by alexander.beck-ratzka 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

Hello list, I've a strange problem. Dont ask me why and how, but I have achieved to change the size of the popup window for selecting Email adresses in kmail (the three dots ... at the right hand site of the "to" and "copy" field, in a manner that I dont see the ok and the cancel button any more. I can change the window's size with the mouse as I want, but I never see the "ok" and "cancel" button again. They remain below the lower border of the window? Has anypne an idea, how I can get rid of the problem? I am running SuSE Professional 9.2 with it's KDE. Alexander

Completely black menus in GTK applications
by Lennart Börjeson 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Since upgrading to SuSE Linux 10.0 my GTK application have got menus with black backgrounds. Very annoying since the default font colour is black, too... I've seen this in acroread, gimp and eclipse. If I run acroread from a konsole and activate a menu, I get the following error on stderr: (acroread:5291): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(): pixmap must have a colormap I've tried various settings in the ControlCentre, under "GTK Styles and Fonts", but to no avail. I've removed all .gtkrc* files in my home directory, didn't help either. I googled the error, and found something releated to gtk2 2.8, but I've checked and the indicated patch is already applied to the SuSE gtk2 version, 2.8.7. Any hints on how to resolve this? -- !++ !

keyboard frustration
by eddieleprince 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but in order to get quotes (single or double) I have to press the key twice. If I only press the key once then the next character either doesn't appear or comes out with an accent or something like that. Other keys may be misbehaving as well but I've only experienced it on the quote keys so far. I only noticed it following upgrading to the latest version of KDE (KDE 3.5) via YAST. Interestingly enough, it does not happen with my system at work just the one at home. I'm running SUSE 10.0 with the various security updates etc. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Is anyone aware of it or have any idea what is going on and how to fix it. By the way, if I go to a virtual console e.g. ctr-alt-f1 I don't experience this problem, but I do if I use konsole. Would be grateful for any help? Thanks in advance. Eddie

Odd behaviour with crtl-taste in KDE 3.5.0
by K. Elo 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi, I have encountered an odd phenomena with KDE 3.5.and SL 9.3 Pro. When I press crtl-taste in Konqueror (and maybe in KMail, too), several yellow boxes with one digit or alphabet in each appear. When I press the crtl once again, these boxes disappear. I have absolutely no idea what these boxes are supposed to mean. The only clue is, that these boxes seem to be related to the URLs in the active window... Any ideas? Can someone reproduce this behaviour? Thanks in advance! Kimmo

How to? - KDEWallet and Firefox - more than one uname/pwd for a site
by Shriramana Sharma 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

In SeaMonkey and Firefox on Windows I had the convenience of saving more than one username/password for a site and when I visited that site again I would get a popup with the list of usernames from which I could select the one I want. I thought only KDEWallet didn't have this but now I see that even Firefox on Linux doesn't have it. So can anyone tell me how to get this functionality? Shriramana.

KDE 3.5:icons on desktop move despite locking
by Juergen Lennefer 24 Nov '05

24 Nov '05

Hi KDE community, I'm running SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.5.0 level "a", upgarded with apt. I like it, it's much better than the 3.4.x version before. After I found the new "Lock in Place" switch in the desktop menu under "Icons" I hoped to get rid of the moving icons after very restart of the KDE desktop caused in the two top panels I'm using. The icons move downwards on desktop with the pixelsize of the two panels. But the new lock does not really help with the icons positions. With 3.4.x apps windows (kwatch, konsole, xosview) also did move in the same way, if they had contact with the panels on one or more sides. This is fixed with 3.5.0. Very cool! Any hint? Or is this still a bug? Regards, Juergen -- ### Juergen Lennefer ### Kuerten ### Germany ###

Hello all: I like(d) very much the default kde window and color style/ theme that was included with suse 9.0/9.1/9.2. In 10.0 the deafult style is different that I do not like as much.

backing up email and folders across a reformat & install
by -=j=- 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, I looked through the archives and found that I need to save ~/.gconf and ~/.evolution to backup my email and folders [or so it appears] but I don't know how to get at these folders or email messages once I've done a fresh install [equivalent for reformatting the hard drive, etc.]. I have to take a suse 9.3 box and roll it back to suse 9.2 for dev reasons. Unfortunately there's a lot of email on it as it was upgraded, semi unsuccessfully, so suse 9.3. I want to back up the email on this suse 9.3 box now, do a fresh install complete with reformatted drive and then either load or recreate the folders and restore the old email. If I could just restore the folders that would be best sas they won't exist on a new install anyway but at the worst just getting the old messages in there will suffice. How do you do it? I've seen no references to re-opening old messages or foders, just people talking about saving the afore-mentioned directories. Sorry if this has been clearly answered, but how do you get at the old messages and folders of you saved off ~/.gconf and ~/.evolution directories? tia... Jack

DCOPserver problem
by K. Elo 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, what causes the DCOPserver to crash? In the last couple of days I have several times been forced to restart my kde session, because the DCOPsever has crashed. After this I have neither been able to start any applications by clicking the panel icons nor to browse any www-sites with konqueror and so on. My system is SL 9.3 Pro with all YOU-updates and with kde 3.4.3. I haven't had this problem before, so I am curious to find out, if such a problem is well-known and if there are solutions for it. This problem is a bit nervy. Thanks in advance, Kimmo

Printer installation
by Jean-Pierre Abgottspon 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hi, I am using YAST to connect an old EPSON LQ-500 printer to my PC. This printer has a needle printing head. It works with this ESC/P printer language. I intend to use it only to edit text. The connection works fine and I manage to get the test page issued on paper with no trouble. However when printing an e-mail message for instance, the printed characters are not in the 'roman', 'sans serif', 'slot' or 'draft' fonts my printer offers by pressing option buttons on this device. They come in an exotic 'shadow' style. It makes it rather hard to read. The only thing I know is that somewhere if I could drive this command ESC &, I might give my printer the right to print accordingly to the 'r', 'ss', 'sl', 'd' options it offers. Watch out ! I am a newbie. I guess I may not be able to activate this thing outside the YAST options. Tks in advance. JP. Using Linux pro 9.3. My Pc is a Compaq Deskpro. -- Libérez vos bits.

Clock Problems in KDE
by Christian Reppel 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

Hi everyone! Some time ago, I have changed the clock of my SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro running on KDE, since the transition from summer to winter time did not go automatically. After that, the clock is late - even my hardware clock! So, I bought a new battery, but the problem is still there. Then I altered the time on my laptop, which has the same system, but is completely different on a hardware level and the same problem is now seen there too! I synchronise my clock everytime I am in KDE with an atomic clock server, but somehow it always runs late the next day. This sounds like a programming bug to me. Maybe there goes something wrong with logging out, when SuSE sets the hardware clock to the system time. Does anybody have a solution or know about this bug? Thx. _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

hi mates, i;m running suse10.0 and with the kde that came with it.3.4.2 level b on a p4 with 122gb hd and 1gb memory. when i try to run the screensaver in random, it only reflects a single screensaver and then goes blank. that's not too awful bad, but i have noticed that the screen will go black and not come back, by depressing another key. i thought i had a monitor going bad on me, but i shut the screensaver deamon down, and no longer have a problem with the monitor going black. i seem to remember other comments about problems with the screensaver. but nothing definitive.

How do I change the kdm background
by Frank Holt 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi, I'm tweaking my new SuSE 10 installation and ran into trouble changing the background of the login screen. How does one get rid of the blue, full screen login panel SuSE installs and replace it with the old small grey one? I can live without the clock but I had a background I liked to use and this new login screen covers it up. I'd also like to customize the greeting but that also does not take effect when I change it (using admin mode) in the Login Manager YAST screen. I've gone back a couple of months in the archives of this list so if it's been discussed here before please point me to the thread. Similarly, I've not found anything helpful Googling either.

SUSE 10, KDE and GTK fonts
by John Coldrick 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

We've done upgrades on several SUSE systems(from 9.1 to 9.3) to v10 and there's a problem that appears to have been mentioned several times in the past but doesn't appear to have a very elegant solution in this version. It's the issue with GTK/Qt apps not having a direct control over their fonts, with the result that setting fonts in the Control Center doesn't affect them. Thus you have apps like Firefox with overly fat bookmark fonts, while the regular web page displays fine. I've found the solution involving running the gnome-font-properties, which works fine as long as you start up the gnome-settings-daemon with every session. The trouble with that is it appears to do a number of nasty jobs on various aspects of my KDE desktop. For instance, it insists on starting up a screensaver(which I don't use), it takes over a number of peripheral behaviours, such as key-repeats, and it's managed to munge up my Alt-tab windows-switching behaviour. This isn't surprising given you've got two daemons running contended for resources. This solution seems to be the secret solution-de-jour out there for this problem, but I can't believe this is considered to be appropriate. I was under the understanding that gtk-qt-engine(with both 64 and 32 bit versions installed here) was supposed to handle all this without resorting to running two WMs at once. About the only thing I haven't tried is to install Gnome also, log in, config everything the way I want, then log back into KDE, but this isn't a prefereable solution, besides being overkill. Any thoughts, experiences, appreciated. I'm running on an x64 system, if that matters... Cheers, J.C.

Re: [suse-kde] SuSE 10.0 Eval. and KDE.
by Daniel Eckl 06 Nov '05

Hmmmm, I thought, that kcharselect should be clear. Usage is that you can copy special chars to the clipboard in case you don't know how to type them. And this implies the second function: you can see, if a font has those special chars at all.

SuSE 10.0 Eval. and KDE.
by Erik Jakobsen 05 Nov '05

05 Nov '05

Hi. I use the SuSE 10.0 Eval. and KDE here. I have written with another Dane, that is using the official SuSE 10.0. He found that setting Localization to Danmark, it all worked ok. This unfortunately is not the case here with my SuSE 10.0 Eval.. For instance if I click on the KDE Menu, there should stand "Værktøjer", but no. There stands "V rkt jer". The æ and ø lacks, and in general æøåÆØÅ lacks. Erik Jakobsen

Problems with kdm sessions on suse10.0 different from "kde"
by Rainer Krienke 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hello, I am running suse10.0 on my system and have some trouble starting sessions different from "kde", i.e. the only session type I can start is kde. In the "session type" menu of kdm I can see all kinds of sessions like "kde", "fvwm" or "WindowMaker". "kde" works but no matter what other session type I select kde is always started. I did not see anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn or /var/log/kdm. Can anyone give me a hint where kdm searches for the list of sessions and where I might look for errors? I looked into /usr/share/xsessions for the sessions offered but even if I delete all ".desktop" files in this directory, restart kdm, the list of sessions for kdm is unchanged.

Why does GUI start automatically for only root.
by Kelly Choo 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Dear List I just installed SUSE 9.3 yesterday. When I login as root at the GUI user and password it starts kde automatically. When I log in as an NIS user I get a console window Have a lot of fun... Directory: /home/chook Wed Nov 2 09:42:52 PST 2005 linux: /home/chook> I then have to type startkde or kde to start KDE. When I end my session I have to also type in "exit" in the same window to get the login screen back which I don't have to do as root. Does anyone kno whow to change it so that starting and ending kde is automatic for everyone. Kelly

Re: KDE keyboard lock
by Chuck Davis 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Installed 10.0 boxed set on a users desktop a couple of day ago. This a.m. the keyboard locked up. Signing on as a different user (root) the keyboard works fine. Signing the same user on GNOME the keyboard works fine. So it is a KDE problem. Any ideas how the keyboard could get locked on KDE for this particular user? Thanks for any help.

k3b 0.12.6 brennt DVD nur als root und auch das nicht richtig.
by Mathias Homann 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hallo, auf meiner 9.2 brennt das aktuelle k3b (ob packman oder suse-supplementary ist egal) nur noch als root, und auch das nicht korrekt: es gibt keine fortschrittsanzeige mehr und der brennvorgang bricht irgendwann kommentarlos ab. Installier ich wieder das alte k3b, das auf den 9.2er installationsmedien drauf ist, funktioniert es wieder. -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und 823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).
