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

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

Menu configuration
by Patrick Barber 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

After reading through the mail-list archives, googling for a while, I cannot find a definative list of files that are used to create the Kmenu. I am trying to create a simple default menu, so when I create a new user, the new user only has basic applications ion the menu, and new applications can be added when or if they are needed. hope somebody can point me in the right direction Patrick

Workspaces
by Milu 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

hi, I'm using suse 9.1 with kde 3.2. (german) I can put an application to a special workspace or to all workspaces, so that this app will start each time on this workspace. But, how can I undo this? (with gnome, I can undo this in the context-menu) hope, that someone on this list can give me an answer. thanks Milu

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? Thank you very much in advance! -- Andreas Philipp Noema Ltda. Bogotá, D.C. - Colombia

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
