Hi! Today i did update for kde libs from "supplementary" and i lost icons from all non-KDE applications. Are there something faster than manually put them back? Thanks, Mitja

by Fernando Lujan 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

HI, I try to rip a CD and Kaudiocreator simply freezes.. Is there some patch so solve it? I had this same problem with slackware and kde 3.4.0, in 3.4.1 it was solved. :-D And about gtk-qt-engine... I saw that this is installed, but where is the configuration panel? I didn´t find it... :( Thanks in advance. Fernando Lujan

9.3, Gnome
by devosc 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

What causing a freshly installed 9.3 with Gnome looking like an interface for three year olds ? Fonts, Icons, Themes... I thought doing an fresh install from 9.1 to 9.3 would be a piece of cake... now I gotta figure out why it now looks like a kindergarten box... Firefox, would I be better of manually installing it.. I seem to recall some difference in Gtk versions or something in regards to fonts... My graphics card is set to radeon9000 but upon installation SuSE wanted to use ATI-RV205if Actually this time round I think I managed to get a little more control in configuring/installing a Princeton LSC1700... Do I have to increase the screen size resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x800 ... tried that but then its too small and not the resolution I would like to work with... Am I overlooking or not doing something correctly ? The biggest pain is the *gigantic* size icons and fonts in the menu system in the desktop bar etc.. -- devosc

UPS-aware?
by elefino 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I just acquired a UPS (APC model BX1000). Previously, I had an older, smaller UPS (just died) and had no automatic monitoring and shutdown. If I heard the frantic beeps, I'd go perform an orderly shutdown, by hand. The new unit has Windows/Mac-only software, of course, but I'd still like to try the automated aspects, in case power dies while I'm away. Looking through the Administration Guide for 9.3, I don't see any mention of UPS. The stuff that does talk about power seems to be related to laptop power management. My PC is a tower. Do I need anything installed or activated in the system -- I'd ask if it had to be something in the kernel or a module, but I don't know if I'd even be using the words correctly... :-) Or is it just a matter of installing "nut" monitoring software, connecting the UPS monitor lead to my USB port and ... magic happens?

RE: [opensuse] Official openSUSE webforum?
by Schwartz, Matthew (GE Healthcare) 20 Aug '05

I total agree with this idea, create mailing list for specific topics such as: Security Kernel enhancements Yast And a web forum for the whole distribution. This method is very similar how others Linux distro are done i.e. Fedora. Matthew _____ From: Peter Flodin [mailto:pflodin@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 6:27 PM To: opensuse(a)opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] Official openSUSE webforum? This is my first email to the mailing list so it might be considered rude to propose a webforum. But nevertheless I think openSUSE,org should have its own webforum for these reasons: 1. New users are less likely to join and post in a mailing list. 2. Web forums are much more effeicient at providing messages to the user that they are interested in. 3. The various existing webforums at other sites, are not central enough to the project to build a community. 4. There are various things in the wiki, (like wishlists) that would be better handled in a webforum, with discussions around each wish item. At the moment there is no clue to if there is 1 or 1000 people who want a particular feature. (Unless each one is searched for in the mailing list archive perhaps). Don't get me wrong, mailing lists on specific topics are very useful, (development related lists especially). I just don't think it is the best vehicle for discussing issues of a whole linux distribution. What I am describing is a webforum at opensuse.org, so it can only be created by Novell at this point.

Yahoo messenger for rh9 killed my KDE (SuSE 9.3)
by Alfredo Cole 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi: Yesterday I downloaded and installed ymessenger rpm for RH9. This morning, KDE won't start. I get the following message: I810(0): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x8000000) What I can do is start X in Failsafe mode from the graphical login menu, and then from a xterm run "startkde". I have already uninstalled ymessenger, and deleted the .ymessenger directory, ran sax2, etc. but I can't get it to work. Any suggestions? Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole Grupo ACyC

There is a flash adjustment whether or not to loop or not. Run and right click and see if the Flash menu appears. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Leighton <helphand(a)pacbell.net> Subj: Re: [SLE] flashplayer plugin problem?

Update from Beta 1 to Beta 2 via FTP
by Jens Nixdorf 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi all, fyi, today i've made an distribution upgrade via Yast2, with an FTP-Mirror as installation-source. All went fine as i see so far. No error-messages, a complete smooth run-through. Even the old errors are there like not path-settings as root in a kde-konsole. ;) regards, Jens

Viewsonic VX800-3

It would be nice to have a predefined profile for this monitor. It was quite a pain to setup X so that fonts would not get cut off and what not. Thanks.
