I'm still suffering with this problem and would really appreciate some guidance here. There is a 1 in 3 chance that KDE will run and, quite frankly, it is unnerving to never be sure that I will have a GUI! Charlie.
I'm new to Linux and installed SUSE 8.2 a few weeks ago and use KDE as my desktop. The machine is a modified HP Pavilion AMD K2 350MHZ with 158MB ram, PCI sound & video, serial modem, USB printer. Dual boot with Win98. All has been fine until a few days ago when it happened that after a successful (?) boot KDE would not start - no wristwatch. I guess that the video server is not starting. this means I am stuck and have to pull the plug. Yesterday, I tried to boot three times without success so I...
Quoted Original von Nicolas Goutte If you try to use MIDI with ALSA on KDE 3.1.x, there seems to have been a problem with it. It seems to have been corrected (however after KDE 3.1.4.) Thank you Nicolas! I will investigate doing an update as m ine version is 3.1.1 Charlie.

Some sites use a pop up "player" behind which is actually Realplayer. This works fine in Konqueror until, for some reason, the stream stops and I decide to close the pop up. This causes a complete system freeze and I then do a CAD which takes me back to the login. I have two questions: 1. Is there a way that I can get out of a situation like this without doing a CAD? and 2. Is there some setting that needs to be made/changed that will stop the lockup? Thanks in advance! Charlie. PS: Just wonder ...
Hello! I have just this week installed my first ever Linux and am pretty happy with SuSE - especially the winmodem that works faster than it ever did under Win98! Anyway, I have a problem playing midi files - I have CD, Real, wav (not tried MP3 yet) but no midi playback. I have correct settings in Volume Control. KMid opens when I click on a midi, the progress bar moves but no sound! I gather that there are problems in this area but would like to be able to play these files so any ideas would be...
