kdm login problem
by Gabor Istvan 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hello, Thanks for your answer. I have logged out from user2's desktop on screen 2 normally before tried to log in on screen1. Here is step by step what I did: 1. login as user1 on screen1 2. start manu -switch user - open desktop on screen2, lock button is not checked - clik OK. 3. login prompt appears on screen2 4. login as user2 on scren2. 5. do the job 6. user2 logs out normally from screen2 7. user1's desktop on screen1 comes back as it were left before switching 8. user1 logs out from screen1 normally 9. kdm login window appears on screen1 10. trying to log in as user2 on screen1. login starts but when the kde splash goes to the 3rd icon the X server restarts and gives back the login window. However user1 still can log in on screen1 as user1, and if logged, can switch to screen2 and login as user2 on screen2. I think kde remembers the the last login screen and stores this info somewhere. This may block the login from other screens. Thanks, IG

kybd input suddenly not working after login; OK if 'startx' from console
by OpenMacNews 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

hi all, i've been running SuSE 9.2Pro + KDE-unstable without any issue. very cool. after a recent update to latest KDE beta (from component: kde-unstable) i've lost the ability to type any keystrokes when auto-logged-in. specifically, if i start in failsafe mode, i can type at the console. if from the console i 'startx' as either ROOT or MYUSER, up comes my usual desktop and everything works great. i can open any application and type ... however, if i use my standard auto-login set up to boot into user MYUSER, the desktop comes up as i'd expect. i can mouse around, point-n-click & launch apps, but keyboard input is DOA -- nothing. not in konsole, browser, etc. -- just nothing. to troubleshoot, i've gone the usual route of moving my /home/MYUSER/.kde out of the way, and deleting all .x*, .X* and .ICE* files ... after reboot, absolutely the same behavior as above. autologin into ROOT has the same issue. any wisdom/suggestions as to where to look/what to do here? this is driving me nuts :-S cheers, richard

kdm login problem
by Gabor Istvan 10 Feb '05

Hello everybody: I have the following problem in SUSE 9.2: When I was logged in through kdm as user1 (on screen 0?) I used the swith user option and logged in as user2 (on screen 1?). Since I have logged out from both accounts I can't login as user2 on screen0. But I can login as user1 and through the switch user option login as user2 as before. How could I change back to the original setting that every user could log in on the first graphicals screen (screen 0)? Thanks, IG

Hi, Thanks for your answer :-) , honestly I think that your solution is the best way to fix the problem but I want to know if exists any bug in KDE Menu Editor or I'm not doing well anything. I don't use this util, my boss use it ;-P . Regards, M.L. Alvin Beach wrote: > > >I have found that the Menu Editor can really make a mess of things.

Hi, I've a problem with KDE Menu Editor when I try create a new directory entry. I create a new directory element and can I see it without any problems. If I create a second directory element nested to the first directory I can't see it, the first directory seems empty, any link inside it cannot be accessed. SuSE version is 9.1, KDE Menu editor is version 0.5, KDE version is 3.2.1 and Qt version is 3.3.1. KDE Menu Editor is provided by package kdebase3-3.2.1-68.23 Can somebody help me ? Thanks, M.L.

KMail problem
by Robert Maier 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi, I am running KDE 3.3.2 Level "a" (unofficial build of SuSE) in SuSE 9.2, KMail 1.7.2 and I noticed that the keyboard searching in the folder list when moving a message do not work anymore. It used to be that when I moved a message (by pressing M) a list of folders was opened and in this list I could jump to the first folder starting with a certain letter by pressing the corresponding key. Now keys do not seem to work anymore in this list. Is this a bug or a "feature"? Did any of you notice this behavior? Cheers, Robert.

Wie bringe ich KMAIL S/MIME bei (am verzweifeln)
by Ruettimann Markus 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hallo Zusammen Ich benutze Suse 9.1 mit KDE 3.3.2 Ich versuche schon seit einiger Zeit Kmail S/MIME beizubringen. Ich habe alle tutorials die es so gibt (stichwort ÄGYPTEN) durchgeackert, komme aber einfach nicht voran. Konkret sagt Kmail wenn ich nach neuen Kryptoproviders suche (S/MIME ist ausgegrayed) dass Kmail wohl ohne support für S/MIME kompiliert wurde. Stimmt das oder fehlt da etwa noch wass? Ich habe jene Bibliothek welche Kmail anmotzt unter anderem selber kompiliert (nachdem ich den ganzen S/MIME kram installiert hatte) und hat alles sauber funktioniert. Weiss da jemand noch rat? Und wieso ist S/MIME nicht per default dabei? Gruss Markus

how to set up default kde settings in kde 3.x/SuSE 9.x ?
by Gabor Istvan 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

Dear list members: I would like to change the default kde settings in suse 9.1/kde3.3 (default background image, colors, window theme, style, desktop icons, devices, menu etc.) so that if I create a new user these settings would be set for him. I've checked the kde documentation at www.kde .org, docs. kde.org, googled but could not find anything that explains where I can change these setting and especially where these are stored in SuSE. All help would be appreciated! Thanks, IG
