[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] User session tracking patch needed for pure systemd (no consolekit)
by David C. Rankin 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Ilya, All Do you have a patch yet to fix the user session tracking problem in KDE3 in a pure systemd environment (no ConsoleKit)? I'm trying to work out the problem of TDE leaving kdeio_file/sftp/http processes running after the connection is closed. This has to do with the freedesktop migration to systemd requirements listed here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-display-managers/ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/writing-desktop-environmen… Right now this is being work as TDE bug 1902 - http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1902 If you know of a patch that does this for kde3, please let me know. I have the kde4 patch that implements a multi-seat solution, but the current approach is to implement a single-seat fix, then work on the multi-seat solution. The kde4 patch for this is in kde 4.11. The patch is named: kde-workspace-4.11.1-kdm-logind-multiseat.patch I don't have the url handy, but if you need it, I'll track it down. Let me know. Thanks. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Problems with screensavers
by Chika 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Actually, this appears to be a problem that has been an increasing pain since I first ran across it in V12.1. The symptoms go a bit like this. When I try to open the screensaver settings from the "Configure Desktop" right-click option, the window opens for a couple of seconds, showing "Loading..." in the screensaver selection area. It will then crash with no visible error and take the entirety of the desktop with it. The only fix I have to hand at that point is to restart the session. If I try to do the same thing from the control centre, it does almost exactly the same thing except that it doesn't take the desktop with it. I suspect the fault is the same one but the fact that the screensaver setup page is embedded in another program means that it doesn't get a chance to kill the desktop. I have now built KDE3 on openSUSE 13.1 four different times, both by overlaying it on KDE4 or building it on a minimal X Window build, and I have used different systems to do it on, though on each occasion this has been on VirtualBox systems. The only other clue I have to hand is that the kio_sysinfo slave comes up with "Process for the sysinfo protocol died unexpectedly" error when I try to use that (which is very annoying and, before anyone says it, NO I do NOT want to use that overstuffed "infocenter" thing!) Any clues? Ta -- Chika -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] koffice/kthesaurus WordNet extension package available in OBS and my custom spec
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Ilya, All, I packaged WordNet as an extension for koffice/kthesaurus for TDE and built a spec for openSuSE. (then Greg provided a link to the one in OBS -- bummer) The spec I have includes the WordNet 3.1 database update to WordNet-3.0. The wordnet rpm in OBS at: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Education/wordnet/wordnet.spec… If you want the 3.1 database update, you can add it from this spec: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/openSUSE/pkg/wordnet.spec The wordnet extension adds quite a bit to kthesaurus. It provides synonyms in sentence context: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/ss/koffice-kthesaurus-wordnet.jpg Useful tool, perhaps add it as an optional package for koffice. Keep up the good work. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] patches applied to kpowersave ?
by David C. Rankin 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Ilya, Robert, Where can I see the patches you are applying to kpowersave? There are a couple of k(tde)powersave issues we are looking at on the trinity list and would like to compare. Which build service project hold the current kde3 build? -- David C.
