[opensuse] kde4 debuginfo packages for 11.2 GM?
by Greg Freemyer 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

All, What are the correct debuginfo packages for kde4 in OS 11.2 GM? I have: # rpm -q kdebase4-runtime kdepimlibs4-debuginfo kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo kdelibs4-debuginfo libqt4-debuginfo kdebase4-runtime-4.3.1-5.6.3.x86_64 kdepimlibs4-debuginfo-4.3.1-4.5.1.x86_64 kdebase4-workspace-debuginfo-4.3.1-7.5.x86_64 kdelibs4-debuginfo-4.3.1-6.7.2.x86_64 libqt4-debuginfo-4.5.3-2.4.2.x86_64 which I thought was right, but I just had a konq crash and I could not get a traceback at all, so I assume I have the wrong debuginfo's installed. Maybe the base package names were changed with 11.2? Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to activate window manager?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello: I have installed openSUSE 11.2 as a text only server. Then I decided to add xorg and window manager (KDE3.5). I have installed the packages using yast2 in text mode. Now I have the packages but I don't know how I can activate the window manager/xorg and the login manager kdm3. Any hint?

[opensuse] 11.2 with KDE3
by Istvan Gabor 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello: Is it possible to install openSUSE 11.2 with KDE3 instead of KDE4? I mean I do not want to install any KDE4 packages, only KDE3. Is KDE3 in the official distro at all? I looked through package list at http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/ but can see very few kdebase3 packages.

With Gmail, there is never a need to use spamassassin, as Gmail's spam detection is better than SA by far. -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.2 Where is kcron?
by Bob Williams 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Both Yast and zypper tell me that kcron is installed, but 'which' can't find it, and it won't run :( The first time I try to run it from the KDE menu, it asks for root's password, then displays a dialog saying Command 'kcron -icon kcron -caption KCron' not found Is it installed or not, and if so, where might I find it?

OpenSUSE 11.2/Kmail is excruciatingly slow. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if there is a reason/solution? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Beginner (again): How do I change the keyboard layout?
by Thomas Blasejewicz 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

(I realize, that the stupidity of my question and my unability to sprinkle it with linux-style 3-letter acronyms must be annoying to this community so that no answer has been given. Sorry for that. Instead maybe you could point me to another source, where I can find an answer without causing people any trouble.) I am a beginner with Linux. So, in case somebody answers, keep the amount of "linux specific jargon" low, because I will probably not understand it. 1. Installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on HP nx9005 notebook. (hardware is working fine) So far so good. 2. Used YaST to install a secondary language (Japanese) in addition to the system language = English. 3. SCIM setting: tried to uncheck all languages I do not need and check ONLY Japanese, English and German * SCIM keyboard list does NOT contain a German keyboard layout. Cannot find a place where to add one. 4. Personal settings: added a second KB layout (German) to the primary (Japanese) 5. Task bar shows now TWO flags: Japan / Germany; can be switched by clicking. 6. Personal settings: German is marked as secondary language. 7. Key shortcut to switch between keyboard layouts (?): Alt+left Shift * Does NOT work. I am cycled through a horrendous number of "input methods" listed under SCIM, most of which I have never even heard of or could imagine what they are used for. 8. In OpenOffice Writer I can currently use (clicking on the keyboard icon in the task tray) an English keyboard layout (write English) and after activating Anthy (requires a number of clicks) can also write in Japanese. Fine. But I could not yet figure out how to make the German keyboard layout - which is supposed to be available there - work. Going through 4-5 user guides (documentation) has not helped me so far. All I want to do: a) have THREE (not the present intimidating long list) KB layouts: Japanese, English and German b) be able to switch between these using a SIMPLE shortcut (like Alt+Shift) (I do that every day on Windows machines) * This cannot be so difficult, can it? WHAT did I miss? Where did I miss it? I appreciate your help (... and have still more questions ...)
