kde-3.4 beta startup problem
by Richard Bos 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

I installed the (unsupported) suse kde-3.4 beta rpms, and I experience a problem with this. The problem is something with X, at the point were the latter is being started. Today I experienced that X got displayed at VT2 (virtual terminal) instead of VT7. After some time (15-30 seconds) the screen became blank (black). It was possible to swap between VT1 and VT2, that was about it. Another time, same system, it continued in X, but than I could not use my keyboard (mouse is okay). The big mystery begins: when I set the default init level to 3 and login as root after boot and execute an init 5, all is working well.... :)) I have the feeling that with the current kde 3.4 version X is launched a bit too early. Do others experience the same problem? Is there a solution? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

KDE desktop icons do not update,refresh,show up for new files - solution
by Oli1417＠gmx.net 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Hello, This is just to post the solution to the problem described above. I found it hard to find infos about this, so I decided to make a small posting here to have it documented for people that are still looking for the solution perhaps: Problem: KDE desktop icons do not update,refresh,show up for new files Solution: It's related to the fam daemon, which KDE and Gnome use to get notified on new files. It's not installed my default (very silly by Suse - don't uderstand that?!). So 1.) just install all of them incl. the fam-server and then 2.) also activate it in the runlevel editor, then 3.) reboot. Voila. That's it. Cheers, Ol

Clipboard Copy and Removable Device Activations
by Randall R Schulz 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

Hi, On a couple of occasions I've mentioned that when I copy to the clipboard in a native KDE / Qt application (Konsole, KMail, Eric3, e.g.) my diskette drive activates, even though there is no diskette inserted. This symptom does not occur when copying to the clipboard in non-Qt applications (Mozilla, Java GUIs, etc.). A message on the SuSE-Linux-E list mentioned a related issue for a user who had a symbolic link in the root directory to his floppy device mount point in /media but had no drive connected. His symptoms were even worse in that Konqueror would hang when he directed it at the root directory. Then it occurred to me that I also have symlinks in root to my Lexar Jump drive (a flash RAM memory stick) and that device has a tiny green LED activity indicator. So I did a copy in Konsole while watching the activity light on the flash RAM stick and sure enough, it showed activity. So I removed the symbolic link from /floppy to /media/floppy and now when I copy something to the clipboard the diskette drive no longer attempts to access the media. The same is true for the flash RAM stick. In fact, in the latter case, I had two symlinks, one called "jump" and the other called "lexar" both targeting that unwieldy USB device name. Removing one of them lessened the amount of activity and removing both eliminated it. So, I'm glad about resolving this annoying symptom, but the question is, why does it happen? Why does copying something to the clipboard in a KDE / Qt application cause symbolic links in the root to be dereferenced and, apparently, the directories they point to scanned? Could it have something to do with Klipper? I have it running, though I don't have its actions enabled. I don't see anything in its configuration that would suggest a connection. Does anyone know? Thanks. Randall Schulz

Konqueror lockups on root directory
by Craig Patterson 01 Feb '05

01 Feb '05

Any time I open Konqueror with either 'file:/' or with the root folder in the tree view panel, it locks up. It doesn't matter whether I do it as a user or root. When I close the Konqueror window with the close button, after a 10 or 15 seconds I get a dialog box with the following: Window with title "craig - Konqueror" is not responding. This window belongs to application konqueror (PID=7087, hostname=localhost). Do you wish to terminate this application? (All unsaved data in this application will be lost.) Any ideas what might be the problem? Where would I look for the config files and log files for Konqueror? Thanks, Craig
