[SLE] newb- How do I pick GNOME at login?
by VB 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hi all, I installed with KDE 3.0.x, then installed GNOME through Yast. However, I don't see how I can add it to the login manager. So how do I start X with GNOME? Any help? ===== This has been a test of the emergency broadcasting channel, if this was an actual emergency, you would be dead. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

This is what we run as the BLU server, which unfortunately is not SuSE. My partner had a similar problem which I think he tracked to the onboard network adapter. He may have more insight than I do since he has a second one at home (Compaq donated a few old ones to us). -- 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

Unable to build my k3b data projects with k3b-0.8
by Guillermo Ballester Valor 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hi, Some weeks ago k3b I was running in my system OK. Now it is upgrated (with apt-get) to 0.8, I'm not abble to build my data projects. I can't select a directory and move it to the project with drop & drag. Even there is no way to see the status of the project (all new-project window is grey). Any user out there has the same problem?. Any idea?. Thanks in advance. Guillermo. SuSE 8.1 pro, Athlon XP-1800. -- Guillermo Ballester Valor gbv(a)oxixares.com Ogijares, Granada SPAIN

[SLE] Trying to setup to Burn cd's without scsi emulation
by Franklin Maurer 02 Mar '03

02 Mar '03

Hi all, >From the thread Re: [SLE] Can't compile k3b-0.8 under SuSe using kde3.1, Message-Id: <200302241047.34008.olfab(a)web.de>, I learned that it's possible to do away with the scsi emulation needed to burn cd's. So I removed ide-scsi from /etc/sysconfig/kernel, removed hdc=ide-scsi from grub. I ran mkinitrd, and changed the symbolic links to point to hdc and hdd. When I went into K3B setup, it was unable to see any of my drives for writers. it sees them both as cdrom drives. But when searching /var/log/warn for an answer / cause i found this message ... Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux kernel: paride: version 1.06 installed (parport) Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux kernel: pg: pg version 1.02, major 97 Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module paride_protocol Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux kernel: pg0: Autoprobe failed Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux kernel: pg: No ATAPI device detected Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Feb 26 15:27:01 VMXLinux insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: insmod char-major-97 failed The only time it appeared is after removing ide-scsi, so What is paride? Should I be worried? Do I have to load something into sysconfig/kernel ? Any help would be appreciated. -- Franklin Maurer Usinf SuSE 8.1

Even though there may not be a window showing for it, Opera was probably still running (or had been started by your reboot). The icon-cursor that dies after about 30 minutes when you try to start *anything* up is usually a symtom of the fact that the app is probably still running in a hung state or some other state. us ps aux | grep <app-name> to determine if it's still running and if so, kill it. > -- > > -- > 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 > > > > > -- +++ Bruce Marshall bmarsh(a)bmarsh.com Bellaire, MI +++
