[opensuse] Hostnames
by Bob Williams 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

In the Yast Host Configuration module, I have the following entries 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2 barrowhillfarm barrowhillfarm ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback ... This would explain why my use of the 'localhost' alias failed to point to 127.0.0.1 :( When I try to edit the 127.0.0.1 entry I get a warning that it's a system host, and do I really want to change it? Is it OK to add the hostname 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1, and what is ::1? Thanks, Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.1, Kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default, KDE 4.2.4 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9200GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which gtk-qt application to use for changing GTK themes under KDE4?
by Anshul Jain 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Hi all, I have 3 different gtk-qt applications to change the GTK theme of FF 3.5 under KDE 4.3, kde4-gtk-qt, kcm_gtk, kcm_gtk-qt. Which is the right one? I'm having a tough time changing the GTK theme from Gilouche to Nodoka or Clearlooks. Would appreciate some help! :) -Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

You will need to use "kdesu /usr/bin/systemsettings" to gain access to the settings. Give it a try. THANKS, David! I'm using KDE 4.3 beta on 11.1, so the procedure is a tad easier. All you have to do is in the "Personal Settings," is go to "Advanced," then Policykit Authorization, freedestop, hal, storage, mount, then add any users to the "removable" media listing. Pure stupidity that I didn't find that before, but we seem to be always finding something that we didn't know about before, eh? :) Best, Fred -- "Where's The Birth Certificate?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] konqueror ftp bug?
by lynn 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

Hi I have the latest factory update and konqueror version 4.2.86 release 125 using KDE 4.2.98 (info from konq help menu) When downloading by ftp from a remote site to my own hard disk konq creates the folders but when file transfer starts it crashes or gives me another login prompt. The konq from KDE 3 (/opt/kde3/bin) works fine however big the file transfer is. I've searched bugzilla but can't find anything similar. Can anyone confirm this and whether it is OK to report bugs in factory via bugzilla? Also, where would I look for error messages from konq? Thanks.

I suspect that kmail uses the default pdf setting and since kmail is basically a front end to konqueror or whatever browser you have set as the default in your application defaults, there is a good chance that you are actually calling the adobe plugin from kmail.
