[opensuse] Trouble with Konsole
by Bob S 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hello SuSE people, Testing 11.1 with KDE 4.1 Konsole, or any terminal refuses to use my hostname. When it opens it says bob@linux-81s3 ~Documents. Where do I change that? It also will not keep any configuration I have set for it. Bob S PS KDE4 still has a loooong way to go. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] OpenSUSE 11.1 cron job access to X display
by Andre Truter 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

I have just upgraded from openSUSE 11.0 to 11.1. I use XFCE as desktop and I have a cron job that change my background every hour by executing xfdesktop -reload. This worked fine until now. On openSUSE 11.1, the script cannot access the display. I get the error: (xfdesktop:14628): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 It works fine if I run it from an x terminal. Any idea hos I can give the cron job access to the display, or any other ideas on how to run a script every hour inside the X session?
