kde3utils-extra

Hi all. kde3utils-extra is part of the ymp. It requires libpython2.7.so which is not provided by any package. Is there any plan to apply the trinity patches for Python3 support? If not, it might also be removed from the ymp, as it does not seem to be necessary for a daily usage. Greetings Lioh

KDM and KSplash Theme
by Lioh Möller 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Hi all, I have created a KDM and a KSpash theme based on a Good old SUSE wallpaper. KSplash requires the moodin engine. You can find them here: KDM: https://www.pling.com/p/2055105/ KSplash: https://www.pling.com/p/2055102/ Depending on your screen resolution, you might need to adjust BaseResolution in Theme.rc for KSplash. The included wallpaper has a resolution of 1920x1200. Greetings Lioh

KIWI Receipts
by Lioh Möller 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

Hi all, a while ago I have build some KDE3 images using KIWI in SUSE Studio. Sadly after the discontinuation of the service I am not able to download the definitions anymore. I have also realized that in the meanwhile a new version called KIWI NG has been releases, so I would like to ask if any of you have already tried to build KDE3 Images using that technology and if you might want to share your results. Greetings Lioh

[kde3] requires?
by Felix Miata 24 Jun '23

24 Jun '23

Why are these demanded, not simply recommends? gptfdisk kdebase3-SuSE-lang libbd* lvm2 xdg-utils xfsprogs This is a 15.5 which previously only had TDE and IceWM. Total installed size after adding the KDE necessaries and additionals I actually have any use for: 2.7G. On other installations I've force removed some and never found their absence to be any apparent problem. I've never used lvm or xfs with any Linux distro, nor any lang but the default. xdg-utils requires a a bunch of extra perl packages, like Pod and Test-Pod*. Why does KDE3 require any perl? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata

23 Jun '23

Hi all, I have written a small tutorial on how to set up KDE3 on recent oS versions: https://www.spacefun.ch/gos I would have put it in the Wiki as well, but I get an error after logging in with my SUSE account. License is CC-BY-SA - Lioh Möller Greetings Lioh --

by Lioh Möller 23 Jun '23

23 Jun '23

Hi all, I have installed KDE3 on openSUSE 15.5 and have noticed that a shutdown is prompting for the Root password. Do you have any idea how i could allow my regular user account to shutdown and reboot the system without password? Greetings Lioh

[kde3] system sounds in 15.5

I did a fresh minimal (no-recommends) installation with only IceWM, then today: zypper in kdebase3 kdebase3-kdm kdebase3-session kdebase3-runtime kdebase3-workspace kdebase3-SuSE kdebase3-apps kdeutils3 kdegraphics3 kdeaddons3-kicker For sound, this is (what I'm guessing covers) the current installed state: # rpm -qa | egrep 'alsa|arts|gstr|jack|mix|pavu|puls|gstr|sof-f|vlc|wire' | sort alsa-1.2.8-150500.1.1.x86_64 alsa-plugins-jack-1.2.7.1-150500.1.1.x86_64 alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.8-150500.1.1.noarch alsa-utils-1.2.8-150500.1.2.x86_64 jack-1.9.12-150000.3.3.1.x86_64 libjack0-1.9.12-150000.3.3.1.x86_64 libjacknet0-1.9.12-150000.3.3.1.x86_64 libjackserver0-1.9.12-150000.3.3.1.x86_64 libpipewire-0_3-0-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 libpulse0-15.0-150400.2.10.x86_64 libwireplumber-0_4-0-0.4.13-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-alsa-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-module-x11-0_3-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-modules-0_3-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-spa-plugins-0_2-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-spa-tools-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 pipewire-tools-0.3.64-150500.1.2.x86_64 sof-firmware-2.2.4-150500.1.1.noarch wireplumber-0.4.13-150500.1.2.x86_64 wireplumber-audio-0.4.13-150500.1.2.noarch # systemctl --global --user status pipewire.{service,socket} ● pipewire.service - PipeWire Multimedia Service Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-05-30 00:33:48 EDT; 2min 28s ago TriggeredBy: ● pipewire.socket Main PID: 1580 (pipewire) Tasks: 3 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /user.slice/user-0.slice/user(a)0.service/session.slice/pipewire.service └─ 1580 /usr/bin/pipewire May 30 00:33:48 gx780 systemd[692]: Started PipeWire Multimedia Service. ● pipewire.socket - PipeWire Multimedia System Socket Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-05-30 00:21:11 EDT; 15min ago Triggers: ● pipewire.service Listen: /run/user/0/pipewire-0 (Stream) CGroup: /user.slice/user-0.slice/user(a)0.service/app.slice/pipewire.socket May 30 00:21:11 gx780 systemd[692]: Listening on PipeWire Multimedia System Socket. # systemctl --global --user status wireplumber ● wireplumber.service - Multimedia Service Session Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/user/wireplumber.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Tue 2023-05-30 00:33:48 EDT; 2min 34s ago Main PID: 1581 (wireplumber) Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /user.slice/user-0.slice/user(a)0.service/session.slice/wireplumber.service └─ 1581 /usr/bin/wireplumber May 30 00:33:48 gx780 systemd[692]: Started Multimedia Service Session Manager.
