[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] kmail

sooo, it has been a while since I asked this question: is it possible to use kde3 kmail in suse12.xx, without kmail constantly losing track of previously downloaded mail from the server? this has been my experience with *every* installation I have tried to date ; this has forced me to other mail readers, but i still like the old kmail... thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] new misbehavior in 13.1B1?
by Felix Miata 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

In spite of 1600x1200 as first listed mode in xrandr output, and first listed mode in EDID modes list in Xorg.0.log, and 1600x1200 as PreferredMode in xorg.conf, KDE is starting in 1152x864, the mode on cmdline which I put there to cause the console framebuffers to use that mode. IOW, it won't start in PreferredMode. To get there requires use of Krandrtray or xrandr. Is this a new intentional behavior? It wasn't happening in prior 13.1 Intel installations here. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] small konq peave
by kanenas 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

my regular os is suse11.4 with kde3, but i have been testing 12.3 with kde3 for a while now, looks ok for now, Also, even though i often try the latest kde4, i still prefer kde3 to da max:) but i have one pet peave: I store my digital pictures in plain folders and i manipulate them as I please. The one thing that bothers me is that, when i point konq to one of the folders with my pics, only a few of the "icons" have thumbprints of the actual pics, most of the thumbprints have the generic jpg icon. Is it possible to fix that? thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

Can anyone tell me of a way to make the File/Directory selector use Tree View by default? Leslie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

From 5th corrupt session: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/xsession-errors-gx260-os131m4-i845G.txt Booting straight to KDM3 produces similarly corrupt video, but starting a session from it produces normal video, which is inherited by KDM3 after logging out. > Both systems run 13.1M4/3.11.rc7 on i845G video. > As check within past 10 or so hours I updated both of these, plus other > 13.1M4/KDE3 systems with Radeon and Nouveau video, and one with > 13.1M4/KDE4/Radeon without noticing any video corruption, but I didn't > look for traps in their dmesgs either, since I didn't notice register > dumps on tty1 during boot on them. > So, kernel problem?
