Default Settings for user logging in for the first time
by Benjamin Zeller 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hi List, is there any Documentation available, in which way SuSE takes Settings for a new user? To clarify this question a little bit: $user logs on to KDE for the first time. Therefore he doesn't have a .kde-folder in his home directory. Now the question: From where are the settings taken, upon which .kde is built, i mean the Default-Settings. How is this realised at SuSE(9.3) and which Directories/Files do play a role? It looks like, that SuSE found his own way to "hide" several KDE-Settings. Are these things documented somewhere? Sorry for my rather bumpy english today, I guess I should find some more sleep or get more coffee :-) Greetings, Benni -- Benjamin Zeller Ing.-Büro Hohmann Bahnhofstr. 34 D-82515 Wolfratshausen Tel.: +49 (0)8171 347 88 12 Mobil: +49 (0)160 99 11 55 23 Fax: +49 (0)8171 910 778 mailto: zeller(a)ibh-wor.de www.ibh-wor.de

Mark, First of all: Please make sure that you always reply to the Mailinglist. > Thank you for the e-mail. This is my first experience with Linux so I'm > only starting to learn my way around it. As for your questions: I know that Linux is sometimes a hard thing. But don´t give up - everything I wanted could be realized! And the community is greeeat what concerns support! > 1. I don't know why the smp-kernel is mentioned (I don't even know why > this is relevant, but again I'm new. But I do know that when I type: > ================== > linux:/usr/src/ndiswrapper-1.9 # uname -r > 2.6.13-15.8-smp > ================== Your laptop, does it have an Intel CPU? I know that there are Intel CPUs which are build up with 2 cores, and that´s why SuSE chooses the multi-kernel (=smp) at installation time. So this could be correct! > 3. What do you mean by check for an ndiswrapper? When I type lsmod, it > does show up in that list of running operations. Other than that I'm not > sure what you mean. I mean if you checked in the internet if there´s a new version. The website is: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ But this should be one of the last things we´re going to do! Next thing: After having installed the driver with ndiswrapper, please send the output of the following commands: - ifconfig - iwconfig - rcnetwork status Greets, Dennis

No notifications from korganizer on SUSE 9.1/KDE 3.5.0
by Ingo Strauch 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

Hi all, I just noticed that I don't get any notifications from korganizer. For example an event where I configured to get a notification dialog 15 minutes prior to the event. Nothing happened. I found out that I don't have the kalarmd icon in the tray. Starting "kalarmd" from the command line didn't yield any output or error and the icon was not appearing. I can see the process with "ps" nonetheless. But it just isn't working. In addition I don't see any menu entry to start it. And no right-click in the tray to add it either. I'm using SUSE 9.1 Personal with the KDE 3.5 package from the "supplementary" repositories. Does anybody have an idea what's wrong?

hard coded Icon Positions
by Stefan Müller 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

Hi, I put some icons onto my desktop and want them to stay at the positions I put them. One icon is placed at X=40 and Y=560 with a 1048x756 screen. My problem is that KDE nows better than me where to place the icon, therefore the icon moves downward every time I log in. Is there a way to tell KDE not to change the positions that I specify in IconPositions? Thank you very much and best wishes Stefan Müller -- Stefan Müller Universität Potsdam Tel: (+49) (+331) 977-2180 http://www.cl.uni-bremen.de/~stefan/ http://www.cl.uni-bremen.de/~stefan/Babel/Interaktiv/

Wireless in Suse 10.0
by Mark Diffley 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

I am very new to Suse linux and trying to set up my wireless connection. I am having trouble getting Yast to configure the device. The subsystem sees the device but Yast will not let me configure it. I'm pretty sure that I set it up correctly in Yast. The link below shows the terminal output for trying to get it to work after installing ndiswrapper and then configuring the new device in Yast. http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=20652 If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it. Thank you, Mark

Re: [suse-kde] Synchronizing palm-pilot with kmail
by Jan Neuhäußer 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

For your information: I posted a similar question on the kdepim-users lists and got the following answer from Adriaan de Groot. Cheers Jan From kdepim-users: > I read some postings on this mailing list, speeking about broken interfaces > concerning email. _Sending_ email from a Palm via KMail is broken in KDE 3.5.x, due to a change in KMail's interface. > What is the actual status? Is it possible to sync emails from a palm (I am > using a M505) with kmail? I have kpilot version 4.5.4 installed with > pilot-link 0.11.8. It seems to me, that it is only possible to send emails. In the current KPilot - the one developed outside of KDE SVN, at www.kpilot.org - sending works again (probably - I just fixed the use of the interface, haven't tested); there is no retrieval of mail. No one has wanted mail retrieval badly enough the past three years to do something about it. I don't think it's that _hard_, you can either walk a maildir folder, parse an mbox (eww) or use DCOP to ask KMail for the contents of a folder (I think - I haven't seen what's actually *in* FolderIface). For each message, write it to the database on the Palm (taking into account that the mail DB only can handle an 8k message). Straightforward, but it needs someone to pick it up. Am Mittwoch, 1.

Did somebody already install kde-3.5.1? How is it compared to 3.5.0, that I'm running now? Any trouble or just install and all is working better? Looking forward to your feedback! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

libdrm missing on update to KDE 3.5.1
by Sven Burmeister 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hello! When I update to KDE 3.5.1 via Yast from the supp-dir I get two conflicts. - libdrm-devel is missing and needed by kdelibs-devel - khotkeys still wants kdebase 3.5.0 I found packages for libdrm, yet not supplied by suse and since I do not use khotkeys, just the question, if anybody encountred any problems after ignoring that dependency. Cheers, Sven
