[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!

the laptop is a Lenovo T61, with an Intel video card. The Os is Suse 11.4, installed with a minimal X initially, then added in the latest kde 3.5.

[opensuse-kde3] Overlapping windows disaster
by I Gay 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

Something has happened recently to my 11.4/KDE3 system, which causes all windows to open exactly on top of the previously- opened window. Yuk! I created a new user, and the problem does not occur for that user, so it must be corruption in one of my kde configuration files. But which? Nothing looks odd in .kde/share/config/kwinrc which would seem the most likely candidate. Any ideas?

[opensuse-kde3] From Oss_10.3 to Oss_12.2
by Patrick Serru 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

Hello all, I'm currently using OpenSuse 11.1 + KDE3 relatively recently installed through a CD. This is because nothing worked after Oss 10.3. Now I know I was not alone and tens of thousands of workstations have migrated from OpenSuse+KDE3 to Ubuntu+Trinity. As I would like to continue using OpenSuse, I tried again to install 12.1, but it did not work long: I can not use my 1280x1024 screen other than in 1024x768 mode (RV350AP [Radeon9600]). I did not insist because the release of version 12.2 was close. What do you recommend for proper installation of Oss12.2 + KDE3: - XFE install followed by a use of "1-click install" button, in page http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3? - Is it possible to do that from a console, without graphical browser? I'm currently downloading the openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso. Would'nt a Live CD be sufficient (as in the case of the 11.1 that I'm currently using)? I'm sorry about that, but I was traumatized by KDE4. This makes me wonder if a guarantee of perenity for me could be to download all the source files of the project KDE3/QT. Could you tell me if this is realistic and how to do it please? thank you Patrick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] suse 10.3 with KDE 3.5.1
by Miller, Greg 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hello, I'm stuck with suse 10.3 at work. However, I'd like to upgrade my KDE from 3.5.1 to latest that will work. Is there any way to install 3.5.latest in my home directory? I'm not seeing anything on opensuse.org for my older suse release. And having trouble finding the repositories. Is this something that's even possible?

[opensuse-kde3] 12.2_32bit & KDE3.5 - Not Powering Off
by Erik Sorenson 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Using final versions and repos, choosing "turn off computer" will hang indefinately just before the (usual) final stage of powering down. If I use sysvinit as a test, it powers down properly. I know that this was a problem with systemd previously, with the suggestion of using sysvinit temporarily as a work-around, but I don't see any mention in the forums now of this happening in the final 12.2. Is it possible it only happens with KDE 3.5? Is a work-around, other than sysvinit, known? Everything else seems to be working properly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] standard repos vs. KDE:KDE3
by Felix Miata 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

Until a recent thread I had no idea I didn't have to enable KDE3:KDE3 in order to have KDE3 in release-latest (aka 12.2). Today I did a fresh 12.2 install minimal, then tried to add KDE3. However, zypper se kcm produces no kde3-kcm_gtk without enabling the KDE3:KDE3 repo. Why? What other KDE3 packages require enabling the KDE3:KDE3 repo? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

No, the official KDE:KDE3 repo for 12.2 has the shutdown problem in kdmrc. I have not tried the version from the repo that you quoted, but will take your word that it works. If http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/12.2/standard/i586/ contains more recent, production-use versions of KDE3 code, and you thought that everyone is using it, then perhaps this is the issue. I was not aware of this repo, it is not selectable from Yast, nor have I seen it mentioned anywhere. Do you intend to update KDE:KDE3 with these changes? Should everyone using KDE3 also add your new repo and select the newest from whatever has it? Or should use of KDE:KDE3 be dropped?

The POP3 ioslave used by KMail 1.9 is in the KDE3 package kdebase3-runtime, so it won't be affected by KDE 4. I think the posting you remember (although I don't recall a specific one myself) would have referred to the Akonadi migrator enabled with KDE 4.6, which disabled old kresource API based addressbook and contact resources as they were migrated to Akonadi resources. However, POP3 access before Akonadi used ioslaves, not kresources, so this migration did not affect it. You can use the following technique to see if kdeinit complains when the slave fails to start. You don't need to go as far as attaching gdb, since it appears the slave process just dies. http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Debugging_IOSlaves NB use "pop3" as the ioslave to watch, and the example instructions refer to KDE 4, so s/kdeinit4/kdeinit/. Please follow up on the kde3 list though, they may have more suggestions.
