Verner, No worries on the name. What does it do if you change KDM_USERS="vk" in the displaymanager to KDM_USERS=""? Other than that my files look very similar. If you send me the steps that you went through for adding the users, I have a desktop system running 9.3/KDE that I can duplicate them on and let you know if I get the same results. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Verner Kjærsgaard [mailto:vk@os-academy.dk] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 2:42 PM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Odd KDM behaving, all users listed, profiles Torsdag 09 juni 2005 23:29 skrev Black, Alain: Oops, - Alain, sorry for not getting your name right in the first reply... - Verner > Verner, > > Can you telnet/ssh into the machine from another computer when it's hung at > the blue screen? > > Check your /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager and /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. > > For KDE windowmanager should have: > DEFAULT_WM="kde" > > And displaymanager should contain: > DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" > > The only times I've had a similar experience is when those got changed to a > different window manager, twm or something similar. > > Also, check the dates on those files to ensure that they haven't been > updated anytime recently. > > -Alain. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Verner Kjærsgaard [mailto:vk@os-academy.dk] > Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 2:14 PM > To: suse-kde(a)suse.com > Subject: [suse-kde] Odd KDM behaving, all users listed, profiles > > Hi list, > > - I've ended up in a mess, now hear this... > > My SuSE9.3/KDE plain vanilla used to work like a breeze - with profiles and > all.

Odd KDM behaving, all users listed, profiles
by Verner Kjærsgaard 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Hi list, - I've ended up in a mess, now hear this... My SuSE9.3/KDE plain vanilla used to work like a breeze - with profiles and all. Somehow, while setting up the ThinkPad to work in a temporarily new wireless environment, I landed at this scenario: a) I edit /etc/inittab into runlevel 3. This causes a (as expected) textmode boot-up from where I can log in and to "startx". All is normal and life is good. However, if I (in textmode) fire up "mc", I get the most strange linedrawing characters. I.e., "mc" is useable, but looks very odd. b) I edit /etc/inittab or YAST into runlevel 5. Reboot. Now I get KDM with a list of ALL users and systemusers (from /etc/passwd I think) listed. If lucky, with a working keyboard and I can log in. But, alas, only to a blue background with a very primitive Xterm - that doesn't respond to the keypad. I cannot do CTRL-ALT-F1/F2 etc., to get a shell. I cannot do anything - only switch off the machine. This leaves the runlevel set to 5, so a rescue CD is in order. Once fixed I'm back in scenario a). Question: where does KDM get its list of users from, where is (if any) its configuration file? How to get back normal life again? And, oh, thank you in advance and sorry for this long writing! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Open Source Academy www.os-academy.dk Denmark +45 56964223 +45 2014 5551 ------------------------------

bluetooth, OBEX, SUSE9.3
by Sami A. Hassanein 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

Hi I upgraded from SUSE9.2 to SUSE9.3. Now I can not use the Bluetooth OBEX object push client (V0.3.0) anymore (it worked excellent in SUSE9.2). By scanning the devices my bluetooth mobile won't be detected anymore? If I use hcitool scan, the mobile is detected. First, how can I fix this or secondly what other possibilities do I have to send files from my Laptop to my mobile. -- Thanks for any help Sam

/etc/ld.so.conf messed up, using apt.
by Black, Alain 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

I changed the subject of the e-mail because it is not related to the KDE discussion. Ok, I started using apt on my 9.3 32bit installation. Somehow my /etc/ld.so.conf file was really wrong. It was pointing to /usr/i486-suse-linux and /usr/i486-suse-linux-ld5, neither of which exist on my system, and it was missing some of the more useful library paths such as the X11 and /usr/lib entries. Could apt have caused this to happen or was it most likely something else? I was using apt to install MythTv (which wound up not being successful due to missing pieces, but that's another issue). I've been using a mixture of apt and yast to install the missing dependencies as I've been building and installing manually. -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Bos [mailto:radoeka@xs4all.nl] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 1:33 PM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] KDE 3.4.1 released Op dinsdag 31 mei 2005 22:28, schreef Black, Alain: > I haven't used apt on SuSE yet, only on Debian, so this question might > just be for my own edification, do you still have to run "apt-get > update" to retrieve an updated list of packages? yes, that's inherent to apt ;) But on suse you can use in most cases 'apt' instead of apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, etc. - apt update - apt install - apt search - apt dump etc -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

09 Jun '05

Hallo Liste, Ich hab ein KDE rätsel für euch. 2 Rechner, beide mit SuSE 9.2 + KDE 3.4.1 (supplemetary) + Packman, im großen und ganzen der gleiche Softwarestand bis auf ein paar sachen die auf einem der beiden rechner mangels anständiger 3d grafik keinen sinn machen bzw die auf dem anderen keinen sinn machen weil der kein laptop ist. und jetzt das Rätsel: auf rechner a können KDE apps (juk, amarok) mp3 abspielen, auf rechner b nicht. an den Dateirechten liegts nicht, mit xmms geht es auf beiden rechnern. was ist da los? "Neulich" ging es noch auf beiden. bye, MH -- Die unaufgeforderte Zusendung einer Werbemail an Privatleute verstößt gegen §1 UWG und 823 I BGB (Beschluß des LG Berlin vom 2.8.1998 Az: 16 O 201/98).

lost capability to resize windows
by Adalberto Castelo 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

My wife has lost the capability to resize windows on her computer -- SuSE 9.1 (KDE 3.2.1) stock, all patches applied. While she can't resize any windows on her session, if I open a kde session with a different user on her machine, also in KDE, I can resize windows with no problems. Back in her session, I tried changing windows decorations and style in the KDE control center, but the problem persists. The only window that can be resized is the YAST window, running as root, which I leave open on her desktop so she can patch the machine through YOU when the SuSE watcher icon goes red. Since she can't remember when this problem started happening, or even if she was ever capable of resizing windows, it's hard to pinpoint some specific change in the system that may have caused this behavior. Anybody has any tips to solve this? Thanks in advance, Adalberto

RE: [suse-kde] KMail with more than one account
by Black, Alain 08 Jun '05

Thomas, Thank you for translating this, my translation was severely lacking and made for a rather confusing question, but then, I don't actually speak German. What version of SuSE and KMail are you using? I have a 9.3 x86_64 system using the shipping version of Evolution checking multiple accounts and it is performing quite well. What kind of accounts are they? POP, IMAP, ...? -Alain. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Wedehase [mailto:tw_mailbox@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 12:57 PM To: suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] KMail with more than one account Hello List, please don't fight, play nice together!! Here my request in English: recently Iadded another account to my kmail and when I check both accounts everything works fine but the system is very very very slow while downloading the mails. Does anyone have any idea what that might be?

RE: [suse-kde] Fensterleiste

He's asking how to move the title on the windows in KDE back to the left in the title bar. His have gotten moved to the center of the title bar with the selection of a new Window Decoration. That is an interesting question, I know that I can select a new Window Decoration under the Control Center, but how can I customize settings for the chosen Window Decoration? -Alain -----Original Message----- From: KBB0927(a)cs.com [mailto:KBB0927@cs.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 10:26 AM To: Jakob Wefers; suse-kde(a)suse.com Subject: RE: [suse-kde] Fensterleiste This list is English.
