Editing files from KonqSU
by Carl 26 May '02

26 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Having this problem: as user, can't right-click and edit files in Konq as superuser. Says KDEInit could not launch 'kdesu' . Previous answers were to $ xhost +localhost , and # xauth merge /home/username/.Xauthority # export DISPLAY=:0.0 but neither of these works for me. The former is supposed to be a security problem, but I don't see why. Does this force it to listen on TCP? I also tried $ xhost LOCAL: , and it doesn't work either. Anyone know why this happens? It is a serious pain. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzxMqAACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvzlQCfeLUhm46OWW5WI9I48m4sPR1E 3MwAn0W2ZzM5Hd/AArNl4FSDTDDI5zUY =AOe4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

KMail ignoring config file
by Carl 26 May '02

26 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . OK, KMail definitely is ignoring its /home/{user}/.kde/share/config/kmailrc file. I investigated this when I suddenly lost signatures. Made changes to kmailrc (Identity), and they are not taking effect. Can anyone explain this? AND, when you specify a person is to be encrypted to all the time, you can never revoke this. I can't find where this info might be stored. Not in kab. How would you turn off encryption to a specific recipient? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjzxE3UACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvunwCfbktj/6N2zUWkeT6Mwh4mutIM YPEAn1/hzsku5aHzAosxrihGU+9s9wse =dkwb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [suse-kde] KDE CUPS broken -- SOLVED
by Ron Cordell 26 May '02

26 May '02

Sure - I thought I _was_ being specific, but everything is relative ;-) I renamed the .kde to .kde-orig, and the .kde2 to .kde2-orig, and renamed .kderc to .kderc-orig. Just to be sure, I removed the directories .dcop* and .mcop*. Doing this forces KDE to start from "scratch" as all the settings are now no longer present. By the way, these files are in your home directory. The caveat is that if you want settings for KMail and other things back, you need to move them from .kde-orig to the newly created .kde. You will find relevant files in .kde/share/config/... and .kde/share/apps/... For example, for KMail, there are configuration files in .kde-orig/share/config/kmailrc and mailbox and filter rules in .kde-orig/share/apps/kmail. Move these files or directories for KMail to their counterparts in the newly created .kde directory. Let me know if that helps or if you need more information. -ronc On Saturday 25 May 2002 01:07 pm, Meije Oppenhuizen wrote: > Ron Cordell wrote: > > I fixed this problem by renaming the .kde and .kde2 and .kderc files and > > restarting KDE3. > > Could you please be a little more specific? > Which files did you rename to what? > I have been struggling with this for some time now. > Many thanks in advance, -- 8:09pm up 5 days, 9:54, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.07, 0.01

KDE CUPS broken
by Ron Cordell 25 May '02

25 May '02

For some reason that I have not been able to fathom, printing in KDE via CUPS no longer works. It worked yesterday, but not today. Today I get the error message "There was an error loading kdeprint_cups. The diagnostic message was" and that's it. The cups daemon is up and running. KDE Control center also shows the same error message when bringing up the printer dialog. Does anyone have any clues where to begin? Thanks, -ronc -- 10:41am up 26 min, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

KMail & server password
by Kevin McLauchlan 24 May '02

24 May '02

If I'm overlooking the obvious, just slap me around... By preference, my outgoing messages are sent immediately, rather than held in the outbox for manual mass sending. Whenever I send a message (via SMTP server), I'm prompted for password. Is there a way to have my password remembered for the duration of the current session, only? I prefer to re-authenticate at the start of each session, but it's a bit much to re-enter the password for each sent message. . I didn't see anything in the Settings menu (I thought "Security" would be the place for stuff about passwords...), but I'm known for missing things that are right under my nose... it's a big nose... casts a deep shadow... :-) /kevin

KDE3/Konqueror: How to set the expiration intervall for "visited links"
by Martin.Knoblauch 24 May '02

24 May '02

Hi, please see subject. Google and the unsenet groups did not help me. Sorry if this still is a FAQ. My basic problem is that "visited links" seem to expire after about 24h in konqueror. This is about two week two early for me :-) Although I looked pretty hard, I did not find a way to change/specify this behaviour. My system is running SuSE8.0/KDE3, latest online updates. Thanks Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Martin Knoblauch | email: Martin.Knoblauch(a)TeraPort.de TeraPort GmbH | Phone: +49-89-510857-309 C+ITS | Fax: +49-89-510857-111 http://www.teraport.de | Mobile: +49-170-4904759

KGhostview crops pictures arbitrarily in PDF?
by Kevin McLauchlan 24 May '02

24 May '02

G'day all. Anybody else notice this? I created a 4-page document (in FrameMaker, if it makes a difference...) and made a PDF of it. The document included several screen-captures. When I view it in KGhostview, the first two pages are fine, but starting with the third page, each picture loses its top half. The placement remains intact, such that the pictures are in the right place on the page, but the upper half of each picture is just white-space. The picture is not scrunched or compressed. It just has its upper half erased. I view the same file in Acrobat Reader (KDE3 on SuSE 8) and it looks fine. All the included pictures are complete and are properly displayed. Any ideas?

krabber does not recognize my cdrom and cdrw
by Stefan Schlorholz 24 May '02

24 May '02

Hello, after bringing xcdroast to work by enabling scsi emulation for my cdrom Toshiba IDE) the krabber program does not recognize my cdrom any longer. It worked before I enabled the scsi emulation. krabber also does not see the cdrw which is a true scsi device (Plextor). Does anybody know how to solve that problem? It would be nice if both devices would be recognized in krabber.
