kmail and inline image viewing
by Osho GG 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hi, I am using KDE 3.4 (Level b) on Suse 9.1. I use Kmail as my email client. I have selected to display images as inline by clicking on View->Attachments->Inline. However when I get emails with multiple images, there is empty space (of appropriate size) where an image should be. All images are displayed at the end of the email. Anyone know how to fix this? thanks, -- Osho

Re: [suse-kde] useradd command to create accounts for KDE Yast users
by David Anguish, EPFL 20 Apr '05

Hello Alvin, PC's using Windows use a terminal connection programme called EXCEED, that uses "XDMCP Query" to connect to the SUSE box. This brings up the SUSE KDE standard login interface screen to login. The useradd command does it all for ssh and rlogin users: directory generation together with startup files and /etc/passwd entry - no problem. But it does not provide for users to login by the KDE Yast interface ??!? Yes, the user sees ok the login screen. Yes they are able to type in their username and password - but get error then. "User account has been disabled". Installing users manually as administrator using Yast administration tool makes all connection types to work ok. I am however looking for a command(or script method) to do this, RSVP, Regards, David A.- >Hello David, > >I haven't used XDMCP before.

Re: [suse-kde] useradd command to create accounts for KDE Yast users
by Alvin Beach 20 Apr '05

Hello David, I haven't used XDMCP before. The closest thing I've used to that is VNC but I don't think that what you want to use. I just did the useradd command on my machine. It adds the account but doesn't create the home directory. Did you create a home directory (e.g. /home/user)? Once I created the home directory (e.g. mkdir) then I was able to log in as the user into KDE. Then again, I'm logging in locally. Does the user see the KDE login screen (GUI)? If so, are they able to type in their username and password? If not, it sounds like X authentication credentials. You may need to look into remote X sessions or perhaps someone on the list has done this before? Alvin On April 20, 2005 11:53 am, David Anguish, EPFL wrote: > Hello Alvin, > Thanks for your reply.

useradd command to create accounts for KDE Yast users
by David Anguish, EPFL 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello, Thanks for reading my request. I am new with SUSE, so thank-you for your consideration. Here it is: I would like to add user accounts to a SUSE 9.2 server system using a shell command, similar to useradd, that is able to create a login account that works for users logging in through the KDE Yast interface(XDMCP query from a PC say) as well as, of-course, the standard ssh, rlogin way. If a useraddYast shell command does not exist, what, in your opinion, is the best method to create an account that works ?, With Much Thanks for your kind help, David A.-

bizzare volume window in KDE/SuSE 9.3
by Stefan Müller 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, I played a little mor with kmix and found out that I can change the volume and that the anoying window in the mid of the screen sets the progress bar according to the selected volume. However, after changing the volume the system decides that this is too loud for me and changes the volume back to zero. The window in the middle of the screen does not disappear and the kmix window cannot be closed. Maybe there are some okay-buttons that are not displayed or soemthing that like. If there are any hints how to get rid of this volume window, they would be highly appreciated.

Update from 9.1 -> 9.3 Volume popup
by Stefan Müller 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

Hi, I updated from 9.1 to 9.3 and the sound card stoped to work. I reinstalled it with yast and it works now. However kmix behaves strangely. When I start kde a pop up in the middle of the screen appears showing "Volume" and a progress bar (at the very beginning). kmix is started and connot be killed. It seems that it does not find a suitible mixer. I found some web pages that suggested removing the KDE mixer package. I did this, kmix disappeared, but the pup is still there. It is really anoying, since this window cannot be closed. If somebody replies to this, could you please CC me directly?

I have upgraded & have same problem. Symlink however, still does not do the job. Error message received: "could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation."

How to make KDE the default for startx -- :1
by elefino 16 Apr '05

16 Apr '05

SuSE 9.2 with KDE 3.4. Used to be, a second person on my machine could do a text login at the F1 console, run "startx -- :1 and find themselves in a GUI session on F8. That second session type seemed to default to KDE, which is what I normally run when I login via the KDM login. For a couple of months now, startx -- :1 launches an FVWM session, instead of KDE. I'm still running KDE on F7 (started from KDM login), but my wife is losing patience since she would prefer KDE for her session as well. I've been snooping a trail of config files, and haven't seen anything that I recognize as the source of the problem. If I recall, we first noticed it after I installed KDE 3.4. KDE 3.4 itself seems fine. I did a full install, rather than attempting an update. Hints? Pointers? Thanks, Kevin
