Manually adding new WM to KDM
by Alessandro Orsi 28 May '02

28 May '02

Hi all, does anybody knows how to manually add a new window manager to KDM drop down menu so that it can lunch it? Adding an item to KDM is quite simple (through the Control Panel) but I don't know how to execute the WM. I'm using SuSE8.0 and I really don't understand how the Xsession script from SuSE works. Cheers, Ale. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

I have installed kde 3.01 into my Suse 7.3 by downloading and installing the Suse RPMs from KDE.org. Most programs work, but several come up with the same problem regaarding shared libraries: lumpy@linux:~> knode knode: error while loading shared libraries: knode: undefined symbol: addColumn__9KListViewRC7QStringi ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! lumpy@linux:~> kmail kmail: error while loading shared libraries: kmail: undefined symbol: addColumn__9KListViewRC7QStringi ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! lumpy@linux:~> kcontrol kcontrol: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/kcontrol.so: undefined symbol: addColumn__9KListViewRC7QStringi Am I missing a library or have the wrong version?

KDE3 ate my menus!
by Joshua Lee 27 May '02

27 May '02

I have installed KDE3 using the RPMs SuSE supplies for 7.3 in the supplementary directory. (Originally running YOU-upgraded 2.2.2) After a lot of dependency fulfilling I finally got it to install. :-) The only problem is that I no longer have any program enteries in my menus. When I first ran it, it asked me if I wanted to import my old settings. I said "yes", and when it started I had three empty menus (including the K menu) instead of the SuSE ones. How do I get it to import my old menus, or failing that, how do I get it to ask the question again so it can hopefully produce KDE3 default menus that work? -- "What's another word for Thesaurus?" -- Steven Wright

Kdm does not start
by k _ 27 May '02

27 May '02

Hello. I have installed KDE 3.0.1 from the SuSE ftp server and i have edited the files that are mentioned in the Unofficial FAQ for installing KDE3 in 7.3. Everything is OK but the big problem is that KDM does not start. It tries to start 3 times but it fails with the following message from the Ctrl-F10 console: "----------------------- May 26 18:51:51 linux kdm[3095]: Greeter exited unexpectedly May 26 18:51:51 linux kdm[3095]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 May 26 18:51:55 linux kdm[3101]: Greeter exited unexpectedly May 26 18:51:55 linux kdm[3101]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 May 26 18:51:58 linux kdm[3107]: Greeter exited unexpectedly May 26 18:51:58 linux kdm[3107]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 May 26 18:52:02 linux kdm[3113]: Greeter exited unexpectedly May 26 18:52:02 linux kdm[3113]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 11 May 26 18:52:02 linux kdm[3093]: Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast) -----------------------" Notice that GDM and XDM works fine.... Does anyone knows anything about it ? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

[suse-kde] KMail Encrypting to Outlock - Bad Session Key
by Carl 27 May '02

27 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . I seem to be the only one on the globe with this problem. When I encrypt a message using KMail and GPG, to an Outlook user, they invariably get a message, "encrypted session key is bad". Checking Google there is some confusion, but the most credible answer (from Disastry) is this is: "probably because of MDC. GPG uses MDC with AES,Twofish. however 6.5.8ckt06 should be able to decrypt Blowfish encrypted msgs. "you can disable MDC with --openpgp switch. then 6.5.8ckt06 should be able to decrypt all ciphers. "> P.S. Disastry... what's MDC and why does GnuPG use it? "Modification Detection Code, generaly SHA1 hash of message appended to message before encryption." OK, so the problem is messages are being encrypted with the wrong algos. Algo order is hard-coded in GPG, and I'm not going to change/recompile. I want to stay as standard as possible. So the answer is to set the switch --openpgp . After a full day of research I have ascertained that KMail uses code fragments from the old KPGP... actually .css , to hook GPG. I need somewhere to tell GPG to use the --openpgp switch. Normally this would be in the ~/.gnupg/options file , but I added the line openpgp and it has no effect. So GPG must be getting called with a different config, maybe via an environment variable. Another option is to have the KMail|GPG interface use --openpgp as an option to the invoking command, but I cannot find this interface anywhere. I believe Geheimnis is the successor to KPGP, so I installed it from the Suse8 disks. Started it up, and it wanted to be configured. JOY, there is a place to modify the commandline, although I do not know whether this is the same commandline invoked by KMail. So I set up Geheimnis, leave it running and send an email encrypted. Whoops, still bad sessionkey. AND when I stop and restart Geheimnis it forgot I had already set it up! It is not writing its ~/.geheimnis file. It was running as my user, but it couldn't/wouldn't write to my user dir. Could this be related to KMail not reading its config file, as I noted in my post titled, "KMail ignoring config file"? Seriously considering going back to Netscape mail. Too scared of Evolution's bugs. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzyTngACgkQnQ18+PFcZJuWFgCeJgUcqm+Zmmx21jNfV+W+792v jAYAn2WId6C2soILzmXp0LMFxQyl3OYz =1bOq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

conversion from mbox (KMail) to Outlook
by Torsten Reimer 27 May '02

27 May '02

Hi everybody, I am forced to use linux and Windows on the same machine, which works quite good. But there is one problem I was unable to solve: I can import all my Outlook Express mail-folders to KMail (mbox), but there seems to be no way to reimport those mails back to Outlook (neither Express nor Outlook 2000). Resending all those mails and downloading them with Outlook won't work, since there are about 100 MB stored in those folders. Can anybody help? Without the option to move between KMail and Outlook I am forced to to all my email with Windows. Cheers, Torsten
