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?
Thanks,
Istvan

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.

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.

Hi, Serghei!
Did you try to port kjs (javascript) from KDE4?
I submitted to you a non-finished patch did you try it?

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!

kde3-kbibtex is uninstallable with yast/zypper since its own name is written in the Conflicts of the package.

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?

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?

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.
