I added the system guard applet to my panel a few months ago. Then, about 2 days ago it started asking me to specify a connection type each time I logged in to KDE. Clicking 'cancel' to the selection dialog made the dialog box disappear and reappear asking the same question over and over.
The solution appears to be to answer "custom command" and specify "ksysguardd" into the text box. That fixes the problem for future logins as well. This seems to have started being a problem for me when I upgraded to ksysguard 4:3.5.5-1 on 6th October. The previous version, ksysguard 4:3.5.4-2+b2, installed on 27th September didn't show this dialog at startup. Comparing the config file on disk before and after answering the dialog's question, I see that the change it makes is the following: --- .kde/share/apps/ksysguard/old/KSysGuardApplet.xml 2006-10-10 03:16:19.000000000 +0200 +++ .kde/share/apps/ksysguard/KSysGuardApplet.xml 2006-10-10 03:49:04.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE KSysGuardApplet> <WorkSheet sizeRatio="2.16" dockCnt="10" interval="1" > + <host port="-1" shell="" name="localhost" command="ksysguardd" /> <display topBar="1" ... > <beam ... /> <beam ... /> ie. a single "<host ...>" line was inserted before the first <display ...> line. Perhaps the postinst script could be changed to insert this line in each user's KSysGuardApplet.xml file automatically if it doesn't already exist? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
