Konqueror losing network connection
by Martin Knoblauch 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

Hi, this happens on SuSE-8.0, KDE-3.0.1, latest SuSE update. The page www.consors.de has a little "widget" where you can switch between various stock indices by just woving the mouse cursor over a little tab. When you do this for some time, the browser stops switching displays. When this happens, there is a good chance that the browser will not be able to contact any network URLs at all. Only solution is to close ALL konqueror windows. Only then will a new konqueror be able to contact the network.

Konqueror losing right scrollbar
by Martin Knoblauch 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

Hi, this happens on SuSE-8.0, KDE-3.0.1, latest SuSE update. Sometimes, no idea on how to reproduce, the right vertical scrollbar of the konqueror window disappears. Page up/down and Cursor up/down still work in tah window. Only way out is to open a new konqueror window with the same URL. Any ideas?

Re: [suse-kde] Help needed with Konqueror error

I had this problem momentarily the other day on one of my own html pages, then it seemed to go away by itself. What is YOU? Is that something else besides YAST2 or does YAST2 call it?

You don't have to fall back to 7.3...but I could suggest doing an update via YOU to get KDE 3.0.1 which fixed quite a problems. Also do this... 1. If your using the default GUI login..we need to turn that off for a few by doing this. A. At the login screen type ctrl+alt+f2 which should get you to a plain login prompt. B. Log in as root and type this .. rcxdm stop .. which will stop GUI login. It will drop you back to console one so just type alt+f2 again to get back to console 2. Then logout of that console and type alt+f1 to be at console 1 again. C. Please log in as yourself. Then do the following. 1. cd /tmp 2. rm -rf kde-<username> ksocket-<username> mcop-<username> 3. cd in your home directory. 4. rm -rf .mcop* and then in .kde you need to remove socket-<your machines name> and tmp-<your machines name> After doing the above just type startx which will of course start X for you...I hate KDM which is what that GUI login is. It's a KDE process and X process and if they "forget WTF they are doing" it can be hell on you. Anyway. Try Konq again and see what happens. This should clear her up. If it doesn't then it may just be a config file that's messed up and since that would take to long to figure out by email tag..do this as yourself in your own home directory after loging back out of KDE. mv .kde KDE-BACK This will move the config directory so that KDE when restarted can write a fresh set of configuration files. If this doesn't fix it. Something else is wrong. Mainly because I have too many people in the office and friends outside of the office running 8.0 and it seems fine. So make sure you follow the above directions and update KDE 3.0.1 which was a big maintence release that fixed a great many things.

Help needed with Konqueror error
by Antoni Mont 30 Jun '02

30 Jun '02

Hi all, I am new to the list as well as being fairly new to Linux, and I would appreciate if someone can help me with this trouble: Suddenly Konqueror refuse to handle htlm web sites. When I try to open a web site, a message pops up asking if I want to save on disk or open it with Konqueror (this message never appeared before). If I select "open" an error message arises saying that it seems to be a bad configuration because Konqueror can't handle text/html files. On the other side I have tried as root and it works perfectly. it seems to be something with the configuration of the Konqueror has become corrupted, but only for my usual user name, and not for the root. As for the htlm files stored on disk, I can open they without any difficulty. (?). Thanks, Toni

Embedded Konsole font error
by Joe Sullivan 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Hey all, When using Konsole by itself, I have no problems. But when using a "terminal emulator" embedded into Konqueror or Kate, turning the terminal emulator on gives a "Font '13' not found." Where can I change the settings for this embedded terminal? It works after I "OK" the error, but getting that error popup each time is starting to get annoying. Using: SuSE 7.3 Pro, KDE 3.0.1, installed all my TT fonts from Windoze98, etc. Later, Joe "Flame" Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firechild Web Design and CGI Scripting Services http://firechild.net Secretary, World Association of Internet Marketing http://waim.org Webmaster, Amerikanska - For Americans In Sweden http://amerikanska.com Meta-editor, Open Directory Project http://dmoz.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buddy, can you spare a click?
by Kevin McLauchlan 26 Jun '02

26 Jun '02

G'day all. This is another of my curiosity questions. Nothing is broken, I'm just curious... :-) In K-Mail, my Folders view shows something like: Mail | |- Inbox (22) |- outbox (1) |- sent-mail |- trash |- drafts |- Panda | |- inbox (12) | |- Booking_and_procedures (11) | |- Calendar | |- Contacts : : : : several more Outlook server folders : : | +- Public Folders | |_ Tasks (2) |- [SLE] |- FrameUsers |- SuSE-KDE (277) "Panda" is our incoming mail server. If I want my mail, I must click on "Panda" (which does nothing visible...) and then click on the "inbox" under Panda. If I just click "Panda", nothing further happens. If I just click Panda's "inbox", nothing further happens. If I click "Panda" and then I click "inbox", then K-Mail downloads the latest batch from the server. Note that, when I open K-Mail, Panda's folder list is already expanded. I don't need to click view the subfolders. So, why the need to click the server name before clicking the name of the inbox on the server? Just curious. Anybody know? Yeah, I know it's frivolous, but there's been no action in this list for a week. Everybody on vacation? Cheers, /kevin

SuSE8.0: Unable to login after NIS+automounter started
by Neal M. Holtz 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Hi, I've had SuSE 8.0 installed for a few hours, not long enough for me to completely mess it up. After I used YaST2 to enable NIS and automounting, I cannot log into any of the NIS user accounts through the graphical console login. The symptom is that the screen goes blank for a second or two, and the login screen comes back, with no diagnostic that I can see. The only thing that is written in /var/log/messages is: Jun 25 15:42:03 girt automount[31478]: attempting to mount entry /users/nholtz Jun 25 15:42:12 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session started for user nholtz, service xdm Jun 25 15:42:13 girt kdm[31579]: pam_unix2: session finished for user nholtz, service xdm The automount line looks reasonable (and correct). I can login on the grpahics console to any of the local (non-NIS managed accounts, non automounted accounts). I can also login to the NIS/automounted accounts from a shell using su, or remotely using ssh, so all the nis/automounting mechanism seems to be working OK. Its just the console logins that are a problem. Its probably a PAM setting somewhere, but I've looked quite a bit and couldn't find anything. There are enough differences from my existing installation of about 10 Caldera servers, that I'm lost. Also couldn't find anything in SuSE support DB. I would be grateful for any help.

Kmail starts over and over
by Anders Dahlqvist 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Whenever I enter X, be it in kde3, windowmaker or any other window manager, kmail starts just before the window manager starts, and it is not in my ~/.xinitrc . When I close down kmail, it restarts a minute or so after. It is as though I were running a script " while [ true ]; do kmail &; sleep 60; done" ;=) "grep -r kmail .[a-zA-Z]* " doesn't give me any clues. Clues, anyone? -- "He's just a politician trying to save both his faces ..."
