DRIScreenInit failed - only for user root NOT fuer user account - no more desktop login to root KDE desktop
by Hans Neukomm 11 May '05

11 May '05

Hi all suse 9.2 fully YOU updated error message: (EE) I810(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI. (WW) I810(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x8000000) hence after every KDE desktop login attempt - the display falls back to login page ... how it started: yesterday i installed a redhat 9 rpm version of ymessenger ... it worked - install was made in user root ... but later when i rebooted my linux box and wanted to login to desktop as root above error message occurred hence i assume the install destroyed a file needed for desktop layout or config ?? the login is impossible for ANY desktop - hence also fvwm and others !! meanwhile that ymessenger rpm has been removed - the problems persists for user root and desktop login ! important however login to my user account - KDE desktop still works hence it must be a file existing for each user separately AND valid for all desktops any idea which file could be responsible for such problem and how to solve the problem ?? -- Hans Cyberspace Ashram - solutions of love http://www.kriyayoga.com

9.3 Login Show Users?
by Jim Flanagan 07 May '05

07 May '05

Good day all. On my clean install of suse 9.3 I get the green login screen (KDE) where I enter username and password. How can I change this to show certain users with the icons as in previous versions? The KDE website says to select "show users" in control panel, but I don't see that option. Many thanks, -- Jim Flanagan linuxjim(a)jjfiii.com

Hi! In my suse 9.2 i can't hear any mp3 or wma file.... The cd audio work fine. I have checked the soundcard and it works (for te time being plays all the kde sounds perfectly)... Xmms,amarok,noatun can't play the file.. I have noticed that all of these programmes recognize the file length of the track (i can move the progress bar of the song) but still when i press the play button nothins appears (like not having pressed it at all) What should i do? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Browsing windows networks in konqeror
by Shashi Kanth Boddula 05 May '05

05 May '05

Hi, I have one project where the customer is migrating from XP to NLD ( Novell linux desktop ) . The main requirement for them is to access network shares as they are accessing network shares in XP . In XP , a domain user can browse the network and he can go into any computer which is part of the domain . The user no needs to provide username and password to access network shares in XP ( provided by appropriate permissions ) . So, the customer is expecting same thing from NLD. In KDE , if i am browsing the windows network by using konqueror , you can see all the domains in the network and machines which are part of these domain . But , when i am trying access to one machine , username-password dialog box appears . After providing username & password credentials , a user can go inside that machine and he can access the shares which are in that machine . If you try to access same machine second time , you won't get username-password dialog box . Konqueror has capabilities to cache the password , but this is not permanent for windows networks . Kwallet also doesn't helping me to solve this issue. I joined NLD to their domain , but still the problem exists . Please any body can tell me how we can solve the problem . Is kwallet solve this kind problems or is there is any way to solve this problem . Actually , this is the common requirement for all customers who are migrating from Windows to Linux . Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth RHCE,LPI-2

Feb 28 email to suse lists returned today
by Andy Yankovich 05 May '05

05 May '05

Today I received 24 notices that 24 posts I sent **February 28 through March 4** were returned as user unknown. All of these returned posts were truly sent by me on those dates. Most were addressed to either "suse-linux-e(a)suse.com" OR "kde-suse(a)suse.com". All those returned posts were properly posted on the lists and answered by others on the SLE or suse-kde mail lists in the time frame Feb 28 to Mar 4. I was running Pro 9.2 then and now 9.3. NONE of those posts were anywhere in my system after I reformatted and later installed 9.3. Is this a problem in the suse lists or is this some type of virus or worm or something that is on my system? Below is the beginning of one of those returned posts.

YOU Security Updates break kde
by Andrew Williams 04 May '05

04 May '05

Hi, My system is SuSE 9,3 with a 32-bit processor. The Graphic card is a Rage 128. On Saturday (or Sunday morning) I applied the outstanding YOU Security patches. I think they were: - mozilla - MozillaFirefox - xli - qt3 - gnome-filesystem - acroread The kdebase3 update had already been applied by this stage. The system worked just fine until I powered down. The next time I tried to use the system, startx took me into some other window-manager. The most important message (just after /etc/X11/xorg.conf was loaded) was: (EE) R128(0): No DFP detected Backing out all of the updates by reverting /home, /usr, /opt, /etc, /var, /bin, /sbin and /lib (maybe 1 or 2 directories more) fixed the problem. Going forwards again was just the same - everything worked just fine after the update, until I powered down and restarted. Running sax2 did not help either. Has anyone been confronted with this before? -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Where does KDE Log to?
by Sebastian Koerner 03 May '05

03 May '05

Hi there! I have problems with KMail and I wonder where all the KDE-applications are logging to. I couldn't find any KDE/KMail-messages in /var/log/messages. Also starting KMail from a terminal din't give me more details. Sebastian
