[opensuse-kde3] system tray (systray) icons in two lines
by Istvan Gabor 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hello: I have installed openSUSE 12.1 64 bit with the latest KDE3 packages from KDE3 repo. For my pleasant surprise sftp works again. Thank for that, whoever made it. I also found that in the system tray the icons now are organized in two rows, which I don't like. They became two small to fit the height of the panel and also it is more difficult to distinguish and click them. Is it possible to set the system tray to show the icons only in one row?

[opensuse-kde3] amarok - replacement for deprecated tunepimp from musicbrainz?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Ilya, Serghei, If SuSE uses tunepimp for amarok, have you guys looked into a replacement? The tunepimp library that provided song/artist lookup from the musicbrainz RDF server is deprecated. See: http://musicbrainz.org/doc/History:libtunepimp/Download Amarok will build without it, but the lookup functionality won't be provided. I have run into a problem building the old version of tunepimp against the current libmp4v2. I am not certain this even impacts you, but I thought I would drop a note just in case. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] suse versions and kde3
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

I have been a suser since 8.something. and i loved kde-x up to and including kde3. i tried kde4 about a dozen times or so, every single time i could not stomach more than an hour of it. I stayed with 11.1 and kde3 for the longest time, my desktop still has a fully operational partition with it, but, after i found out that i could start with a simple x setup and then add kde3, i tried suse 11.4,12.1 and 12.2 up to m3. i used 12.1 for about 6 months as the main system, but kmail stopped working for me and my digital camera could not be read and the "my computer" icon on the desktop had changed to "storage media" and a number of other smaller nuances eventually convinced me to go back to 11.4, both on the laptop and the desktop. I knew the wifi on the laptop would be a little difficult, but after half a day of trying i got the broadcom wl driver all figured out, and , thanks to wicd my wifi has been proven more reliable and more capable than any windoze or mac setup. and everything works on both the laptop and the desktop, now both with 11.4 as the main os, the *only* os on the laptop. so there is a definite divide between 12.x suse and anything previous. and kde3 seems to be less capable in anything 12.x. don't know if it is just hal, but hal is definitely a problem spot. but yesterday i did the latest kde3 upgrade on the desktop. Three *new* things came up: 1. the haldaemon was *not* started automatically. 2. The video (latest nvidia driver for the 11.4 repo) started acting up once in a while. 3. The "my computer" icon on the desktop was renamed to "storage media" , clicking on it brings up the /media folder. I was able to restart the haldaemon and it survived a reboot, but items 2 and 3 are still bugging my 11.4 desktop. The laptop does not have *any* problems. can someone please suggest which kde3 module(s) should be rolled back in order to resolve issues 2 && 3, or at least issue 3? 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

Hi, Serghei! Did you try to port kjs (javascript) from KDE4? I submitted to you a non-finished patch did you try it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] gcc 4.7.1 SOLVES infinite loop leading to kwrite line-wrap crash in tde
by David C. Rankin 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Ilya,all Just a note. The kwrite/kate crash on line-wrap experienced in trinity when built from gcc 4.7.0-x are fixed with the release of gcc 4.7.1. If you have experienced similar issues in 3.5.10 when building on 4.7.0, there is a good chance issues will disappear when built on 4.7.1. Keep up the great work! -- David C.

kde3-kbibtex is uninstallable with yast/zypper since its own name is written in the Conflicts of the package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-kde3] My Experience Using 12.2 Beta 1
by Erik Sorenson 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

A follow up. I re-installed 12.2b1 (again to a live, not VM, partition) but this time used Grub1 instead of Grub2, and used sysvinit-init instead of systemd-sysinit. Just to see if it made a difference. It really didn't. I used the Factory KDE:KDE3 and HAL-enabled libraries. 1. Without including HAL-enabled repository, the desktop "Storage Media" icon worked properly, and insertion of a USB Thumb Drive and/or CD/DVD brought up the regular "what do you want to do" KDE query, and K3b could do it's magic. With HAL-enabled repo enabled and haldaemond active (incl a re-boot), neither the Storage Media icon nor device insertion works properly, nor (obviously) K3b. The first only shows the current root drive, and no KDE query arises from device insertion. 2. Kwrite and Kate fire up in both situations (HAL-enabled repo and daemon activated or not), but immediately freeze and must be terminated ... completely useless. Beaver, which I installed to test, works fine in both situations. 3. I can't get the ATI proprietary fglrx driver to install ... I suspect it's the newness of the kernel. 4. Ilya, is there any way to retrofit KDE4's version of Krandr to 3.5? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] serious data corruption in kmail 1.9.10, kde 3.5.10, 64 bit suse 11.4
by kanenas 06 Jun '12

This is a resend, don't know if the previous email made it to the list as it was sent from another account of mine , i apologize in advance if it's a duplicate. .................... this is on 11.4 -x86-64 w. kde 3.5.10 kmail pulls the messages from a roadrunner pop server, leaves the messages on the server. since there are 5 sub accounts, i have a bunch of filters that direct shtuff to various folders locally. but some shtuff stays in the "inbox". and half hour ago, i got my first major problem with kmail 1.9 in a suse lesser than 12.1 whatever message I click on in my "inbox" folder turns into a blank and sender is switched to "unknown". never seen it before. googling brought up bug 50039, all the way back to 2006, is it really deja vu all over again? d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] knetworkmanager
by Michael Lashkevich 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I have tried again the knetworkmanager (I was using the nm-applet for some time due to memory leakage of the knetworkmanager) and found that, beside the memory leakage, which is still present (the knetworkmanager allocates more and more memory every time it connects to a network and releases it very seldom), there are some more diseases. First, it does not change the system dock icon when the network cable is unplugged. It only do it when the computer has been hibernated/resumed or after it has found a new network and tries to connect. Second, no notifications (either visual or sound) appear, as if it would not communicate events to the knotify.
