[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!

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

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.

[opensuse-kde3] retrofit 3 in place of 4 failed on 12.2
by Felix Miata 13 Aug '14

I cloned a 12.2 (on purpose) KDE4 installation, removed (virtually) all of KDE4, enabled KDE:KDE3, then zypper installed whatever packages best matched this running 11.4/KDE3 installation. On starting KDE3 (via startx) I found personal settings missing, so exited, found and installed systemsettings-kde3, and tried again. Now, trying to use systemsettings, still missing from the menus, crashes: System configuration startup check disabled.

[opensuse-kde3] kdelibs3 fails to build due to cups changes
by Olaf Hering 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

SLE12 lacks kdirstat, so I linked arts, qt3, kdelibs3 and kdirstat in my project. But kdelibs3 fails due to API changes in cpus-1.7. I wonder why cups is still at 1.5 in Factory. Did anyone already start integrating the required changes for cups-1.7?

[opensuse-kde3] What is gam_server? and why is it in .xsession-errors on kwrite start?

Ilya, I'm trying to track down slow start of kwrite/kate compared to 11.4.

[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 - knemo - no display of essid (similar to NetworkManager issue)
by David C. Rankin 02 Aug '14

Ilya, All, knemo in 13.1 no longer displays wireless essid and the remaining connection information like it has traditionally displayed.

(all information is selected to show in knemo config) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/openSuSE/131/kde3/knemo-no-essid.jpg Let me know if you need me to file this report somewhere, or work it here on the list.

Ilya, I'm using network manager in 13.1, so I attempted to load the kde3 network-manager package.
