[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] 11.2: KNotify crash on every login
by Felix Miata 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

I use KDE3 on 32 bit 11.2. I just did zypper dup yet again, which seems required more than weekly for many weeks now. Every login is accompanied by the login sound being cut short, and the KNotify window opening and reporting useless backtrace & "system configuration startup check disabled". What needs to be done to make this not happen any more? http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xsession-errors is fresh on this young login only. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde3] usb headset
by Bob S 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hello SuSE people, Bought me a nice new Logitech H530 usb headset andc plugged it in. Doesn't "just work". Opened Yast > Sound. Yast saw it, configured it and played a test sound. Nada, Won't work in any app including system sounds, Alsaconf made things worse by shutting down my sound chip and I had to reconfigure it. Google was no help. Does this need a kernel module ? a driver? Can't figure out how to make this thing work, neither in KDE3 nor KDE4, Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

[opensuse-kde3] Compiz
by Ilya Chernykh 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Compiz is now working well with KDE3. Compiz with KDE3 windows decorator enabled is added to KDE3 repository. It has the same version as Compiz in OpenSUSE 11.3 so under this release you only have to install compiz-kde3 package in addition to the compiz from the main repo. The settings will be the same under KDE3, Gnome and KDE4. To easily enable and manage Compiz I suggest to install fusion-icon package which is available in private repos in OBS. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 11.4 note - Trinity will not build with gcc >= 4.5
by David C. Rankin 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Ilya, All, The Trinity source will not build with gcc >= 4.5. See: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47723 The open question is whether it is gcc or Trinity that needs to be fixed. I don't know which gcc 11.4 will use, but keep this in mind if it has 4.5 or later. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] 11.3-11.4 Trinity OBS - wiki/notes anywhere?
by David C. Rankin 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Robert, All I was looking over the OBS project at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Abravoall1552%3Atrini… and wondered if there was a wiki or set of notes squirreled away that show what had worked and what hadn't as far as the 11.3 and Factory builds? Right now I don't have an an opensuse box for building, but when 11.4 is released, I'll dump an 11.0 install and replace it with 11.4 or just setup a new VirtualBox install of 11.4 for building. Robert, do you have a public set of specs for the trinity packages that I could get w/o having to go to each page of the OBS project and download them? (it's easy enough to do, but if you have a ../specs directory somewhere, that would be easiest) What I've done with Arch is just to collect all the PKGBUILDs (the Arch spec file equivalent) into a single dir as a working copy for development. e.g.: 18:50 alchemy:~/arch/tnotes> ls -1 pkgbuild/ meta svn PKGBUILD-arts PKGBUILD-dbus-qt3 PKGBUILD-kdeaccessibility PKGBUILD-kdebase PKGBUILD-kdebindings PKGBUILD-kdelibs PKGBUILD-pykde3 PKGBUILD-pyqt3 PKGBUILD-qt3-trinity PKGBUILD-tqtinterface Do you have anything like that (spec-<module>? It will take me a week or so to shift gears from pkgbuild to rpm and get back up to speed on the spec format, but I figure if we can get Trinity building on at least one of the two distros I use (SuSE/Arch), then we can probably figure out how to get it going on the other. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Taskbar bug
by Ilya Chernykh 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

This is [url]http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=406411[/url] a personal commit by Aaron Seigo after which the buttons on the taskbar in KDE 3.4 ceased to be visually pushed, when using the Classic mode. The key line in file kicker/taskbar/taskcontainer.cpp before: style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(), height()), colors, sunken ? QStyle::Style_Down : QStyle::Style_Raised); after: style().drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_HeaderSection, p, QRect(0, 0, width(), height()), colors) After reverting this change and restoring the removed parameter to the function the taskbar works well again. The fixed packages will be available in KDE:KDE3 repository as soon as the repo rebuilds. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org
