Why Is kdelibs4, libakonadi4, ... being installed? WTF?

All, I am just updating a 15.2 box and have 31 NEW KDE4 packages being installed in my KDE3. The following 31 NEW packages are going to be installed: babeltrace kde4-filesystem kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace-libs kdelibs4 kdelibs4-branding-upstream kdelibs4-core kio_audiocd4 libakonadi4 libakonadiprotocolinternals1 libattica0_4 libdbusmenu-qt2 libdmtx0 libical3 libkactivities6 libkcddb4 libkcompactdisc4 libkde4 libkdecore4 libkdepimlibs4 libksuseinstall1 libmusicbrainz5-1 libneon27 libopencore-amrnb0 libopencore-amrwb0 libphonon4 libpolkit-qt-1-1 libprison0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libqjson0 libx264-161 That is Bad JuJu! Why are all the new kde4 packages being installed to my KDE3 desktop?? I do NOT want anything to do with akonadi. What is the reason for this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi my dad and I are trying to share files over the home network from his Linux Opensuse 15.2 to my Windows 10 computer in another room. What is the simplest way to set this up? Thank you!

.webp capability needed (note to self and list)
by David C. Rankin 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

While I'm thinking about it. I ran across a .webp image format in a page the other day and there was no handling associated with it. Imagemagick handles it fine, so in the TODO list we need to add support for that format. I'm not sure where the basis for the graphics formats live, but I suspect this will be a kdelibs issue since it is a basic format like .jpg and .png and shouldn't only depend on installation of kde-graphics, etc.. This is a note for me, but like the sftp:// ssh dialogs on kate open from a remote site, if anybody is curious or beats me to it, more power to you. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Kate - need to update open remote project so individual ssh connection dialogs are not shown
by David C. Rankin 02 Jan '21

All, While I'm thinking about this, kate has a longstanding problem with remote projects we need to look at (as time and energy permit). The problem is this, when opening a project from a remote server where files are opened with sftp:/, kate displays a ssh connection dialog for every file opened. This is not new and has been from time immemorial (KDE 3.4?). In the past it was comical when I had a project containing 118 PKGBUILD files for building TDE on arch in a project, but it is something that we should probably fix. I have a current project with 24 files, and opening the project, the screen is momentarily covered with small ssh connection dialogs. (though you can see the good placement logic used by kde3 as the dialogs start top-left and each new dialog is opened below the current until the bottom of the screen is reached and then moves over a dialog width and repeats -- much like running ls on a large directory would do...) This is as much a note to myself as to anyone else, but if you are curious and get to it before I do -- more power to you. To duplicate, open kate and then open 20 or so files from another machine on you lan that allows ssh connections. Open using sftp. Save the current selection of files as a new project and close kate. Then reopen kate selecting the project -- and enjoy the dialog show. note: you may have to edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote host to allow more than the 15 default connections to be started by adding the following to the config file: MaxStartups 30:50:100 the limitation was added to address DDOS attacks. The setting above allows 30 ssh connections to be start simultaneously. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
