FSB view
by Joseph Polanik 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

I have SuSE 9.2 and have two annoyances with Konqueror. 1. Each time I open Konqueror, I must reset the view mode to a non-default value that I prefer. Is there a way to set Konqueror to remember my preference in view mode? 2. directories are sorted to the bottom after all files. Is there some way to make directories appear at the top with files underneath? Thanks for helping with what is probably a simply problem. Joe

Disabling auto-startup of K3B
by Paul W. Abrahams 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Whenever I load a blank DVD into my drive, K3B starts up whether I want it to or not. How can I stop that behavior but still have the drive automounted? I've looked at the archives and done a google search, from which I've concluded that KDED is the villain -- but I can't find out anything more about how to control its behavior. It looks as though suseplugger is also involved but isn't the main culprit. A related question: where can I find out what suseplugger is doing and how to change it if necessary? SuSE help is of no help on that. Paul

Can you use apt repositories in Red Carpet?
by Clayton 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

I've heard rumors about Red Carpet being able to use/access the apt repositories, but have yet to find any real useable information on this. I found one reference to it here on the list from December: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Dec/2040.html but... it's missing just enough information for me not to be able to do much with it. So... the question is, can RC be used to install/manage software from apt? and if so, how? C.

4.5m boot on 9.2 poss. hwscand at fault
by Stephen Boddy 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

Hi list, I think that is the most succinct title I could come up with. I installed 9.2 on a laptop that previously had gentoo and 9.1 on it in recent weeks. With 9.2 the boot up takes an extraordinary long time - 4.5 minutes at last run. In the boot process this happens where the reiser filesystem checks/log replays occur. Around there you can physically see the slow down, as the scrolling of the screen becomes "jerky". I used the nifty bootchart to build a picture of what was going on, and the culprit appears to be hwscand. Strangely even disabling the hwscan init script, still allows this to run. Damned if I can see what is starting this process. However from the chart I can see that this bar is huge, constantly uses big gobs of CPU. The disks hardly look to get hit. For what it's worth this is a Compaq Presario 700 series (712AU I think). I've checked through the dmesg output and the /var/log/messages file, and nothing looks suspicious as far as I can see. Can anyone tell me how hwscand is started, and possibly even why it's pegging out the CPU for over 3 minutes? TIA -- Steve Boddy

Re: [SLE] VNC
by a.bridge＠insightbb.com 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

The only thing I have done in Yast is enabled VNC which I thougt was remote administration. Then I opened VNC on the firewall. If it's not, remote administration, I have been on the wrong track. Ultimatly I want to be able to administer a server remotly in the office by seeing its desktop using either a web browser or another client. If your familiar with Radmin for Window, a feature like that. Radmin uses viewer instead of a web browser. Either way, I don't care. > On Friday 04 March 2005 16:06, a.bridge(a)insightbb.com wrote: > > I enable remote VNC in Yast and changed the firewall to allow VNC.

Auto Starting Applications

Where does one configure applications that should start automatically when a user logs into KDE? Something like the Startup folder in that other less desirable OS. Thanks. ---- Bill Lugg Milstar Software Support Peterson AFB, CO

one click Gmail

I've setup 1 click Gmail checking with KCheckGmail but I can't find a version of konq that works properly with it. Google tells me it's not supposed to work. Any ideas apart from using other browsers? 9.2 Cheers, Steve.
