[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] kmail

sooo, it has been a while since I asked this question: is it possible to use kde3 kmail in suse12.xx, without kmail constantly losing track of previously downloaded mail from the server? this has been my experience with *every* installation I have tried to date ; this has forced me to other mail readers, but i still like the old kmail... thanks, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Yast backup
by Patrick Serru 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

Hello all, A long time ago, I tryed to use Yast backup, and gaveup (Oss 10.3 ?). Installation of additionnal packages looks giving unstability that I can not repeare my self an other way than reinstalling (! meaning one day lost). So, I decided to use Yast backup before any new package installation. I created 1 profile where all the files are but /home. I got a 2.1 Go archive that looks correct in size, but that konqueror can not open! Today I added an other profile with only /home inside. But the backup was done very fast! I check the file size: 90 Ko! My /home directory is about 20 Go. Can some one tell about his experience, explain or tell me where I can find user's documentation for this software, please? Cheers, 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] kmail-workaround thru gmail
by Dimitris Economou 21 Jul '13

one of the proposals i considered as a solution to my kmail problem was gmail. so i opened up a gmail account, fed all of my existing accounts to it and it worked. But I hate the interface, the layout, the gui, i hate everything except the functionality! so i decided to keep gmail, BUT, i tried my tired old kde3 kmail as a front end to it. it only required me to delete my old accounts, then i added my google account, played with the firewall to allow ports 995,465 and 587 thru, and VOILA, my kde3-kmail works just fine again, in suse 12.3!!!! It seems that gmail is a little kinder to mail clients than roadrunner, whatever weakness the uidl handshake had with roadrunner is no more, so all is well again in kde3 land:) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

I just did a minimal X installation of 13.1M3, then used zypper to add KDE3 & KDM3. In KDM, mouse and keyboard work. Once logged in, both do not. What could be getting disconnected logging in?
