Hi all,
I’m still connecting by means of a modem (OK …).
I do need KInternet to connect.
Although if in the KInternet preferences I selected that KInternet
should load automaticly at startup/boot, this just this doesn’t happen.
A workaround is possible, by placing an alias of KInternet on the
desktop and clicking on that one after startup.
However, couldn’t I get it to load automaticly like it worked under
11.1 / KDE 3.5 ?
Thanks
Mike
Put it in the start directory.
Hi again
Please know that I’m not very experienced with respect to the command line,
although I know very well what `man’ is about.
Using ‘Find Files/Folders’ from the SUSE menu,
the only folder named start' that is found starting from /’ is
/usr/lib/scpm/resource_types/service/start/
In this folder there are 3 shell scripts: generic, network & SuSEfirewall2 .
Under openSUSE 10.2 besides (I have a multiboot), where Kinternet
starts up properly, in this folder I only have the shell scripts generic & network .
is /usr/lib/scpm/resource_types/service/start/ the right folder ?
Then, if it would be the right folder, how can I place into that folder a
symbolic link to KInternet or what would a shell script to call KInternet
would look like ?
A link to corresponding documentation would be very helpful as well !
Best wishes
Mike
Hi Mike,
You could try putting it in KDE’s autostart list. To do this go to System Settings (I think it’s still Configure Desktop (Personal Settings) in kde 4.35) and click on the Advanced tab. There should be an entry called Autostart. From here you can add the program KInternet. Restart and see if it works 
Take Care,
Ian
Hi Ian,
thank you.
However, I don’t seem able to locate the settings dialogue you suggested.
Under KDE 4.35, in Konqueror there are hardly any settings left.
In Dolphin, under Settings/Configure Dolphin I find:
I neither discovered an entry advanced' nor an entry autostart’.
Best wishes
Mike

In KDE 3.5 you would right click the desktop for one entry to settings.
There was another from the lizard logo (defaults to the lower left
corner) in configure desktop. Have no idea if either of these work in
KDE 4.X.
Yes, from the lizard logo (application launcher) you can click Configure Desktop (Personal Settings) and that’s where you’ll need to click the advanced tab and then autostart. The actual name of Configure Desktop is systemsettings.
Take Care,
Ian
Hi JosephKK and Ian,
great, it works !
Under KDE 4, a right click on the desktop doesn’t seem
make accessible the necessary settings.
But through the lizard logo (lower left corner),
searching Configure Desktop (Personal Settings),
and then selecting the ‘Advanced’ settings,
it worked out fine.
Thanks to both of you.
Best wishes
Mike
You can change the right click behavior if you want to. If you right click on the desktop then go to Desktop Settings. Under the category Mouse Settings, just change right button to Application Launcher. Or, do as I did and assign it to the middle button (I never use it to paste anyways) so you don’t have to get to desktop settings by consecutively hitting Alt+D, Alt+S.
Take Care,
Ian
