If you have it there is a spot in the KDE control center called "Login Manager" under the "System Administration" tab. Go into "Administrative Mode" by clicking the button at the bottom of the "Login Manger" window.
Now you can click the Background tab at the top. Here is where the picture and or color is coming from. You can tell it to use a picture then point to the same pic you use as your desktop background. Then change the background color to one that goes with your theme. |

Well I must admit I knew nothing about ditching zmd only that I wished I could. After finding your utility and reading about its options i did some research on ditching zmd. (my unclear belief is that this will only update the oss and non oss packages with security related updates and patches. Is this correct?)
I ended up at a decision to use opensuseupdater for oss and non-oss repo updates and Smart for all of the other repos I use (Smart does not have oss and non-oss or update enabled). I have 2 updater icons but thats no big deal. I get security and patch related updates from the opensuseupdater and updates on all of my other stuff from Smart. Then I use Yast (It has all the repos enabled) to do my package management.
Does this make sense? Is this a workable and or good way to go? What exactly do you do?
Thanks for your help and any info you have on clearing this up. |

Hey cb400f great scripts thank you for your work on them. I have a quick question and some feedback.
- I took yours and others suggestions and kicked ZMD! (Wish I had sooner) I tried your "kick ZMD" but it did not work. I had shutdown ZMD before hand but it still did not work. I took a look at your script and tried your command from terminal. It ran fine but I had to answer "y" I believe 2 times. I think this is why it did not work from within your GUI.
- I knew nothing about SMART and how to set it up. If you could include a link or some sort of documentation on the commands you will need to run or steps needed to install and configure SMART that would really help. I think my problem was not rebooting before adding channels to SMART. I used your script to add the channels I wanted without incident. However, when I rebooted the next day I had to run a command (not sure if it was the correct command but it worked "smart channel --show") to get SMART working and it then asked me all the channel questions I had read it was to supposed to ask me about ( I answered n to all as I had set it up perfect the night before). I guess i could have saved some time if I had let it do its default setup then use your script to tweak. It seems many of the same channels you have are built into SMART and will be added if you say so upon SMART configuration. Hopefully this makes sense to you and anyone trying to do the same.
- All that being said thank you so much for this and your xgl-settings scripts. They have really helped me. |

I am using openSUSE 10.2 and have an ati9800 video card. To get your script to work I had to edit the xgl.kmdr script like so.
Changed:
echo 'beryl-xgl &' >> ~/bin/kde-start-compiz
echo 'beryl-manager &' >> ~/bin/kde-start-compiz
chmod 775 /opt/kde3/bin/kde-start-compiz
To:
echo 'beryl' >> ~/bin/kde-start-compiz
echo 'beryl-manager &' >> ~/bin/kde-start-compiz
chmod 775 ~/bin/kde-start-compiz
(I do not have a /opt/kde3/bin/kde-start-compiz file and am not sure why but I only need beryl instead of beryl-xgl &. I use the steps from the Suse Wiki which say use beryl then beryl-manager &)
My question is while this made it work is this the correct way to do it? Is this change needed because I have an ATI video card? I have a similar script that also adds a "sleep 5" after the "beryl-manager". Is this needed (seems to work without it).
PS - I use your konvienentSUSE script as well and really like them both. I am going to go add a comment on some things to that one now as well. |
