KDE gone cracy
by jteg＠gmx.de 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hello there, it seems I have a severe problem with my SuSE 9.0 KDE (not upgraded!). For some time now (I do not know if this a coincidence with the online upgrade I did) KDE applications have severe problems: - the konqueror needs about 2-3 minutes to start (I start it via console or icon, the cursor shows the symbol for loading, in the task bar a sign appears, then all this disappears and I have the impression that konqueror will not start....then after a longer time the window pops up out of nowhere) - kmail crashes regularly when I start a new Email and type the first letter for the recipient (the cursor becomes a clock and that's it; although if I type the email text, there is no such problem - kprinter locks up: when I send a job to kprinter, I see the kprinter window and another smaller status window saying initializing printer system, and then nothing happens When I lock out after one of those incidents I can no longer log in to KDE, as it stops while initializing system services. If this is not strange enough, sometimes I could print, sometimes I could write an email and sometimes konqueror starts straight away! I made a new user, but there the printer problem remains (the email problem not, but as this seems to be a problem with auto completion this is easy to understand). I know these problems are queer, but perhaps someone had the same problems or at least has a idea where the error is to be found.

Is there a more or less official SuSE 2.6 Kernel RPM?

I can't get to ftp.suse.com right now, and I don't see it on the mirror I am able to get to. I'm running 9.0 on a P4.

Why is bash eating my history?
by Steven T. Hatton 01 Mar '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If I run ls /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/ then /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/hopalong then close the hopalong window, sometimes I find the last command in my history is still the ls. Other times it is the last command I entered. This has been going on for a month or so, that I'm aware of. It really bugs me. Anybody understand this?

01 Mar '04

Hi All, please, how can I convert a QuickTime movie .mov from my Minolta Dimage Z1 to DivX or other format? I use compiled mplayer for viewing, I havn't found any other player. Xine ignores codec (???) and xmovie from http://heroinewarrior.com/index.php3 shows a blue screen only (no video). Thanks. Marek

sa-learn refuses to learn.
by Bob S. 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

Hello SuSE people. Originally set up spamassassin and had it learn from my mailboxes in Kmail. worked fine. I set up a special spam mailbox with a sub-mailbox named MissedSpam in which I placed spam that was slipping through. Now I want sa-learn to check on that mailbox and learn from it. What I do is, cd into: '/home/bob/Mail' and then do a: "# sa-learn --spam --mbox -f /spam/MissedSpam" Then I get this strange message. "No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/CmdLearn.pm line 120." Can somebody, please, tell me what I am doing wrong here? Bob S.
