*Still* no Konsole (font issue?)
by Tom Wesley 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Been working on this all weekend but have still not found an answer. I cannot get konsole to work at all. Whenever I start it I get the window come up and then it just sits there. The cursor stays in the very top right corner and doesn't move. Also, if I try to add a terminal pane to konq I get a message saying that "Font '13' not found". This lead my to think that this was a font problem. I have reinstalled the distributions X (X 4.1 - SuSE7.3), turned AA on and off and set a wide variety of fonts for both the system defaults and konsole. So now I'm thinking that it might not be a font issue? But I have no idea where to turn. I have noticed that there are a few references to this type of thing with previous versions of KDE, but nothing with KDE3 so far. Oh and I'm using KDE3 from Adrian's rpm's. I can't really build from source due to time constraints. One other thing, konsole from KDE2 still works in KDE3, maybe pointing to a configuration issue? Or maybe a qt issue? Any ideas appreciated!

Problems with 7.3
by Eddie Bradford 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Hi, I just upgraded from 7.2 to 7.3 and I am having a strange problem. When I logoff, my computer no longer powers down, as it did with 7.2. I have to do a hard reset (hold the power on button down until the machine powers off). Then, about seven to ten minutes later, the computer starts up again. I've followed all of the recommendations in the SuSE FAQ under "shutdown", but nothing works. Any ideas? Eddie

Problems Installing KDE3rc3
by Hugo Gonzalez Blanco 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Hi , I wanted to test the new KDE3rc3 , so I downloaded the rpms , and installed them with Yast . But when I restarted the PC , I found that I keep on running Kde 2.2.2 . After that , I uninstalled every rpm relationed with any version of KDE and reinstalled the rpms of KDE3rc3 , and after restart the machine , I was running something unknown for me (I am quite new on Linux) , but I am sure it wasn't KDE. Any suggestion. Thanks .

Netscape setup 6.2.2
by gjmwalsh＠netscape.net 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Ugh! I downloaded Netscape 6.2.2, intending to use it instead of Mozilla at least until 8.0 gets here sometime in May. Two little bothers: >From whence cometh the cute QFA talk dialogoe at the invoking of netscape, which is a bit of a nuisance, and how does one get a non-rpm installed service (such as Netscape) on to the desktop (although coming from Unix I have no problem invoking it from a shell). And is is 'normal' to not have pdf files show as plugins after the 'helper' (in this case /usr/local/bin/acroread) has been downloaded and is able to display pdf files? The linkage between mozilla and Netscape6 is, shall we say, inextricable. What happens if Mozilla is removed from the system entirely? Anything fatal-like? Thanks for any pointers.

7.3 as an isp. Possible?
by steve 31 Mar '02

31 Mar '02

Hi everyone. My server here uses red hat. The service is too slow, is down for too long stretches of time and costs too much. Is it possible to use 7.3 to be our own server? Does anyone do it? All we want to do is serve web pages for our college, but they say we need a fixed ip and that costs. Must be a way around it no? Any advice really appreciated. I think that this is our only option. Our intranet works fine. is there more to it than that or is there a way of sticking our pages in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs like we do at the moment and pointing to internet rather than our local lan? When do you stop being a newbie? Cheers, Steve.

Hi, Just download latest mysql source (e.g. 3.23.49), put them into /usr/src/pacgakes/sources, edit SuSE-MySQL-RPM SPEC file, copy patch(es) from SuSE original MySQL source RPM, build your own RPM, and finally upgrade. I did it myself, worked OK. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************

Thank you, Wolfi & Ben. I certainly know that this mailing list is only in English. (But it is a pity ...) I made a mistake - by changing recepient's address ... But I am very pleased by your answers ... If you need to practice your Czech I can repeat it once more. :-) Happy Easter to everyone Zdenek.Hornych(a)brandysnl.cz (My problem´s already solved.)

This reminds me on what I told to my boss at work: He should rather send me to a Czech lesson than on yet another English lesson, since my English is already -at least kinda- understandable:-) Well, back on topic, there are most presumably not many people out there who understand Czech, but if you came back to the list with an English description of your problem, sure someone will know about it.
