kde3.3 and k3b problem
by Andrew Colvin 17 Sep '04

17 Sep '04

Having just updated to kde3.3 including the new cvs version of k3b I have found that my scsi cdwriter is only detected as a reader. When I regress the k3b package back to version 0.11.9 from the new 0.11.14cvs All my drives are detected properly (ide dvdrom as dvdrom, scsi cdwriter as cdr(w), ide dvdwriter as dvdram,dvd+-r, dvd+-rw). Has anybody else had this problem?

KDE 3.3 Devices problem
by Ali Digitaly 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

I recently upgraded my Suse 9.1 from 3.2.3 to 3.3, and now Konqueror does no longer show the 'devices' tab on the side. Also the devices applet in the kickerbar does no longer work. I had to manualy remove the devices applet from kickerrc settings, before kicker would actualy start. How can I fix this problem?

How to upgrade off-line KDE 3.1 to KDE 3.3 on Suse 9.0
by Roland Boers 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

All, I have tried to upgrade my KDE3.1 to 3.3 on Suse 9.0. This failed and I tried to get some detailed instructions how to do this, especially the sequence of removing old packages and installing new ones. After my first attempt I had to perform a repair installation to get it running again. The other thing is that I have to do the upgrade off-line. Is there anybody who can point me to a detailed instruction set? Thanks a lot, r

KNotify not able to use wav files.
by pnunn＠pncomputing.biz 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hi folks, wondering if someone out there would know why KNotify no longer seems to be able to use wav files. It sees ogg files and the like, but none of the wav files on the system seem to be available to it. I think something else may be associated with the wav files now, but I'd like KNotify to be able to use them again. Any idea where to look? Ta. Peter Nunn. -- Use Computers?.... ....Think IT!

File Manager - Super User Mode stopped working in KDE 3.3 (SUSE 9.1)
by Martin Farmilo 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

Hi, I've been keeping my system up to date with Red Carpet, which has picked up a number of minor updates on KDE 3.3 recently. As of a few days ago, the 'super user' file manager has stopped working. It now produces the error message 'Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher.' and simply yields an empty display. Any attempt to navigate to different directories or whatever produce the same message again, and a blank display. I did see a similar issue in earlier KDE 3.3 builds, where attempting to edit a file (KWrite or similar editor) from the 'super user' file manager gave a similar message and failed to open the editor. This seemed to be fixed in later builds, but now this is happening. Anyone have any idea what is happening ? Martin Farmilo

Once again: Start new session menu entry missing
by Andreas Philipp 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

So SuSE still hasn't updated the buggy kdebase3-samba.rpm for 8.2, leaving us without the kio_smb and the very handy access to shares from within Konqueror. I decided that I could do it myself, downloaded yesterday the kdebase-3-3-0 sources from kde.org, compiled and installed all of it. After logging off and on again I noticed that the very useful 'Start new session' entry had disappeared from my K Menu, as well as from the session block dialogue. I have checked /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers, as well as /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, in both of which I have the following entries: :0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :0 vt07 :1 local@tty2 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :1 vt08 :2 local@tty3 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :2 vt09 :3 local@tty4 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :3 vt10 All restarting of kdm and rebooting of my machine are of no avail, the menu entry is still missing. What else could be amiss? What could be done to bring back the Start new session shortcut? I'd appreciate very much all ideas of you experienced wizards. -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda.

kde3.3 kmail and gpg help
by Andrew Colvin 13 Sep '04

13 Sep '04

Hi all, I have just upgraded to kde 3.3 via YaST (normally do it by downloading and rpm) and apart from the broken jabber in kopete (as expected) I seem to have a different problem. With the old version of kmail and kde3.2.3 I was able to sign and encrypt messages perfectly. Now however I cannot seem to select the keys (as none are found). I have gone to the security->cryptography tab and rescanned (apart from the error on s/mime not being compiled). I do not seem to be able to configure the OpenPGP (gpg) entry. As background I have kgpg set up and it is working fine. I have gpg 1.2.2. gpg-agent is running. gpgme 0.3.16 is installed via rpm. I am using suse 8.2. gpg-config is installed. Has anybody got any ideas.

arcane question
by Dave O'Reilly 10 Sep '04

10 Sep '04

Hi all, don't know if anyone will know this, but perhaps you can point me in the right direction. If I manually edit the $KDEHOME/share/config/kwinrc file to change some settings (in a script, for example), how can I get KDE to reread the config file? In case you're wondering, what I'm doing is I have a load of automated tests to run but some of them pop up test windows which get in the way of my work. I want to set the focus stealing prevention policy to extreme while the tests are running and then set it back to normal again when I'm finished. Alternative suggestions for approaches to this problem would also be appreciated. thanks, daveor

Evolution-1.4 and default browser
by Robert Fitzpatrick 10 Sep '04

I have found a lot of info regarding setting the default browser for Evolution. What I found was that you have to use gnome control settings because Evolution is a gnome app, but all those settings check out. The gnome control panel shows Mozilla as the Default Web Browser and File types show it as well for http. But still Evolution insists on using lynx. Can anyone help? -- Robert

SuSE 9.0 / KDE 3.3 crashing after logout
by Michael Dunsky 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hello! There seems to be a strange problem with the KDE 3.3: I used YaST for the update to KDE 3.3, with the official SuSE-RPMs. If I try to log out now the machine crashes (freezes) just before the X-Server should end (and then the KDM normally restarts to the login window, or the PC switches to the 1st text console to reboot/halt), and it does it at nearly every logout. I use XOsview to monitor my PC - it's always open, I don't close it when logging out. (I actually never did this, and it worked great with KDE 3.1 and 3.2). Now the KDE window decoration disappears while logging out as ever, but short after that the PC freezes hard (no mouse, no keyb, no magicsysrq - hardreset...) Btw: thats very "nice" to the ReiserFS and XFS I use, in ~25% of the freezes I have to rebuild at least one ReiserFS tree, and the config files of the last open programms (Opera, Mozilla, XMMS) are also gone sometimes on the XFS partition (my /home) :( The very strange on this problem: it appears on 2 nearly completely different PCs (one Intel, one AMD) - no similarities but a Nvidia card (TNT2 / GeForce3). Speaking of the Nvidia cards - I think it's not the problem. The installed cards an drivers (which were'nt changed!) worked for the "old" KDE like a charm, and I also tried the XFree86-entry "nv" for using the build-in driver. But even after rebooting the machine (and checking for having a "not tainted" kernel) it freezed. It' also not a problem of the SuSE 9.0, while digging the crawlers one person with SuSE 8.2 reported the same freezes using KDE 3.3. Even stranger - a short test shows that a SMP machine don't crashes at that point (but doing other "funny" things). And: if I open a shell and "sync" just before loggin out the machine shuts down fast and clean, no freeze ever seen.... *konfused and unhappy* Michael

Special (accent) Characters Problem in KDE 3.3
by Gustavo Adolfo Cerezo Vásquez 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

In the recent past (few days ago) I upgraded kde 3.2 to kde 3.3 using apt-get in my SuSE 9.1 distribution. I have a problem with special(accent) characters in some applications like kmail, konsole, kile; the accent characters appears as squares instead of letters. As recommended, I have (re)-installed the kde base packages and the qt libraries, but that does not resolve the problem. What can I do? Thanks in advance. Gustavo Adolfo

KDE Laptop Battery Monitor
by Osho GG 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hi, I am running KDE 3.3 (from supplementary) with Suse 9.1 professional on my laptop. My question is regarding the Laptop Battery control panel module in Kcontrol. I have checked the box that says "Show Battery Monitor". And I also click on Start Battery Monitor. However, I do not see any icons in the system tray corresponding to the Laptop Battery applet. Any idea, how to fix this? On a related note, I run kpowersave and that has it's own icon in the system tray. However, for me, kpowersave is not desired because I have two batteries - display for which is not supported well by kpowersave but only by the laptop battery module in kcontrol. Anyone experienced this before? thanks, Osho

kio_smb missing after update to KDE 3.3 (SuSE 8.2)
by Andreas Philipp 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

Hello list members: I sent this message yesterday to the SLE list, but maybe this is the appropiate place to ask my question: Today I found out that Konqueror on my SuSE 8.2 box doesn't show Samba/CIF shares, returning the following error message: "Couldn't create slave I/O process: Klauncher returned Unknown protocol 'smb'." (well, something to this account, my installation is in Spanish). My first thought was that the update to KDE 3.3 might have broken the smb protocol support in Konqueror, but I can't be sure as I didn't use that feature before the update. While looking into the problem, I found that in /opt/kde3/share/services the 'smb.protocol' file is missing, as well as the 'kio_smb.so' and 'kio_smb.la' files in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3. I further checked the kdebase3-samba.rpm provided by SuSE (August 19), and found that those files are missing from the rpm provided for the 8.2 distribution as well, while they are present on the equivalent rpm provided for version 9.1. I would think that this must be a packaging error, as KDE 3.3 on SuSE 8.2 should not differ so much from KDE 3.3 on SuSE 9.1, but I can't be sure as I haven't seen others on the lists complaining about the same problem. Has anybody else experienced the same problem after updatin SuSE 8.2 to KDE 3.3? How can I make the smb protocol support work again in Konqueror?

There was a lot of discussion about RealPlayer 10 on the list about, I think, a month ago, so have a look through the archives. As far as I can recall, the instructions say that nphelix.xpt has to be in the components directory, not plugins, for it to work with Mozilla - I'm not sure how this would tie in with Konqueror. Did you uninstall the old version of RealPlayer (if you had it)? David Sorry, I think the previous discussion might have been on suse-linux-e
