Hello, I have a simple question today: Is it possible to map the set a keyboard shortcut for the KDE4 function that lets you see all open windows at once. I don't remember its name, but it's the same as Mac's Exposé. Currently it is set to be called when I move my mouse tto the upper left corner, but I want to have a keyboard shortcut for it. Thank you

Hello, I'm using vino and vinagre for VNC connections in my network. I am the one (ninja) in charge of monitoring people's behavior and providing remote support via vnc. However, whenever I connect to another machine via vinagre, a message asking for a password pops up in the other machine, which totaly blows the idea of secret monitoring. Is there any way of disabling this gnome keyring or something so that it never asks for pasword? I mean, the idea is that only I can access other machines using the password, and that other users do not use vnc to connect to other machines (because they do not know the password), but the problem is that the observed machines keep asking for the password to allow the administrator to see them!! Thank you.

Hi, I have a simple question: why are almost all my KDE screensavers broken? Is it normal? I have installed several screensaver packages using MCC, but still most of them won't work. Any ideas?

Oh, thank you very much for both things.

Yes, I know but it gives me a 'command not found'. I even tried just kdesu, and it didn't recognize it either. I have tried it in another machine with Manriva 2010 and it's not working either. Oh, problem solved: First of all: kdesu is somehow not in my PATH, therefore I ha to run /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu Second: there were a bunch of corrupted samba configuration files, I uninstalled samba and reinstalled it. Now everything is fine. Now, How do I mark this thread as solved again? How do I edit the title (I can edit my messages, but how do I edit the title to add [solved]?)

kdesu is not recognized by my system. Couldn't find a way to do it like in other Mandrivas so I'll resort to the MCC interface...

It does, but all the options are grayed out. This is exactly the Window that is not appearing after I type my password in Dolphin.

Nope, my problem is that the main configuration panel does not appear after I enter the root password. Is it abug in KDE4? Also, I can't start swat either, I type my computer's name and then :901, but it does not work either, so I can only share files using MCC's utility... This only happens in Mandriva 2009.1 Edit: solved the swat problem. It was not set to start when asked... Still stuck with the KDE problem though

Thanks for the welcome AussiJohn. And Ian, I have already installed SWAT, but don't know how to run it. The only entry that appears in the menu is SWATconfog or soemthing like that, but when I run it, it tells me there is a xml, or config file missing. How do I use SWAT. Oh, and yes, I have a WinXp machine and a Mandriva2009 machine. I have tried with a third machine that has Mandriva 2010, and everything works there. Thank you for your fast replies

Hello, I would like to request your help with the folowing problem: I have a WinXP machine and a Mandriva 200.1 machine. I decided to share files via SAMBA. I read the tutorials here and in many other places before installing and configuring. Everything went well, I can see the Linux shared folder from Windows and all, BUT... It seems that, in Mandriva 2009.1, the 'sharing' tab in Dolphin's properties menu does not work. I right click on a folder , select sharing, press the only button that appears there, then it asks for the root password, and I enter the correct one, but then it just does nothing, the button goes gray for one second, but then the window does not appear. If I choose ignore, the right window does appear, but everything is grayed out because I am not root. I have managed to share the files via control center, but I'd like to do it from Dolphin, as it is faster that way. thank you
