[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] KDE3 Handbooks
by Leslie Turriff 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Does anyone know where the KDE 3 Handbooks have gone? Are they available somewhere outside of the OpenSuSE repositories? I'm currently looking on the WayBack machine, and it looks like maybe the closest to the final KDE 3.5.10 Docs available there were snapshotted on 2007-12-29. The next snapshot there points to KDE 4. Sadly, the http://docs.kde.org/ website doesn't seem to provide them as a packaged set. If anyone knows of a better source, please let us know.

[opensuse-kde3] Bug_1056294 - Kate Syntax Files Download Broken - New Certificate, Download Fails
by David C. Rankin 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

All, I filed the following bug due to the breakage of syntax file updates for KDE3: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1056294 Text: Kate syntax highlighting files download fails to download or update syntax files after Certificate mismatch at the upstream site. Specifically, attempting to update syntax highlight files, as has been available and updated for more than a decade by using: Kate->Settings->Configure Kate->Editor->Highlighting->Download Now results in a certificate mismatch. Certificate not issued for host IP. You can choose to accept the new certificate forever and proceed to click "Download" to update the syntax files. However, the normal download dialog that flashes and shows each update being downloaded, now only momentarily flashes once and no new syntax files are downloaded. Current updates are not downloaded. The current syntax files shown needing update are: ASN.1 Alerts_Incident Bitbake ChangeLog ColdFusion Debian Changelog MIPS Assembler Objective Caml Perl Ruby/Rails/RHTML SQL(Oracle) SQL(PostgresSQL) Scala Scheme Stata Zsh progress reStructuredText All show prior versions properly installed in Kate, but new updates are not retrieved. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] vim >= 8.0 displays "$q q" at top of window (konsole xterm not xterm-256color compatible)
by David C. Rankin 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Just a note, When using vim >= 8.0 in konsole, a '$q q' will be displayed on the first line on start. This is due to a lack of compatibility of the konsole xterm setting in TERM not being compatible with xterm-256color. I have filed the opensuse KDE3 bug as: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1055815 This effects all versions of konsole from 3.5.10 to Plasma. The upstream KDE bug is: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=383976 A KDE3 workaround is to: $ export TERM=xterm-256color -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Getting ready to install Leap 42.3 and KDE3...
by Leslie Turriff 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

I'm getting ready to install Leap 42.3 on my desktop system, and I'm looking for recommendations for getting KDE3 to work 'out of the box', since previously I've struggled with weird results when starting from a DM-free OpenSuSE install. (It appears to me that KDE3 expects certain non-KDE3 packages to be preinstalled, otherwise weird things happen.) What would be the best DM to install initially, to be later superceded by KDE3? I'd like to avoid KDE4 and Plasma as much as possible. Also, what is the best way to get the restricted codecs installed? The available One-Click options don't seem work with a KDE3-only system.

[opensuse-kde3] Default SDDM cannot be customized or replaced without KDE4 or Plasma?
by Leslie Turriff 25 Aug '17

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] What do I need to install to make kdepim3 work in plasma 5?
by Robert Smits 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

What do I need to do to install kdepim3 in a standard opensuse 42.2 KDE install? I don't want to switch back and forth between plasma 5 and KDE3. I'd rather install KDEPIM3 but don't know what I need to install from the KDE3 repository.
