Using KDE3 & KDE2.2.2 at the same time?
by Teratam Bunyagul 18 May '02

Hello all, Could anyone tell me how you install KDE3 and still switch back to KDE2 whenever I want (with any version of kdm)? I have installed KDE3 once but couldn't go back to KDE2 anymore. I've looked through all the lists but could not find the solutions. Finally I had to uninstall KDE3. I don't know if there are any broken links left in the lib. How can I clean all these? I would like to use the SuSE's modified KDE2. I'm using SuSE7.3. Thank you Teratam Bunyagul

KMail 1.4 can't change the sender
by Michael 18 May '02

Hello, I' ve a little trouble with kmail1.4 under kde3.0. If I write a mail and change the identity to an other then standard and hit the sendbutton i always get the message "unknow sender" or similar. This message is ok, because kmail tried to send the mail with an other sender as standard but takes always the standard account. i.e. I like to send a mail with my t-online-account, so I choose the t-online-identity, but kmail tried to send this mail with web.de as standard. How can I change this, I know it must be possible, but I'm not able to find it. Michael

KDE 3
by Jim Adams 17 May '02

17 May '02

Hello All, First post. Recently upgraded to Personal 8.0 and having trouble with KDE 3. When logged in as root, anything I add to the panel is lost after rebooting. Normal users works just fine. Has anyone a solution to this. I did get the updated KDE 3 base package from the SuSE server. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Jim Adams

KDE3 Konqueror slow startup
by Martin Hill 16 May '02

16 May '02

I've been noticing strange behavior with konqueror in KDE3. I'm using SuSE 7.1/PPC with XFree 4.2, on an Apple G4. Konqueror spends about 40 seconds of CPU time before finally displaying the window. Most of this time is just after reading /opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/konqueror.rc, based on running konqueror under strace. I didn't find any revealing messages in .xsession-errors. Otherwise, my KDE3 installation seems to be fine. (well, if I could just get kdm from kde3 to work, instread of using the one from kde2). Thanks in advance, Martin

Frequent Mozilla crashes with SuSE 8.0
by Andrew Williams 15 May '02

15 May '02

Firstly, I hope this is not the wrong list. If it is, could someone be so kind as to gently point me towards the correct one. To the actual problem, - SuSE 8.0 (German version, installed in English) - essentially no KDE 2., I only really have KDE 3.0 and X11 4.2 installed. - processor: Via 866 with a newish Via motherboard (256M DDR266 Ram) - the original Mozilla version that comes with this release (the updated one comes up with a totally blank screen as in unusable for me. This itself is an indication that something is horribly wrong) The old Mozilla that came with 7.3 was pretty stable. The new one dies very frequently under a range of circumstances, some reproducible (certain websites). The new Netscape 6.x often dies before it has even finished loading, the old one was less stable than Mozilla was but nothing like this. The most recent abort was: /usr/X11/bin/mozilla: Line 72: 3578 Segmentation fault $prog {$1+"$@"} Now, I program mainframes and not this stuff. What does this mean (apart from the obvious)? Is something missing that should be installed and how do I find out? Thanks for your patience.

Problems with updateing to KDE3 on SuSE7.3
by Dunphy Richard-rdunph01 15 May '02

15 May '02

Had been updating the KDE2 on my machine regualarly until I saw the KDE3 files moved from experimental to the real subdirs - so decided to wait a while before updating. yesterday I decided to take the plunge and disaster struck! First thing to go wrong was my kde, kde2, and kde3 (from the experimental stuff) links in /usr/X11R6/bin were gone. No problem - replace them - but my startkde script in /opt/kde2/bin is missing. So now I can't even start KDE2!!! So - any chance anyone has a working one for KDE2 lying around then can send on? Next problem - rebooted machine back to init level 5. What's happened to KDM?! Only XDM is running. A little bit of investigation later and /opt/kde2/bin/kdm is also deleted! To cap it off I needed to edit /etc/init.d/xdm to check for /opt/kde3/bin/kdm instead (which works beautifully I must add). Next problem is that on every cold reboot I'm asked whether I want to load my KDE2 settings or make new KDE3 ones! Anyone know how to fix this? To make it worse - selecting the KDE2 settings doesn't even work properly as my background is wrong, etc.. Next one is what happened to my desktop icons? Yes I can create them again, but it's a bit of a pain. And one of the more iritating problems - I liked when SuSE integrated YAST2 into the KDE Control Center and provided menus, etc.. Now they are no more. How can I get these back? And finally - it's very unstable. I use MPlayer quite a bit which means I need to killoff artsd, start Mplayer then restart artsd. But so for this results in the X session crashing as soon as I go back to KDE applications. Any ideas? Anyway, Apart from all that - KDE3 is faster and much better looking than it's predecessor. I'll be using it over and above KDE2 for my desktop, but until I can get the above problems sorted it's still going to be fluxbox on my laptop! RikD.
