[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] -- … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] TW kdebase3-kdm requires obsolete libIlmImf-2_2-2*
by Felix Miata 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

(Filing KDE3 bugs hasn't produces any apparent results in a very long time.) I went ahead and installed the newer libIlmImf-2_2-2* that was available, then force installed kdebase3-kdm, and it seems to have no problem doing its job. I use it with useTheme=no, so maybe that's why it works. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom." Proverbs 4:7 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

[opensuse-kde3] Where to Request KDE3 build for 15?
by David C. Rankin 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

All, I did my monthly update to the latest master of FW5 (17.12) and Plasma (5.12) and it continues to be horrendous. I don't know why I keep hoping that desktop will become usable -- only to be repeatedly disappointed with each latest and greatest version. Simple things don't work, the pager takes up 1/4 of the taskbar, there is no way to tell it to use 2-row that is a simply mouse-click in KDE3, there is no way to control the damn clock and calendar font size leaving it looking like an … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] Still Finding New Efficiency Features after More than a Decade of Use
by David C. Rankin 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

All, This is truly a testament to the team approach and depth of thought that went into the KDE3 desktop design. After more than a decade using KDE3, I am still discovering little gems you wouldn't normally think about, but when you see them implemented you think "You know, that was a damn good idea!" Take today, clicking on my 'Konsole-Restore Sessions' menu item to run the script to launch konsole and restore my 9 konsole tabas with ssh connections established, I looked at the tip-… [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] BUG in KDE3 ? (Oups !)
by Patrick Serru 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hello all, I have a problem difficult to specify. I made a backup of my home directory yesterday. Today, after a few hours of operation, the processor started heating. This is not the first time this has happened (known solution!). A launch of ksysguard allows me to see that "systemd-coredum" uses 100% of the resources and renews itself permanently. Then, I kill X, and things calm down. When I log in as kde3 root, there is no problem. But every time I log in as a user: thermal … [View More]
