Going from 3.04 to 3.11 in SuSE 8.1?
by S.Matthew Prastein 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

I'm running SuSE 8.1 PRO, and looking for some hand-holding in going from KDE 3.04 to 3.11. YOU doesn't provide that option, and I am leary about going the rpm route without some *detailed* instructions. Can someone point me in the right direction? Or, should I just forget about it until I upgrade to a new release, sometime in the (more distant) future? Regards, Matt Prastein

kickerrc changes itself after restart
by Dirk Drexlin 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Suse 8.2, KDE 3.1 I want to edit the buttons in kicker. I want that the user is not allowed to add buttons again. Therefore I edited home/.kde/share/config/kickerrc In the area general I edited the line: Applets=KMenuButton_1, BrowserButton_1 ..... I thought by deleting for instance BrowserButton_1 it will not be shown any more. But after a restart the line appears unchanged again, so I think Suse does something...? When I rightclick on the buttons I can delete them. But I don't want that the user can do this or that he can add buttons again. So I thougt making kickerrc readonly would help. What is my mistake? Do I edit the right file? Does Suse really change kickerrc after a restart? Thanks for your help Dirk

No Desktop after an upgrade from KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.1
by Frank.Bertling＠t-online.de 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hi, hopefully anybody can help me. I just upgrade from KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.1 on a Suse 8.0 and now .... .. nearly everything works exept the fact that I have no desktop, meaning no context menu when right-clicking no icons no background picture and I dont really know what else is missing. But all application like opera, kmail, YAST and so on work fine, when startet from a xterm. When I log in as root or created a new user the problem wasn't there for them, but it still exits for me as a user. So hopefully there is only one little thing missing, but I have no idea what?? Any ideas? Thank you for your efforts Greetings Frank Bertling -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

knewsticker and mozilla tabs
by Andreas Bauer 27 Apr '03

27 Apr '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello together! I started to use Knewsticker and would like to open those links in mozilla. I added Mozilla in the Kcontrolcenter to handle html files. Whem Mozilla is closed this works fine. But as Mozilla is usually open on one of my virtual desktops, he wants to start a new session. Now my question. Is there a way, that I can tell Knewsticker or Mozilla that the link should be started in prefered a new tab, or a new window? (I could also live with a solution that opens the link in Konqueror, but somehow I messed the html-handling for Konqueror up *G*) Thank you for any solution. Take care Andreas - -- - ---KMail v.1.5 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1--- Registered Linux User #237974 On any other day, that might seem strange... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+qve055TdazunANcRAgIEAJ9ItxAbPnL7BNvs757Ae/WGoQnsBQCgzkBz hdXYWuRUhFDP/Cwa39qzJwU= =YpYb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

8.2 quirk - Knode url handling
by Marian Routh 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

OK, since you all are so amazingly quick at answers, here's another question: On my new clean install of 8.2, I've got the file association for html set to Opera, then Mozilla, then Konqueror. However, when I click on a link in Knode, nothing happens. The cursor starts off by being the little hand, then changes to a little pointing hand (like the one in Mozilla), but nothing happens. What have I got set wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks again, Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

KDE oddities w/SuSE 8.2
by Marian Routh 26 Apr '03

26 Apr '03

Hi - Clean install of SuSE 8.2 on a machine that was happily running 8.0 and then 8.1 for the last year. Same ViewSonic A90 monitor, same Geforce Ultra 2 (Gladiac, 64MB). Desktop is set to 1280 x 1024, 16 bit color as before. The monitor was correctly identified this time (I had to enter settings manually in 8.0 and 8.1). When I open apps full screen, they always open with the title bar cut off a bit. If I "pull" the window down by dragging with the mouse, the full title bar shows. I tried making the desktop smaller from YaST and also with the monitor controls, with no change. I know this sounds stupid, but it's irritating to not be able to see the close, minimize, etc. buttons completely. Where and how would I change these settings? Thanks, Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!
