Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 11

SUSE® Linux Enterprise Desktop provides the tools that Linux* users require in their daily activities. It comes

with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (KDE* desktop) that communicates with the underlying Linux system

to access and manage les, folders, and programs. SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop provides an integrated suite

of applications that meet all professional requirements to perform tasks in a business environment. The

OpenOfce.org suite is also included, which allows you to edit and save les in a number of formats. Because

the ofce suite is available for several operating systems, you can use the same data across different computing

platforms.

Getting Started

When you start your system, you are usually prompted to

enter your username and password. If you did not install

your system yourself, check with your system administrator

for your username and password.

After logging in to KDE for the rst time, you see the KDE

desktop, which shows the following basic elements:

Desktop Folder: By default, the desktop folder shows

the contents of its ~/Desktop directory. Whenever you

insert some le into this directory, it appears in this view

too.

Desktop Context Menu: Right-click an empty area on

the desktop to access the context menu for conguring the

appearance of the desktop, adding panels or widgets to the

desktop, conguring your desktop settings, locking the

widgets in their current position, or for leaving the current

session or locking the screen.

Desktop Toolbox: Move your mouse pointer to the icon

in the upper right corner of the desktop to access a menu

that lets you add or lock widgets.

KDE Panel: By default, the panel of your KDE desktop

consists of the Main Menu icon on the left, further widgets

and program icons, and the panel settings icon on the right.

If you hold your mouse pointer over an icon in the panel,

a short description is displayed.

Modifying Desktop Panels

The bottom panel can be customized to suit your individual

needs, and additional panels can be congured to further

personalize your desktop.

To add a new panel, right-click an empty area on the

desktop and select Add Panel. To delete a panel, right-click

a blank space in the panel and select Remove This Panel.

KDE Quick Start

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Desktop 11

NOVELL® QUICK START CARD

SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop requires that at least one

panel is left on the desktop.

To add new widget, proceed with Section “Adding and Re-

moving Widgets”.

Adding and Removing Widgets

Widgets are small applications that can be integrated into

your panel:

1. To add a widget to the panel, right-click an empty patch

on the panel, and select Panel Options →Add Widgets.

If these menu items are not available, your desktop el-

ements are probably locked. Unlock them rst as de-

scribed in Section “Locking and Unlocking Desktop

Objects”.

2. In the dialog box that appears, you can limit the selec-

tion of widgets that is shown with the drop-down list

at the top.

3. Select a widget and click Add Widget. The widget ap-

pears in your panel.

Starting Programs

Start programs from the Main Menu or from the command

line, using the Run Command dialog or a shell. Additionally,

you can start programs from the desktop or the panel by

left-clicking the respective program icon once.

Using the Main Menu

To open the Main Menu, click the Main Menu icon in the

panel or press Alt +F1. The Main Menu consists of the fol-

lowing elements: a search function at the top and several

tabs at the bottom, providing quick access to the key

functions of the menu. Additionally, the menu displays your

Favorites shows a default selection of key programs for

quick access, whereas Applications shows all applications

installed on your system. To navigate through the menu

structure, click an entry and use the arrow icons at the right

or the left to switch back and forth. Computer and Recently

Used provide quick access to some frequently used places,

applications, or documents. Leave shows several options

The Run Command dialog also allows you to use the so-

called Web shortcuts dened in Konqueror. With these, you

can send search requests directly to a search engine like

Google*, without opening the browser and visiting the Web

sites before. For more information, refer to Section “Finding

Information”.

Searching for Programs

Both the Main Menu and the Run Command dialog offer a

search function that lets you quickly start programs even

if you do not know the exact application name or command

yet. To search for an application, start typing a command

or part of the application name in the Main Menu Search

eld or the input eld in the Run Command dialog. Each

character you enter narrows down the search.

From the list below the input eld, choose the application

matching your query.

Handling Media

Favorites →Congure Desktop .

The General and Advanced tabs provide different categories

of settings. To get an impression of the numerous possibil-

ities, just click a category icon and explore the possibilities

provided there. Performing tasks in some areas of the con-

trol center requires system administrator (root) permis-

sions.

Change the settings as desired. No changes take effect until

you click Apply. To discard changes in the recent view that

you have not yet applied, click Reset. To reset all items in

the recent view to the default values, click Defaults.

To get back to the start-up view showing all categories

again, click Overview. You can also enter a search string at

the top of the window (for example, Screen Saver) to nd

the category which holds options related to the search

string. Each character you enter in the Search eld narrows

down the search.

Applying Desktop Effects

If your computer supports a 3D graphic card with Xgl, you

can use graphical effects like turning your desktop into a

rotating 3D cube, enabling translucent or transparent win-

dows, zooming in and out of the desktop screen, and using

other window effects, such as shadows, fading, and transfor-

mations. If you do not have a 3D graphic card, some effects

may be disabled or reduce the performance of your system.

To congure the effects on your desktop, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. Start the personal settings window as described in Sec-

tion “Modifying Personal Settings”.

2. Select Desktop →Desktop Effects and choose Enable

Desktop Effects.

3. If you like, choose some conguration from Common

Effects

4. Select the effects in the All Effects tab. The info icon

gives you a small explanation. Some effects may have

a conguration dialog for further adjustments.

5. Use Apply to enable the effects permanently.

To enable and use Xgl , you can make use of the following

effects:

• Wrap your virtual desktops around a cube and rotate the

cube to get to another virtual desktop. Rotate the cube

with Ctrl +Alt +→or Ctrl +Alt +←.

• Fly through the range of virtual desktops without having

to use the pager and select the one to use. To change to

this panel-like view, use Ctrl +Alt +↓. To scroll to a

desktop left or right of the current one, keep holding

Ctrl +Alt and use →and ←.

• Zoom into certain parts of the desktop. Select the area

to enlarge and right-click while holding the Windows key.

• Show all windows opened on one virtual desktop as if

they were resized so all t in the display at once. Arrange

the windows using Ctrl +Alt +↑. While holding down

Ctrl +Alt, use the arrow keys to determine the focus.

Using Virtual Desktops

The desktop environment allows you to organize your pro-

grams and tasks on several virtual desktops. If you often

run a lot of programs simultaneously, this minimizes the

number of windows to arrange on your screen. You might,

for example, use one desktop for e-mailing and calendaring

and another for word processing or graphics applications.

Moving an Application to Another Virtual Desktop

You can display a running application on one or all virtual

desktops or move it to other desktops.

1. Open the application.

2. Right-click the title bar of the application.

3. Click To Desktop.

4. Select the desktop on which to place the application.

5. To switch between desktops, click the desired desktop

in the pager in the panel.

Adding Additional Virtual Desktops

Some users might need more desktops than provided by

default. To add additional desktops:

1. Right-click the pager in the panel and select Congure

Desktops. A conguration dialog appears where you

can increase or reduce the number of virtual desktops.

You can also change the default names of the desktop.

2. Click OK to apply the changes and to close the congu-

ration dialog.

3. If you want the names of the desktops to appear in the

pager rather than the number, right-click the pager and

select Pager Settings.

4. From the drop-down list, select Desktop Name and click

OK to apply your changes and close the dialog.

Using the File Manager

With KDE 4, Dolphin has replaced Konqueror as the default

le manager, while Konqueror remains the default Web

browser (refer to Section “Browsing the Internet”). To start

Dolphin, click the card box icon in the panel or press Alt +

F2 and enter dolphin.

Dolphin Main Window

The Dolphin main window consists of the following ele-

ments:

Menu Bar: The menu bar holds menu items for actions

like copying, moving, or deleting les, changing views,

starting additional tools, dening your settings, and getting

help.

Toolbar: The toolbar provides quick access to frequently

used functions that can also be accessed via the menu. If

you hover the mouse pointer over an icon, a short descrip-

tion is displayed.

Location Bar: The location bar displays the path to the

current directory. It is available in two versions: one shows

the path to the current directory with icons for every parent

folder in a “bread crumb” view. Click any icon in the bread

crumb view to change to that directory. The second version

of the location bar shows the path to the current directory

as a string of text you can edit.

Panels: By default, Dolphin shows only the Places panel

on the right. It allows quick access to some often used

places like your home directory, the /root directory of

the le system, the trash bin, or removable media. There

are several other panels you can add to the main window.

Display Field (Working Space): The display eld shows

the contents of the selected directory or le. By default,

Dolphin displays the contents of your home directory on

start-up. Clicking a folder or le in Dolphin directly starts

an action: Dolphin loads the le into an application for

further processing or opens the folder.

Status Bar: Shows the le type and size of the currently

selected object and the available disk space .

Managing Files and Folders with Dolphin

To perform actions like copying, moving, creating or delet-

ing les, you need appropriate permissions to the folders

and les involved in your action.

To copy, move, or delete a le or folder, proceed as follows:

1. In order to select one or multiple les and folders in

Dolphin, move your mouse over the icon but do not

click. A green cross appears on the upper-left edge. If

you click on it, the icon is selected. Alternatively, press

Ctrl and click the le or les.

2. Right-click and select Copy or Cut from the context

menu.

3. Navigate to the destination folder in which to insert the

object.

4. To create a new folder at the current location, select

ry, press Ctrl +Ito add the Filter input eld to the bottom

of the Dolphin main window. Type any part of the lename

you are searching for to see all les in the current directory

containing the search string. For more detailed and ad-

vanced searches, press Ctrl +Fto use KFind. For more in-

formation, refer to Section “Using KFind”.

Conguring Dolphin

sions or ownership), select View →Additional Informa-

tion and enable the respective options.

5. To add further directories to the Places panel, drag a

folder from the working space to the Places panel and

drop it there. Right-click and use the context menu to

hide, edit or remove entries from Places.

6. If you want to add more panels to the main window,

select View →Panels and select additional panels such

as Information,Folders, or Terminal.

• The Information panel shows the properties and a

preview of the currently selected le. It also lets you

add comments to the le.

• The Folder panel shows a tree view of the whole le

system and lets you navigate trough all subdirectories

of /root.

• The Terminal panel attaches a command line to the

bottom of the main Dolphin window. Whenever you

click a directory in the display eld, the Terminal

panel also changes to the according directory, so you

can easily switch to the command line for certain

tasks you prefer to execute in a shell.

You can even detach the panels from the main Dolphin

window by clicking the left icon at the top of each panel.

Click the panel's title bar and drag it to another place on

3. Click OK to save the changes and to close the Dolphin

conguration dialog.

Browsing the Internet

Apart from Konqueror (KDE's default Web browser), SUSE

Linux Enterprise Desktop also includes the Firefox Web

browser. To start Konqueror or Firefox, press Alt +F2 and

enter konqueror or firefox.

With features like tabbed browsing, pop-up window block-

ing, and download and image management, both browsers

combine the latest Web technologies. Their easy access to

different search engines helps you to nd the information

you need.

Enter a URL in the location bar to start browsing. To open

a new, empty tab, press Ctrl +Tand enter a new URL. To

open a link in a new tab, click the link with your middle

mouse button. Right-click the tab itself to access more tab

options. You can create a new tab, reload one or all existing

tabs, or close them. You can also change the sequence of

the tabs by dragging and dropping them to the desired

position.

Finding Information

Both browsers offer different kinds of search options: you

can nd information on the Web or you can search the

current Web page for keywords.

Searching the Web

1. To start a search on the Web, click the left icon in the

search bar on the right to open a list of search engines,

like Google* or Wikipedia.

2. Select the desired engine and type your search keywords

into the input eld.

3. Press Enter to start the search.

+Fto open a nd bar at the bottom of the window.

Enter your search keyword there and use the buttons

beneath the bar to search in different directions or to

highlight all hits in the text.

Konqueror offers Web shortcuts for quickly searching the

Web. For example, to search the Web for yast using the

Google search engine, just type gg:yast into the Kon-

queror location bar (or the Run Command dialog) and press

Enter.

Apart from predened shortcuts such as gg for Google or

wp for Wikipedia, you can also dene further, individual

Web shortcuts as described in Section “Conguring Prefer-

ences”.

Downloading Files from the Web

If you download a le with Firefox or Konqueror, a dialog

window appears asking you if you want to save the le. In

Konqueror, you then need to specify the location for the

le. Firefox by default saves the le to the folder congured

in the Firefox Preferences and shows your nished downloads

in the Downloads dialog.

To open the downloaded les directly from there, right-

click and select Open. To clean up the history of download-

ed les, right-click and select Clear List.

Conguring Preferences

To adjust Konqueror or Firefox to your needs and wishes,

both browsers offer conguration dialogs. In Konqueror,

access the conguration dialog with Settings →Congure

Konqueror. To change the behavior of Konqueror as Web

browser, select one of the Web Browsing categories in the

left sidebar to show the options for the respective category.

make Konqueror identify as a different browser (for exam-

ple, Internet Explorer*) for certain Web sites you visit. To

do so, select Browser Identication, and click New to add a

new, site-specic identication.

You might also want to congure the Web shortcuts you

can use with Konqueror (and the Run Command dialog).

In the Konqueror conguration dialog, click Web Shortcuts

to see which shortcuts are already dened. Click New to

dene new shortcuts. Leave the Konqueror conguration

dialog with OK to apply your changes.

In Firefox, select Edit →Preferences to open the Firefox

Preferences. Click the icons in the upper display eld to ac-

cess the options for the respective category. For example,

change the default download folder on the Main page, or

adjust the pop-up blocking feature on the Content page.

Click Close to apply the changes.

Managing Passwords

When you enter a password in a KDE application for the

rst time (in KMail or Konqueror, for example), you are

asked if you want to store the password in an encrypted

wallet. If you click Yes, KWallet wizard starts by default.

KWallet is a password management tool that can collect all

passwords and store them in an encrypted le.

To activate KWallet, select Basic Setup and click Next. Select

Yes, I wish to use the KDE wallet to store my personal infor-

mation and enter a password. This is your master password

to open KWallet. It cannot be recovered if you forget it.

Click Finish to close the wizard. After this initial congura-

tion, you can open your wallet at any time to view, search,

delete, or create entries. Normally you do not need to insert

an entry manually. KDE recognizes if a resource requires

authentication and KWallet starts automatically, prompting

you for the KWallet password.

Whereas KWallet is designed to centrally manage passwords

for several KDE applications, Firefox also offers the ability

to store data when you enter a username and a password

on a Web site. If you accept by clicking Remember, the

password will be stored on your hard disk in an encrypted

format. Next time you access this site, Firefox will automat-

ically ll in the login data.

To review or manage your passwords in Firefox, click Edit

→Preferences →Security →Saved Passwords....

E-Mailing and Calendaring

For reading and managing your mails and appointments,

you can use Kontact as your personal information manage-

ment tool (PIM). Kontact combines KDE applications like

KMail, KOrganizer, and KAddressBook into a single interface.

This gives you easy access to your e-mail, calendar, address

book, and other PIM functionality. Kontact can also manage

multiple e-mail accounts, such as your private e-mail and

your business ones.

Starting Kontact for the First Time

To start Kontact, press Alt +F2 and enter kontact. To

access one of the components, click the corresponding icon

in the left sidebar.

Before you can send or receive mails, you must congure

an e-mail account. When starting KMail for the rst time,

a conguration wizard appears that assists you in setting

up your account: Select the Account Type you want to create

(like IMAP or POP3), enter your Account Information like

name and e-mail address, and enter your Login Information

for the e-mail account. In the last step, enter the Server In-

formation for incoming and outgoing mail and click Finish.

If you want to modify your e-mail account (for example, if

you need to change any ports or want to add a second ac-

count), click the Mail icon, then select Settings →Congure

KMail to open the conguration dialog. If you are not sure

about the settings or items to select, consult your Internet

Service Provider or system administrator.

To write a new mail, click the Mail icon in the Kontact main

window and press Ctrl +Nto open the mail composer. After

you have nished your mail, click Send to send it immedi-

ately. In case you have congured multiple e-mail accounts,

keep the Send button pressed, then select the account from

which you want to send the mail.

Instant Messaging with Kopete

tiple partners connected to the Internet to chat with each

other. Kopete currently supports a number of common

messenger protocols, such as AOL* Instant Messenger (AIM),

Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise® Messenger, ICQ, Jabber*, MSN,

SMS, and Yahoo!*. To be able to use instant messaging (IM),

you must register with a provider offering IM services and

congure a Kopete account.

Starting OpenOfce.org

The ofce suite OpenOfce.org offers a complete set of

ofce tools, including word processor, spreadsheet, presen-

tation, vector drawing, and database components. Because

OpenOfce.org is available for a number of operating sys-

tems, you can use the same data across different computing

platforms.

To start OpenOfce.org in the word processor view, press

Alt +F2 and enter oowriter. Alternatively, start OpenOf-

ce.org Writer from the Main Menu. To create a new doc-

ument, select File →New and choose the type of document

to create. To open an existing document, select Open and

choose the appropriate le from the le system.

Viewing PDF Files and Other

Documents

Documents that need to be shared or printed across plat-

forms can be saved as PDF (Portable Document Format)

les, for example, in the OpenOfce.org suite. View them

with Okular, the default KDE document viewer.

Using Okular Document Viewer

Apart from PDF les, Okular allows you to view a great

number of le formats, such as PostScript, several image

formats, OpenDocument format (ODF), OpenDocument

text (ODT), some eBook formats (ePub), and even Micro-

soft* Compiled HTML Help (CHM). Okular also provides

support for bookmarks, annotations, form elds and multi-

media contents, and rotation of pages.

Start Okular from the Main Menu or press Alt +F2 and

enter okular.

To open a document, select File →Open and choose the

desired le from the le system. Navigate through the

document by using the navigation icons at the top or bot-

tom of the window. Depending on which icon you click on

the navigation panel on the left, the sidebar either shows

a table of Contents, a Thumbnail view of each page, the

Reviews for this le, or your Bookmarks for this le. To lter

for any text listed in the sidebar or the overall document,

enter a string into the input eld at the top of the sidebar.

If you want to select and copy text or images from the le

in Okular, click the Selection icon in the toolbar and select

one of the options from the context menu. Click the Browse

icon to switch back to browsing the document.

Working with Bookmarks and Annotations

With Okular, you can review a document by highlighting

certain text parts or adding annotations or bookmarks that

Okular then attaches to the le in form of metadata. Note

that the annotations and markers you add are not stored

within the document, so you cannot print them or pass

them on to other users.

1. To add a bookmark for a page, click the page in the

sidebar or in the main display eld and press Ctrl +B.

The page is added to the Bookmarks list on the left

sidebar. Right-click the bookmark entry to access a

context menu for going to this bookmark or renaming,

or removing it.

2. To create an annotation for a page, press F6 and select

one of the annotation tools from the toolbar that ap-

pears. The annotation is added to the list of Reviews

and is agged with the login name of the user who

created it. Use the icons at the bottom of the sidebar

to group the annotations by page, by author or to show

the annotations for the current page only.

3. To open a pop-up note and add text for an annotation

(or to remove an annotation), right-click the annotation

entry in the Reviews list and select the respective menu

item. The annotations or markers you added are auto-

matically attached to the le, you do not need to save

them.

Searching for Data

KDE provides more than one application for nding data

on your computer or in the le system. One application is

KFind which is described below.

Using KFind

To perform basic and advanced searches, use KFind. Start

it from the Main Menu by clicking Applications →Find

Files/Folders or press Alt +F2 and enter kfind.

Searching by Name

To use a lename (or a part of it) as the search keyword,

proceed as follows:

1. Enter the lename or a part of the lename in the

Named input eld. Use wild cards, such as an asterisk

(*), to indicate missing characters in the lename.

2. Specify the folder in which to search for the le. Either

enter a path to the folder in Look in or click Browse to

locate the folder.

3. To search subfolders, check Include Subfolders.
