Under SuSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4, right clicking on a file in konquerer results in moving up (back) one level in the file manager. This same right click in any text editor or office component works as expected, likewise on the desktop, namely, opening a menu of options. Mouse is a Logitech Mx700 optical although I don't think it matters as the problem is only in the file manager. The problem was not present in SuSE 9.2 and is not present in Mepis 3.3 both of which were/are running KDE 3.3 so I'm thinking this may be something to do with KDE 3.4. I've spent some time in the control center looking for the location of the button assignments but so far have come up sans solution. Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so what did you do? dave -- David C.

In Konq, settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Web Behavior -> Mouse Behavior section, uncheck the 'right click goes back in history' option. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-20a-default x86_64
I'm running SuSE 9.3 on my 2.4Ghz P4, 1024Mb RAM, 200GB HD, pc. Last night I was updating some packages via synaptic and the suse apt repositories on ftp.gwdg.de including a lot of updated kde stuff. Synaptic wouldn't run the update because several of the packages weren't signed. As an alternative, I used red carpet to install all of the packages from the cache file where synaptic had downloaded them to. Everything installed fine and I rebooted with no problems. Upon reboot, I downloaded Mplayer and the mplayer plug-in from Packman's site and installed them with red carpet as well. However, when I tried to reboot the splash screen (9.3 default) shows me the command lines and says that it can't find hdb1 or any other partition on my hard drive. I get the grub menu just fine, but when I try to load 9.3 it craps out and tells me it can't find any partitions. I tried doing a repair with the 9.3 dvd, but it also says it can't find any partitions on the hard drive. I would love to be more specific, but I'm not quite competent enough to do so. I would appreciate whatever help is given. Thanks in advance Jack

You could try an install up to where you could view the partitions. As alternatives I use http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/rescuecd/timos_rescue_cd_set-0.9.12r2.... or knoppix so I can boot up and do fdisk, reiserfsck, reiserdebug, mount partitions, chroot to a mounted partition and run mkinitrd, alter files that may be stopping a full boot of any distro. They have got me out of some tricky situations in the past, expecially timo's rescuecd which boots up faster than knoppix and can run in RAM. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I can not help with the problem you have, but I have a suggestion about your install problem with unsigned packages. In synaptic you may go in the InternalOptions menu, and there add the option"GPG::Check" and value "false" (all without "s). This will let synaptic to install unsigned packages for the current synaptic session. Cheers, and hope you recover successfully. Sunny
