 13 22:53:08 linux pppd[9105]: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp: No such file or directory I formated my hard disk and reinstalled SuSE 9.1 freshly and added KPPP again when I tried to dial out to my service provider , the modems connect and then the connection is severed again and I get the same error What do we do now? Have you ever got SuSE 9.1 to establish a connection to the Internet? How ?

Switching desktops
by sinan kaptanoglu 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

I have a simple question, to which I could not find any answer in Suse documents, either paper, or online. Any way here is the question: how do I switch from one desktop to another? I was very unhappy with the Suse User Guide which talks about Kde and Gnome both for 20 pages, but it never tells you how to switch from one to another. First and foremost I want to know how to switch the default desktop environment to Gnome, which some users prefer. I personally would like to use both, and switch between them at will, if this is possible. Two other users want the Enlightenment Desktop. I could download that and install it, but I just don't know how to switch between desktops, and one additional desktop will only make my problem worse. If you can help, I would be very grateful. Best regards to all, -sinan

Konqueror and overlib (revisited)
by James Mohr 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

Hi All! It seems that Konqueror 3.1.4 **still** has some problems with overlib (which is used for all sorts of neat mouseover features). On my Linux tutorial, I used it for popup glossary entries. The problem is that the popups appear progressively high in the browser until eventually they are no longer visible. Here are two examples of where this problem appears. http://www.linux-tutorial.info/cgi-bin/display.pl?2&0&0&0&3 http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ This works fine on Mozilla 1.4, IE 6 and worked in previous versions of Konqueror (what I had with SuSE 8.1,, 3.0.1 I believe). After upgrading to SUSE 8.2, it stopped working. Now I have Suse 9.0 and Konqueror 3.1.4 and the problems remain. It seems that the problem only starts when I scroll down and the konqueor is not calculating the corredinates correctly. When I am at the top of the page, the popup works correctly. That is, the popup appears to the lower right of the link. But the further I move down, the higher up and away the popup appears until it is no longer visible. Since this popup mechansism is an important part of my web site, I am anxious to get this problem solved. Is there any logical reason for assuming that it is not a problem with Konqueror, and all of the other browsers do not behave correctly? Any help is greatly appreaciated.

navigation in kmail
by Michael Schachtebeck 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

Hi, maybe I don't see the wood for the trees, but is there any way to switch to the previous / next message using the cursor up / down keys in kmail as it works for example in mozilla? If I press one of these keys, the view of the currently selected message is scrolled up or down, even if I select a mail header with the mouse. In mozilla, if you click in the display of the current message, cursor up / down scrolls up / down the text of the current message, and if you click on a header of a message in the message list, cursor up / down scrolls up / down the message list...

KDE Menu entries too big
by Sabine Konhaeuser 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

Hi everyone, Mabe someone here can push me in the right direction. I just updated my two computers (laptop and desktop) to Suse 9.1 and then to KDE 3.2.3. On my laptop the Kmenu entries have the regular, small size. But on my desktop the icons are rather big (I'd say 22px), which makes it quite ugly (personal opinion) and the whole list gets huge. How can I change the icon and text size to be smaller? I need to do this only for the Kmenu, not the other areas. I looked around, but couldn't find anything that made a difference. If that's of any importance: I use the Plastic theme and Noia icons.

Problematic remember last type of login feature for KDE 3.2.X & SuSE 9.1
by Mike Blonder 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

Hello. IMHO adding an "Administration" button (just bringing up YaST2) to the login screen for KDE 3.2.X for SuSE 9.1 is a poor decision. KDE login remembers the last type of login and, should the user click on the "Administration" button, then the next login for the user will produce the YaST2 start page. Hence, if you want X Windows for a root session, and you last hit the "Administration" button then your next root X session will be no more than a visit to the YaST2 start page. We suffered a power outage today. One of our SuSE 9.1 systems crashed. When the system came back up I attempted to start an X session as root. The above scenario bit me and I spent a useless hour trying to repair a system that wasn't broken at all; rather, the last session was an "Administration" session. Finally, I stumbled on the drop down box that let me change the session type and all was fine. Just my two cents. I'd get rid of the "Administration" button from login or better label it. Mike

I had to ditch KPilot because of major synchronization bugs with the calendaring.

Anyway, I removed kpilot, installed gpilot (plus evolution to be safe) and ran gpilot. Every time I get "Application "gpilotd" (process 10991) has crashed due to a fatal error.

undeletable mounted cd,dvd, floppy icons :(

Hi, after upgrading from Suse 8.2 to 9.1 I have a strange problem: There are three mounted icons of (all '/' are gone): devfd0mediafloppy devdvdmediadvd devdvdrammediadvdram I can't delete them as I'd like too because I have those under the new 'Arbeitsplatz' folder which I like better. I (as user) can't even umount them: I get this popup: umount: Nur »root« kann /dev/dvdram von /media/dvdram aushängen Please check that the disk is entered correctly. (yes a bilingual message). ok, I tried as root 'umount /dev/fd0' which delets the entry in mtab and changed the mounted icon to the umounted icon - fine - but still I can't delete them from the desktop - AND as soon as I restarted the pc they are mounted again. Not needed to be mentioned that all three devices are empty all the time! Any hint, how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance, Carl

german umlauts and special characters missing
by Mario Streiber 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

Hi all, this is maybe a bit OT, but I'm not sure, any help would be appreciated. I have SuSE 8.1 with KDE 3.2.1. Recently I have done an upgrade of GLIB/GTK (with the sources from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.4 as there are no newer SuSE RPM's for 8.1). Since then I have a problem with Opera which does no longer display german umlauts or special characters, but only in the web pages. Characters like these are fine in opera menus etc. You may wonder why I post this here and not on the opera mailing list? Because I think it might have to do with qt which is used by opera, just like KDE does. As a side note, konqueror does not have this problem. I further noticed that some pages with such characters are fine. The difference is that an "ä" is not displayed, while "ä" is displayed correctly as "ä". But there are a lot of german webpages which just use "ä" in the html code... Does anyone have a hint what can cause such a problem? How can a GTK update cause a problem with an application which does not use it? Mario

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I just finished updated KDE to 3.2.2 with apt. Now when I click on a rpm to install I get this error message in Konq. "There was an error loading the module KRPMView. The diagnostics is: /lib/librt.so.1: symbol __librt_disable_asynccancel, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference" Is there anyway to fix this so that Konq. will launch Yast to install the rpm.

Can someone tell me how to get rid of this? - SuSE 9.1 - KDE 3.2.1 - Kontact 0.8.1 - KaddressBook 3.2.1 Best Regards, Torsten -- - "Are ya ready Steve? Mick? Andy?

accessibility
by Brad Bourn 03 Jun '04

I just found out that apparently mousekeys is active in SuSE 9.1 (at least on the 64bit version, haven't tested 32bit). I couldn't find any documentation for mousekeys or any reference to it in control center. <-- I can't believe that! Anyway, from googling the issue, I found a couple references to accessX. As I was reading about this software, looking for most recent - best solution, came accross a document that suggested accessx might be incorporated into XFree 4.02 +. Said to enable mousekeys, hold left-shif, left-alt, and num lock to enable. Sure enough! Thought is should be allot easier to find out how to enable such a simple MOST NEEDED feature. FYI B-)

root login disabled for kdm
by Baks 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

I'm running suse 9.0 with kde 3.1.4 that comes with suse. I recently changed the file permissions in Yast from easy to secure. Since then I have failed to login kde as root though I can login as root on the console. I changed the permission back to easy but still I can't login as root. I've seen similar cases on the mailinglists but all solution they are giving are not helping me, i.e., /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc should be a simbolic link to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I also checked that I have AllowRootLogin=true in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. I don't know if there is anything more I need to check. Baks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

kmenuedit as non-root user doesn't accept edits
by Allen Wilkinson 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

Folks, I have a new install of Suse 9.1 Professional with KDE 3.2.1 In setting up my Kmenu across the bottom of the screen I want to add some programs to the Kmenu. I start the menu editor and make the entries and save the results. The editor did create the files: ${HOME}/.config/menu/applications-kmenuedit.menu ${HOME}/.local/share/applicaitons/LyX.desktop as KDE doc say it should. The entries however do not appear in the Kmenu when I am a user other than root. If I do the same from a root session and the edits do appear in the Kmenu for root, but still not for the non-root user. It seems KDE for non-root users does not look for anything but the stock Kmenu. Can you point me to any fixes?

Can't find YaST
by Mike Blonder 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hi. I've downloaded the RPMs from SuSE to upgrade KDE to 3.2 from the 3.14 that ships with SuSE 9.0. I cannot finish installing the .RPMs as once I installed kdebase3 and removed old konqueror, kate, etc KDE 3.2 lost YaST as default installer for .rpm files. Anyone know the x app to call for YaST2? It appeared to be /sbin/YaST2 but it isn't working. I get the prompt to enter admin password, but nothing happens from then on. Alternatively, does anyone know the shell syntax for rpm to remove old conflicting copies as well as to install the new apps, etc? I am using rpm -ivh <file>.rpm it tells me the conflicting files but then bombs. Thanks Mike
