It (The "Storage Media" icon) uses hal. There is a corresponding package kdebase3-SuSE in hal-enabled repo. IIR, I installed kdebase3-SuSE in 12.1 and it never showed up on the desktop like it did in 11.4 and earlier versions. And yes, I was using HAL and haldaemon was enabled.
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@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
