[SuSE Linux] .xsession-errors file excessively large. kscd.
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

HI all, I have just run out of room on my system, and noticed that I have a 68MB x-session-errors file. When I looked in this file, most of the lines are /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory. Now this is fair enough as I don't have a cdrom. However, I think this is caused by kscd. Two copies of it start up automatically every time I log in. Obviously I'm running kde. It is version 1.0 and I'm running suse5.2. So I guess my real question is how do I stop kscd from running automatically?

[SuSE Linux] patching kernel 2.2.3 -> 2.2.4
by zentara＠mindspring.com 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

Hi, I have the complete 2.2.3 kernel source, and there is a patch for the latest 2.2.4 kernel. Can this be applied to the 2.2.3 source? Or do I need to apply the whole set of 2.2.* patches? It seems to me that the 2.2.3 source code package should be equivalent to the 2.2.0 package with the 2.2.1, and 2.2.2, and 2.2.3 patches applied. Is this correct? It seems like a dumb question, but I just want to make sure. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] Plentiful icons for KDE?
by abrahams＠valinet.com 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

KDE seems to come with a very meager supply of icons, all of which have *.xpm names. Are there other forms of icons that can be used with KDE? Any good sources of collections of them? And is there a way to convert Windows icons (there are some very large collections of *those* around) to the .xpm form? Another question about icons in KDE. The top of the screen displays the active applications, each with an icon. Some of these (not KDE apps) have icons that don't show up in any other context, and I gather that those icons are embedded somehow in the program's binary file. Is there a way to extract them for use in other contexts?
