[opensuse] kmix doesn't start automatically any more
by ti＠amb.org 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Kmix used to always start automatically (in the task tray) each time I log in to KDE. Now it doesn't do that any more. I have to manually start it. How do I get it to auto-start again? The Kmix main window -> Settings -> Configure KMix has all check boxes enabled "Dock into panel", "Enable system tray volume control", "Restore volumes on login", etc. I clicked "Apply" or "OK" but it still doesn't make it auto-start. -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDM: Cannot log in as regular user
by ti＠amb.org 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi all, something strange has happened. My SUSE 10.0 machine was working well for many moons, but today I had to reboot to try some BIOS setting changes. After restoring the BIOS setting to what it was and booting up the system I was no longer able to log in via the KDM login screen. After typing in the user name and password, the screen blanks for a moment and the login screen reappears. I can log in as root into KDE, though. Also, I tried various GUI environments other than KDE (fvwm, twm , etc.) and the same problem happens. The only environment that I could successfully log in as a normal user is "failsafe". After logging in under failsafe, if I type the "startkde" command then KDE starts fine. If I close the failsafe terminal window then my whole session gets logged out. I don't see anything obviously wrong in the log files. I also tried removing everything in /tmp and /var/tmp to clean up the KDE temporary stuff, but it didn't help. Any suggestions how to fix this? I googled and it seems this problem has affected others too, but none of the suggested fixes works for me. -Ti -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] restart usb??

Hi all, In earlier days I have been using rchotplug restart to get a non-reacting USB-drive to react again. Since 10.2 it is no longer possible to use this: bash: rchotplug: command not found Is there a command in 10.2 that gives me similar function?

Hello, I want to upgrade my Suse 10.0 server with the apache packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/SUSE_Linux_10.0/i586/ but I do not find the related mod_php packages. If I use http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SUSE_Linux_10.0/i586/ I get error: Failed dependencies: apache_mmn_20020903 is needed by apache2-mod_php5-5.2.3-38.1 from rpm.
