[opensuse-kde3] openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 and KDE4 applications
by Gianluca Interlandi 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi! I am about to install openSUSE 12.1 on a laptop. I want to use it mainly (or entirely) with the KDE3 desktop but I still want to be able to run KDE4 applications under KDE3. In the past, I have done this with openSUSE 11.3 and 11.4. During installation of 11.3 and 11.4, I selected KDE4 as the default desktop. Then I added the KDE:KDE3 repository and installed all the packages to properly run KDE3 following more or less the recommendations given here: HOW-TO: KDE 3.5 on 11.4 This has worked perfectly and I was even able to use the oxygen theme in KDE3. For example, okular and vlc came with the nice oxygen theme even when running under KDE3. My question is: Is this procedure going to work also with openSUSE 12.1 or is there anything in particular I have to pay attention to? Thanks!

[opensuse-kde3] is KDE3 vector compatible ?

[opensuse-kde3] 12.1_32/KDE3.5 - DVD+R/W Disk not recognised by KDE
by Erik Sorenson 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

Had an .iso download that I wanted to burn to a DVD. Used a RW disk that had been previously recorded ... not recognised in KDE (i.e., no "what do you want to do" prompt). Booted Win7, ran imgburn and did a FULL erase/format on this disk and two others. Then rebooted and in opensuse 12.1_32/kde3.5 none of these disks was recognised by KDE 3.5. This is my production install which uses haldaemond, the HAL-enabled KDE repo, and which generally reads all other dvds I use. I booted into Mint13/XFCE that I have installed, and each of the disks is readable/mounted properly there. Obviously Win7 also recognises them. Going back into Win7 and running an info applet from DVDINFOPRO on the disk I got: Media Information Current Drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7240S (E:) Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO Media code/Manufacturer ID SONY S11 Media code/Manufacturer ID SONY S11 Format Capacity 4.38GB(4.70GB) Book Type DVD+RW Media Type DVD+RW Manufacturer Rated Speed 4.0x 5540KBps Available Write Descriptor CLV 4.0x 5540KBps BG Format Status Completed Data area starting sector 30000h Data area end sector 23053Fh Linear Density 0.267um/bit Track Density 0.74um/track Number of Layers 1 Complete Media Code 00000000 08 02 00 00 92 0F 04 00 00 03 00 00 00 26 05 3F .............&.? 00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 53 4F 4E 59 00 00 00 00 53 .......SONY....S 00000020 31 31 00 39 23 00 B4 72 68 02 24 00 AE 75 58 02 11.9#..rh.$..uX. 00000030 28 00 B2 73 62 02 24 04 12 10 E0 10 F0 00 00 00 (..sb.$......... When the disk is inserted in my 12.1/kde3 install, no entries are placed in the /var/log/messages file.

Combined with this problem I registered on the KDE3 user list: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde3/2012-07/msg00004.html and this on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771552 leads me to believe that there is a fundamental flaw in KDE 3.5 recognising certain types of iso9660 formats on cd's, dvd's and on usb flash/thumb drives. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] knetwork manager does not add new wireless networks correctly
by Michael Lashkevich 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

Knetwork manager is able to connect the known wireless connections, but it is absolutely impossible to add a new connection. I have tried to add new WPA connections, but as well as I understand, it did not write the password correctly. The connection failed. When I tried to edit the connection the password became different from that I had inserted initially. So I needed remove the connection and to use nm-applet to add it again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] How to compile KDE3 ?

Have you got a script to compile KDE3 in one pass, 1 command ? On documentation I have found, there is most of the time : "For each KDE package"... http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Historic/KDE_3.5 People here might have one script for compiling all.

[opensuse-kde3] Confirm kwrite update window when Remove spaces on save option set
by David C. Rankin 09 Aug '12

09 Aug '12

All, I have noticed that kwrite does not behave as expected when Settings -> Configure Editor -> Open/Save -> [x] 'Remove trailing spaces' is set. When set, trailing spaces ARE removed on 'save' (from the file saved to disk), but the current editor window is NOT updated to show the removal (the spaces are still present in what you are looking at on the screen). If you close the current file and reopen it (or F5 - Reload), then the removed spaces disappear, but there is nothing that automates or forces a reload to update the current window. The help says 'The editor will automatically eliminate extra spaces at the ends of lines of text while loading/saving the file.' That indicates to me that spaces will be removed on either load or save, and to me, that implies the change should be apparent to the user. However, the spaces are only removed from what is written to disk without updating the display (current line buffers - I guess...) If current behavior is correct, then I think the setting dialog should read: [x] Remove trailing spaces on save - Reload (F5) to update current window and the shift+f1 help should read: 'The editor will automatically eliminate trailing spaces (extra spaces at the ends of lines of text) while saving the file to disk. A reload (F5) is required to update the current editor window.' An alternative would be to force a reload after a save, but I do not like the distraction of the flicker caused by the re-display of the text during reload. I think that is probably why it was coded this way to begin with -- to eliminate the flash on save caused by the redisplay. My vote is to simply update the option and the 'Shift+F1' help to make it clear that spaces are only removed from what is written to disk and are not removed from the current editor window. Thoughts? (this would go in the feature requests priority box :) Not a big deal, but before I forgot about it, I thought I would post it. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] 11.4 knemo Traffic Plotter, causes Xorg to take 100% CPU
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '12

Ilya, All, I ran knemo traffic plotter today on 11.4 and Xorg CPU use jumped to 100% and the box was dragged down to a crawl. (radeonhd driver) Can anyone else verify this behavior? This is new. It worked fine a month or two ago. I can't figure out what happened. It is repeatable on my box. Just start top and then start the traffic plotter and watch Xorg go to 100%. Close traffic plotter and the problem goes away -- strange... -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] How do I setup Display Manager and Window Manager to allow switching KDE3 and KDE4?
by Robert Smits 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

As we've all learned form those marvellous Install KDE3.5 tutorials, it's easy to set up display manager and windows manger to get my OpenSuse12.1 KDE3 install to boot to the kDE3 desktop. I'd like to be able to switch between the two desktops, though. I seem to remember older OpenSuse desktops that would let you choose which desktop booted from a application you clicked on in the boot process. Can anyone describe what settings I need in display manager and window manager to do this? Is it still feasible? -- Bob Smits <bob(a)rsmits.ca> "Microsoft is not the answer.
