While I try to add Blue Marble widget I get this error "OpenGL shaders not supported". It's weird considering everything else on kde works great and my laptop configuration is Dell Core2Duo T 6500 2.1Ghz. Should I install any extra packages to make it work?. Also any tips/suggestions/links about improving the look and appearance of Slackware would be most welcome.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from FC8 (32-bit) to FC11 (64-bit). In doing so, I backed up my entire World of Warcraft folder so I could try to avoid having to download and install it all over again. However, I've now reinstalled wine (64-bit now), and the nvidia drivers from the rpmfusion repos (also 64-bit), and when I try to start WoW, it says it cannot load OpenGL. I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up, and if there's a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling WoW.

This time I want to install Truecrypt 6.3a on my system. According to the description there are two dependencies, one of them being wxGTK.Ok, downloaded wxGTK and tried to build it both with sbopkg and on the CLI just by executing the SBo script. But:

This issue has already been discussed on this thread: [URL]. But it's 1 year old so I wanted to know if any of you had other ideas. It seems to me that [URL] is quite a good choice indeed, but I want to be sure before I engage my company with it. So for you who are using linode, are you all happy with it?
If they allow having a Slackware guest, and is not too "g33k" (like this one which is NOT an option) because I need to make my colleagues confident and they are a bit scared of having a service only for hackers. In fact I need to reassure them even with linode, they're scared to death because I want a Slackware server ...
i am using Slackware 13.1 with my customize version of kernel:

However, sound works just as good as it did before I noticed the problem. The issue is present both with the generic kernel and with any custom compiled one.
Here is some diagnostics with the custom compiled 2.6.37:

As I understand the rc.wireless script the command 'iwconfig wlan0 nickname ....' is always executed. On my computer this causes annoying message "Set nickname: operation not supported". I read the man for iwconfig. It seems for me that there are no particular reason to force the 'set nickname' operation.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running KDE on Fedora 13 and was trying to alter some display settings so that the windows wouldn't maximize when dragged to the edge of the screen. I did that, but at one point "Kwin" crashed, and now there's some odd things happening.
1. I get the "drag me" palm when I'm mousing over the desktop and if I click, I can drag the background around as if it were a window.
2. My "maximize" "minimize" and "close" buttons don't work.
3. It appears nothing in the titlebar of windows works: can't drag them, can't shade or do anything "clickable" -- close, min, max, nothing works.
I tried returning the settings to their original state but it didn't help.I tried restarting the computer too, and that didn't help. I'm guessing something crashed and a setting got hard set that shouldn't be. I'm also guessing that if I rename a .kde/something folder it will reset to defaults. What .kde folder should I play with?
I just wondering if there is such widget that I can put 'suspend to disk' and/or 'suspend to ram' onto my main panel like the logout button.I do not use 'Application Launcher' much but that is the only place I can find 'suspend to disk/ram' options/buttons.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm always struggling with desktop space. Widgets like Folder View and the ability to use the multiple virtual desktops are very helpful for me. I found an article about the KDE Shelf widget which I would love to have as another organizational tool but I can't seem to find it.I am a bit of a newbie with KDE and with Linux in general but I have found and added many widgets with no problem. I have been using computers for about 16 years and I'm pretty tech savvy (but unfortunately my skills have all been learned through Windows and some with Mac in college).
When I go to Add Widgets and type "shelf" in the search withing openSUSE KDE I get no results. I also checked on kde-look.org and an overall Google search but I'm not having any luck.
i download translator opera widget from [URL] but when i click drop down menu to change languages ubuntu freezes really bad.
i can move the mouse, music still playing but can't do anything else have to manually turn off computer.

what can be interfering with ubuntu?
is there an error log file that i can see to perhaps have a better idea what can be wrong?

View 3 Replies View RelatedKubuntu 10.04 x86. I've got a working triple monitor arrangement, separate X displays tied together via xinerama, which is all well and good (within the limits of xinerama, anyway; I long for the day when spanning desktop space, multiple monitors on multiple adapters, and X compositing can all live in harmony...) except for how KDE handles widgets. Love KDE, haven't had a second thought since switching from Gnome earlier this year, except for this one reach-for-the-shotgun issue.I like to have whatever I'm working on presently on my center monitor, my e-mail open on my right monitor, and various apps (torrent client, IM client, and a sort of 'status display' of arranged desktop widgets) on the left. KDE, on the other hand, does not like things this way.
KDE, it appears, has pretensions at being a GUI designer; it won't let me arrange widgets on my desktop the way I want to position them. If I put one in the top left corner, it'll snap into place. OK, fine; if I put another widget right below that first one, it automatically indents both of them, usually one in further than the other. Adding additional widgets to the arrangement usually but not always causes KDE to keep indenting - it's not stair-step bad, but it's obvious things don't line up which makes it visually distracting. It seemingly-randomly decides that I can't put a widget in a particular location on the screen and snaps it back to the size and location it was in when it first appeared on the screen (or before I moved it, if it was already there). It's not an overlap-detection problem; sometimes it's perfectly OK with me overlapping widgets, sometimes it won't even allow widgets to be within some apparently-randomly-chosen number of pixels of one or more of the widgets already on-screen. Sometimes it'll regard an aligned cluster of widgets as a single entity and snap to edges... with no rhyme or reason as to which clusters and which edges. When working with widgets in close proximity to each other, the 'edge-bars' that contain the buttons with which one can drag and manipulate the widgets; again, with little-to-no discernible pattern, sometimes they appear over the widget next to it, sometimes underneath the widget next to it (making the edge-bar completely useless), sometimes clicking the widget brings its edge-bar to the foreground, sometimes the widget needs to be dragged to a different part of the desktop or a different monitor then re-positioned in the cluster for the edge-bar to be in the foreground, sometimes the widget has to be removed and re-added to get the edge-bar into the foreground. When I rebooted just now, my widgets were randomly scattered across the desktop, despite having had "Lock Widgets" turned on throughout (since a few days ago, actually; the last time I had to re-re-re-rearrange things).Basically, from what I can tell from several months of observation, KDE has some sort of automatic widget arranging 'feature' which a) doesn't work properly and b) has no bloody off switch. All this makes what should be the simple, five-minute task of resizing and lining up some widgets by hand into an hour-long test of the elasticity of my vascular system. I'm fine with there being new or experimental or even buggy features in my GUI... so long as I can turn them off when I need to.
I've done the requisite googling and have come up empty. I've looked everywhere in the GUI I can think of, but no luck. I don't yet know enough about KDE to know where to look in the conf files to hack around it by hand. Could someone please tell me how to dike out or simply turn off this blitheringly-stupid widget auto-positioning drunken &*#^$*@#%$^&% wart so that I, the human, can put things where I want them on the screen?It's also baffling that I can only resize a Plasma widget up and away from its edge-bar when most every other window in most every other environment I've ever seen, including KDE, will let you resize by dragging any border in any direction. Big. Step. Backward. If anybody knows a way to fix this I would be most interested in hearing it, but I'll make do if given a way to turn off what I've come to think of as KDE's "layout critic mode".
