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] Kmail update
by Ilya Chernykh 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi! Those of you who uses kmail will spot a net fancy indicator of sender's current time when viewing each message. This is a patch taken from Chakra project. You can disable the indicator through the KMail settings dialog. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Kmaij quiek
by Bob S 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

Hello KDE3 users. Running 11.3 with KDE3. Kmail version is 1.9.10 For the last week or so the Kmail message window has adopted a strange behavipor. The text message starts out with one or two words and the next few lines start in the middle of the page. then the process repeats itself until the end of the message. I checked the Kmail settings but I see no way to control that. It looks like it is putting line feeds or tabs. I have all the HTML turned off. Amyone else ever seen that ?

[opensuse-kde3] Xorg failure to load Radeon driver (X11 repo) fixed!
by David C. Rankin 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Guys, Just dropping a note here. The prior bug in the Xorg packages that caused X to fail to load the radeon driver were fixed under https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717172. (This applies if you used the X11/Xorg repo) This problem was introduced during the first week in Sept. -- David C.

Anton, thanks for you reply. Hmm... I'm using kdm, so I would expect the permissions to be handled automatically: 22:45 alchemy:~/tmp> ps ax | grep kdm 1458 ?

So this is new as of yesterday... <snip> > I've been having a LOT of problems with xorg packages or over a month now. > Yes, I recall your posts on it. There have been a whole lot of changes with radeon driver under bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678264 but that has been a huge improvement for the driver. I wonder if this may not be a kde3/kdm issue that got introduced on one of the latest rebuilds. I'll forward this to Ilya and see if he has any thoughts as well...
