Hi, Could be something with your KDE installation or QT version. Try to reinstall KDE, and check that you have a stable QT version.

Abit VH6-II problems
by John Koenig 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Just curious if someone knows if SuSE requires any special BIOS setting on a ABIT VH6-II ... I have been experiencing what I would call unstable behavior from the MB with both Red Hat 7.3 and SuSe 8.0... After I finally figured out that to make it boot once, I need to disable on-board sound and on-board USB. The processor is a not-over-clocked Pentium III 1000 MHz. I have tried different sticks of RAM but the freezing behavior does not go away. So I am thinking I am missing something in the BIOS... thanks! J PS: the behavior I get is after a complete boot off an installation CD media, the OS freezes during benign activity like clicking the "next" panel or selecting packages, or just moving the mouse etc. --

Just tried KYIM http://www.nikosoft.net/kyim/kyim-1.0-1nks.i386.rpm It pops up a list of 9 dependencies. Seems I really need to know how to get Apt-Get running here so I can get around the severe limitations of Yast and kpackage. Thanks! doc

With a typo fixed ==== Traditionally people use sed, not vi from scripts. And I'm not sed user. :< Fortunately, I don't think you need it anyway. Without testing it at all, I think you need something along the lines of: === #!/bin/sh while read LINE ; do UID=`echo $LINE | cut -d: -f 1` NAME=`echo $LINE | cut -d: -f 2` if [ $UID != UID ]; then useradd $UID $NAME # I don't know the right arguments offhand. fi done < passwordfile === If you save the to a file xyz, thing test it by running "sh -x xyz", you will get debug output.

re: [SLE] Cygwin...where do I start???

>> Does anyone have information on a good idiot's guide to Cygwin page? I >> downloaded it, installed it and all I get is a terminal for which I >> can't log in. >> Thanks, >> Tom Tom, What do you mean, you can't login. Normally Cygwin gives you a bash shell on your local PC and no login is required. If you need to get a shell on your suse box, use ssh from the cygwin window. Cygwin traditionally is a shell with a collection of *NUX cmd level programs. (i.e. tar, awk, sed, etc.) No GUI stuff at all. They have recently added a X-windows server, that allows an X-client app to display output on it. Some people are using this X-windows server to connect to a SuSE box and get a full kde environment going. i.e. kde is running on the SuSE box, but the user interface is provided by the cygwin box. Note: In X terminology, the application is the client, and the user interface is the server. Many people are confused by that. If this is what you want, it has been discussed a few times in the archives over the last few months. Do a search for xdm, or kdm.
