[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)?.

I had started a thread in the openSUSE forum. I found the answer there: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/522526-Install-using-MBR-disk-la… "In expert partitioner select disk in the object tree in the left frame.

[opensuse-kde3] KHelpCenter - path issue, Pressing 'F1' for help fails, 'khelpcenter' from command-line OK?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '17

Ilya, all, I haven't nailed this down completely, but I think I know what is going on. For all apps pressing F1 fails until the kde applications help index is generated (that's normal -- you just need to remember to generate the index on new install) However, after the indexes are generated, pressing `F1` still fails for many apps, 'kjots' for example (the khelpcenter busy cursor just spins in the taskbar until timeout (30 sec. default) occurs. I think the hardcoded path in the individual apps to the help files location is wrong or the hardcoded khelpcenter path is wrong (we ran into this during TDE development, roughly 1/2 the kde apps had a wrong path to their help documents) For example, the kjots dockbook is installed to /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/kjots/. (however they can only be found by starting khelpcenter from the command-line), e.g. $ khelpcenter Then you can navigate to the 'KDE Application Manuals' tab and find all the help manuals (including kjots). Additionally..., attempting to launch 'KDE Help Center' from kmenu fails. (it just never shows -- no busy cursor -- no nothing) So either the hardcoded path to khelpcenter is wrong in the applications, or it is wrong in the hardcoded kmenu path (or a combination of both) e.g. $ cat /opt/kde3/share/applications/kde/Help.desktop [Desktop Entry] Exec=khelpcenter Icon=khelpcenter DocPath=khelpcenter/index.html Type=Application Terminal=false Name=Help There is no 'index.html' in the 'khelpcenter' document location, e.g.: $ll /opt/kde3/share/doc/HTML/en/khelpcenter/ total 268 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 13:49 faq drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 13:49 glossary drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 13:49 quickstart drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 13:49 userguide drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 19 13:49 visualdict -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128431 Sep 10 2005 background.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25929 Sep 10 2005 bgtable.png lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 19 13:49 common -> ../common -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4667 Jan 15 2007 contact.docbook -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20337 Sep 10 2005 help.docbook -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12050 Aug 20 2008 index.cache.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2872 Sep 10 2005 index.docbook -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6833 Jan 19 2006 kdelogo2.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1687 Sep 10 2005 khelpcenter.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1867 Sep 10 2005 konq.css -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 259 Sep 10 2005 lines.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 198 Jan 19 2006 lines2.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 268 Sep 10 2005 pointers.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 184 Sep 10 2005 shadow1.png -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3168 Sep 10 2005 support.docbook -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1747 Sep 10 2005 welcome.docbook -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5835 Sep 10 2005 whatiskde.docbook During build there is a docbook2html utility used to generate html files, but it doesn't look like the html pages are installed with Leap. I'll have to see if I have an old virtualbox guest with Arch/TDE installed to check. As I recall, this was the crux of the issue with TDE. Darrell Anderson spent a great deal of time sorting this all out for TDE. It might be worth checking if there is a set of patches we can pull that would fix the paths here. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] why misc-console-font required?
by Felix Miata 18 Feb '17

18 Feb '17

Anyone know why this frequently rebuilt annoyance is required by kdebase3(-apps?)? What's wrong with using the generic global monospace font, which I have to change Konsole to use after every new installation or user creation? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
