For you and all those who use KDE, the Beta4 is already downloable in ftp.kde.org and mirrors. I say it because the one that comes with SuSe is Beta3... (I don't remember). Beta4 hangs less than before. In fact, I haven't had a 'hang up' since I installed it. Bye. Xanti J.D.K. Chipps wrote:

You just have to install it from yast and sure it should be in /opt.

I am trying to install KDE. I can find nothing in the 5.2 manual about the actuall installation itself.

It says that KDE is installed to /opt/kde by default, but I have nothing in /opt about kde.

In /etc/profile I have this entry:

KDEDIR=/opt/kde export KDEDIR

Any help will be appreciated. thank you.

Thanks for the response, it's working now.

You can also download KDE beta 4 from the Suse ftp site:

ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/KDE/Beta4-with-qt-1.33/

This version is customized to work with your SuSE install, and required little or no customization to work. If I remember right, all you have to do is switch xdm to kdm in rc.config.

Will this also cleanly upgrade the Qt libs at the same time? (If not, then you're likely to end up with a pretty screwed system ... ). And, by the way, is the above OK with S.u.S.E. 5.1? (I've been using KDE-beta3 for some time and really like it, except for its habit of losing mouse-click or keyboard input from time to time -- some sort of focus problem. Xanti's post suggests that these problems are now gone or much reduced).

I have downloaded SuSE's version of KDE beta 4 I like it up to a point. I haven't been able to make something to bring me back to a different wm from it yet, I dislike that I can't switch wm from it, don't like getting stuck. I notice KDE cdplayer Kscd has a anoying problem now. The CDDB data base of CDs, well it looks for the CD I have in, finds it, then displays the artist/title and song, but then disapeers after a few seconds, never to return. :( Anoying, KDE beta 3 didn't have this problem. Also notice a few games still are buggy, and may even hang the system. -- Steven Udell Wayfarers hettar@teleport.com for truth love sudell@teleport.com and courage <A HREF="http://www.teleport.com/~hettar"><A HREF="http://www.teleport.com/~hettar</A">http://www.teleport.com/~hettar</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi SuSE,

I am wonder why I get this error (always) when starting fvwm2

X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id in failed request: 0x3400002 Serial number of failed request: 164 Current serial number in output stream: 164 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 4 (X_DestroyWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0x300000f Serial number of failed request: 286 Current serial number in output stream: 289

Now I have had these error all along, even in SuSE 5.0 5.1 and now 5.2, I think it's time to clean them up This is displayed in the Xmessages window of fvwm2 So how can I fix them?

I have this problem but only when I restart FVWM2, not when I startx.

I had the same problem. You just have to delete a file whose name I don't remember. But I do remember what I did. Look (grep) for that string ("YAST will start..."). The file that you find is a script that looks for a file, and if this file exists, it starts YAST. Well, you just jave to delete that file. I would look for the script, but I haven't SuSe here (at work). Good luck. Steven Udell wrote:

I know this has been talked about before, BUT untill it happened to me, I almost ignored the problem. Well I can't I have 30min to be able to finish a install at school (in between classes)

Ok I have put SuSE 5.1 on a DX33 16meg of ram and 512K vram for video. Got everything working (a bit slow) but..

Yast keeps on wanting to start, every time I get to boot it up (durring the 30minutes of time I have) Well.. today I got the chance to boot it up and let it sit there while I went to classes so YAST could finish up doing its thing.. 4 hours later I get back to it, (I left it as it started updateing the man pages after perl and wm setups..) well anyways I get back to the computer 4 hours later and it back to the screen where it wants to mount the cd-rom (AGAIN) and the 'finishing up by running some scripts' so I run out to the car 2 miles away <g> and put the SuSE disk 1 in and it reads it..and FSCK right back to "running some scripts, starting with PERL..ect.."

Well what the HECK!! How many times do I got wait 4 hours (heck Im sure I could leave it on all day) and ever 1 hour have to put in the CD-ROM SuSE disk and have PERL and all the other things update OVER and OVER again.

Well, HOW Can I KILL YAST!! and when I boot again, I don't want the scripts to run again, ever again with this "starting(finishing up)Yast will start some scripts on console F9" I never wana see this again.. Please tell me how to get rid of it ..

I did, well sort of. I did accidentally shut down kfm and there didn't seemed to have a way to get it back. Every time I tried to call kfm I got the error DISPLAY 0,0. I erased the /home/kde/share/apps/kfm directory ant restarted X and it worked. The other little problem was related to cursor follow up. Every time I got to the edge of the screen it would change to another virtual screen; very annoying. Finally on KDE list I found the option to shut that down and now it works fine.
