[opensuse-kde3] KDE:KDE3 issues
by Ilya Chernykh 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi people. I suggest you all to subscribe to opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org so I could send e-mails directly to this mailing list. I have several questions, suggestions and clarifications regarding status of KDE:KDE3. - First of all I have to announce that we completed for the most part moving of packages from KDE:Communitry. It has been done much quicker than by the KDE4 team. Some packages are not moved because they have problems either with build or during runtime. Some packages like ksquirrel have well-known security issues. I do not know should we include them in KDE:KDE3 or not. - It seems that some packages were disabled for Factory. Namely, kdemultimedia3 and anything related to Beagle. Please tell me the actual reason or the disabling. I can add to KDE:KDE3 repository any libraries needed for the build. For example, I can restore kdemultimedi3. Or are there any other reasons for the disabling? Beagle in particular is essential for finding topics in KDE help system. - I am planning to add some soft dependencies to some basic KDE packages to improve user's experience. For example, it would be good in my view if kdebase3-workplace recommended kde3-knemo and desktoptext-config. Also some plugins may be recommended. Please tell me if this is against OpenSUSE packaging policy. - I have long-range plans to include Qt3-based versions of Yast2, VirtualBox and Firefox. If somebody has experience in compiling Firefox for Qt3, any help welcome. - OpenSUSE maintainers, what's your opinion about possibility to include KDE3 option to OpenSUSE? The basic part of KDE3 (including kicker, konq, ksysguard, kcontrol) is already included (to be precise, it was never removed from OpenSUSE), but the ability to logon on KDE3 is disabled. The status of KDE3 repository has improved considerably in recent times, so it may look reasonable to reconsider KDE3's status. To enable a user to install KDE3 on his system we need to include only a tiny package kdebase3-session which takes only 4 kb, this package includes the .desktop file for the session manager so the user could choose KDE3 on the logon screen. - Besides this one can consider including KDE:KDE3 repository in the list of community repositories along with the Education repo etc so a user could be able to install the full version of KDE3 from the community repo. - Some KDE3 packages (koffice, pdfedit) currently experience problems with building for Factory 32-bit architecture. This is not a KDE3 bug, but an issue of brocken zlib in Factory, it was also observed on other distributions. I have reported a bugreport: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634995 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] flash dysfunctional with KDE3 konqueror
by Hans-Peter Jansen 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

From the "too tired to watch the nsplugin viewer crashing all day long" camp Hi, since $subject nagged me quite some time now, I crawled though the web and found some hints, that may solve the issue. Backported them. Check out home:frispete:KDE3/kdebase3 (when ready..) and let me know about the outcome. I'm able to view http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/destination/iss/flash/index.html successfully ATM, BTW.

[opensuse-kde3] crashing Knotify in 11.2 x86

[opensuse-kde3] Can't configure screens
by Larry Stotler 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

I'm testing KDE3 on 11.3/x64 and I can't configure my screens. I have a 19" 4x3 CRT and a 21.5" 16x9 LCD 1920x1080. Right now it clones what I have on both. When I click on display in configure desktop, it changes the resolution from 1024x768 to what looks like 1280x1024. I know that SaX2 has been depreciated. Is there a factory available version I can use to make my system work?

[opensuse-kde3] autoq3d-ce-qt3
by Ilya Chernykh 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

A new package autoq3d-ce-qt3 has been just added to KDE:KDE3. Thank very much to Malcolm Lewis who patched it for the new GCC. Just note that Qt4-based version is forgotten, lays in home:llunak:attic and disabled since nobody bothers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] gtk style and font in KDE 3
by Istvan Gabor 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hello: I have a problem with gtk styles and font sizes in KDE 3.5.10 in openSUSE 11.2. The gtk styles and font sizes are not consistent for different users on my system even if the gtk style setup is the same in KDE control center. I found that for different users the values for GTK2_RC_FILES are not always the same. For example for test1 is: ~> echo $GTK2_RC_FILES /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/home/test1/.gtkrc-2.0-qtengine:/home/test1/.gtkrc-2.0:/home/test1/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 for user is: ~> echo $GTK2_RC_FILES /home/user/.gtkrc-2.0-kde:/home/user/.gtkrc-2.0-qtengine:/home/lxuser/.gtkrc-2.0:/home/lxuser/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 When I set gtk style and font in KDE control center a ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde file is created but is seems it is not used. Furthermore for the same user the style is different (eg. window background color) depending on whether the application is started in konsole or KDE application runner (Alt+F2). I have kde3-kcm_gtk-0.7svn20070827-21.2 installed. Earlier I had kde3-gtk-qt-engine but curently it is not available in 11.2 KDE3 repos. My questions are: 1. Which one of the above two is preferred or better? 2. How the GTK2_RC_FILES is set up? 3. How the gtk style and font size is determined in KDE 3.5? I am very confused now how gtk style setup occurs in KDE and I would like to understand it.

What is this package for and do we need it in KDE:KDE3? It seems it is now brocken for OpenSUSE 11.3 but also it seems no other package needs it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 11.2 - Firefox main menu has inverted colors
by Felix Miata 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Always before it was black text on almost white backtground. Now since last updating, its main menubar (File Edit View History Bookmarks etc.) is light text on dark background, which I hate. It happens in both the openSUSE 3.6.8 rpm version, and Mozilla.org's 4.0b4. Am I the only one this is happening to? How can I make it go away, looking like before, and like most other apps? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] Can't start KDE3 11.3
by Larry Stotler 02 Sep '10

02 Sep '10

Just installed 11.3 on a spare drive. Installed LXDM as the DE so that no KDE4 stuff would be installed. Went in and added KDE3. Now I can't log into it. I even started kdm from init 3 and it doesn't show kde3. Any ideas?
