[opensuse-kde3] openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 and KDE4 applications
by Gianluca Interlandi 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] Ideas for new NetworkManager frontend
by Serghei Amelian 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

Hello KDE3 users, I started the development for new NetworkManager frontend, but i'm not sure how to make it to be powerful and user-friendly at same time. Basically, it will have 3 components: 1) a secret agent running as KDE service 2) a connection manager, integrated in KControl 3) a kicker applet Any ideas will be apreciated (screenshots or .ui files created with Qt3 designer are preffered). Thanks. PS I attached a screenshot with current done work (the list of connections for ethernet and wireless). PPS Do not confuse "connection" with "access point" or "ethernet device". A physical device can have more than one connection (for example "eth0 work" and "eth0 home"). -- Serghei

[opensuse-kde3] 12.3 Beta1 - Very Slow USB2 (and USB3) Transfers
by Erik Sorenson 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

A follow-up. I installed KDE 4 into a real partition, straight from the 12.3 Beta 1 x86 DVD. No problem with USB transfers with this stock install. Only with a x86 or x64 install of KDE3. Doesn't that suggest that the KDE3 udisks implementation has a problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 12.3 Beta1 - Shutdown Not Working
by Erik Sorenson 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Shutdown not working again from Kicker (or right-click on desktop to "Log out ...) after a standard install of KDE3 Factory. Reboot working fine. If you change /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to include the -p parameter on the HaltCmd line, it does shut down properly. If this is not a KDE 3 issue, I will put in a report on Bugzilla. Please advise. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 12.3 Beta1 - Very Slow USB2 (and USB3) Transfers
by Erik Sorenson 18 Jan '13

After a standard install of KDE3 Factory, USB transfer to a USB2 stick are (e.g.,) 100K/sec. Removing the "automount_options = { sync, noatime }" line in /opt/kde3/share/config/udisks-glue.conf file, and logging out/in or rebooting, increases transfers to 7-8 mb/sec or more - a normal expectation. This situation and solution has existed since at least 12.2. If this is not a KDE 3 issue, I will put in a report on Bugzilla.
