RE: [SLE] Latest KDE/QT messed up my fonts!

What do you mean by latest version of KDE? If you are referring to KDE 3.0.3 then the fonts on my machine are great. ~~Nick Anyone else having trouble? This is serious. If lost a good number of my fonts, and many apps are virtually useless. I may have to roll back until they get this fixed. I need to know whether it's just me, so I know if I sould report the problem.

Just an idea try to test the configuration via "/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 test" command and check the logs as in this case everything passes thru yet logs will show what would would have been the actual case. -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

by Donald Knecht 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

hey, i just upgraded a toshiba laptop that i have run 6.4, 7.1, & 7.2 on, to 8.1..................(just to see what all the fuss was), wow! what a change.........install was a chore as this machine won't boot from cd, i went through a whole pile of floppys before i found a few good ones to create boot and modules disks.........anyway my problem is during install, via NFS the pcmcia card worked fine - but after rebooting, the cards don't seem to be working or the card services are not starting during boot............the whole sysconfig thing is new to me and so is this "hotplug" stuff, can anyone explain how pcmcia card services are supposed to start now? i don't see anything in yast hardware about pcmcia, i did find and set up the network card, which BTW, i don't think i should have had to do AGAIN..............

Online Update has hosed my system -help?
by JeepNut 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Having vers. 8.0 installed, and noticing that 8.2 is due soon, I thought it might be a good idea to look for updates to 8.0. Noticing 93! security updates I just started YaST and did the online update thing, but got several errors and the system seems pretty messed up now. Obviously I can still get online with Mozilla, but Views of folders are failing with errors, Find Files won't run, and on and on. So I think I'm pretty much screwed here. I've only been using for 6mo so I don't know much yet. Any advice? Should I just reinstall 8.0 entirely? If I wait for 8.2, should I UPDATE or get the full package and reinstall? Thanks for any ideas everyone! JeepNut __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Desktop / Evolution problems
by Bernd Koepsell 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

Oh, please tell me what on earth I did wrong!!! Taking a look at the different apps available on my system. Thought I would try out Ximian Evolution, looked cool. I was able to set up local mail, pop mail, calendar, tasks and an address book all with one app. Quick, easy, simple to set up. It worked nice on my tests. I was left with a few questions, so I clicked on "help" in the menu. OOPS!! I got several error messages related to CORBA, Gnome, and Nautilus (which I am not able to reproduce any more, sorry), one of which I still get: ""ghelp:///opt/gnome/share/gnome/help/evolution/C/index.html" is not a valid location. Please check the spelling and try again. " So I looked for the file at that address. It's there, no problems with the spelling, and I can access the file directly. After selecting "help" I also wound up getting a Nautilus window showing my home directory. These are not my real problems. My desktop was changed to Gnome!! I still have the KDE panel and panel menus (some of these items no longer function). The desktop menu and icons were changed to Gnome. In logging off (or restarting the computer), I am brought to my regular login manager, which lists users, desktops, etc.. Gnome isn't one of the WM options, never has been (I would eventually like to change that). When selcting KDE and logging on, my original desktop is brought up for about 3 seconds, then I get Gnome again. What do I need to do to get KDE back, and not have Evolution change me back to Gnome? Massive amounts of TIA! Bernd

I had this same problem with the fonts. Suse has newer xfree86 RPM's on their ftp site, as well as newer Qt ones. I would check your version against these and possibly try upgrading them. -----Original Message----- From: "Charles Philip Chan"<cpchan(a)sympatico.ca> Sent: 3/29/03 2:02:27 AM To: "suse-linux-e(a)suse.com"<suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Subject: Re: [SLE] Latest KDE/QT messed up my fonts! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On March 29, 2003 01:59 am, Ben Rosenberg wrote: > I think you forgot to remove the font cache files and let SuSEconfig > regenerate them.
