I have exactly the same behaviour here after installing the KDE 3.2 rpm's for suse 8.2. Starting up I get the following error message : Font `-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1' not found. Check README.linux.console for help. After clicking that away and choosing an unicode font, things are OK, however I can not quit the application in a normal way, hence my changes are lost too and the next time I start Konsole, I still have the same mistake. The strange thing is that I installed these rpm's a second time (had too after applied some patches through YOU :-( ). Now the first time Konsole was ok, not so now, so I think it has to do with the setup in general, not with the program Konsole as such. I'm trying now to find some sort of configuration file for Konsole so that I can hack that directly. Marc Heyvaert Hello again, Well, I managed to change my font permanently (I failed to notice that you have to save your settings explicitly, sorry). So I don't have the error message anymore. I can use the Konsole, but when I quit the program hangs and the window stays on the screen, but nothing works anymore, so no input, no menu choice is possible. I have to kill the process (with KSysguard) On VERY rare occasions it is possible to close Konsole normally, but I have been unable to detect a repeatable pattern. Marc Just for some additional info, If I kill the window with Ksysguard/ctrl-atl-esc, I get kdeinit using 100% of the cpu, so I manually kill that one afterwards. This does not affect the rest of my KDE. Between the two of us, this seems to be a SuSe problem. I tried removing all the konsole config/schema files from .kde. Konsole now has all the default options (like tip-of-the-day), but still the same freezing behaviour is seen on exit. Rex Hrm. I've been poking, and it seems that my problem is in read(), as called from KWrited::block_in(). Read continues to wait for something to show up on the buffer. So, being a good little user, I grabbed the latest cvs snapshot, and compiled konsole, all ready to do some debugging, and the problem doesn't happen on the newest version! I would happily accept this, however block_in/TEPty/etc haven't changed from old version to new! So, Marc, I would give rebuilding konsole a shot (I did not build the full kdebase, just konsole only). Rex Hello Rex (and all if someone other is following this :) ) Well I try a recompile today or tomorrow. In the mean time I have discovered that for me the problem when I su (to root) I can close Konsole !?! Also when I su to another user identity that I use for developing purposes, I can also close the application. Strange... Like you said, it is probably some settingsproblem linked to suse Marc Rex and Marc, I too have the same problem Rex described. Did rebuilding konsole work for both of you? If so, I (a newbie) would appreciate it if you could tell me how to do that, or point me to some documentation. I'm learning a lot, but have a long ways to go. Thanks, Brian Well, with 3.2.1 out, using apt or yum to get the latest of gwdg.de would be best for a newbie. See http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ for the apt howto's and whatnot. Basically, you set up apt to use gwgd.de (instructions on that page), and just do "apt install kde" (as root).

Hi, Is this still a valid bug report. It seems that if you use the latest rpm's from SuSE Konsole is ok. Can the people who voted for this bug please confirm so that Rex (the reporter) can close the bug. As it is related to a binary release there is nothing to be fixed by the developers anyway.

Though I have not fixed it, it is because I'm choosing to wait for SuSe 9.1 and do an upgrade to everything at one time. I can use the workarounds until then.

After online-updating everything available, this problem is gone on my system.

I will close this bug; Brian if it is still a problem for you after my last email let me know. Let's chalk it up to a SuSE configuration issue in the RPM. Helps to close it when committing....sigh.... |
