Problem with Views in Evolution
by David Krider 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

I'm trying to create a custom view for the task list in Evolution 1.4.4 (under SuSE 9.0), and it's fairly weird. When I try to add a column, it doesn't add the column I had highlighted. Sometimes it grabs a one-off column, other times, it's apparently completely random. This is all a FRESH INSTALL, and fully updated. I'm at a loss here. It looks like just a simple bug. Anyone else seen this? Regards, dk

SuSE 9 install gotcha...
by Chris Smith 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Hi, I've had this - don't know if anyone else has. Can't install SuSE from the DVD if the drive is the secondary slave (fails to read package database). Works fine if it's the secondary master. -- Chris Smith http://www.infinitemonkeys.org.uk/

Menial but desirable (Google search)
by Olipro 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

having now fixed my CD burning problem (merely by downloading packages off of the web) the last issue stands with Konqueror; in SuSE 8.2 I was able to type my search directly into the address bar and it would automagically become a google query, as of SUSE 9.0 I now have to use gg: (or google:) I am aware that web shortcuts were also in 8.2 but I did not need to specify anything. does anybody know how to have Konqueror default Google searches? --------------------------------- SUSE - 1,000 Possibilities, not 1,000 Vulnerabilities Olipro - GTA Global <Olipro(a)GTAGlobal.net>

Konqueror home page on Start-Up
by pinto 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Dear SuSErs, my Konqueror browser was set to show my /home directory upon opening Konq. Recently, I updated some "Qt" stuff from www.trolltech.no Since that Qt update, Konqueror starts with a display of Qt info. & Qt Ads. I have looked at Konq settings, and the home page in still my /home directory. After looking in the mozilla directory also in .kde/share/apps and I just cannot locate where is the change I need to make to get rid of the Qt stuff ? Please, could someone be so kind and give me a clue where to look ? Thanks. best wishes, Richard ____________ sent on Linux ____________

Gtk themes not working properly (Suse 9)
by Gustavo Rahal 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Hi When I apply a gtk theme using the gnome control center the theme only last for the present session. If I log out and log in again the basic gtk theme is back. This apply to all gtk programs running inside kde (i call the gnome-control-center inside kde). When using gnome the themes are always working. How to tell kde to load the gtk theme on startup? Just as a note, I removed the QtPixmap package which forced gtk programs to use the kde theme. This is a tip to improve the performance of gtk programs inside kde. Thanks Gustavo

Xchat - XMMS script/plugin?
by Sergio Espinoza Dien 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

Hey there, Can you please recommend a good Xchat script to control XMMS? it would be nice if it includes the standard notice to IRC channel "/me listening to...". I've checked on the Xchat official site, there are a lot of scripts and plugins, but it's hard to know which ones have the best features, maybe they should put some kind of voting system. :P Currently I'm using SuSE 8.2 Pro, Xchat 2.0.5 and XMMS 1.2.7 Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

anyone running SuSE on a Sony VAIO GRT100 ?
by Thinker 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

We are thinking of purchasing two Sony VAIO GRT100 laptops for work. The machines will come with Windows XP and other software but we will be installing SuSE 9.0 in a dual boot configuration, possibly running Windows via Wine on the system. The systems come with 256 MB of RAM. Do we need more for this configuration? Other specs ... 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Processors 32 MB Dedicated Video RAM 40 GB Hard Drives 3 USB ports IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Type III (2 x type I / II) 1 Memory Stick Slot Does anyone see a potential conflict with what we have in mind? Has anyone had any issues with any Sony VIAO machines and SuSE? Thanks, -=Thinker

Moving Icons in KDE
by LinuxWorld999 01 Nov '03

01 Nov '03

After disabling SuSE Watcher un SuSE 9, on each logon to KDE, the desktop icons have changed position since the previous logon. The icons have to be re-aligned each time. An article written a while ago on this list had a solution. The link and a brief extract is pasted here should other users find it useful. Link to solution : http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2003-Apr/0242.html For the impatient: Yes, you should highlight the icons and copy them to your home directory then kill susewatcher from the systray. You can then copy the .desktop (icons) files into ~/Desktop which will preserve your icons. You should then be able to do what you like when you like with them. It seems that susewatcher likes to screw with the icons on the desktop. If you don't copy them to another location then the desktop before killing susewatcher then it will take the icons with it. It's a bug. There is an sdb article on it on the suse.de site. It's rather annoying but fixable. HTH. LW999

I am getting ready to install 8.2 ! Come to think of it, I had to install 8.0 personal, 8.0 professional and 8.1 pro -- all in text mode, so why should 8.2 or 9.0 be any different ???
