Mailing list management
by Bob S 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hello SuSE people, Using Kmail 1.9.1 Am subscribed to several mailing list including this one. Designated folders for each list. I use the "Mailing List Management" tool to designate the folders as mailing lists. That works for that session only. If I close Kmail and restart it the setting is lost. Any idea what I can do to make Kmail remember these settings, or is it a bug in Kmail? Bob S.

Distant X connection
by Patrick Serru 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hi, I have no problem connecting my Suse Novell 10.0 box to an other distant Suse Novell 10.0 box, using ssh. Now, I would like to know what to do to use X through ssh. While using local display :0 for current local work, I dream to start the distant KDE on local display :1 and log on as I would be in front of the distant computer. I dont want to use the sharing destop ability of KDE, exepted if it is possible to do it through ssh. Starting by the logging screen or directly entering the user (used by ssh) KDE session, it does not matter wich way. Thant you for the attention paid to this mail, Sincerly, Patrick

monospaced font fehlt
by Christian Fröbel 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Moin, ich habe gerade frisch SuSE 10.0 OSS installiert, incl. KDE. Jetzt möchte ich gerne den Fixed-Width-Font über das Control Center ändern. Dort kann man neben "Fixed width" z. B. auch noch die Fonts für "General", "Toolbar" usw. einstellen. Die Auswahllisten, die ich bekomme, wenn ich auf "Choose" klicke, sind immer gleich -- nur nicht bei "Fixed width"; dort fehlt unter anderem gerade der Font, den ich einstellen will: "SuSE Sans Mono". Warum kann ich den überall wählen, nur nicht da, wo's Sinn macht? Oder gibt's einen anderen Trick? thx, Christian

How is KDE 3.5.2 ??
by Bob S 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hello SuSE KDE people, Running 10.0 Have been doing regular updates with apt. I had upgraded KDE 3.4 to 3.5.1 and had problems with Kmail and not being able to access the addressbook correctly for addressing the "To" recipient. (Reported as a bug) I reverted to 3.4.2 so Kmail would work properly. Now KDE 3.5.2 has been released. I am reluctant to upgrade because of the problem with 3.5.1. Has anyone out there upgraded and found that the Kmail bug was fixed? I hate to just try it and find out I have to revert again. That is a big PITA. Thanks guys. Comments appreciated. Bob S.

Re: [suse-kde] Distant X connection

Hi Joshua, hi everybody Thank you for your response. It is really not a confidence problem. I think VNC is good for controling and really nice for somethink like showing or teaching. And using VNC means that if I want to do some job a graphical way while someone is allready working on remote computer, this person should have to stop his/her work. Some jobs have to be done a graphical way, especialy configuration of some KDE software. For instance, I wnated to configure an extra acount in kmail for the usual user to receive internal administrative root mails. I tryed with the shell, editing ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc but of course, it did not work. Further more: the ADSL modem of the remote computer is not set for remote control (I dont want it until now) and I tryed to configure it with the shell using lynx... I discoved that it is not possible. I look in the direction of X forwording in local commands like: ssh -X -f root(a)ip.addr.of.server DISPLAY=ip.addr.of.client:1 /opt/kde3/bin/startkde and xhost +ip.addr.of.server But nothing is working. I know that it could be possible to spye with X, just displaying a user sceen without it's knowledge, but I dont want it. I allready have acces to the financial files of this (distant) user! I espected some one near KDE working group could help me... I continue waiting for other positive responses. If an advanced KDE or X hacker hesitate to put the response on a public list, he has just to say that ssh and sshd must be well configured to be really secured, that's all. Sincerly, Patrick I sent this mail to the list, too. Is that correct ? ---------------------------------------------- Le Jeudi 30 Mars 2006 19:16, vous avez écrit : > I do not thing using just ssh could be a solution to this.

RPMS froms ftp.kde.org
by Karaoulis Marios 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, i was searching the rpms from ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.1/SuSE/x86_64/10.0/ Are they the same as ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/ ? I noticed also in the kdemulimedia the missing mp3 support from suse. Is any chance to install these rpms to recover the mp3 support (nad maybe other stuff) without the need of packman ?

kill kmail preview
by Gracia M. Littauer 28 Mar '06

Do you know if there's a way to turn off the "preview" of mail -- so that you don't open a message for reading unless you specifically click on it to open it? I don't want any spam auto-opening ... -- Gracia...Cooleemee, NC Registered Linux user #263390 - SuSE 10 Pro My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right, if wrong, to be put right.

How does Konqueror identify text file types? (c, cpp, h, hpp ...)
by Shriramana Sharma 25 Mar '06

25 Mar '06

I have some C++ header files as *.h which Konqueror identifies as "Java Source File"s. If I rename those files to *.hpp Konqueror correctly identifies them as "C++ Header File"s. I have some C header files as *.h which Konqueror correctly identifies as "C Header File"s. But there are also other C header files as *.h which Konqueror calls "Plain Text File"s. I am totally confused as to what logic Konqueror uses to identify the sub-category of a plaintext file. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.51 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-03-25 W12-6 UTC+0530
