KDE window manager crash
by Rick Green 05 Mar '03

05 Mar '03

I have a SuSE 8.1 system. Twice now this week, I have awakened the system from the screensaver(simple black screen) to find all windows painted on desktop 1, and the window manager 'frame' missing from all windows. In each case, logging out of KDE and re-starting X brought back the window manager. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know a workaround less disruptive than restarting X? The system has been updated recently with fou4s and YOU. Here's a list of related kde packages now installed: bruiser:~ # rpm -qa | grep kde kdeartwork3-sound-3.0.4-8 kdebase3-ksysguardd-3.0.4-4 kdepim3-sync-3.0.4-8 kdeadmin3-3.0.4-7 kdegraphics3-postscript-3.0.4-7 kdeutils3-printing-3.0.4-5 kdeutils3-extra-3.0.4-5 kdegraphics3-fax-3.0.4-7 kde-i18n-2.2.2-404 kdebase3-nsplugin-3.0.4-4 kdegraphics3-3.0.4-7 kdegraphics3-kamera-3.0.4-7 kdegames3-card-3.0.4-3 kdeutils3-laptop-3.0.4-5 kdeaddons3-kicker-3.0.4-4 xmms-kde-3.0-49 kdegraphics3-extra-3.0.4-7 kdenetwork3-dialup-3.0.4-7 kdemultimedia3-video-3.0.4-3 kdegames3-tactic-3.0.4-3 kdeaddons3-sound-3.0.4-4 kdegames3-board-3.0.4-3 kdegraphics3-scan-0.38-63 kdegraphics3-tex-3.0.4-7 kdemultimedia3-midi-3.0.4-3 kdenetwork3-3.0.4-7 kdenetwork3-news-3.0.4-7 kdenetwork3-query-3.0.4-7 kdepim3-time-management-3.0.4-8 kdeaddons3-kate-3.0.4-4 kdenetwork3-chat-3.0.4-7 kdenetwork3-mail-3.0.4-7 kdebase3-kdm-3.0.4-4 kdepim3-3.0.4-8 kdepim3-organizer-3.0.4-8 kde2-compat-2.2.2-348 kdeaddons3-internet-3.0.4-4 kdebase3-3.0.4-32 kdemultimedia3-sound-3.0.4-3 kdeutils3-3.0.4-5 pixieplus-kde-0.3-254 kdebase3-SuSE-8.1-56 kdelibs3-3.0.5-0 kdeartwork3-3.0.4-8 kdebase3-konqueror-3.0.4-4 kdegames3-3.0.4-7 kdegames3-arcade-3.0.4-3 kdetoys3-3.0.4-6 -- Rick Green "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

[SLE] Problems installing new software with Yast
by I am Tiger Woods 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Whenever I try to install something using Yast2, it tries to download the entire CD1. Then I try to Abort, and Yast freezes. This is both from using the Yast Control Center, and also through the pop-up menu (I have Yast as a link on my task bar). So how can I download just one program? FYI I was trying to install KDevelop. ===== This has been a test of the emergency broadcasting channel, if this was an actual emergency, you would be dead. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

TAR - still not solved problem
by Oliver Ob 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Hello folks, this is about TAR and how it copes with the GERMAN letters for ae oe ue. I have a backup-tgz of my windoze 98 partition and now want to copy it back into a fresh installed system. The problem is: tar comes me with "tar: filename: invalid argument cannot open filename" whereever "filename" contains such a char such as \201 and stuff. I have found out that I for example cannot extract my STARTMENUE folder out of this tar, because the "UE" is a GERMAN char abbreviated or lets call it changed by tar to Startmen\201/ so that it cannot open a directory called like that This is truely annoying. Where is a workaround this? Vishal Khanna schrieb: > > it is better not_to_use german file names.. I had this problem > also, but I am told with a german installation or lang pack > it should work plus setting your locales etc. correctly Not to use german letters is no solution as Windoze does and I backup our bureau network using tar. Windoze uses for example the name "Startmenu" - where the letter "u" is a german "ue" and you can do nothing against it! So what precisely do you mean with lang pack?! Under Linux? How do I tell tar to leave the filenames UNtouched as they are?!

SMP kernel in 8.1 problems
by Rob Sell 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Has anyone else had problems with 8.1's smp kernel? I am running a dual 2.8 Xeon Dell server and when running k_smp /proc/cpuinfo only shows 1 cpu and there are many many could not find module errors. If I switch to k_dflt then things work better nic works and stuff and no module errors but still one processor(which is to be expected when running a non smp kernel). Is this a documented problem or is some funny problem with the xeon's since they have hyper threading? Rob
