No screensavers anymore after update to KDE 3.4.2
by Thomas Börkel 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

HI! After updating my Suse 9.2 from KDE 3.4.1 to 3.4.2, one of the users (only this one) has an empty list of screensavers. It still works OK for other users! I tried to rename .kde with no positive effect. Out of the blue, I restored a Suse 9.0 user directory from that user and started with that and the screensavers where there again! Then, with the 9.2 user directory, they were there, too. After working for a few days, the list of screensavers is empty again for that user. What can that be? Thanks! Thomas

More important: Did you finalised the disc when it was originally burned? Most Linux distros don't read open discs that are not finalised yet. Try it on a known working computer.

I tried to burn the iso of the cdrive from another disk so I would have a backup without giving up HD space. Then I have a goback when I test some XP programs. Thats why the partiton is about 4 gig just enough for windows without wasting space. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/

no kde-supplementary for amd64?
by Mathias Homann 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi, i just tried to upgrade a kde 3.3.0 (suse 9.2-IA64) to 3.4.2 by using the supplementary yast source... but the only installable package found was kde3-i18n-de-3.4.2-3? could it possibly be the case that the supplementary source is only for 32bit systems? bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C

Anybody willing to vote for the following OpenOffice.org bug: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52127 More details in: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107820 An excerpt from the OOo bug: ------- Additional comments from dfaure Wed Sep 28 05:30:40 -0700 2005 ------- I cannot stress enough how important it is that OpenOffice implements support for text:numbered-paragraph soon (before 2.0!), the whole point of the OpenDocument standard falls apart if KOffice and OpenOffice can't even exchange simple documents with numbered lists or bullets. ---- I think that this shows how important the bug is.... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Keyboard problem
by Christian Reppel 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hi there! I have a NEC Versa P520 Laptop with a keyboard on it, which has between the left shift and the z a button \ and with shifted | (I believe it is key 86). However, if I configure it to US-keyboard, all keys are right, but not that one. It becomes < >, which I already have. How can I solve this (for all applications, including the console)? Btw, is there a way to redefine the Windows key, so that it launches the KDE menu? I have tried doing it by SuSE>Control Center>Regional and then adding Win keys and redefining it to some ISO_Level3_Shift, but then it is launched everytime I use the Alt button left to the space, not the Win key. Thanks in advance, Ian. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk

A blank disk can not be mounted. Check that your device is corrected found and placed either as an IDE (/dev/hda,hdb.hdc) or under SCSI (/dev/sr0,sr1) emulation. Inspect your dmesg messages so you know what is where. Adam -----Original Message----- From: Carl William Spitzer IV <cwsiv(a)myrealbox.com> Subj: Re: [suse-kde] Does k3b support burning of 8GB dvd?

Qt/KDE Integration Bug
by Brad Pepers 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

There is a bug in the Qt/KDE integration patches to Qt in SuSE 9.3 which is causing third-party applications such as Quasar, Scribus, and LinCVS to fail to work properly. Its easy to duplicate and show and is a problem in the patch to redirect Qt QMessageBox static methods to KDE message boxes. The basic problem is that there are two ways to call the QMessageBox functions. One way you pass in the text for the buttons on the message box and it should return which button was pressed (0, 1, or 2). The other way to call something like QMessageBox::warning though is to pass in a list of button ids such as QMessageBox::Yes/No/Cancel/... and in this case what should be returned is the button id that was clicked. The replacement code added in SuSE 9.3 that passes these functions off to KDE treats these both the same and will return the button number (0/1/2) in each case. So any code that uses Qt and calls QMessageBox::warning with button ids of QMessageBox::Yes and QMessageBox::No and then checks the result to make sure it matches QMessageBox::Yes will now fail and the user is left with an application that won't do the work regardless of whether they choose Yes or No! I reported this to SuSE support and then to the Technical Feedback and have not yet seen a fix or any acknowledgment of the problem so I thought I would have one last kick at trying to get through to someone at SuSE to get this fixed. The only other alternative for applications effected is to static compile the application with our own copy of Qt which doesn't have the KDE integration patches but this is a pain and means the application doesn't have the native look and feel and SuSE should fix this problem! Here is a simple program to demonstrate the problem: #include <qapplication.h> #include <qmessagebox.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { QApplication app(argc, argv); int ch = QMessageBox::warning(NULL, "Test", "This is a test dialog", QMessageBox::Yes, QMessageBox::No); qDebug("choice = %d", ch); return 0; } Compile it and run it and try each button and you will see that its returning 0 and 1 for the buttons which are *not* the button ids like it should be. To show how it should work, disable the Qt/KDE integration using "export QT_NO_KDE_INTEGRATION=1" and run the program again and you will see the function returns back 3 and 4 which is QMessageBox::Yes and QMessageBox::No. -- Brad Pepers brad(a)linuxcanada.com

KDE Bug
by Christian Reppel 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Hi people at the desks! I haven't updated any kernel updates since a while, as I have had the problem, that my mouse froze at the start of KDE. I had to go to YaST, hardware and then mouse. Without altering anything, the mouse then worked again. I don't know whether anyone of you know, if this problem has been solved already. And if so, what kernel update should I get, not having to re-install the whole system again, which isn't my favourite way of spending my time. Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk
