Hi all, I am setting up my laptop with OS 11.4 32 bit and KDE 4.6.00.

Just a few setup problems. First of all, I have a high resolution monitor, so all my fonts are small. I am working on that. But the first thing I want to adjust is the profile setting on bash. I go to settings -> configure profiles -> edit profile, "settings -> configure profiles -> edit profile".

Sorry, no such thing. In Konsole there is. My guess is that's what George is talking about.

If one asks a question in a list such as this, nobody should have to guesstimate what they mean: the question should contain the details which they are talking about. Responding simply on "guesstimates" only creates speculative, and almost always useless, verbage which clutters up this (or some other) mail list. If the OP was talking about Konsole then he should have mentioned it. I am not a mind reader, neither am I a psychic, so being specific when asking for help is essential :-) . I, for example, simply ignore posts which contain meaningless subject headings such as, "Help!". BC -- "Facts are stupid things."

Please specify the exact details of where your problem lies.

Believe he means in konsole. What kind of laptop, what video drivers, what versions? I've got a Dell Studio 1745 which makes those changes okay.

Ah yes, sorry. It is konsole. My laptop is a Dell Latitude D820, with a 1920x1200 res monitor, which is why things show up so small by default. In the configuration settings for KDE I set the fonts for all GUI apps to be larger so that I can see them. However on the terminal side of konsole I can't adjust anything. My system info says has this listed for the model: Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300 2D driver: nouveau 3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.10)) then I also got the hardware info from YaST, and this is what it gave me, basically the same: Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "nVidia Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x01d7 "Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300" SubVendor: pci 0x1028 "Dell" SubDevice: pci 0x01cc Revision: 0xa1 Driver: "nouveau" Driver Modules: "drm" Thanks, George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

George,

Are you trying to change the profile as ordinary user or as root?

Are you trying to change one of the default profiles?

Trying to change one of the default profiles as an ordinary user doesn't work because they are owned by root and not writable for ordinary users. These profiles are stored in directory "/usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole".

For an ordinary user, the best option is to create a new profile and change that.

Regards, Erwin

Well, the thing is, on my desktop I have changed the profile multiple times as an ordinary user without any problem. It is only on this installation on this laptop that it doesn't work. In the directory /usr/share/kde4/apps/konsole it has all the different color schemes listed. I don't need to change any of those color schemes. On the konsole menu when you go to the settings menu and go settings -> configure profiles -> edit (select the shell), and then click on the appearance tab, that is where you select one of the color schemes which is listed in the above directory. On my desktop I can freely change these color schemes and adjust the font size there, and it is no problem. On my laptop, no matter which color scheme I select, it does not apply the change, and it is always green on black with 9 pt font.

I always make my Konsole4 appearance change via right click in the window -> configure current profile, not by going into the Konsole's menu.

Whoever dreamed up using a green prompt on a black background for the default should be forced to use only an 11" or smaller screen at 1280x800 or higher resolution, and from at least a meter away from his face.

Great - that worked! I wonder why the other method didn't work? So yes, now I can use konsole. Thanks for your help!! George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
