Hey all, It seems the lastest KDE updates, 3.5.3, have the screen blanker working again! The SuSE guys have been busy and I, for one, thank them for their efforts. One thing many of you may or may not have noticed though is that the build numbers from your install of SuSE 10.1 are higher than the newer KDE files, so if you are running an automatic updater, many, if not all of the files will not be updated. I've actually gone back to the manual way of doing updates, downloading, shell, rpm -Uhv the files. Worked reliably before, does now too. I'm not sure if they have released updates for the faulty "updater" zen program or not yet, but one thing it can't fix is the build numbers. Unless they institute some other way to see the new files, dates or build dates, the newer KDE files, etc. won't update without some help from the user presently. So I guess the user has to make a decision. Install the new KDE files, turn off the DVD or CD in the installation sources or stay with the original installed files from the DVD or CDs and just update from Packman and the security updates. regards, Lee -- -- KMail v1.9.3 -- KDE v3.5 -- SuSE Linux v10.1 -- Registered Linux User #225206 "Life is like a cigarette, smoke it to the butt!" -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
