Hi I've started getting exactly the same errors in the last 48 hours - on both my laptop and my home computer! Both running 7.3/2.4.16. I've been fiddling around with some eye candy - splash screens, desktops, etc, but I can't think of any other common factor. Doesn't seem likely that's the culprit, though. David PS I don't know a solution either! On Monday 07 January 2002 2:43 pm, you wrote:

Without playing with Elven or other Dwarves :-) I have posted some days ago the same errors, see below. I hope it is not the name which is causing this - is there any non-Matt who sees the same errors ;-) ?

I had been running out of time to look further for a solution, too many more serious issues like the nvidia crash when logging out from kde or Gnome...

But if there is a guru to point in the right direction, that would be great!

Thnks, Matt

Hi,

Since a few days, when I run SuSEconfig I get the messages below: [...] Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susehilf... Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm... SuSEwm: ERROR: gnome: no "name" defined ! SuSEwm: ERROR: wmaker: no name defined ! SuSEwm: ERROR: wmaker: no name defined ! SuSEwm: ERROR: wmaker: no name defined !

Processing index files of all manpages... Finished.

I would be happy if anyone could tell me what 's wrong?

I'm running SuSE 7.2 prof. Updated to kde2.2.2, first with qt 2.3.2, but after an extremely slow konqueror etc. back to the original qt 2.3.0. and then update to qt 2.3.1 using the rpm from trolltec.

Thanks for any ideas, Matt

Elven fonts had been removed then these problem occured a short time after. Any ideas what could cause this and how to fix perhaps? Hunted high and low...

I started to see the same errors recently as well, but since I just installed 7.3 a few days ago (and been updating as well), I just started having more problems with my whole system locking up tight (only the reset button would get me out- Real Bad). IN the console I checked

I'm not a guru, but I found the problem. through the logs to remember when it started. It came down to 2 possible YOU updates, which only 1 choice logical, Koffice. SInce I just installed it to test (and haven't really yet), I just uninstalled it. Now, SuSEconfig runs with NO problems. I'm hoping it will also solve my lockups.

I am thinking of replacing my large and heavy 17 inch monitor with a more compact TFT LCD one. Does anyone use one of these TFT monitors with SuSE 7.3? Are there any installation problems, and do they work satisfactorily? I use a resolution of 1024 x 768. Any information on which models work with SuSE, will be very gratefully received. I would rather hear of experiences from users than just finding out from a database which ones are supported. Many thanks Keith

I did this with SuSE 7.1 six months ago. Basically, it doesn't care or know that the monitor is LCD. The video card is the biggie. It works best if you can run at the native resolution of the display, 1280x1024 in my case. Anything else is going to be a little blurry.

I worried about it a lot before hand, but the actual installation was straightforward. It took some tweaking to get fonts that looked good at the new resolution.

Which version of Koffice did you update to, when the problem started,? Was it this one, the latest one on the SuSe ftp site: koffice-1.1.1-14.rpm 8,736 KB 2002.01.02 ? I did install the release before, from December, but now I wanted to try this one. And to which version did you go back. Or did you totally uninstall it?

I don't remember now. It was the latest from the ftp site, though, as it was installed via YOU.

...

I believe so, but I'm not sure. It downloads it as KOffice.rpm, no version number.

...

I just installed 7.3 (fresh install) over the weekend. This was the first (and only) KOffice update I installed.

...

I could have reinstalled the one from the DVD, but for now I just totally uninstalled it. It was also a suspect in some recent lockups in my system.

I had updated KDE generally to 2.2.2 from SuSE's KDE service and the error messages appeared when I updated KDE through YOU thereafter (in error). I reinstalled koffice-1.1-136 from the KDE service and all was OK again. David
