With everything going wrong or being so wrong in my life, I am not feeling to bad about it today. Kind of holding my own, in a slightly up beat mood. Which of course, knowing from past experience, as the day turns to night, and things wind down, I’ll start to feel guilty about feeling okay. Makes a lot of sense doen’t it ? NOT least not to me anyways.

I recently found a new font that I wanted to use for here and there on the web. So I located the font download intended for linux and downloaded it to my box. The next problem, since I have never done this before, was how exactly to install the fonts and or where to put them so they could be found. So I turned to the openSuse forums and did a quick search, found a mention if you were using Gnome, to open the file browser and type “font:///”, wondering if KDE was by chance the same way I gave it a short.

Now don’t get me wrong, Firefox is an outstanding web browser. It is my favorate as a matter of fact. Runs on Window, Linux, ect. It’s consistant across all the platforms for the most part, there are tons and tons of addon and extenstions for just about everything you can think of. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m lazy, or to put it another way - I have more important things to do beside trying to remember to update my system. Especially since I am running KDE4.1, there is a lot of improvements and bug fixes every day. It just makes sense to keep up to date. And if your a brave soul and running the beta you already know the heart ache of those pesky bugs and what not. Read the rest of this entry »

Well could not stand it any longer and upgraded my desktop from KDE 4.0 to KDE 4.1-beta. And I must say, it appears to be more stable then the 4.0, but it does have it’s problems here and there. Like when moving from desktop to desktop, I have 6, the plasmoids and wall paper do not show. And after the update today, I lose the default panel along the bottom. Oh well, still nice, wonder if the problem happens cause of dual monitor display? Who knows.
The KRunner is nice, hit Alt-F2 and you get a nice lil dialog. Real handy as a calculator too I found out be accident lol. Anyways, still exploring, breaking, repairing and playing.
Keep up the good work peeps on KDE 4.1

I had the same problem when I installed openSuse 10.3 as I did when I upgraded to openSuse 11, in regards to a dual monitor set up. The nVidia drivers just did not give the option for dual monitor.
The first time through a good friend of mine helped me out with the problem. And determined that the wrong video driver was installed, which was true. We thought that perhaps this was the same problem this time around. But after checking we had the correct drivers. Read the rest of this entry »

Some days are worse then other the saying goes. But the title of this post seems to sum up how I have been feeling for the better part of the month. Makes it really tough getting out of bed in the mornings, though I do.

The last few months have been rather rough, not easy to cope with at all. Least for me at any rate, and that in it’s self bothers me. And I don’t have a clue on what to do about it. I remember being trained in the Marines to over come and adapt, that failure is not an option. But that seems to be the only thing I have been doing, failing that is. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been running the new version openSuse 11 for a couple of days now and as I would expect there are a “few” bugs in the system. Mainly in some of the KDE 4 apps, KMail being the most trouble some. all is well until you try to put in a filter, then it crashes.
There are a few other area’s where I have a few problems, just can’t remember them at the moment.
I do like the new features of KDE 4 and compiz, I thought it would be so much eye candy but after using it for a couple of days it ’s nice. Helps a bit with the organization of windows, which for some reason I seem to always have a lot open.
There have been more then a few complains on the suse forums of making KDE 4 the default install, cause of the problems. Which are to be expected even from suse, though it is far better then the troubles installing M$ Vista or upgrading to Vista.
My major problem with KDE 4 is setting up KDevelop 3 to work the way I want it to rofl.
