Error while minimizing windows
by b9b9b9＠email.it 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

When I try to minimize 'any' window, instead of appearing on the taskbar, it simply disappears. I can cycle through them with alt-tab, and they are shown if I select the 'show tasks list' button (well, I've configured the mid mouse button to show the active tasks). It is really strange as this problem occurs ONLY in my wife's lxbox, while in mine it doesn't (all works fine... and, as always, I'm blamed... she's a Mac user, and I don't want to buy another pc at home...) I've installed SUSE 10 OSS, with all the updates available, with KDE same version which comes with Suse 10: only security fixes installed.

Desktop Fonts less than 16pt -> no Antialiasing
by Guido Pinkernell 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

This is with KDE 3.5 on OpenSuse 10.0. Enabling Antialiasing in KDE Control Center has no effect on all fonts when setting them to less than 16pt. I am not sure whether this is a KDE related problem. Could also result from a rather unusual screen setting (1024x600) which X appears to have some problems with (i.e. I successfully edited the x.org configuration file in /etc/x11 which, however, now can't be opened by Sax). Anyway, maybe someone can shed some light on this. Thanks! Guido

Help reqd on how Kate and OOo 2 store Unicode
by Shriramana Sharma 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Opening OOo (first Writer then Calc) I entered the Unicode sequence: 0928 092e 0938 094d 0924 0947 (Devanagari script for namaste = "I bow to you" = greeting) but I find that OOo (both Writer and Calc) stores it as the following sequence in content.xml - e0 a4 a8 e0 a4 ae e0 a4 b8 e0 a5 8d e0 a4 a4 e0 a5 87 A friend told me that on Windows the digits are stored in little-endian model, and sure enough Windows Notepad saved the following Unicode text file: 28 09 2e 09 38 09 4d 09 24 09 47 09 where my original input is recognizable. But I fail to see any connection between the above text and what OOo stored. Kate also saved it as: e0 a4 a8 e0 a4 ae e0 a4 b8 e0 a5 8d e0 a4 a4 e0 a5 87 which is again different from the original Unicode sequence or Notepad's output but is the same as what OOo gave. I observe that e0 occupies positions 1, 4, 7 etc, and the length of the Kate / OOo text in bytes is exactly one third greater than that of the Notepad text. Apart from that I fail to identify any pattern relation between the Notepad text (original Unicode sequence) and the Kate / OOo text. Can anyone please elucidate this situation and why Kate and OOo stores the Unicode text in a different way from the actual Unicode sequence? Thanks.

Updating KDE on different SuSE version
by Dennis Neumeier 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Hello! I am sure that this question was asked before, but I didn´t find a "search" function for this mailing list. Please apologize. My question: Is there any way to update a KDE version via YaST? I know for example that I can add packman (packman.iu-bremen.de) as http source for installation of packages. I am looking for an analogue way to update thr running KDE version; for example on SuSE 9.3 to KDE 3.5. I did this on a test PC, but I had to solve all dependencies on my own, so "rpm -Uvh <packagename>" on the command line. But as I am installing some PCs, a better solution would be great. I know that I could set up an YaST installation source on a machine in my LAN, but I don´t know how this works and - most important - download time and size doesn´t matter to me. But if anyone here can give me an understable howto for that, this would also be great (but is has to be related directly to my problem, if possible). Yours, Michael Neumeier

I found out that echo PATH gives me the output: PATH echo $PATH tells me: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/ bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin So it is included in $PATH - but I have to include it in PATH -right? So which is the command? Thanks!!! Ivan

Viewing JPEGs in Konqueror
by William E. Shotts 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

I have a strange problem. I'm sure I caused it, but don't know when or how. I can view jpegs using any of my viewers. I can view jpeg attachments with kmail. I can view jpegs within applications such as digikam, open office, or scribus. I can view jpegs with konqueror if I log in as root. I can no longer view jpegs with konqueror if I log in as user (normal login). I have looked at file associations and at the Konqueror preferences. All seem normal. Any ideas on how to fix this?

After upgrading to kde 3.5 amarok does not start
by Oscar Curero 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi, I upgraded to kde 3.5 (using suse 10.0) last night and eveything works fine except amarok (1.3.7), which does not start for my user. With a fresh user, it starts but freeze when showing the first run wizard. It was running fine with kde 3.4.2. Does anyone know what can be happening and/or how can I fix it? This is the log: oscar@gardenia:~> amarok amaroK: [Loader] Starting amarokapp.. amaroK: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp. QLayout: Adding KToolBar/mainToolBar (child of QVBox/unnamed) to layout for PlaylistWindow/PlaylistWindow amaroK: [Loader] amaroK is taking a long time to load! Perhaps something has gone wrong? Thanks! -- Oscar Curero - Linux user: 306877 -- GPG keyID: 0xE0EA0B24 --
