I'm on my 11.4/kde3 laptop right … [View More]now - still no kpowersave battery icon in the tray. Clicking on kmenu -> System -> Desktop -> kpowersave launches and restores the icon to systray. The "battery meter" is working, but looks like it needs to configure itself again to know the proper time left. I think that will happen automatically during the first batter cycle. I needed to configure kpowersave to start on login again. Configure kpowersave -> General Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Autostart [X] KPowersave starts automatically on login. Looks like Ilya worked a bit more magic and got it working again. Great job Ilya. I don't know if this is the old kpowersave or if this is upower with the kpowersave interface on it -- can you fill us in Ilya? Regardless, it seems to be working again.

[opensuse-kde3] duplicate messages in kmail 1.9
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Still trying to find why on my desktop kmail forgets what it has allready downloaded from the isp mail server (roadrunner, with a windoze pop server) and (re) fetches all that is stored there, almost all the time, on all or on some of the sub accounts i have there!!!! This happens on two different installs of 12.1, the first with both kde4 and kde3 installs, the second with kde3 only. For a while I thought the problem was solved with a different build of kdepim3, that was temporary. To … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] KDE:KDE2
by Zoran Korveziroski 28 Dec '11

28 Dec '11

Ilya thanks for KDE:KDE3. Great job. Recently I have tried http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/KDE-Two-Li… very interesting. I'm great fan and user of minimal Linux. IceWM and Openbox are great, but KDE 2.2.2 is full Desktop environment and is amazing fast. What do you think about KDE:KDE2 (I'm serious). For the begining is enough KDE 2.2.2 adapted on OpenSUSE 12.1 with fresh look. Konqueror is not a problem. Today we have a heap good WEB browsers. Suggestion for … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] USB camera problem on 12.1
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

just tried to connect my new camera to 12.1. The camera was not detected on the desktop. switched to suse 11.1, the camera was visible immediately. went back to 12.1, installed hal, made sure hal was running, nothing happened. Tried on the laptop, with kde3 the same problem. switched to kde4, the camera was visible. so kde3 in some way fails to announce the camera when it is plugged in. interestingly, with and without hal, under kde3 the camera was visible in a virtualbox windows vm! as a … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] Switching keyboard layouts
by Mark Goldstein 25 Dec '11

25 Dec '11

Hi, I'm a bit embarrassed, since I've been through this before and thought it was resolved. I'm using a number of KB layouts. For quite a long time I could not manage to get KDE3 switching my layouts (not sure which versions, it was even before SuSE turned to openSUSE :-) ). I always used SaX2 to configure layouts (in xorg.conf) and it worked. Then Sax2 was dropped (in oS 11.3?) and I tried KDE3 mechanism again (using Personal Settings -> Regional -> Keyboard Layouts) and suddenly … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/printers.desktop ... is an invalid MIME type
by Felix Miata 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Every 'zypper up MozillaFirefox-3.6....' results in Error in file "/opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/printers.desktop": "print/manager" is an invalid MIME type ("print" is an unregistered media type) Can this be fixed somehow? Again today I can't print from any of my installed Mozilla apps, even after CUPS restart, and rebooting. Other than YaST2 test page, which succeeds, I've not tried other apps in order to prevent more paper waste, and since I rarely print anything from anything else … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] multimedia players hang 12.1
by Bob S 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hello SuSE people, I am running a new install of 12.1 with KDE3. If I run a media player like mplayer or vlc it hangs the OS. Completely unresposnsive. I have to power the sytem off. This does not happen with 11.3 and KDE3. Has to be something in 12.1. Any ideas?
