[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] Leap 42.3 - log messages on boot - udev/HAL?
by David C. Rankin 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

All, On a new 42.3 install, the journal is filling with hundreds of messages on boot: Apr 08 07:40:05 wizard systemd-udevd[1386]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event' 'socket:@/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event': No such file or directory Why should systemd be looking for the /org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event? Aren't we building with --nohal? or should I have installed something else to provide this dependency? KDE3 is running great -- I was just … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] kdm3.service and fix of wicked timeout - boot from off to kde3 in 12 seconds!
by David C. Rankin 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

All, There are a couple of tweaks you can make to have kdm/kde3 boot like a rocket ship. kde-kdebase does not include a kdm3.service file. This causes systemd to flail around looking for one. I have one from the TDE builds I did for Arch that I installed on 42.3 -- works perfect! $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm3.service [Unit] Description=KDE3 Display Manager After=systemd-user-sessions.service [Service] ExecStart=/opt/kde3/bin/kdm [Install] Alias=display-manager.service Just create … [View More]the file and save it as /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm3.service. Then do # systemctl daemon reload (to have systemd re-read its services files) Then just enable the service: # systemctl enable kdm3 That's it, the next boot, systemd will enable kdm3.service and the 90 sec timeout looking for a display manager is gone, e.g. 17:29 wizard:~/cnf/kde> sc -l status kdm3 ● kdm3.service - KDE3 Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kdm3.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2018-04-21 17:00:28 CDT; 29min ago Main PID: 1351 (kdm) Tasks: 2 (limit: 512) CGroup: /system.slice/kdm3.service ├─1351 /opt/kde3/bin/kdm └─1451 /usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt8 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-5uunkE Apr 21 17:00:28 wizard systemd[1]: Started KDE3 Display Manager. === We need to add this to the kdebase package === Next, wicked has an incredibly long global timeout of 30 seconds set (it doesn't require any, but I set it at 1 second just to be on the safe side). This doesn't effect all systems, but caused my system with Intel eth0 to hang (even though no cable is plugged in) for the full 30 sec timeout causing my boot time to balloon to nearly 1 minute. You fix the problem by editing /etc/sysconfig/network/config and setting: WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES="1" After reducing the wait time from 30 to 1 second, I can now boot from OFF/cold to full KDE3 (with my custom kdm moodin splash theme) in 12.1 seconds, e.g. $ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 5.455s (kernel) + 3.466s (initrd) + 3.193s (userspace) = 12.115s That is the entire boot to my killer login in a total of 12.115 seconds. That's the way Linux with SSD should work. I can even drop another second by leaving WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES="" (empty). Give it a try if you have a boot delay based on wicked. To see all your services and their boot activation times, systemd plot with create a handy .svg graphic showing all service activation and the time it takes, just use: $ systemd-analyze plot > yourfile.svg The just look at it in a browser to determine if you have any delays you can fix -- and exactly what they are. -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] Howto rebuild kde-kdegraphics3 with custom fribidi to restore .svg preview?
by David C. Rankin 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Ilya, all (Ilya, I dropped a note on the kde-kdegraphics3 buildservice page) The current build of fribidi (which kde-kdegraphics3 requires) deprecates the symbol fribidi_log2vis required by the .svg preview for konqueror and the file-open dialog. The deprecation is controlled by a simple #define in fribidi-0.19.2/lib/common.h, e.g. #define FRIBIDI_NO_DEPRECATED I have patched and build fribidi removing the define with a simple comment (ironic in what is captured in the patch) --- … [View More]

[opensuse-kde3] There was an error loading the module KSVGPlugin. - SONAME bump?
by David C. Rankin 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

All, Attempting a preview of a .svg file (from systemd-analyze) in konqueror produced a error dialog: There was an error loading the module KSVGPlugin. The diagnostics is: /opt/kde3/lib64/libtext2path.so.0: undefined symbol: fribidi_log2vis Which is provided by kdegraphics3-3.5.10-153.53.x86_64. Has there been a soname bump in one of the libraries used by kdegraphics that is causing the problem? How can we trigger a rebuild of kdegraphics to see if that fixes the problem? The .svg … [View More]
