[opensuse-kde3] Firefox won't use Okular
by Robert Smits 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I've got OpenSuSe 11.3 with KDE 3 running on a Lenovo T61. Whenever I click on a pdf file when I'm in Firefox the only options are to save it or use GIMP. I've set the file association for pdf applications to Okular and in Firefox I tried to set the association to okular but all it sees is GIMP. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? -- Robert Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

[opensuse-kde3] Trinity and OpenSuse KDE3?
by Robert Smits 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello. I'm happily running KDE3 on all my desktops and laptops now without any problems. I'm very grateful to Illya and all the others who have maintained our ability to use KDE3 on our computers. Can anyone tell me if it is expected that the OpenSuse KDE3 repos will be updated with material from the Trinity project? (I'm not suggesting you have lots of spare time to do this, btw :-)) Second, is there anywhere that someone like me, who isn't a programmer, can make a donation to the OpenSuse KDE3 project? Are there other things we can do to assist? Thanks again. -- Robert Smits bob(a)rsmits.ca I admire him, I frankly confess it; and when his time comes I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

[opensuse-kde3] KDE3PIM much faster with binary file instead of vcf
by Robert Smits 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

I inadvertently made a discovery with my kde3 version of kdepim. I used to be somewhat concerned about the time it took to load my addressbook, since it has more than 1800 names in it, and loading this slowed down the opening of kontact considerably. By creating a new addressbook as a file, binary type, and then importing all my contacts to it, opening kontact is virtually instantaneous. What a difference!

[opensuse-kde3] kmail probs in 12.1
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

did a fresh install of 12.1. started with kde4, added the kde3 repo, clicked in the kde3 pattern, added a few more files, things seem just fine.ok, browsing is fine, multimedia is fine, system seems very crispy, adding 32bit hal did the trick for a few things, still can not get to pring to mu usb printer thru the host in virtualbox but can if i allow direct access to it from a vm, libreoffice comes up and seems to work fine, lifer seems fine! time to move kmail. copied the Mail folder from the old home directory, used conqueror as a super user, then changed all the permissions to the correct user. Copied the kmailrc file to the right spot, also the kmail folder from the old .~kde/share/apps location. Things seem to workat first. even the addressbook seems fine; alas, they work too good. The longer kmail stays open, the more duplicate emails i get! some i get more often than others! At this stage i am very reluctant to set the flag to "remove the messages from the server", first need to find out what part of kmail i broke. the setup is reasonably simple. The isp is roadrunner, they run windoze pop servers. my account has a total of 5 sub accounts. i have no local servers installed, just the default setup. the emails are saved in maildir format. The steps described above have worked for many many transitions in the past any suggestions where to look ? I would hate to go to kmail for kde4 or switch to anything else, it would be too traumatic for my honi. soo, any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance,, 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] kontact & kmail crash in 11.4
by David C. Rankin 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Ilya, I haven't used kmail in 11.4, but needed to configure it and did. However, sending mail in kmail or using kontact causes both to crash. The crash reports I received are as follows: I will probably need to load the debug packages to make them useful, but this is what I have so far: System configuration startup check disabled.

[opensuse-kde3] mouse pointer stuck on tiny
by Felix Miata 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I'm trying to configure Bob S's system after installing 12.1. His vision has gotten too bad to do initial installation himself any more. I've been looking all over both KDE3 and Gnome for a way to get big mouse pointers, and am having no luck. KControl->Peripherals->Mouse is void of anything to do with sizes. I've tried alternate themes, including *accessible*, but all seem stuck with the standard little mouse pointer and hand that are smaller than a dried up lentil at high DPI. Any ideas? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

[opensuse-kde3] sound and shutdown on 12.1
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

ok, one more 12.1 question. kde3 was installed on top of kde4. everything seems to work, except sound and there is no suspend option on the logout menu, that is no suspend to ram and no suspend to disk. everything works w. kde4, so the hardware is fine, what packages do i need to look closer at? is the suspend problem due to the lack of the correct kdebase3? shutdown is installed. 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] memory leak of knetworkmanager?
by Michael Lashkevich 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I have just noticed that there is something strange with the knetworkmanager-kde3 (on openSUSE 11.4 with the i586 architecture). I shut down my computer very seldom, usually I only hibernate and resume it for weeks, so that the processes it runs have tens or hundreds hours of cumulate time. Just now I noticed by means of "top" that knetworkmanager became the main memory consumer of the computer: 154 MB of resident memory (more than firefox!). Then I restarted the knetworkmanager, and now it again consumes about 10 MB, as usual. Maybe there is some memory leak? By the way, knetworkmanager crashes sporadically (once a month?).

[opensuse-kde3] kmail imap issues with 12.1
by Hans-Peter Jansen 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hi, I'm having a hard time accessing my imap accounts from a cyrus server with kmail3 from KDE:KDE3 after upgrading to 12.1/x86_64. On access of certain folders (even after removing folder and .folder* somewhere below ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.account.directory), either the download simply stops progressing, kio_imap4 occupies one core for hours until quitting kmail, or the the download is interrupted and kmail shows a nice but useless dialog about an unexpected transfer interuption caused from some programming error.. Before complaining here, I tested different crypto settings, and checked, if any patches made into kdepim3 lately, that might be responsible, but appart from some clean up/build adjustments from Ilya, nothing stands out. The senders current time indicator patch looks innocent. The folders are perfectly accessible from other openSUSE installations, e.g. 11.1 and 11.4, all with KDE:KDE3, but this is my first serious x86_64 installation attempt. Hence I guess, it's either * a gcc issue (although a gcc 4.3 build is forced, as kdepim3 isn't buildable with 4.6) * a 64 bit (protocol?) issue * some kernel behavioral change (locking, network stack) All ideas/confirmations welcome.
