SuSE 8.0 mit KDE3: dcopserver startet nicht
by Matthias Hentges 24 May '02

24 May '02

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen SuSE 8.0 mit KDE3 installiert. Alles funktionierte einwandfrei nach der Installation (zumindest gab es keine Probleme, die man nicht schnell hätte loesen koennen) Doch jetzt macht auf einmal KDE3 Ärger, und ich weis nicht warum. Jedesmal wenn ich mich mit Kdm oder Gdm in KDE3 einloggen möchte bricht der Ladedevorgang bei "Setting up interprocess communication" ab. Der Grund dafür ist, dass sich der dcopserver nicht starten lässt. Hier sind die Meldungen aus der Konsole wenn ich KDE "von Hand" starten möchte: mhentges@mhcln01:..c/opt/gnome/gdm/Sessions >./kde //usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so: Feature JPEG already defined in /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so! //usr/lib/qt-3.0.3/plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so: Feature MNG already defined in /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats/libqmng.so! QObject::connect: No such slot QNetworkProtocol::newClient(int) QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') DCOPServer self-test failed. QFile::getch: File not open QFile::getch: File not open kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. QObject::connect: No such slot QNetworkProtocol::slotTerminate() QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: No such slot QNetworkProtocol::slotCleanDeadConnections() QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'unnamed') Warning: connect() failed: : Connection refused DCOPServer self-test failed. QFile::getch: File not open QFile::getch: File not open kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting. Ganz offensichtlich schlägt der Selbsttest vom dcopserver fehl, doch dieses Problem kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Hier die Ausgabe, wenn ich den dcopserver "von Hand" aufrufe: mhentges@mhcln01:..c/opt/gnome/gdm/Sessions >dcopserver DCOPServer up and running. mhentges@mhcln01:..c/opt/gnome/gdm/Sessions > Da ich KDE3 nicht als Desktop verwende weis ich leider nicht was das Problem hervorgerufen haben könnte. Die neusten Updates von YOU sind installiert, und mir gehen die Ideen aus :( Ich habe schreibrechte für /tmp, habe alle alten Dateien und Ordner aus /tmp gelöscht und mein ~/.kde bzw ~/Desktop verschoben aber es hat nichts gebracht Vieleicht hat jemand das gleiche Problem und kennt die Lösung? In der Supportdatenbank war jedenfalls nichts zu finden. -- Matthias Hentges Contact-Information: E-Mail@Home: eebe(a)gmx.net My Homepage: http://www.hentges.net You can get my public PGP or GnuPG key from http://www.hentges.net/keys.html

Kinternet authentication problem
by Konstantinos Gerakis 23 May '02

23 May '02

Hello, I've recently installed SuSE Linux 8.0 Personal and I have some problems with the kinternet application. When I configure my 56k modem dial-up connection using YAST2 and try to connect via kinternet, after a short time the modem hangs-up. From the log window I get something like this: ... pppd: User Access Verification pppd: Username: pppd: --> Looks like a login prompt. pppd: --> Sending: dummy pppd: dummy pppd: Password: pppd: --> Looks like a password prompt. pppd: --> Sending: (password) pppd: % Authentication failed. pppd: Username: pppd: --> Looks like a login prompt. pppd: --> Sending: dummy pppd: dummy pppd: Password: pppd: --> Looks like a password prompt. pppd: --> Sending: (password) pppd: % Authentication failed. pppd: NO CARRIER Stopping connection. (2002-05-22 22:17:43 EEST) ... I have checked the username and the password and I can also connect via kppp without any problems. What's going wrong?Any ideas? By the way, what does the name "SuSE" stand for? Thanks in advance

Icons disappear under KDE 2.2.1
by Martin Mielke 22 May '02

22 May '02

Dear all, some time ago I installed SuSE 7.3 with KDE 2.2.1. The system works fine but from time to time and suddenly, all desktop icons either disappear or loose their functionality; I mean, I can't click on them to launch an application. Once I left the computer turned on after the icons went away and they where back and "clickable" after about 20-30 minutes. Any ideas about what could be happening?? Thanks in advance! Martin

KDE log in
by bob barish 21 May '02

21 May '02

Hello Everyone; I have an interesting issue. When I log into Kde and then type "users" I get three incidences of myself logged in. At first I thought I was hacked and did a network stop then logged out of KDE and then logged in on the command line. When I logged in I had only one incident of me logged in. As soon as I logged into KDE again I saw myself logged in three times again. The network was still turned off. So I do not believe I was not seeing others logged on as me. I have no idea where to begin and how to fix it! Please lend a helping hand. -- Bob Barish, CTO B.M.T Solutions http://www.bmtsolutions.com Go confidently into your dreams 1:40pm up 11 min, 3 users, load average: 0.20, 0.14, 0.09

Is this correct Konq behavior? (was: [SLE] Linux & Main: SuSE 8.0 bashing!
by Kevin McLauchlan 21 May '02

21 May '02

I switched lists because this seemed more K-appropriate. On Wednesday 15 May 2002 08:48, Jostein Berntsen wrote to the [SLE] list: > Reviews: > > http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/25215.html > http://www.linuxbeginner.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=47 > http://www.zdnet.com.au/itmanager/technology/story/0,2000029587,20264366,00 >.htm A little peculiarity that I noted, when I viewed the URLs that you provided. The second URL page includes an insert, on the right-hand side, for login to an account on that site. Konqueror comes up, loads the site, and for a brief instant displays the page with all the parts in the right places. Then, Konq settles down by stripping the right-margin wrapping of the main text, causing it to run through the frame containing the login stuff. The same URL, visited with Mozilla displays correctly. The questions, then, are: 1) What in heck is Konq "thinking", that it gets it right for a second-or-two, and then messes up (after showing that it knows how to properly display the page)? 2) What setting might I have mis-configured, to cause this odd behavio[u]r? This is SuSE 8, KDE 3.0.0, Konq 3.0.0, reaching out through my employer's network. Thanks for any insights. /kevin

Shutdown dragon gone - SOLVED
by Carl 21 May '02

21 May '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Some of us got strange behaviour in K after we set file security to Secure. For example I lost the dragon shutdown dialog, could no longer right-click|edit in Konq, and KMail would no longer fortune. I noticed Michael Kollender's recent message to this list (below), and applied his changes even though I am running K3 on Suse8. Got the dragon back. I know, pitiful... big whup. But maybe this also fixed other more subtle problems. Still can't right-click|edit in Konqsu. It was suggested to xhost +localhost , but it's a security problem. It was also suggested: # xauth merge /home/username/.Xauthority # export DISPLAY=:0.0 on boot, but this doesn't work. And I cannot grasp the intricacies of what this does, much less what the problem is, so cannot troubleshoot. KMail doesn't fortune, and starting it from konsole yields NO messages. It doesn't seem to have a logfile. ? Can anyone advise? (What happened to the K traffic? Is everyone on -en?) ======================================== Michael Kollender schreib: Applies to SuSE 7.3 To fix it: a.. mkdir /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm ln -s /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ln -s /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xaccess b.. edit the files in /etc/SuSEconfig and change: qt2 ? qt3 and kde2 ? kde3 c.. edit /etc/init.d/xdm, change: kde2 ? kde3 d..

Dear List, KMail on SuSE 8.0 is eating my email! When I open KMail, it displays a line per email that is in my in-box; the line lists "Subject" "Sender" etc. But when I click on a line it changes to "No Subject" and the content window below is empty!! I don't want to loose valuable emails; what can I do? Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there another more reliable email client? PeterB
