Hello List, yesterday I installed version 8.1 of SuSE's distribution, and I'm still aching with it. Here is one of my still unaswered questions:
Is it possible to have the keramik window decoration in SuSE 8.1? I have its keramik style installed and already click on shiny keramik buttons, but have no option to use the appropriate window decoration. I right-click on a decoration, then: Einrichten (must be "Setup"?) and Fensterdekoration ("window decoration"), but there is no keramik entry in the displayed list. I already used KDE 3.0.3 in my SuSE 8.0 installation. Installing the rpm I used there brought up the keramik entry, but not the right decoration; only some sort of ugly "standard deco". Come on, it has to work somehow, they advertise it's got the keramik window decoration included.
And (I know this is the wrong list, but I'll make it short): on using xmms, I discovered that it has OSS sound drivers selected. They work fine with me, but don't they stop working after 30 days until you buy a registered version of this driver? I can select the arts driver and the visualizer field starts jerking around, but unheard; I can hear no sound. So: What's that with the default sound driver OSS and its "durability"? How can I change to arts drivers? =====================
Sven, The Keramik problem has indeed been discussed over on the regular SuSE list, so I think either would have been ok. It seems that the theme included with 8.1 has a bug and won't work. There is a new version, I believe I read from Ben Rossenberg, that you can download and fix the problem very easily. You might want to write him, if you need more details. I am thinking it was on the SuSE ftp site, but not sure. One of the real gurus here will have to help you on the OSS drivers. I know I use those sometimes in xmms in 8.0 without problems, so I would have thought they worked as well in 8.1. Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206
