[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] New NetworkManager client

Hi KDE3 fans, Some time ago I started a new implementation for NM client (my version will be integrated into kcontrol). A screenshot attached. I hope I will have some spare time to finish it someday. -- Serghei

None -- that is where I'm stuck with Arch. TDE has the same manpower problems we do here.

Ilya, The kneworkmanager app started to run-away with 100% of CPU again.

If suse kde3 is build NOHAL, then there is something that needs fixing. Also, as asked numerous times, where are bugs supposed to be reported? I have reported a half-dozen or so here to the list, but I really feel they need to go to some tracker associated with whoever is building kde3 for opensuse. These little things need fixing before they accumulate too badly. -- David C.

I'll take the current knetworkmanager source and develop a patch for the new systemd network interface naming schemes. But when I have one -- who do I submit it to for building/testing??

Please tell point me to a link for building KDE3 on openSuSE and I'm happy to give it a shot. I do not have an opensuse build environment for kde3 so I'm hoping that it can be done through build service somehow. I build TDE for Archlinux, so I'm familiar with the kde3 codebase, the only challenge for opensuse/kde3 is the how/where to setup a project to do it. I would really rather avoid downloading all srpms and attempting to reconstruct the build environment here -- so what is the best way to do this? -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] knetworkmanager - 100% CPU
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Ilya, I had a runaway knetworkmanager pegging the cpu at 100% constantly. I don't know what caused it to race, but it almost melted my laptop down. Here is a screenshot of the 'top' output: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSuSE/131/kde3/KNetworkMgr-100cpu.jpg I suspect this is related to the new interface renaming (ath -> wlp) that causes networkmanager to not see the actual network connection. (that is why the systray icon stays the green globe instead of turning into the bar-graph showing connection) Let me know what else you would like to see. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] 13.1 knotify crash - kills sounds - howto restart after crash?
by David C. Rankin 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

All, Every so often knotify will crash. (sample kcrash attached). When this occurs all systems sounds stop. I still get the beep and I can still play sound files, but all desktop sounds (shade/unshade, minimize, etc..) stop. How can I restart knotify (or whatever crashed) to recover desktop sounds without having to shutdown and restart kde? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
