[opensuse-kde3] ksnapshot .png file size
by Felix Miata 02 May '19

02 May '19

Is there a configuration option somewhere to have KSnapshot save .png images in 8-bit instead of 24-bit? 24-bit is a complete waste for desktop and window screenshots that include no photographs. I know many many moons ago, probably at least a decade, .png file sizes were much much smaller by default. Clicking the KSnapshot help button produces nothing but an hourglass. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

[opensuse-kde3] TW kdm and startx both fail with timeout & crashing drkonqi kicker

Anyone else unable to run KDE3 session on TW? Anyone know how to find out why I see timeouts? I got this two days ago on host big31 and figured it out myself, but now on host p5bse I don't remember how and can't figure it out. :-( # /var/log/kdm.log tail X.Org X Server 1.19.6 Release Date: 2017-12-20 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: openSUSE SUSE LINUX Current Operating System: Linux p5bse 4.16.12-2-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri May 25 18:40:19 UTC 2018 (39c7522) x86_64 … [View More]Kernel command line: root=LABEL=ostwK4h50 ipv6.disable=1 net.ifnames=0 noresume vga=791 video=1024x768@60 video=1440x900@60 5 Build Date: 17 April 2018 12:00:00PM Current version of pixman: 0.34.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

So I added Mesa-libva. Next startx try produced segfaults in drkonqi and kicker related to libfontconfig.so. Next I added libvdpau_va_gl1. Next startx produced a flash of Kicker, then back to black screen. Next, libvdpau_trace1, same result. Next, libvdpau_radeonsi, no help. Next, libvdpau_r600, still nada. Next, libXvMC1, no dice. Next, libXvMC_r600, nada. Next, libxcb-xf86dri0, nope. libXfont1, no. libxfonts, wants 8 deps including java, so skipped. libva-glx2, no. :~( All these failures are associated with another new ~/.config/gtkrc* file.

[opensuse-kde3] KDE3 session starts Plasma as well
by Julius Schwartzenberg 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi, I just added KDE3 to my system with OpenSUSE 42.3. I had been using KDE Plasma 5 on it before. Logging out and relogging with a KDE3 in gave me this: https://schwart6.home.xs4all.nl/kde3-with-plasmabar.png (Two panels, one KDE3 kicker and the Plasma panel.) This does not really make sense I'd say. Is this a bug or should I change something to prevent this? Thanks, Julius -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Compiz-Reloaded (compiz .8 - the good one) Actively Developed
by David C. Rankin 26 Sep '18

26 Sep '18

All, I stumbled across this on a stray rabbit trail. Compiz .8 is still in active development at https://github.com/compiz-reloaded I have used the version we ship with kde3, and while functional, it is missing many of the plugins from both main and extra plugin groups. I don't know (haven't extracted and looked at) what the origin for the current compiz sources are, but the compiz-reloaded code may provide a much improved source for packaging.
