[opensuse-kde3] standard repos vs. KDE:KDE3
by Felix Miata 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Until a recent thread I had no idea I didn't have to enable KDE3:KDE3 in order to have KDE3 in release-latest (aka 12.2). Today I did a fresh 12.2 install minimal, then tried to add KDE3. However, zypper se kcm produces no kde3-kcm_gtk without enabling the KDE3:KDE3 repo. Why? What other KDE3 packages require enabling the KDE3:KDE3 repo? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

No, the official KDE:KDE3 repo for 12.2 has the shutdown problem in kdmrc. I have not tried the version from the repo that you quoted, but will take your word that it works. If http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2/standard/i586/ contains more recent, production-use versions of KDE3 code, and you thought that everyone is using it, then perhaps this is the issue. I was not aware of this repo, it is not selectable from Yast, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere. Do you intend to update KDE:KDE3 with these changes? Should everyone using KDE3 also add your new repo and select the newest from whatever has it? Or should use of KDE:KDE3 be dropped? Please advise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

The POP3 ioslave used by KMail 1.9 is in the KDE3 package kdebase3-runtime, so it won't be affected by KDE 4. I think the posting you remember (although I don't recall a specific one myself) would have referred to the Akonadi migrator enabled with KDE 4.6, which disabled old kresource API based addressbook and contact resources as they were migrated to Akonadi resources. However, POP3 access before Akonadi used ioslaves, not kresources, so this migration did not affect it. You can use the following technique to see if kdeinit complains when the slave fails to start. You don't need to go as far as attaching gdb, since it appears the slave process just dies. http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Debugging_IOSlaves NB use "pop3" as the ioslave to watch, and the example instructions refer to KDE 4, so s/kdeinit4/kdeinit/. Please follow up on the kde3 list though, they may have more suggestions.

Hello Since i have upgrade to 12.1 i´m missing my USB Storage's on the Desktop. Instead i have now a Link to media:/ . This is nice but it does not allow me to safely remove a device. Is there a way to have the USB Storages back on the desktop ?
