KMAIL - ooohhh this is really starting to...
by David Herman 16 Mar '03

16 Mar '03

I love kmail but I'm really starting to get frustrated. Every once in awhile Kmail will magically mark all the mail in certain folders as NEW. That wouldn't be a big problem except I spend a fair amount of time Marking messages that I find particularly fascinating as "Important". When kmail marks all the messages as new then it is easy to change the status of all messages to "Read" but I lose the visual cue I so lovingly created. Another curious effect: occasionally long deleted messages are returned to their orriginal folder (I empty the trash frequently and actually quit the program in hopes of preventing this). Kmail is not marking the mail in all folders as new, it seems to me that it is only doing this to folders that recieve unread mail (ie my filters send the incoming mail to the desired folder before I read it) Is there any way to restore the folders previous states rather than the unsatisfactory and ham fisted "folder-->mark all messages as read" menu? nb. I'm not interested in switching to evolution or mutt right now. Thanks for your ideas -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Konstruct
by David Herman 15 Mar '03

15 Mar '03

I've compiled a few programs and patched and installed my own kernel so I'm kind of interested in a new adventure... I'm just downloading Konstruct and I'd love to hear others experiences and tips about using it to build kde3.1 on SuSE8.1. And now back to your regularly scheduled mailing list... -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!

Sprache, Icons Einstellung
by Ronnie Gaensli 11 Mar '03

11 Mar '03

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe seit eineiger Zeit eine SuSE 8.1 Prof. Installation laufen, ohne 20 weitere Probleme. Vor einigen Tagen ist mir etwas unerklärliches widerfahren. Nach dem ich einige Programme die auf meiner HD rumliegen ausprobierte, war die Sprache des KDE von Deutsch auf Englisch (bzw. Default) umgestellt, weiter waren die Icons geändert (Von Crystal auf Standard KDE [oder so]). Nun kann ich die Sprache und Icons zwar im KDE Control Center ändern, aber zu keiner änderung. Das letzte Programm das ich vermutlich ausprobiert hatte war Kwatch (Log File überwachung). Bei anderen Benutzern hat sich nichts geändert, und dort kann ich wie zu erwarten die Sprache ändern wenn ich will. Wer weiss Rat? Danke im voraus! R. Gaensli

KDE 3.1: kpackage
by Tobias Crefeld 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

After an update of a SuSE-8.0-installation from KDE 3.05a to 3.1 (rpm from supplementary) kpackage of KDE-3.1 doesn't find the files in the rpm-directories in "options" any more. I think this problem already existed with an early KDE3-Version but after some updates it disappeared. Now kpackage shows only the actually installed packages from the rpm-database. i glad that an old kpackage of KDE2 still works fine.

Settings for real-player messed up
by Klaus Vink Slott 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hello One of my users cant start realplayer anymore. If a link is pressed in konq. or he just try to run it from promt - the CPU load goes to 100% until the process is killed. No realplay window. Other users on the same machine have no problems. I guess some settings for realplay is messed up - how do I restore these without loosing the entire desktop -- Regards Klaus Vink Slott

Knotes & Kalarm Lost The Plot
by Dave Barton 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Can someone explain how Knotes & Kalarm can suddenly lose all my previous notes & alarms? My ~/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes directory still contain the knote_data files, but they are zero byte files and my ~/.kde/share/apps/kalarm has the ".ics" files but they contain no valid data. This appears to have happened after ooo.org's calc program caused my system to freeze (which it does with monotonous regularity) requiring a hardware reboot. Anyone else having a problem like this with Knotes or Kalarm? Dave SuSE 8.0 KDE 3.0.5 -- Registered Linux User #288562 http://counter.li.org

Konqueror & RPM downloads
by Graham Murray 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Sometimes (often) when clicking on a web page to download an RPM, konqueror downloads the file to a temporary directory, showing progress in a separate window, and displays a page offering to show details of the RPM and to install using YaST. Other times the window just goes black, the file is fetched but there is no indication of where it (or if) it has been saved and no option to install or examine it. How do I configure konqueror to always offer to install the RPM rather than 'silently' transferring apparently to /dev/null?

.xsession-errors eats entire free space
by Vadym Krevs 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hi there I am using Suse Linux 8.1 Professional on IA32 with KDE 3.1 rpms from Suse's ftp site. Since I had installed KDE 3.1 rpms, Konqueror and Kopete fill ~/.xsession-errors file with repeated warnings such as shown below until the file eats up all free space on my partition. I have tried using rpm -ivh *.rpm --replacefiles --replacepkgs, but that didn't help. konqueror: WARNING: KDE detected X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) \x08 Major opcode: * bitBlt: Incompatible destination pixmap kopete: WARNING: 14:30:14 [WRN] List event 0001 not found kopete: WARNING: 14:30:14 [WRN] Various event ID 0004 not found (A) Any ideas? Regards, Vadym

KMail rpm
by kbb0927＠cs.com 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

Hello, Can someone tell me which rpm contains KMail for KDE3.1. I upgraded initially from the KDE site and all went well. I then used the newly released KDE3.1 from SuSE's ftp site and now KMail won't work. It segfaults. I want to go back to KDE site and use that rpm only to fix KMail since it worked from that site, unless someone can give other suggestions. Thanks in advance, Keith B.

Keyboard group toggle in KDE 3.1
by Konstantinos Georgokitsos 26 Feb '03

26 Feb '03

I have problems with my keyboard group toggle. With KDE3.04 I had used /etc/X11/XF86Config to set the toggle keys to alt-shift (to toggle between keyboard language settings, greek - US in my case). Now, I saw the Keyboard Settings dialogue in the Control Center, and set there the "Group Shift/Lock behaviour" to "Alt+Shift changes group". As soon as I applied it, the nice mini-US flag in Kicker showed up, but the toggle keys didn't work anymore... I can change the keyboard, clicking the flag, so that at least works. I commented out the setting in XF86Config for possible interference problems, but that didn't help. Any ideas? Kostas
