I've just logged in to the desktop and I can't see my old desktop background picture and the plasmoids which were on it (clock, folder view). As far as I can tell nothing in my system has changed.
I'm using KDE 4.5.2 version 9 and been using it since it was released in the KDE stable repo. My system is openSUSE 11.3 upgraded from 11.2 32 bit. I don't have any other non standard repositories except for the KDE stable repo.
I just recently configured my cmake and system to finally be able to cmake && make && make install stuff. I did it specifically for the Smooth-Tasks plasmoid. Everything went smoothly on the install, and it appears that everything went the way it should.
Now, my problem is that it does not display in my Widgets window when I click "Add Widgets..." How do I get my self-installed Plasmoid to appear on this list, or at least be useable on my desktop?
I'm on openSuse 11.3 using KDE 4.4 btw.
After upgrading to the above, I find that some plasmoids are missing: RSS Now, Dictionary, Calculator (of the ones I use). The most important one for me is RSS Now, indeed there is no RSS plasmoid at all offered anymore. Downloading new plasmoids doesn't offer anything, and I can't find it on kde-looks either. Has anyone else noticed this, and how I can get RSS Now and the other back?
View 7 Replies View Relatedso in an effort to install skype and enable my webcam, I installed a lot of packages and libraries, but after restarting my computer, cairo dock uses old graphics, and two of my plasmoids won't function. I think what happened is that I installed 32 bit packages when my computer is 64 bit; regardless, I think the best method is to restore my system to a couple of days ago.. but I've searched everywhere and I haven't gotten anything...

I have just followed the instructions here: Upgrade/Supported - openSUSE to upgrade from version 11.1 to 11.2. When it was upgrading the system, by using: It had problems with a couple of rpms (one oppenofice extras and the other i cant remember). I went away for a moment and when i returned the computer was blocked. I whaited to no avail. I pushed the power button and turned of the PC. I started it again, and in the boot menu it still said version 11.1, but the background was not that of 11.1, but that of 11.2. I booted but did not started X windows, worse still my /home/ directory is empty!

View 3 Replies View RelatedGetting tired of gnome, I decided to switch to kde4. I finally understand how it works (the idea of plasmoids), but I'm having some pretty irritating issues with them.
Whenever I try to move my plasmoids to another part of the screen, or even try to resize them, they immediately snap back to their original position / size.
My first thought was a permission error on my ~/.kde directory, but a quick chown/chmod indicated this is not the case.
I already have RedHat Fedora 13 and I want to install Ubuntu but I need my Fedora , too. so I don't want it to be erased. What should I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just tried installing Fedora 12 and at the beggining of the install i got this message about my disk which cannot be read until it is initialized, and if i initialize it all data on the disk will be lost. Disk was formated using GUID, and had one HFS+ partition on it. I accidentaly clicked "yes" on that error message, and after realising what I just did (some 2sec later) i pulled out my computer's power cord out.
Now my entire disk is erased, it has no partitions on it, and all data is lost...
How do i retrieve my data from the erased disk, and why did Fedora want to do this to my disk?
I tried wine and didn't like it, so i removed it but i noticed the WINE still there on Applications bar, so what can i do to remove it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and I've never had this happen. I was at 10.04 and I downloaded the torrent iso of 11.04 and burned it to a CD and used that to upgrade. I don't know if that was the problem, but doing the upgrade that way erased my fstab. When I tried to recreate it, I was getting errors mapping to the fileshares. Turned out the upgrade uninstalled cifs/smbfs as well. In addition to uninstalling wine. After reinstalling, everything is ok.... so far. This was NOT the smoothest upgrade.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn what started as a quest to get free wifi, I have recently gotten in way over my head. After unsuccesfully trying to use a virtual drive, I decided to erase my HDD on my laptop completely, wiping out my Windows XP and installed Backtrack 4 in it's place.
My goal amongst others, was to create a 20% partition for Backtrack and run XP on the rest of it. Well, I couldn't figure out how to do it. My only option was format and install backtrack.
So now I'm typing on my iPhone cuz I know absolutely nothing about Linux or how it works. My computer has no Internet. It doesn't recognize my Ethernet NIC, my wireless card and probably alot of other stuff.
SO ANYWAYS I don't want to give up. I'm ready to learn. I guess the first order of business is to get my Ethernet Card working so I don't have to type on this damn phone. So how do I do it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am operating Debian 5.0 kernel 2.26. In trying to clean up (I believe I was using a root terminal), I erased the directory /home/root. Since I have done that, I can not get to a root terminal, can not use synapse and a host of other administrative processed.
Now, when I boot the system, I can log in as a user (my version of Debian does not allow me to login as the administrator). Then, logged in as the user, I previously could select for example 'synapse', I would be given a screen to enter the Administrator password and then get synapse. Now, I am given the screen to enter the Administrator password, but once I enter it, I do not get synapse. I do get an error message
'can not find /home/root/.synapse' And of course, I erased the /home/root directory. Now I might just mkdir /home/root - except to do that I need a root terminal and I can not get that either - probably for the same reason.
I have tried using the boot disk and going to the rescue mode - except for some reason I can not mount a root directory. I believe it is because I am using LVM2 and my root directory must be in an LVM volume, but I can not figure out how to get to that using the rescue mode.
I was resizing partitions wit GParted and by mistake I went to Dispositive -> Create Partitions table, and click Apply by mistake. Now all my partitions vanished. I already try testdisk, and gpart and didn't work. All my files and photos with more than 15 years vanished.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI deleted my hd from an ubuntu 10.10 liveCD system by trying to create a new partition table with gparted. I just wanted to restore the partition table and clicked on "create partition table"apply.Now the hole hd is an unallocated file system, so without any partitions. There had been 3 ext4 partitions.
Because I did it from an liveCD, all data should be save? Is there a way to search for partitions on the hard disk and get a new old partition table and write it to the mbr?I searched a lot already (with a very slow mobile internet connection)..
I have a HP DV9000 laptop. The second hard drive bay doesn't support SATA II devices. I was cloning the original hard drive to the newer SATA II hard drive I purchased two swap them because bay 1 does support SATA II devices. I decided to use
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
to get the job done. I double/triple checked my command with fdisk -l, but my dyslexia got the better of me. I should have ran
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda
....
I stopped the command about 1/2 hour in, it is a 160GB hdd. I tried using foremost to recover all of the files that hadn't been written over yet, but it can't recover Quicken filetypes. The ONLY thing I need off of this drive is the Quicken database. TL;DR I need to recover a quicken database file off my corrupted partition. What program can I use?

I saved a page from Linuxquestions. It was saved under a filename beginning with '[' (left square bracket). And I now can't delete the file. Unfortunately I cannot send you a screenshot because opening a terminal in the GUI makes ls behave differently. I shall try to describe, assuming the file is in dir '.'. Also let '[SOLVED]foo.html' be the file in question:
Code:
$ ls
<the file is listed>
$ ls [*
/bin/ls: cannot access [*: No such file or directory
$
If I want the hdd to get rid of this file, what should I do? Any hint will be welcome.
