[opensuse-kde3] Automounting of NTFS partition on USB disk uses wrong option "sync" [was Strange behavior of external disk with encrypted and clear partitions on opensuse list]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've noticed that under oS12.1 / KDE3 writing to NTF partition on external USB disk is terribly slow. It was not before and my (wrong) impression was that it happened after I defined the second partition on that disk as encrypted ReiserFS. The same disk worked perfectly well under oS11.4/KDE3. After discussion on opensuse list it turned out that the reason was that auto-mounter mounted this partition with sync option. Manual remounting without sync resolved the issue. I've also checked that under 12.1/KDE4 the disk is mounted correctly without "sync". So two questions: 1) was there any KDE3 / 12.1 update during last 2-3 weeks that changed something in auto-mounter behavior? 2) if possible, can someone explain or refer me to some documentation describing how this auto-mounting mechanism works (general flow and where the mounting options come from).

Create a shortcut to sysinfo:// +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yeah, that's what I thought too, and that's what I did when you first advised a few months back that kde3-kio_sysinfo was available in HAL-Enabled repo to get back the System Info functionality in 12.1. Didn't work then, still doesn't now (creating desktop "new link to application", with "sysinfo:// as the target/application). After creating it and invoking it, it comes up with the following error: "KDEInit could not launch "sysinfo://.. Could not find "sysinfo://" executable" Similarly, invoking /opt/kde3/share/services/ksysinfopart.desktop, which is installed by kde3-kio_sysinfo, throws up the error: "The desktop entry of type Service is unknown". It DOES come up properly in the right pane of Konq file browser if I key it (sysinfo://) in manually ... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ADDENDUM: I wrote too quickly. The desktop shortcut must be of the form "Link to Location (URL)", and the target syntax is "sysinfo:/" (one, not two forward slashes). If you do all this, it comes up properly like it used to in 11.4 and earlier. Ilya, are we going to have this functionality in 12.2 (and beyond) without the use of HAL? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

As you know, GCC-4.7 has been recently pulled to Factory. This lead to build problems in multiple packages. I already fixed the majority that has the most easy fixable errors, but there are still many packages that fail. Currently 17 KDE3 packages fail due to CCC-4.7 migration: CodeAnalyst kde3-directkonnect kde3-kipi-plugins kde3-kphotoalbum kde3-krusader kdebase3-SuSE kdesdk3 kima kmyfirewall krecipes kstopwatch qalculate-kde qbankmanager qtstalker rekall tork tulip Any help in fixing these packages is appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

just got a 64g card for my digital camera. The camera seems to work fine, when i plug it in a usb port it is identified as a ptp camera, but i can not see or transfer the pics. when i energize usb access in a virual box windoze vm, windoze can see and transfer the pics. When i put the old 4gig card in the camera, everything works. the os is 11.4 -x86-64, with the latest kde3 updates. is this a kde3 issue? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org
