But I could not display Japanese characters on kterm window. zenkato@benny:~ > kterm: unable to open font "", trying "fixed".... Couldn't set locale: ja_JP.eucJP,ja_JP.ujis,ja_JP.EUC,japanese.euc,Japanese-EUC,ja,japan Where and how to set up ja_JP.EUC? I wrote in my ~/.bashrc as follows; export LANG=ja_JP.EUC I could input and display Japanese in emacs and xemacs and also installed kinput2 on SuSE7.0. -- Zen Kato

KDE splash screen hang fix
by Crazy Diamond 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Victor was right on about fixing the long splash screen hang and long logout. I moved my .kde2 dir to something else and then logged in to kde and let kde setup a new one. I lost some settings but it seems to load up much quicker. (Kde also set up the menus better) Nice fix, thanks, CrazyDiamond "I no longer have that problem. I did rename my ~/.kde2 directory, and KDE created a new one. Perhaps that might have fixed the problem." - v -- Victor R. Cardona __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Upgrade Strategy...6.4-7.1...
by Robert Sweet 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Any tips on upgrading a 6.4 box to 7.1? My plan is to back up /etc and /home and /root. The box has about 20 users. The box has a CDR-RW on it. I planned on using it to back the users up on it. I am concerned with /etc becuase of the changes in the init dir. I want to make that the users don't get passwd and such mucked up. Anyway any tips would greatly be appreciated, this is my first "commercial" set up and I have been doing it for free to get experience, the box has been up for a year now, routing two networks. tia. -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__| rsweet(a)socal.rr.com "unix soit qui mal y pense."

kdm background
by Anders Johansson 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

I just upgraded to kde 2.1.1, and everything is working fine, except for the kdm background. It defaults to a SuSE standard grey background with the chamaeleon. I can change everything else about the kdm display by editing the /opt/kde2/share/config/kdmrc file, so I know it reads the connect config file. Has anyone else seen this problem, or at least know the name of the image - it doesn't show up in lsof - so I can grep for it? I'm stumped. //Anders

Re: [SLE] RE: DCOP Server Error (resolved?)
by Crazy Diamond 29 Mar '01

Hey Tim, Yeah KDE 2.1 was loading up fine before. I think this DCOPserver error was related to these /tmp directories that were left over from kde2.1. I deleted those and it works fine. KDE2.1.1 made new ones. I was however experiencing that problem with the hanging splash screen in 2.1, it would stop at 50% and then go away as soon as I clicked on something. This stopped when I deleted my ~/.kde2 directory, (in both versions). Also I think that hanging splash screen thing is related in part to having kde restore your desktop next time you log in, you might want to leave that option unchecked after you try removing your .kde2 dir. >�I deleted those directories and kde2 loads up now. >� Was KDE 2.1 loading okay before you upgraded to >2.1.1? If so this might be >the same problem I am having. �If this is the case, >I'll have to try your tip >and see if it fixes my problem. >� Thanks, >� � � �Tim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Cisco Aironet 340 Kernel 2.4 SuSE 7.1
by HuberM＠gendorf.de 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Hi, I´ve got a problem with a Cisco Aironet 340 PCI-Card. After installing the driver from Cisco with the default-SuSE-kernel I can´t configure the card with iwconfig or acu, but I can set an IP-adress with ifconfig. Do I have to compile a new kernel with support for the Aironet-cards? (I´ve already trieb but then I always get problems while booting). Could there be a problem with my second NIC (3Com 3c590 Vortex)? Thanks Manuel Huber

I looked around my system and saw that there were some directories left over in my tmp dir called, mcop- ksocket- kde- after the dash was my user name, there were also a bunch for root I deleted those directories and kde2 loads up now. I don't know why that worked? Now, since my upgrade to KDE2.1.1, I get a modprobe, can't locate module sound-slot-I and several other modules relating to sound. More stuff to figure out I guess.

X - NumLock On/Off Revisited
by Christopher W. Aiken 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

X - NumLock On/Off Revisited There have been so many Linux users that have complained that the "NumLock" is turned off when they start their X server, and others who say it should be left off that I thought a quick "NumLock" refresher is due. This is info that I have collected over the past year from news groups and email lists. There are two basic ways, that I know of, to turn on the "NumLock" when X is started. Both of these methods work on my SuSE 7.1 system. Note that although they work, the "NumLock" light does NOT light up. The keys work, the light does not. I personally don't care if the light does not light up as long as the keys work. Method 1. Check to see if you have a .Xmodmap file in your home directory. If you do then add the following to the end of the file. If you don't have the .Xmodmap file, then create one with the following. Once this is done just restart your X server. keycode 79=7 keycode 80=8 keycode 81=9 keycode 83=4 keycode 84=5 keycode 85=6 keycode 86=plus keycode 87=1 keycode 88=2 keycode 89=3 keycode 90=0 keycode 91=period Method 2. Look for the file ".../xkb/types/basic". This file is usually located in /etc/X11 or in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Use the "locate" command to find it. It's location is dependant on the flavor of Linux that you are running. Once you have found this file, use you favorite editor (as root) and look for the section of code that looks like this: type "KEYPAD" { modifiers = Shift+NumLock; map[None] = Level2; map[Shift] = Level1; map[NumLock] = Level1; map[Shift+NumLock] = Level2; level_name[Level2] = "Base"; level_name[Level1] = "Number"; }; Now change all the "Level1" to "Level2" and "Level2" to "Level1". That is just switch them around. Once this is done, just restart your X server. One of these methods should work for you. Hope this helps. Hope this finally lays to rest the NumLock problems when starting X. -- Christopher W. Aiken Scenery Hill, Pa, USA chris at cwaiken dot com www.cwaiken.com SuSE 7.1 Professional Linux
