OpenSUSE :: Get Back To KDE After Switching To Openbox?
Feb 18, 2010I like to explore, but it seems this time I have gone too far. I tried using vi to edit /etc/sysconfig.d/windowmanager but no changes seems to do anything.

Fedora :: Starting Without GDM - Switching To Openbox/fluxbox And 3rd Party Panels/widgets
Jun 4, 2011I installed Fedora 15 on my netbook the other day and I decided that I will remove everything but the absolutely needed to make things lighter, faster and less time/power consuming. I thought that GDM isn't needed on a single-user machine. Maybe I can remove it and have a script run on boot and take care of (auto-)loging in and starting the DE? (Xfce, but I plan switching to openbox/fluxbox and 3rd party panels/widgets etc). Is it possible? (and does it worth it?)

Debian Configuration :: Static IP Switching Back To DHCP
Jul 15, 2010I'm new to the forum and actually to Debian as well. Have been running Ubuntu for the past few years. Just setup a small Dell laptop to use as a Squeezebox and Print server. It's been up 6 days without a hitch as far as serving music to the squeezebox and printing. The problem is that it loses it's static IP, so as long as I look it up and change the radio Squeezebox and printer definitions around on the clients everything keeps working.
Does anyone have any ideas?If the connection drops for some reason and the system has to re-initialize the connection, shouldn't it use the /etc/network/interfaces file and get back to the static IP that it is configured for?If anyone has any ideas of why this could be happening or have a solution, I would really appreciate the help.
Ubuntu :: Artifacts Left On Desktop After Switching To Awm Then Back To Gnome
Aug 13, 2010I recently tried out the awm version of the desktop environment. When I switched back to the Gnome desktop, I found a couple of titlebar-like artifacts left on the desktop.I did some experimenting, using System Monitor and the Kill xxxx command and managed to rid myself of one of the artifacts. The remaining artifact can be taken care of by using kill xxxx comand for the gtk-window-decorator but, this basically renders window buttons useless after the command is issued.
I think I had a couple applications running at startup in Gnome desktop before I switched to awm, and they didn't start at startup when I returned to Gnome desktop, but the titlebar-like artifacts did.Is there a way to reset the state of the gtk-window-decorator in a manner that is less destructive, and which allows my desktop to be clear of this artifact?
General :: Losing Wireless Connection After Switching Back To Vista OS

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Display Shows "dirtiness" When Switching To A Text TTY And Back.
Jan 28, 2010I want to report a bug I recently found to devs.
I found that when switching to any TTY and then back to the graphic mode a rectangle of about 5cm long x 1 and 1/2cm tall appears in the right-down corner of the screen, filled with trashed vram data.
I did a screen capture but the thing didn't appear - opposed as ghost would! xDD But the fact is I can see it, no matter I go full screen and then back to normal, no matter I switch again to any TTY and then back to TTY7, it sit's there until I reboot: closing the session and starting a new one don't work either, the box is still there.
I'm running Koala 9.10 amd64 on a QuadCore 8400 and ATI 5750HD video card with drivers provided by Ubuntu itself, not the ones that came with the graphic card CD neither the ones available to download from ATI's website.
I'm running Emerald and Compiz, too.

Jul 10, 2010I installed KDE 4.3.5 on my existing Gnome desktop and i have two users using the computer. Now from Gnome I am accustomed to switch between session very easy and the sessions continue to run. If I use the Switch option from KDE it just looks my screen and does not switch. Is it possible that I miss some programs? I installed it with Yast and used the group option. I am pretty sure that I missed something during the installation.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Switching To Console Distorts Video
Mar 11, 2010I boot into gnome just fine, but as soon as I switch to console 1 or 2 or N (insert number here) it distorts my video across all of them. It seems like it's changing the refresh rate either horizontal or vertical and I just don't know how to solve the problem. If it distorts I can't get it back to decent readable graphics without a reboot. Was doing the same thing in ubuntu, and that's part of the reason I installed suse. I am running 1600X1200 with 50 refresh rate in gnome and have swapped the console resolution around, trying different options but still have the same problem.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Using Ctrl + Alt + Fx (switching To Text Mode)?
Aug 7, 2010I have been using SuSE Linux in text mode for the longest time (since 8.0) and I'm often more comfortable working in that mode. I have just installed 11.3 with GNOME as a fresh install on my dual-boot laptop and I am pretty happy with the way things work. But I still languish for my text mode from time to time.
So: I know about right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Open in Terminal" and that should really solve my needs, but I read here in an older thread about using Ctrl + Alt + F2 (as it happens, it can be F1, F2, F3, etc.) so I decided to try it out. Well, when I do that, I get exactly what I expected --- a black text screen with a login: prompt and I can do all my little texty things just as sweet as can be. Except for one thing: I can't get back! The only way I've been able to get back to a GUI is to use "shutdown -r now" as user: root. Also, Ctrl + Alt + F1 removes the GUI completely for all four terminals. Can someone tell me more about this function where I might read an "info" or "man" about it? I don't even know what it is called, so it is hard to know how to search. (Admittedly, I haven't tried Google yet.) uname -a ==> Linux linux-127g.site 2.6.34-12-default #1 SMP 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Switching From Fglrx To Radeon
Mar 12, 2011I've been using fglrx since 11.3 came out, and I just upgraded to 11.4 today and noticed that my graphics card is now supported by the open-source radeon driver. I was trying to switch, but was never able to properly switch the driver and get radeon running. I've read many of the help pages, but still am unable to actually get radeon working.
Perhaps I'm missing something, such as not properly removing fglrx, but I'm not too sure.
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Switching From Window To Another Not Fast
Mar 31, 2011I've installed OpenSUSE 11.4 / KDE on a self assembled PC based on the ASRock P4i945GC motherboard that hosts the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 which is inside the 945G Express Chipset. The graphics performance seems not so good, in fact:
- at KDE start, a message appears saying that desktop effects are slow and are being switched off;
- switching from a window to another is not fast;
- nexuiz (3D game) at 800x600 resolution with all effects turned off is orribly slow;
- glxgears runs at 50 FPS;
I made a comparison with OpenSUSE 11.2 Live KDE where:
- desktop effects are active and smooth;
- tab switching is faster;
- glxgears runs at 200 FPS;
I'm not so skilled in linux to understand which video driver is used in the two cases. find the best video driver and eventually install it in place of the current one in 11.4. Here follows an excerpt from lspci on 11.4:

OpenSUSE Install :: Switching From Ubuntu To Suse?
Dec 22, 2009I was a user of Suse10.0 to 10.3 when my laptop HD got to full and I was forced to remove it and give the whole thing to windows (to cheep to buy a larger HD). I have recently built myself a new computer and decided to give Kubuntu a try. After using it a few times and having multiple problems I am giving up and going back to Suse (I liked the looks and layout much better).
Right now I have a dual boot system with Windows7 and Kubuntu9.10. I would like to not have to reinstall windows and just take over the space that ubuntu was occupying.
Will I run into any problems with grub? Will it install just like a fresh volume and reinstall grub? Do I need to reformat the space ubuntu is using?
OpenSUSE Install :: Switching Hwclock From Localtime To UTC?
Apr 29, 2010I have the following problem: I installed 11.2 on a laptop with the hardware clock said to run on local time (CE(S)T), expecting to do a dual-boot Windows setup later. That plan got scrapped, and the to-DST switchover lately failed, so I'd like to switch the hwclock to UTC.
By now, I have (coming to work at 08:53 CEST = 06:53 UTC today):
# grep '^[^#]' /etc/sysconfig/clock
HWCLOCK="-u"
SYSTOHC="yes"
[code]....
YaST2 shows checkmark for "Hardware Clock set to UTC"
- but nonetheless, when I logged in, the OS time shown was *06*:something "local" (digital panel clock) / "CEST" ('date' command), and 'last' says:
reboot system boot 2.6.31.12-0.2-de Thu Apr 29 06:54 (02:49)
(For the moment, I run ntpd to fix the issue, but I'm lucky to currently *have* network every day.) What am I missing to have the OS clock be initialized *correctly* on bootup?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Switching Bluetooth On / Off With Gnome Applet
Aug 11, 2010On my ASUS Eee 1000H with openSUSE 11.3 I'd like to be able to switch bluetooth on and off with the gnome bluetooth applet. However, when I run /usr/bin/bluetooth-applet as a normal user, the applet tells me:
Code:
** (bluetooth-applet:8598): WARNING **: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installation
Okay, so it doesn't have write permissions on /dev/rfkill. When (as root) I change the permissions on /dev/rfkill from crw-r--r-- to crw-rw-rw-, the applet works as expected. Until the next reboot, when the permissions for rfkill are reset to crw-r--r--. How to make the permissions stick? Or if there is a better way to allow the applet to enable and disable the bluetooth adapter?
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Changing Switching Audio Devices On The Fly
Feb 8, 2011How can I change my audio output (and input) from one device to another?
(Using a Sound Blaster and USB Headphones)
Changing settings in Phonon is a hassle, and it still won't change the sound immediately for the apps... Is there a quick way to just disable one device and enable the other, without having to restart the apps that use them? (For instance, right now Skype and my browser are outputting to headphones and amarok to my speakers - one enabled device that receives everything, bang! output for everything to another device and the first device is having a nap)
I can't see any settings in KMix to facilitate such a change...
what I can do to change sound cards quickly and easily?
I recall doing this in seconds in Ubuntu via their mixer, so would it be similar if I ditched KDE in favor of Gnome??
