[opensuse-kde3] Missing writing accents
by Helga Fischer 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hello List, how can I get back the ability writing accents on my KDE3-desktop? My System is openSUSE 13.1 with KDE3 (3.5.10 release 262) from inofficial Suse-repos. I'm using the keyboard layout with dead keys. Under KDE4 all applications can work with accents. Under KDE3 there is no application writing accents. Writing accents is active (kcontrol). Any hints (or is this behaviour a bug)?. Thanks, Helga -- ## Technik: [http://de.opensuse.org] ## Privat: [http://www.eschkitai.de] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] konqueror - file association - how make x-shellscript display in embedded viewer like group 'text'?
by David C. Rankin 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

All, One quirk I have always wanted to fix is that konqueror (--profile filemanagment) treats BASH scripts as type `x-shellscript` instead of plain text. What this does is makes it impossible to tell konqueror to just display the script in the preview pane with the `Embedded Advanced Text Editor (katepart)` like you can with normal text files. This may be easy to do and I just haven't figured it out, but how do you do it? When you (right-click) edit the properties for a file.sh, the problem (looks like a bug) is that when you tell it to `Show file in embedded viewer` -- it doesn't. (I don't know what it does, I presume it tries to run the file) Another problem when you edit the properties for file.sh, the [Embedding] tab offers the `Left Click Action` to `Use settings for 'application' group` instead of the 'text' group. For some reason this prevents being able to display the file. How do you tell konqueror to just display the script in the embedded viewer? -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] 13.1 kde3-networkmanager - does not read connections in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
by David C. Rankin 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Ilya, I'm using network manager in 13.1, so I attempted to load the kde3 network-manager package. While the balloon-tip shown the correct essid I'm connected to, it does not list any connections in the connections list. I've checked in gnome nm-connection-editor and it properly lists all connection in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. Does the kde3 app need updating? -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] What does it take to update 'Ark' to handle 'xz' compression
by David C. Rankin 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Ilya, Do you know where/what it would take to update 'Ark' to handle 'xz' compression? Over time I have more and more .xz files and the Ark plugin for konqueror doesn't recognize them. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Why do some ~/.kde/share/config files have strange names? clock_panelapplet_p8zrir8wmxvy1grivcys_rc
by David C. Rankin 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Ilya, I have notices some of the ~/.kde/share/config files have really strange names in 13.1. For example: clock_panelapplet_p8zrir8wmxvy1grivcys_rc launcher_panelapplet_f5wollqrwph6smr1ihby_rc I don't know if this is the reason kicker blew-up on first start, but I've never seen the weird suffixes _p8zrir... _f5woll... before in all my years with kde3 or in tde development. Any idea why this is happening? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] 11.4 -> 13.1 update - good job Ilya/All
by David C. Rankin 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Ilya/All, I updated my laptop from 11.4 to 13.1. As part of the update, I moved my 11.4 ~/home, including ~/.config and ~/.kde dir from 11.4->13.1 before launching kde. For the most part, it went OK. There were only two issues that were noteworthy: 1 - kicker got completely scrambled leaving only the quicklaunch icons in kicker. The menu, the taskbar, the desktop page, systray and the clock were all blown away for some reason. Has anyone else experienced this or have an explanation why this could occur? Simple enough to fix, but just strange it happened. 2 - All desktop icons are gone. Generally I only show [trash], [home], and [system] on the desktop. These are gone. I can't find anywhere in kcontrol to bring them back. I recall just checking the ones I wanted and unchecking the ones I don't, but I can't find that module in kcontrol. Am I missing a module? Additionally, during install, there were several packages that I had to install 2-3 times before they actually installed. I would check the package for installation in YAST, the install would complete, I would check again, and no package was installed. It was like somehow YAST lost packages in its installer list. Dunno, strange, that was the first time I've experienced something like that since SuSE 7. (it was not just kde3 packages, but other repos as well) This brings up another observation: So many sub-packages makes kde3 difficult to install on openSuSE. It might be worth a review to see if it makes sense to just build the normal packages without so many subpackages. It would be a lot easier to install if the primary packages were: kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils kdevelop kdewebdev Leaving all the applications as separate packages. Even many of the apps are split into multiple subpackages (e.g. koffice, etc..) Regardless of whether any of the packages are shuffled around, I just wanted to drop a line and say: GOOD JOB WITH KDE3 ON 13.1 ILYA! (and the rest of the contributors). P.S. - Why is there no way to install KDE3 during initial install? I mean you can install LXDE, icewm, XFCE, minimum X, KDE or Gnome, but not KDE3?? I know this was a political issue in the 11.0 days, but now that we have a reasonably supported KDE3, why can't it be added to the installer? I mean if we offer LXDE on install, why the hell not KDE3? Haven't we grown up since the political KDE4 or nothing days of 11.X? Who would need to make the call in opensuse? -- David C.
