How do you disable menu items in KDE?

Ron — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:30:57 -0400

In Gnome 2, you could use the "Main Menu" applet ( aka "alacarte" ) and just uncheck any menu item / shortcut to an program which you didn't want displayed in the menu ( and thus it wasn't accessible to the user that way either )..... so my question is, how do you do the same think in KDE?

I have items showing up in the menu that I don't want to delete/remove, merely disable so they no longer show up in amy menu listing.

How to recover saved (stored) emails after damage to KMail configuration?

Jakub Narębski — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:23:08 -0400

Recently my computer had to be hard-reset, and fsck ran on /home filesystem, producing lots of errors (old HDD drive).

After reset I don't see all my saved emails in KMail (KDE 3.5.3), at least those that were present in folder that was opened when computer crashed. The files are there physically in ~/Mail/folder/cur, but they are not visible in KMail component of Kontact.

The configuration files got damaged -- beside not seeing all saved emails, I have lost configuration of all my email accounts.

Is it possible to fix KMail configuration to make those saved emails visible again?

Login problem in RHEL 6.0 Beta

Ashi Sharma — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:15:34 -0400

I have downloaded RHEL 6 beta from www.redhat.com site and installed it on my PC successfully. When I want to login with root in GNOME/KDE, the system gives me a error message that AUTHENTICATION FAILED and I'm unable to login while I can login with root from terminal/text mode.

But I can login with other user or local user successfully.

Please help me and solve my this problem.

Which is the best KDE based distribution?

carleeto — Tue, 11 May 2010 20:21:34 -0400

I'm looking for a distribution that allows you to use KDE to control any aspect of your system. It should also have taken care of things like theming GTK applications so they do not look out of place when run under KDE. It goes without saying that crashes while using KDE should be zero.

In other words, I'm looking for a distribution that feels like it was made with KDE in mind from the ground up. I've tried Kubuntu and honestly, KDE feels like a second class citizen there. I'm talking an experience similar or better than OpenSuse 11.2. I'm talking a KDE distribution with not just the kinks ironed out, but one with polish.

Does this bring any distribution to mind?

Revive Dead Consoles after Suspend

Slug — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:48:25 -0400

Hello everyone. I'm using Slackware13.0 & I've encountered a rather perplexing situation. I was wondering if there where any fellow slackers or wizened gnu 'rus out there who could lend a hand.

While using the kde4 desktop environment, after using the suspend to ram feature, I cannot revive the other consoles? tty0-7, or the consoles you get when you ctrl+alt+fn". The only one I can revive is the one I last used; xwindows, or tty7.

If anyone could help point me in the right direction towards a resolution, I'd be most grateful!
