kde-3.5.6 crashing

~/.xsession-errors seems to be overwritten because KDE/X restarts automatically. I think it was due to the gnash firefox plugin. I haven't had any crashes since I deleted that (yet). :-)

kde-3.5.6 crashing

It just crashed. :-( It seems to crash less, it is unpredictable. I did get a dialog when KDE restarted "...KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify... Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output...". I wonder if ALSA is causing my crashes.

RE: kde-3.5.6 crashing

I recompiled firefox and the gnash plugin and it hasn't crashed yet, knock on wood. :-)

kde-3.5.6 crashing

I installed kde-3.5.6 over-3.5.5 and it crashes alot. :-( Everything shuts down and I get the KDE login screen. It happens when I am using firefox and it crashes. It crashes alot but it never used to bring down KDE before. There are no messages, the screen goes black and then the KDE login screen appears. I'm going to reinstall the nvidia display driver. I use Gentoo with a self-compiled firefox on an AMD64.

Failed to launch auto-mount usb thumb drive directory

I'm sure there settings. I need settings for the HAL daemon because I can't umount as a user. Like you, it is a minor annoyance. :-)

Power Saving Drawing "X"?

I added Option "DPMS" "TRUE" to the Device section since I'm using the nvidia driver and Option "DPMS" to the Monitor section and it seems to work. I have no idea why different distros have different power settings in KDE.

RE: Power Saving Drawing "X"?

I got this same problem but it hasn't happened in a while. My monitor doesn't go into power saving mode though. :-( I don't know what causes it because DPMS is all there. I am going to try this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Automatical…ff_your_monitor

Failed to launch auto-mount usb thumb drive directory

Quoted Originally posted by fweng Quoted Originally posted by bjlockie What version of KDE do you have? 3.5.5, as my first post mentioned. I built the whole 3.5.5 myself (checked out from svn/stable) I have no idea then. :-( I assume you have a newish compiler version. Mine doesn't mount as /mnt/removable, everything goes in /mnt I used the Gentoo package though.

kword and ODT

Has anyone experienced problems importing OASIS OpenDocument Text with kword-2.6.1? I created some files under MSWindows using OpenOffice.org and I am having display problems in kword. It doesn't display correctly if I scroll. A new simple document seems to work. Maybe it is the tables.

Failed to launch auto-mount usb thumb drive directory

Quoted Originally posted by fweng Quoted Originally posted by bjlockie When the drive is NOT mounted, is there a /mnt/removable file? No. /mnt/removeable directory was created automatically when USB drive plugged in. This part was OK. I could access /mnt/removeable from console successfully. What are the permissions of the directory /mnt/removeable?

HALD configuration

I have a Seagate ST380817 (80 GB SATA) in an external Mediasonic HD2-SU2 (USB hard drive enclosure). It works in Linux but I can't unmount it as a user. I think KDE/HAL mounts it as root. I've done a lot of googleing and a hack solution is to add an /etc/fstab entry. I'd rather fix the HAL configuration to let users unmount it. My USB memory key mounts and unmounts fine as a user.
