[opensuse-kde3] openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 and KDE4 applications
by Gianluca Interlandi 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi! I am about to install openSUSE 12.1 on a laptop. I want to use it mainly (or entirely) with the KDE3 desktop but I still want to be able to run KDE4 applications under KDE3. In the past, I have done this with openSUSE 11.3 and 11.4. During installation of 11.3 and 11.4, I selected KDE4 as the default desktop. Then I added the KDE:KDE3 repository and installed all the packages to properly run KDE3 following more or less the recommendations given here: HOW-TO: KDE 3.5 on 11.4 This has worked perfectly and I was even able to use the oxygen theme in KDE3. For example, okular and vlc came with the nice oxygen theme even when running under KDE3. My question is: Is this procedure going to work also with openSUSE 12.1 or is there anything in particular I have to pay attention to? Thanks!

[opensuse-kde3] kde3 and future releases, tumbleweed?
by Dexter Filmore 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi, I mainly switched to SuSE as it is one of the last dists that officially package kde3. Question is: is it going to stay that way? Will there be a repo for 12.2? tumbleweed? 13.x? -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

[opensuse-kde3] How do I setup Display Manager and Window Manager to allow switching KDE3 and KDE4?
by Robert Smits 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

As we've all learned form those marvellous Install KDE3.5 tutorials, it's easy to set up display manager and windows manger to get my OpenSuse12.1 KDE3 install to boot to the kDE3 desktop. I'd like to be able to switch between the two desktops, though. I seem to remember older OpenSuse desktops that would let you choose which desktop booted from a application you clicked on in the boot process. Can anyone describe what settings I need in display manager and window manager to do this? Is it still feasible? -- Bob Smits <bob(a)rsmits.ca> "Microsoft is not the answer.

[opensuse-kde3] k3b ffmpeg 0.11-1 patch
by David C. Rankin 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

Ilya, Here is a patch for review for k3b. This patch updates k3b/plugins/decode/ffmpeg to be compatible with ffmpeg 0.11-1 and eliminates all deprecated warnings during compile of k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp. It needs review and testing. Since these deprecations have existed for quite some time, there may be no need for preprocessor checks as the replaced functions have been deprecated for a long time. The patch addresses all of the following: k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp: In member function 'bool K3bFFMpegFile::open()': k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:82:84: error: 'av_open_input_file' was not declared in this scope k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:89:3: warning: 'int av_find_stream_info(AVFormatContext*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h:1357) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:89:41: warning: 'int av_find_stream_info(AVFormatContext*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h:1357) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:117:7: warning: 'int avcodec_open(AVCodecContext*, AVCodec*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:3380) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:117:44: warning: 'int avcodec_open(AVCodecContext*, AVCodec*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:3380) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:131:63: error: 'dump_format' was not declared in this scope k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp: In member function 'void K3bFFMpegFile::close()': k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:153:5: warning: 'void av_close_input_file(AVFormatContext*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h:1533) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:153:43: warning: 'void av_close_input_file(AVFormatContext*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h:1533) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp: In member function 'int K3bFFMpegFile::fillOutputBuffer()': k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:318:11: warning: 'int avcodec_decode_audio3(AVCodecContext*, int16_t*, int*, AVPacket*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:3658) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] k3bffmpegwrapper.cpp:320:14: warning: 'int avcodec_decode_audio3(AVCodecContext*, int16_t*, int*, AVPacket*)' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h:3658) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] HTH -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] glib2 >= 2.31, wv2 needs a quick patch for koffice to build
by David C. Rankin 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Ilya, If you build koffice, then with glib2 >= 2.31 you will need to patch wv2 (olestream.h) for the new glib inclusion scheme. You can grab the patch: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/tde/err/diff/olestream.h-glib.diff hth -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Documents not opening in front
by Dsant 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Hello, in KDE, a mouse clic on some files do not open the document in front (on the screen), but in back. I have to ALT-TAB. * in konqueror, jpeg images call The Gimp : 1 window back. (only if Gimp was already running before clic). * in kmail, clic on a URL http://google.com , opening in opera : where opera was :( * libreoffice : OK is there an argument I can give KDE preferences to say : open this type of document, with this application, but BRING IT FRONT ? I use KDE3.5.10, could be the same argument for kde4 thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] ksnapshot3 requires
by Felix Miata 24 Jul '12

24 Jul '12

Why does ksnapshot require ghostscript-fonts-other, which if allowed to be installed, also installs ghostscript, fribidi, ghostscript-x11 & libpcreposix0? I locked it out, which resulted in zypper installation of only kdegraphics3, fribidi & libprcreposix0, and I see nothing wrong with how ksnapshot works. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] system tray (systray) icons in two lines
by Istvan Gabor 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hello: I have installed openSUSE 12.1 64 bit with the latest KDE3 packages from KDE3 repo. For my pleasant surprise sftp works again. Thank for that, whoever made it. I also found that in the system tray the icons now are organized in two rows, which I don't like. They became two small to fit the height of the panel and also it is more difficult to distinguish and click them. Is it possible to set the system tray to show the icons only in one row?

[opensuse-kde3] 12.2RC1 USB Thumb Drive Mounting Issue
by Erik Sorenson 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Just installed ICEWM and KDE3 using the 32-bit DVD of 12.2RC1, following my regular "from scratch" method. Installed into fresh EXT4 true (not VM) partition. This time I did NOT add the HAL module, NOR add/use the KDE3-HAL-enabled repo. Everything seems to work fine, upon cursory use, with one exception. When I mount an USB Thumb Drive, KDE comes up with its regular "what do you want to do?" dialogue, but immediately after selecting an (open a window) option, I get the following error message: "Unable to mount medium "openSUSE-DVD-i586-Build0050". Reason: Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/root/openSUSE-DVD-i586-Build0050: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=0,gid=0,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sdb1" "/run/media/root/openSUSE-DVD-i586-Build0050"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" SDB1 is, of course, the USB thumb drive. Also, nothing shows up subsequently in /media or /mnt in Konquerer as to the contents of that thumb drive, after the error message appears. I don't know if this is a KDE3 or 12.2 issue, but thought that I would mention it here first. NOTE: 1. Mounting a DVD in a SATA-connected reader/writer works fine and normal. Its contents also show up in /media in Konquerer. 2. Both the thumb drive and the dvd may be ejected/released using an entry that shows up normally in the "Storage Media" icon on the desktop. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org
