https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786#c0 Summary: desktop-data-openSUSE makes KDE3's kcontrol empty on 11.4 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: anixx@opensuse.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ru; rv:1.9.1.18) Gecko/20110320 SUSE/2.0.13-1.1 SeaMonkey/2.0.13 This is a major problem, reported by all users who use KDE3. It was also reproduced in SUSE Studio. After a fresh install of openSUSE 11.4 with KDE3, kcontrol is shown empty without any modules, but if started separately the modules work well. An investigation of a user http://unixforum.org/index.php?showtopic=123223&view=findpost&p=1149112 pointed to the package desktop-data-openSUSE, since if to install this package from openSUSE 11.3 kcontrol worked well. Further investigation revealed the origin of the bug: a line <Directory>Hidden.directory</Directory> was removed from the file /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu I am currently preparing the patch. Please accept the patch to openSUSE 11.4 and in the project's GIT repository. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have no idea how KDE 3 works, and if it matches those files with Hidden.directory, then it is (imho) abusing the spec. If you don't have a Hidden.directory file, then I don't think it's right to change the menu file like this. And if we want a Hidden.directory file (to support the KDE 3 way of things), then it needs to be added to desktop-data-openSUSE too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Including a fixed clone of desktop-data-openSUSE (separate one for each release!) into KDE:KDE3 repository I consider a worser workaround and should be avoided. Not to say that kcontrol may be used not only by those who use KDE:KDE3 repository but also by those who uses only the official repo, just to setup the appearance of Qt3-based software. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you mean that all those entries should be listed in one file inside desktop-data-openSUSE,

This is not what I'm suggested. Look at /usr/share/desktop-directories/Hardware.directory for an example of a directory file. (In reply to comment #30)

Anyway, there is a problem and many people suffer. A conservative solution is suggested (based on how it was in 11.3, 11.4 and earlier). If you have to suggest something better I will support it.

I can't suggest something better as I have no idea why it doesn't work in KDE 3. What I can tell, though, is that we used to have a Hidden.directory file earlier and it got removed. Which is why I'm suggesting that a solution could be to add that to desktop-data-openSUSE. But really, we need someone who knows how KDE3's kcontrol works before changing this.

Isn't there anyone out there who knows how KDE3 works for this? Also, looking deeper, settings.menu doesn't exist anymore in Factory. So we should actually remove that part.

I use 11.4/KDE3 in my production environments, and would like to see this addressed and put to bed before 12.1/KDE3 is released.

FWIW, I can confirm that using 12.1m3(32-bit) and KDE3 Factory, and manually inserting the "Hidden.directory" line back into /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu in the specified spot fixes the problem of Kcontrol opening with a blank left side, i.e., no categories. Kcontrol comes up fine after the insertion. Also, FWIW, both my 11.4/KDE3 production and 12.1/KDE3 testing partitions have a ton of desktop files, as listed by Ilya in Comment #27 above, in "/opt/kde3/share/applnk/.hidden/......". Also, that /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu" in my production 11.4/KDE3 does have the "Hidden.directory" line in it (I didn't put it in), using the 11.4-13.18.1 desktop-data-openSUSE from the regular 11.4 openSUSE repo. Hopefully this will update everyone with what "a normal (but beleagured) user" is seeing, and give further insight into the least invasive approach to a solution. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786#c57 --- Comment #57 from Erik Sorenson 2011-10-10 13:18:30 UTC --- I did an install of 12.1 Milestone 5 x86 with KDE3 Factory. The "Personal Settings" program worked fully, as it has in prior distro versions. No "blank left side". The "applications.menu" file has the "Hidden.directory" line. But it was a quick test, aborted because of disk problems (HDD failed). Been trying to replicate/test with 12.1 Beta but, unfortunately, I'm one of the many who is unable to install because of the dreaded "transaction lock" error message during the base install. All versions (x86 DVD, X86_64 DVD, KDE Live CD install to HDD, NetISO). I'd like to verify it fully so we can close this and get it off Vincent's desk, but that will have to wait until the successor to 12.1 Beta is released, or a workaround found. In the meantime, we could informally consider this "bug" addressed, and I'll confirm when I can gen a new 12.1 xxx install. Does this sound like a satisfactory resolution? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please apply the patch attached by Vincent (this can be done even manually) and tell us if all is OK after applying it? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=686786#c59 --- Comment #59 from Erik Sorenson 2011-10-10 17:32:48 UTC --- OK, what I am talking about now is a new install of 12.1 beta_x86 DVD with KDE3 from factory, that I created last night (finally). This is a snippet of the bottom of the "/etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu" file that resulted from that install. It comes from 12.1-19.1 of desktop-data-openSUSE (the "extra" package is the same version). (snippet) <Menu> <Name>YaST</Name> <Directory>suse-yast.directory</Directory> <MergeFile>yast-settings.menu</MergeFile> </Menu> <Move> <Old>YaST</Old><New>Settings/YaST</New> </Move> <Menu> <Name>GNOME Settings</Name> <Directory>suse-settings.directory</Directory> <MergeFile>settings.menu</MergeFile> <Directory>Hidden.directory</Directory> </Menu> <DefaultMergeDirs/> <MergeFile>applications-kmenuedit.menu</MergeFile> <MergeFile>custom.menu</MergeFile> </Menu> (Note: This is the end of the file) This version works, as I wrote earlier today. That is, a bog-standard install produces full functionality in "Personal Settings" --- there's no blank left panel. In comparing this to the change info that Vincent supplied, it looks the same to me. So I'm at a loss to determine what I should change or test. If someone points me to a .rpm, I can do it, but if there is anything more complicated than that, I'll need some help/instructions. Please advise. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then rebooted into 12.1 to see the impact. Personal Settings works as it did, pre-change; I can see no differences. Nothing else is changed; there is no adverse impact and, as I previously noted, Personal Settings functions work as they should. Nada breaks (that I could see). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
