[opensuse-kde3] No pop-uo menu
by Bob S 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hwllo KDE3 uses Running `12.1 wqith KDE3. I don't know what you call this po-up menu but it is the one that comes up when you insert a CD or DVD. The one that asks you what you want to do. This dopes not happen for me. I know the machine sees the disk because I can use ab app like VLC and open the disk and play it. Could this be a hal problem? I think that is what caLL it. Any ideas on how to get it back/working for me? And, once I do, how I can add apps to it like VLC or smplayer. But that can wait until it is working.

[opensuse-kde3] duplicate messages in kmail 1.9
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Still trying to find why on my desktop kmail forgets what it has allready downloaded from the isp mail server (roadrunner, with a windoze pop server) and (re) fetches all that is stored there, almost all the time, on all or on some of the sub accounts i have there!!!! This happens on two different installs of 12.1, the first with both kde4 and kde3 installs, the second with kde3 only. For a while I thought the problem was solved with a different build of kdepim3, that was temporary. To make things worse, the problem is not consistent. Sometimes, there is no duplicate download. Sometimes there is duplicate download only on one or two of the subaccounts. Sometimes the duplicate downloading switches to another account and sometimes all the accounts keep bringing in a copy of all the emails stored in the isp server. And the maddening thing is that the same kmail data and config files that had the duplicate problem on the desktop were copied to the laptop, there they work just fine, there are *no* duplicates!!!!! the laptop has a fresh install of 12.1, with both kde3 and kde4, kde3 was installed from a running kde4. The still operational 11.1 (with kde3 only) on the desktop has no problem either. sooo, where do i look for usual suspects? this issue will soon make 12.1 a no-go if there is no solution. thanks in advance and happy holidays:) demitri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] kmail probs in 12.1
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

did a fresh install of 12.1. started with kde4, added the kde3 repo, clicked in the kde3 pattern, added a few more files, things seem just fine.ok, browsing is fine, multimedia is fine, system seems very crispy, adding 32bit hal did the trick for a few things, still can not get to pring to mu usb printer thru the host in virtualbox but can if i allow direct access to it from a vm, libreoffice comes up and seems to work fine, lifer seems fine! time to move kmail. copied the Mail folder from the old home directory, used conqueror as a super user, then changed all the permissions to the correct user. Copied the kmailrc file to the right spot, also the kmail folder from the old .~kde/share/apps location. Things seem to workat first. even the addressbook seems fine; alas, they work too good. The longer kmail stays open, the more duplicate emails i get! some i get more often than others! At this stage i am very reluctant to set the flag to "remove the messages from the server", first need to find out what part of kmail i broke. the setup is reasonably simple. The isp is roadrunner, they run windoze pop servers. my account has a total of 5 sub accounts. i have no local servers installed, just the default setup. the emails are saved in maildir format. The steps described above have worked for many many transitions in the past. any suggestions where to look ? I would hate to go to kmail for kde4 or switch to anything else, it would be too traumatic for my honi. soo, any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance,, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Kpilot and PDAs
by Robert Smits 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

I have a need to resurrect a PDA to keep track of my blood sugar and diet. I know I used to use Palm Tungsten E2s before Palm stopped making them. I know I can get refurbed models at a decent price. Does anyone still sync their PDA with Kpilot and KDEPIM? Problems? Suggested PDAs? Thanks, Bob. -- Robert Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

[opensuse-kde3] How is pulseaudio config handled in 11.4 & 12.1?
by David C. Rankin 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Ilya, All, How/where is the pulse audio config handled in kde3 that allows kde3 to integrate with it? Looking at ps, I get: 9184 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start 9286 ? Sl 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper The sound system setting is set to use 'Autodetect' as the hardware. Looking at the pulseaudio site, it suggests that kde3 can interface with esd and pulse, but I don't find anything esd related on my 11.4 install. Can you point me to where the config for pulse and kde3 is? Thanks. I apologize if it is something simple I'm missing, but I'm interested in taking a look at it. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] python-qt3-3.18.1-6.2.x86_64 update conflict with python-sip
by David C. Rankin 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Ilya I have run into a conflict attempting to upgrade the new python-qt3 package that I'm having difficulty solving. The yast conflict is shown here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE_bugs/114/kde3/python-qt3-conflict.jpg Basically, the error is that python-qt3-3.18.1-6.2.x86_64 requires python-sip >= 4.12.1, but that can't be satisfied. How do I handle this one? Or, is there a problem with dependencies in the python-qt3-3.18.1-6.2.x86_64 package? Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] digikam no longer recognizes camera
by David C. Rankin 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Ilya, all, Over the past month or so digikam no longer recognizes several of my cameras or iphone. Further, I can no longer browse the pictures in konqueror. The strange part is when I open the mount point /media/disk/... the directory structure just seems to keep repeating itself no matter how far down I go. I don't know if this is kde3 or udev related, but I wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this behavior and whether anyone has found a work-around. Thanks. -- David C.
