System hangs hard at various places during boot. When I replace the vga=791 with vga=normal for the "linux" boot option all is fine but I loose the initial blue SuSE splash screen with the boot info and it boots with a dos like screen.

Latest KDE upgrade and Kmail

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Earlier today I used apt-get to update my system. It dled over 100 files and everything went smothly. When I started Kmail about an hour ago I couldn't read the mail. That is the window with the actual mail doesn't show anything, it's just blank, even the headers. I've tried to change just about everything: fonts, colors.... No luck. still just a blank page. Even when I sett the font to be the same all over. The only way to read a mail is to try to answerr, then I can see the entire text. I tried logging in as another user, then I couldn't get Kmail to show any text in any window. Can someone please help? I'd hate to change mail client. Olle - -- War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.

kio_fish under 3.1.1 in SuSE 8.0
by Ben Rosenberg 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

FYI to all 8.0 users. The upgrade that was recently posted when installed says that the kio_fish pkg is obsoleted by a pkg in the upgrade..I don't remember which one complained about this but it does. Well, don't believe it. When you try to use Konq to connect via ssh to a remove server it pukes on loading the kio_fish.so plugin. And this is because it doesn't exist anywhere on the system. I downloaded the kio_fish rpm in the supplemental KDE directory and unpacked the RPM then moved the files over manually. What a pain in the ass. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

Error using GTK themes on SuSE 8.1
by Tim Moule 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Hi again, I'm trying to get GTK themes working under KDE (or GNOME, for that matter), but haven't been able to do so far with luck. Running gnomecc in the terminal brings up the control centre, but whenever I switch themes, the colors change in the preview pane (and in the application) but the images don't. In other words, I can't get rid of those ugly scroll-bars and drop menus! I use Evolution as my mail client and would like to equip it with a theme similar to the default KDE highcolour theme. When I change a theme through gnomecc I notice the below error printed in the terminal: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libpixmap.so", Sometimes the error is the same but with "libthinice.so" or "libredmond95.so", depending, I suppose, on what library the theme I'm trying to use is based on. Because of this, I guess this is a GTK engine or library issue to do with libpixmap.so, etc. (duh!) but having searched through this list's (and other list's) archives and on www.google.com/Linux, I've yet to find a solution. As far as I can see, SuSE 8.1 has GTK 1 and 2 fully installed, and I've ensured that all the engines and theme packs are installed (no themes (other than those I've manually intalled) show up in the gnomecc-->themes menu, however.) A search for libpixmap.so shows the file lurking at /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.0.0/engines/libpixmap.so. A few resources have suggested problems with the theme's gtkrc file, and I've also tried # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH= commands and updating the /etc/ld.so.conf file with paths to libpixmap.so and running ldconfig, all with no luck. Is this a problem with the SuSE 8.1 distro (I'm running a new, 3 week old install) and I can't see the forest for the trees? If anyone has had this problem or can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. Tim

Kscd
by Richard Ibbotson 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Hi This is probably an old chestnut by now but thought that I would ask anyway. I've just upgraded my own personal workstation to SuSE 8.1. Used Yast2 to update the system. Got the latest patches. Everything would seem to be working fine except Kscd which is refusing to play CDs. No music being played at all. Tried other CD software and that won't work either. Both my CD recorder and CD-ROM are working fine. I can use both of them to install software or make CDs. So, what's the problem here ? Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Permissions for /dev/cdrom are.... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2003-03-28 10:57 /dev/cdrom -> hdb Thanks -- Richard www.sheflug.co.uk

KWord / KOffice Printer
by Michael Satterwhite 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

I was trying to use KWord, but it doesn't seem to see any of my printers. I even tried adding a printer from within it. It was able to print a test page, but the printer never showed up, so I can't print from it. Can anyone offer any help? -- Penguins eat butterflies, don't they?

[SLE] Re: Kscd
by Nicholas Parsons 29 Mar '03

I see... Were you able to mount the cdrom device ok with the music CD? I just popped in a music cd into my dvdrom and couldn't mount it like this: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom when logged in as root. On my red hat 7.3 machine, the kernel associates /dev/cdrom to my dvdrom device. Like you said before, I am also able to install programs/etc using normal cd-rom's in that dvdrom drive on my machine. Its funny though how kscd starts up automatically when the music cd is popped into my dvdrom drive. It also has the right time of all the music on that cd in the display window. I just can't hear anything like you said. Like I mentioned above, it doesn't seem like the device is mounted with the music cd in there since I can hit the eject button on my dvd-rom and it pops open. I can't do this if a cd has previously been mounted in that drive. Sorry that I can't help you :-( ~~Nick Sound works fine. Can listen to the radio through an old tuner. Checked the sound settings and everything looks good. If I put a music CD in the drive Kscd refuses to recognise it and when I press play Kscd does nothing. Tried other CDs with the same result. -- Richard -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Hmm... What do you mean when you say "kscd refuses to play cd's"? Does kscd give you a error message or do you just not hear anything coming out of your speakers when you play a cd? ~~Nick Hi This is probably an old chestnut by now but thought that I would ask anyway.
