[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] Default SDDM cannot be customized or replaced without KDE4 or Plasma?
by Leslie Turriff 25 Aug '17

I run my OpenSuSE machines with either KDE3 or Trinity desktops. After installing Leap 42.2 recently, I am unable to get KDM to run, and there does not seem to be any way to customize the preinstalled SDDM (to prevent it displaying login IDs) or to replace it, either. I'm guessing that its binary is imbedded in the login process, even though it wasn't installed as part of KDE4 or Plasma (which I didn't install and don't want). I used the YaST /etc/sysconfig editor component to attempt to change the display manager to kdm, but that has no effect. How can I (preferably) replace SDDM with KDM, or at least configure SDDM so that it doesn't display login ID information? I was able to install the package containing SDDM so that I could see the documentation and configuration file (/etc/sddm.conf), but modifying this file to suppress userid display has no effect. Also, /etc/sddm.conf says that it will display theme maui, but it displays the OpenSuSE wallpaper (with the lightbulb), so it's pretty clear that SDDM isn't reading its config file. :-( Here it is. I added the [Users] section, which was absent. $ cat /etc/sddm.conf [Theme] Current=maui #ursorTheme=breeze_cursors CursorTheme=DMZ [XDisplay] ServerPath=/usr/bin/X SessionCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession DisplayCommand=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup MinimumVT=7 [Users] HideUsers=<userid1>,<userid2>,root RememberLastUser=false RememberLastSession=true -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Re: Leap 42 - First Login kded/kicker crashes, logout/login again all is OK - Any idea?

Hi, For those not subscribed to bug 965242, there seems to be a workaround. Add the following somewhere at the beginning of /opt/kde3/bin/startkde: GAM_SERV=`pgrep gam_server` if test -z $GAM_SERV ; then echo "No gam_server running, starting it..." /usr/lib/gam_server& fi It looks like KDE3 starts OK when gam_server is already running and crashes when gam_server is not running when kded/kdesktop/kicker call FAMOpen. I could not find how gam_server is started. Possibly, libfam0 starts it when called for the first time. So probably KDE3 can't handle correctly this situation.

[opensuse-kde3] Can 42.2 repo work for 42.3alpha?
by Felix Miata 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

I tried. Session starts, but KControl opens only Network. 'kcmshell --list' output is only a header line, no modules listed. Is a 42.3 repo going to be opened for KDE3: before it's released? If yes, ETA? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
