I've looked and looked. How does one change color depth in KDE? I can change resolutions via the keyboard, but number of colors???

[SLE] From Ed. O'Brien

Please e-mail responses to edwardobrien(a)englishfirst.co.id edwardobrien(a)englishfirst.co.id problem with gtk/apps after 6.2 ->6.3 upgrade After upgrading to 6.3 my gnome/gtk themes have colours but no adornments or pixmaps. Everything works fairly well otherwise. tarting gtk apps from an x-term I get the following output complaint % /opt/gnome/bin/MyGTK.app Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so", this warning is repeated add infinitum every time a new window is drawn, It seems safe for a naive person such as myself to assume that libpixmap.so helps prettify many of the do-dads in gtk windows. My question is 1. Is it possible to configure module_path to find the loadable module? 2. Where might I findthe loadable module, module_path and libpixmap.so (what package/s) and/or where might I expect to find the parked If they are indeed already installed? Another related issue is that after the upgrade the theme engine would not see the themes in /usr/share/themes but recognised them in /usr/local/share/theme (albeit san adornments as mentioned above) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] Keyboard problems (1)
by chris.reeves＠iname.com 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

Hi all, Ever since I got my nice new keyboard, I've been having a few problems with keys. The keyboard is a Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro. It's not IR, but works with radio instead, and it has an adapter from PS/2 to AT to go in the back of the PC. I'm running SuSE 6.1, kernel 2.2.5, XFree86 3.3.3.1-20. Now on to the problem(s): ---- When using the cursor keys to navigate through a document, etc., I get spurious numbers popping up at seemingly random intervals. Say I was holding down the left cursor arrow to move to the start of a line (I could use home, but then I wouldn't have an example...). As the cursor is moving to the left a number 4 will often appear on the screen. If I move right I get a 6, up gives an 8, and down a 2. These numbers only appear when I'm pressing the cursor keys. I don't even have to keep my finger on the key. Even a single left arrow key press (for example) will produce a 4, instead of moving the cursor left. Sometimes I can go the whole line without a 4 appearing, and other times I'll get a 4 appearing every few characters. This is decidedly wierd. My first thought was that this could be because of the radio link. What do you think? This is starting to get very annoying as it make it very hard during telnet sessions when home and end sometimes don't work. ---- My second problem could also be related to the radio link perhaps? Sometimes the left Shift or Alt keys become 'stuck' AND I FIND MYSELF WRITING IN CAPS. I can get the Shift key off by pressing the left Shift key, and I can 'unstick' the Alt key by pressing the Windows Menu next to the Control key on the right. I can't be sure whether or not this happens even if I don't press the Shift key at all (I think this might be the case) and I haven't been able to reproduce this behaviour at will. Could this problem be the result of accidentally hitting one of the 'Windows' keys? What about the StickyKeys option for X - does that have anything to do with this? Or is this a 'feature' of some sort? ---- Hmm. My questions always seem to become very long. Sorry. Hope you can help, and thanks in advance, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Multisession is a feature of the writer and driver, not the disc. Any CD-R you buy can handle becoming a multisession disc if it can be used at all.

[SLE] Error "modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000" in new SuSE 6.3 installation
by kpapad＠hyper.gr 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

On a freshly installed "clean" SuSE 6.3 setup, the system reports continously (/dev/console and in /var/log/: Feb 1 02:57:34 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Feb 1 03:01:18 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Feb 1 03:01:18 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Feb 1 03:02:01 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Feb 1 03:02:01 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 Feb 1 03:10:26 hypernet modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 The only thing that has changed, is that we changed the network card from a NE2000 (PCI) compatible (ne2k-pci) one, used for the installation, to an SMC EtherPower (tulip). We did that change from "ne2k" to "tulip" using YaST. Also, during boot-up, the system STILL reports a problem in loading the NE2000 PCI driver, which ofcourse is not logged (as I guess that no logging daemon runs at that early point of the systems startup). There is no reference to "ne2k-pci" in any of the configuration files though ... Lateron in the boot process, Linux loads the "tulip.o" driver and connects without problems to the network. Short of re-installing from scratch, could someone provide any hints on what is going on? I've searched the Internet on the keyword "binfmt-0000" but none of the stuff I found had any relevance to this situation ...

[SLE] rcs and shell scripting
by activex1＠one.net 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

Ok, folks I have used another verions of rcs in the past, it has a switch -F <filename>. The <filename> would be a file that contains a list of files to check in/out. The version of rcs that comes with Linux doesn't have this option. How do I simulate this? Does anyone have an idea on how I can take a file that has one file per line and put them all onto the back end of a commend line? If the file is: /-------------Begine line1 line2 line3 /-------------End I want it to end up like this ci line1 line2 line3 How can I do this? -- Sam Carleton ------------ http://www.bigfoot.com/~scarleton (Homepage) http://www.uptimes.net/hostinfo.html?hid=1218 (Linux Box) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
