[opensuse] Who is using Gnome?
by Robert Paulsen 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

For me, KDE4 looks to be not worth the learning curve. Since KDE4 forces me to learn *something* new and less usable than KDE3 it seems worth considering Gnome. I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.

I: Re: [opensuse] full screen application
by fiveel＠tiscali.it 06 Feb '09

It's a simple window, programmed with GTK library, with some buttons to send packets of bytes to a custom rs232 device. I have to finish the program by it already works. I am a linux newby and i like to have some hints about to do automatic run at start up. Do i need a script? I'd like to view the main window of the application in full screen or, in other words, not to view the gnome status bar.

[opensuse] Very Annoying Un-commanded Scrolling of Window Contents in KDE3 from Last 2 Updates
by David C. Rankin 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Listmates, I have been experiencing a very annoying new bug in the kde3 desktop and I have finally filed a bug on it. My description of the problem was: <quote> Current install: 3.5.10 "release 33.3" Two releases ago, 33.1 I think, a bug was introduced into the desktop that causes the content of open windows to scroll up 3-4 lines when you move the mouse over the windows or change window focus. This NEVER happened prior to the past two releases. I thought it was just my install until I started seeing other instances of this horribly annoying behavior on the opensuse list. This doesn't happen every time, but it does happen quite frequently. It also isn't limited to strictly kde apps, but is also experienced in firefox, etc. Beyond that, I don't know how to describe it. </quote> The bug is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473175 If you are seeing the same thing, or also seeing it in kde4, I encourage you to add your comments there so hopefully this annoying bug will get fixed.

[opensuse] Sluggish Text Drawing Via ATI Video Card On 11.1 (Unlike 10.0)
by Randall R Schulz 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, One lingering issue with my new 11.1 installation is the sluggishness with which text is drawn in Konsole windows. The same hardware running 10.0 and the SuSE-supplied video driver exhibited virtually instantaneous drawing of text pages in Konsole and very rapid scrolling. I am now running the ATI / AMD proprietary driver, but a big reason I installed it was this very symptom under the openSUSE-supplied driver, which I incorrectly believed would be rectified by the proprietary driver. Can anyone shed any light on this? Ideally, suggest a fix? Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't list home directory
by Jan Karjalainen 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

When I do a "ls -a /home/jan" as a user the console hangs. As a root it works, but I get this error on top: "ls: cannot access /home/jan/.gvfs: Permission denied" "ls -ls /home/jan" as root gets the whole directory listing, which includes this entry: "? d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs" "rm -rf" won't remove it, I get "Permission denied" as a root! Opening Dolphin results in it hanging also, as it tries to list the home directory. What now? /Jan K. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
