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

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.

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.

Is opensuse-kdeuser_en.pdf an equivalent?

Newest I see is

Are these something that never made it onto boxed set media? If yes, I'm sure
lots of us have those old boxes around. I just stuck a 10.2 DVD in, but if
there, by what name(s) should I be looking? I found
-r--r--r-- 1 668662 Nov 25 2006 docbook_3-3.1-631.noarch.rpm
-r--r--r-- 1 19673255 Nov 27 2006 kdelibs3-devel-doc-3.5.5-45.noarch.rpm
but it's clear as mud whether what OP wants might be in either.

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

Very strange; here's what I get:

I've attached my kdmrc file for your review.
I did find some references to background files
in /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc, and maybe one of these is being
displayed, though it looks like they're turned off.

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.
TIA,
Leslie

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

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.
Thanks, Bob
