View 4 RepliesI have an Artigo A1100 which has the Chrome9 video. When I boot up the system on the Artigo I see the initial boot sequence, the Ubuntu logo and then when it is about to go to the desktop login screen the video goes completely scrambled. I can type in my login and password and I see the screen change as if it has logged in, but it is completely scrambled.
It almost reminds me of the problems old tv's had when the screen would start flipping because it wasn't dialed in just right. If I hit ALT+CTRL+F1 it will go to the command line interface and everything looks fine. it is the newest release of Ubuntu I downloaded yesterday and I know it works because I installed to a USB drive and everything works just fine when I boot off the drive using another computer of mine.
I am Running opensuse 11.4 (64 bit) KDE desktop with all the updates & proprietary ATI driver installed. My processor is Athlon II X2 250 & motherboard is gigabyte MA785GPM-UD2H. I have 4 GB (2 +2) of DDR 2 RAM installed. I have turned off automatic updating & usually update my machine once a week. But just couple of days ago I had just updated my system and KDE desktop effects stopped working!!
I went to the Application launcher -> Configure Desktop -> Desktop Effects and everything was grayed out!! except for the following message Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues:"
But, what technical Issue?? there was nothing else written! Googling for the issue has actually left me more confused; but I am still posting the content of my ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc file

Desktop goes blank after boot, then re-appears when shutdown. How do I fix? I turn on computer, it starts fine with the usual green boot screen, the little bar progresses then the screen goes blank. Then when I go to turn off (push power button), the desktop re-appears. What can i do to fix? I need my desktop back (I haven't made any changes to my system since last boot, and I have turned off, pulled cables out, put them in etc...it must be a software issue) I'm using OpenSuse 11.1 Gnome 32 bit

It used to look something like this with 11.2: [URL]
Firefox still uses KDE file dialogs etc. so at least some of the Kde integration still works. How can make firefox look like it belongs to Kde desktop. I already tried reinstalling firefox and also removing .mozilla folder.
and this morning's updates broke x. I get a blank screen instead of the login. I'm running an Nvidia 7900GS. I tried re-installing the Nvidia drivers... no good. I switched to the nv drivers and got further; I got the login screen, but when I try to log in it gives me the KDE splash screen and then takes me back to the login screen. I'm not sure what to try next.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI ran the latest updates this week (including the new kernel and the new kmod-nvidia update) and I got a blank screen when I rebooted. (I get the Fedora bar across the bottom of the screen, then after that the screen goes blank) I assume this is when the xorg server is trying to start..
I went into single user mode , backed up and then removed the xorg.conf file but still got a blank screen upon reboot.
I rebooted into single user mode, copied the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to a safe location, and then restored the system back to its original state.
I've since rsync'd my system back to where it was before the update.
Here's my Xorg.0.log file:

I can boot into run level 3 but get the same issue when I startx. CTRL-ALT-BackSpace doesn't return me to the command prompt. I get a blank screen with two letters and a blinking cursor.

As my new application software is only supporting 3.6 or greater version of mozilla firefox. i was forced to upgrade or to reinstall my current firefox (version 2.0.0.13). kindly help me and please tell me what is the procedure to install forefox 3.6 or higher version in opensuse 10. i cannot upgrade opensuse 10 to opensuse 11 or 11.3 as my company wont allow me to make modifications in the operating system. i have the latest version of firefox downloaded. the format is tar.gz2 while i am trying to extract it. i find errors in extracting even after extracting successfully i find permission errors.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a problem when trying to run the KDE-LiveCD (and install). It boots just fine but when X starts (or whatever it is) I get a scrambled screen (image below). I've tried to boot with all kinds of different settings. VESA, Safe settings, ACPI OFF. etc. it just doesn't work. (text mode works fine)
I've had this problem on other distros as well. Some distros work (fedora 11 for example), others don't. This problem started maybe 1-2 years ago.
dmesg shows nothing special (what it looks like to me)
my system:

It should be a simple thing to change to print from tray 2 instead of tray 1. Tray 1 is a manual feed tray, how do I change this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 with KDE via DVD. I've checked media for errors. Installation went fine and so far the OS is great and is pleasing me better than Kubuntu.
Except for printing.
I have an Epson Printer plugged in a Wireless router via LPD wich always worked fine. In 11.2 I installed the printer and, on first printing, I noticed I got no tray icon. I had to go to CUPS to manage printing. I got an error in one of the prints. I canceled it in CUPS, but after that I was unable to print again. I always got an LPD backend error. I had to turn it physically off and on to get it to work again.
With Kubuntu I installed the printer via KDE manager and I always managed print jobs without a problem. I never had to touch the printer - except to get the jobs, of course
So,
1) How do I get a systray icon for my printing jobs? Is it possible to manage print jobs without going to CUPS?
2) Why is it choking like that? Is it just with me?
I'm running KDE 3.5.10 on openSUSE 11.2, and when I run KDE4 apps, such as ktorrent or kopete, they don't show up in the tray. But when I run them under KDE4, they do show up in the tray.

I should perhaps add that the home directory is /mirror/cu (so that the users share the same account when mounted). Not sure if thats relevent though...

Just updated to KDE 4.5.1, and im having a hard time getting the tray icons to work.
For instance, i cant get the Pidgin tray icon to show. I cant get Qinternet to show either.
I have a few problems with my openSUSE 11.3 (I were using openSUSE 9 ages ago, then I moved to Debian, jet after few years I though way not to give openSUSE another chance ).
Basically all is great except for 1 little annoying problem - system tray.Applications like Amarok, Network Manager, SUSE updater, etc just does not show up in system tray! Amarok keeps playing music after I minimalize it to tray, but its no where to be found XD.
I'm using the following repositories: download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.3/ packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.3/
Do you know a command for zypper to install newest packages, ignoring branding (from who package is)? That is one of things that truly is a pain, and which I never experienced while using Debian.
It happens regardless of which DVD I put in the tray.
Initially, openSUSE recognizes that the DVD is, in fact, there. I go to any one media player, play the DVD, and exit when I'm done.
And then the DVD is gone. As far as openSUSE is concerned, anyway. I cannot eject the tray to remove the DVD, which prompts a total reboot.
Is there any way to dispose of this problem?
Both MP4 and OGV playback completely weird on my Ubuntu 10.04.2 laptop:
The resolution/length/etc is correct, but the picture is all weird. Webm doesn't work at all.
I tried mplayer, kmplayer, smplayer, gxine, totem and kplayer. All the same.
However, the exact same video's play back normally in HTML5 pages with a bunch of browsers on the same machine. They also play back normally on a Windows machine. There is no DRM involved.
Aren't these gstreamer en mplayer based players supposed to handle this correctly?
This is an Intel Core i3 machine with Intel HD graphics.
I just recently installed 10.04 and the desktop look is nice, but all my applications, folders, games, firefox, etc... is missing. The only way for me to access anything basic is to browse through the fony folder I created just to try and find everything. getting at least my Firefox browser and some other basic applications. Oh and I noticed I don't have root access anymore either. I am the only one using the computer, but can't do a thing. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook. So I have no HDD.
