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

screensaver problems
by Edward Dunagin 20 Nov '05

20 Nov '05

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.

We have a winner! I knew it had to be something obscure. To Joe and Steven: I did reboot and/or restart the X server after making the various changes but to no avail. To all: Thanks for taking the time on such a trivial matter.

Re: [suse-kde] How do I change the kdm background

Use yast system, etc/sysconfig editor. goto Desktop, Display manager, find DISPLAYMANAGER_KDE_THEME and remove "suse" just leave it blank. now you can see the old stlye login, and change the background.

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.

volume control keyboard shortcuts help
by Terry 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Hello, I have keyboard shortcuts that can modify the master volume in KMix. However, on my laptop, the only plugin I have is for headphones. I can modify this volume manually with the Headphone control (obviously). However, there is not a keyboard shortcut for this particular control. Any way to hack this? Or is there another way to get what I want here? Thanks!

Hi all, who form you have some experience with KDE on the integrated graphics adapter on the TYAN TOMCAT i845GL motherboard? My problem is simple: with my actually M/B (ASRock with integrated graphics adapter -SiS 660-) it isn't possible to switch between users as I can with -for example- the nVidia graphics card that I have on my other system (I use SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.4.0 level b on both systems), Thank you, any suggestion are great welcome! Stefano
