KDE is not like GNOME: doesn't mount with right click
by Adagilson B B da Silva 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

I begin to use KDE now, I was using GNOME (very happy with UnScalable Gorilla :) In Gnome I can mount and unmout just with a right click in the desktop area. Can anybody tell me how is it possible in KDE? What is the easiest way to mount /windows/G in KDE, for example? thanks a. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524

KDE desktop menus question
by Jerry Feldman 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Last year I messed up my KDE menus a bit. I would like to be able to reset the menus and kicker back to the default, but not my desktop. Is there a way to do this or do I need to just blow away the .kde directories but keep the ~/Desktop directory. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Redhat to SuSE -> passwords
by irvine＠vuosaari.hai.fi 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hello I have a redhat 7.0 server and am planning to replace it with SuSE 8.1 pro'. One question that I want to ask is about the users on the redhat system and there passwords. The system uses shadowed passwords and I would like to have the same users with the same passwords on the new SuSE system. Is this a simple task? I figure that all I would need to do (after creating the users) would be to copy the old /etc/shadow file (or at least part of it) to the new system. Am I wrong? Would it be better to create a temporary password for each user and ask them to change there passwords? tia t.irvine

no more graphical interface at start up
by Adagilson B B da Silva 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

CONFIGURATION I have SuSE 8.0 (Gnome 1.4 and KDE 3.0) and I also have installed Ximian in my machine, a K6-II 500mhz 256ram PROBLEM It all was running fine, except by the desktop: sometimes KDE shows the desktop puzzled (some shadows of open programs used to remain on my screen) and the same had happen with Netscape and Mozilla on Gnome. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" As SuSE installed everything automatically, including my onboard graphic card, and I had a display driver for its onboard card (SiS 530) I make something questionable. I run a rpm command to install xsis.rpm. So, next time I rebooted the GUI didn't begin automatically, but just a prompt. Well yesterday I learned a lot about setting up SAX and XF86CONFIG :) KDE can run after being invoked at the prompt, but I should type manually "kde". GNOME not. THE QUESTION What should I do to restore my Ximian dialog box asking for user login at start up? Why does Gnome fail? thanks for any help a. PS-at least, "puzzled shadows at desktop is gonde". The KDE is very fine by now. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524

The 8029 is a 10MB adapter, so maybe there's a problem with what your hub supports. Pls give some more details on that. It has to be a *switching* hub in order to work at dual speeds simultaneously. That means, that if it is a *repeating* hub one 10 MB client might force the whole hub to work at 10 MB. The 3Com Officonnect DualSpeed Hub for instance has an internal switch between the 10 and 100 MB segments, so it will support both clients simultaneously. /Henrik
