-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I am trying to set up a printer using web min. However when I go to add the printer, it asks for the username and password. I enter root, then root's password. It then comes back and tells me Authentication failed. I have tried this while logged in as user and root. I have tried it using Konq. and also firefox still the same results. Can someone help me trouble shoot this problem. I am running SuSE 9.1 and KDE 3.2.2.Thanks for your help. - -- Yours, Ralph.

GPilot broken
by Eric Jahn 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

I had to ditch KPilot because of major synchronization bugs with the calendaring. These are being resolved as I understand it, but I have heard (and know from my own experience with both) that gpilot is much better than kpilot at this point. 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. (Segmentation fault)" when syncing with USB. Anyone else see this? -Eric

undeletable mounted cd,dvd, floppy icons :(
by Gooly 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

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

Problem with KDE 3.2.2, need help rpm install broken Konq.
by Ralph De Witt 07 Jun '04

-----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.

accessibility
by Brad Bourn 04 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 02 Jun '04

02 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
