[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!

Hello: openSUSE 12.3 with KDE3 hal-enabled kdebase3 packages. When I plug in an USB stick, nothing happenes on the desktop, no notifier, no automounting. dmesg indicates the medium is recognized: [ 728.028033] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci_hcd ..

Hello: As I could not make HAL work on my openSUSE 12.3 system, I went back to openSUSE 12.2. In openSUSE 12.2 KDE3 works with HAL: both sysinfo and auto-mount works. There is one issue, however. If two users log in at two desktops on the same console (eg User1 on vt7 and User2 on vt8), the permissions granted to the automatically mounted devices are seem to be incorrect. An example: User1 logs in at vt7, and plugs in a USB stick. He can unmount and safely remount it. If in the meantime User2 logs in at vt8, User1 can not unmount or safely remove the USB device anymore. But User2 can unmount and safely remove the device. This behavior should be the opposite, or at least both users should be able to unmount or remove the device. How can this be set? Probably there is some configuration option somewhere.

[opensuse-kde3] Larger fonts in openSUSE 12.3 than openSUSE 11.3
by Gianluca Interlandi 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Hi! I noticed that fonts appear larger in openSUSE 12.3 (and possibly all openSUSE 12.x) than in openSUSE 11.x, in particular for GTK and QT based applications. For example, it does not affect fonts in the konsole terminal itself (like misc-fixed) but it affects fonts in the menus. I have selected exactly the same fonts and font size in the kcontrol center (incl. those for GTK applications) as in my openSUSE 11.3 installations, but for some reason in openSUSE 12.3 most fonts appear slightly larger. Just wondering if anybody has noticed the same and knows a trick to revert to openSUSE 11.x font rendering?

[opensuse-kde3] Wifi for newby
by Patrick Serru 19 Nov '13

19 Nov '13

Hello All, I'm going on a trip and will use a labtop. I never used labtop! It is a "Compaq Presario C700". I installed Oss 12.2 + OneClick KDE3 on a USB hard disk: wonderfull!. This is what I use (with a lot of fun!) on my desktop. I have problems with WiFi. But I probably did install the necessary because I "see" packets "passing" with knemo. But when I try the connection to a site, Firefox says it can not find its address. Yet I configure DNS server addresses! Otherwise, when I connect the computer via Ethernet (RJ45 cable +), everything works fine. I have only a few hours for a successful connection. I await your advice to use "public" connections… Thank you.

[opensuse-kde3] multiple monitors/displays confusion
by Istvan Gabor 16 Nov '13

16 Nov '13

Hello: I have a fresh installation of openSUSE 12.3 with KDE3 hal-enabled: kdebase3-3.5.10.1-374.1.x86_6 I also have nvidia drivers from nvidia repo: nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-desktop-304.88_k3.7.10_1.1-25.1.x86_64 nvidia-computeG02-304.88-26.1.x86_64 x11-video-nvidiaG02-304.88-26.1.x86_64 My screen size is 1600x1200 which works. But when I start configuring desktop, 1. In the backround menu I see: Setting for desktop: "All desktops"-pulldown "Across all screens"-pulldown The "Across all screens"-pulldown options are: Across all screens, On each screen, Screen 1, Screen 2. Why do I have different screens, where do they come from? I've never seen this before. 2. In the Display Setting menu: There is a tab "Multiple Monitors". This shows two displays, and tickboxes for multiple Monitor support. Is this a new feature? Even if I untick all, I can push my application windows to the right or down, off the screen, but I can't switch to that part of the screen. Is there a decription of these features and of how to configure/use them? I am confused.

[opensuse-kde3] failed to store sound card state
by Felix Miata 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

13.1/KDM3 This message repeats after long delay after initiating reboot, getting tired of waiting, then holding down CAD. Reboot should reboot, not diddle around waiting on systemd to do unnecessary things. System state was multiuser, not graphical. Shutdown and reboot commands in kdmrc are correctly set to use shutdown, and not halt or reboot. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
