What controls "autostart"?
by Lennart Börjeson 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Whenever I insert a CD or DVD in my reader/burner, two things happen: 1) An application is automatically launched (kaffeine for DVDs, kscd for CDs etc) 2) A popup window asks me what to do. These two things are seemingly totally independent, because no selection I make in the second case changes the first. What settings control the autostart feature? Where are they stored? What GUI:s exist? -- !++ ! Lennart Börjeson ! Partner, Developer ! Cinnober Financial Technology AB ! Industrigatan 2A ! S-112 46 STOCKHOLM !

Worst Feature EVER!
by Randall R Schulz 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hi, Please allow me to vent. What the hell good is overstrike mode in KMail? I claim less than none. (Apparently Piers Anthony disagrees...). I hate it! Can I disable it somehow, somewhere? I couldn't find anything via Web searching. Well, that really wasn't much venting, was it? Randall Schulz

Use of kontruct for offline installation
by Karaoulis Marios 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Hi, I want to install the latest kde on my computer which has not a broadband connection.... I want to use kontruct, and i can download the neccessary parckages on my other computer. If i use cd konstruck/kde make fetch It does download the packages i want (not all , why?). If i copy this file tree on ly other compouter and use make install it will try to download again the packages. Is anyway to force the kontruct to use the packages i allready downloaded? . __________________________________________________ �� Yahoo!; �� (spam); �� Yahoo! Mail �� http://mail.yahoo.gr

How to get Klipper to autoload?
by Shriramana Sharma 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

I had Klipper to autoload first (from the default install) and then I removed it from the system tray telling it not to load every startup because I did not find much use for it. But now I am feeling the need for it and I cannot get it to startup everytime. I can start it using KMenu > System > Desktop Applet > Klipper but there seems to be no option in its configuration settings to make it autoload. Please tell me how I can get it to autoload upon session login. Thank you. (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&m=101798186829611&w=2 has something about /usr/X11/bin/kde but there's nothing regarding Klipper in there.) -- Penguin #395953 resides at http://samvit.org subsisting on SUSE Linux 10.0 with KDE 3.5

Acess to Psion machines in KDE?
by Kenneth Aar 25 Jan '06

25 Jan '06

Has anyone gotten the plptools-kde working in SUSE 10.0? This package provides support for a new protocol prefix "psion:/" for KDE. Any KDE application which uses KDE-conforming URLs, can access files on the Psion. Furthermore, a plug-in for Konqueror's file-properties dialog provides access to the Psion's proprietary file attributes and information about the Psion's drives as well as generic machine information. But I just cant seem to get it working. Regards, Kenneth Aar http://min.virkelighet.net

Well, deleting .kde is not really an option for me, since I have way to many things configured the way I want it, and bringing it all back is just not something I want to deal with (unless it's absolutely necessary). Deleting single config files is a different thing though. The days when I didn't mind fiddling hours with my computer are gone ;-). Cheers, Sabine

playing vcd
by Joshua Raphael Fuentes 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

I'm trying to play a regular vcd on SUSE 10 64bit, but I can't seem to get things going. I recalled having no problems with this on my SUSE Linux Professional 9.3. I tried manually mounting /dev/cdrecorder to /media/cdrecorder, and it managed to see the disk, meaning it was able to read the disk. However when I tried playing the files avseq.dat, it was still not able to play it. So what do I lack here? what do I need to do or to install in order for me to play a normal VCD -- REGISTERED LINUX USER # 393260 there are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't

amarok & other audio stuff
by Bob S 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

Hello SuSE people, Running 10.0 on 64 bit with recently upgraded KDE3.5. Don't know if these problems are related or separate. Stupid question I guess. Does amarok play CDs? I can't seem to load the CD into the playlist. (Can't do it in XMMS neither) Used to work. Yet if I put a music CD into my dvdrecorder KsCD opens it and plays it. (Would like to change that behavior though - Autostart somewhere I guess?) More info; If I put the CD into my cdrecorder Kscd opens, seems to be playing, but I get no sound, And yes I have the little cable from the cdrecorder to the mobo. No cable on the dvdrecorder which plays the music CD OK. AND, Kmidi I can load that and it seems to be playing but I get no sound, yet I can play midi files in Timidity.Would like to get that working so I can hear the midis on web pages and emails. All suggestions, comments, and ideas welcomed. Bob S.

kdesktop strange behavior
by Sabine Konhaeuser 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Hi All, Today I noticed a strange behavior when I tried to change my desktop wallpaper. When I try to browse for a new image file it will not show me any jpg files, unless I remove the .jpg file extension (then they show up). I do not have this problem with other applications. I know for sure that everything worked normal before Christmas. I made sure that the JPEG image settings are correct in the file associations menu, and I also checked that those wallpaper images are readable. Other images types do not have this problem (png, tif, xcf, etc, they all show up). I use SUSE 10 and KDE 3.5.0 Level a (latest files from the ftp supplements folder). Does someone else have those problems? Is this some glitch within the SUSE RPMs? A problem with one or more config files? I couldn't find anything in KDEs bug tracker. Google did not reveal anything useful either. Thanks, -- Sabine Konhaeuser
