[opensuse-kde3] Need HELP - zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 leaves KDE3 styles (widgetStyles) missing.
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '19

All, Devs, I have a problem with KDE3 kstyles (Plastik, Keramik, etc..) are all missing after 'zypper dup' from 42.3->15.0. This is not a problem with KDE3 per-se as all my 'fresh installs' of KDE3 in 15.0 and 15.1 have all the styles and are working fine. This is a 'zypper dup' problem leaving kde unable to read/load the styles in: /opt/kde3/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ The styles are all there: $ l /opt/kde3/share/apps/kstyle/themes/ total 156 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 4 19:53 .… [View More] drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 18 2018 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jan 6 2005 Metal4kde.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 147 Apr 28 2004 activeheart.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3189 Aug 19 2008 b3.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5045 Aug 19 2008 default.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4118 Aug 19 2008 dotnet.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8023 Aug 19 2008 highcolor.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7447 Aug 19 2008 highcontrast.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4347 Aug 19 2008 keramik.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10555 Aug 19 2008 light-v2.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10693 Aug 19 2008 light-v3.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2687 Aug 19 2008 phase.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4038 Aug 19 2008 plastik.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 May 27 2007 polyester.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4527 Aug 19 2008 qtcde.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4811 Aug 19 2008 qtmotif.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5242 Aug 19 2008 qtmotifplus.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5301 Aug 19 2008 qtplatinum.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3422 Aug 19 2008 qtsgi.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5361 Aug 19 2008 qtwindows.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7834 Aug 19 2008 riscos.themerc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4875 Aug 19 2008 scheck.themerc The associated .la and .so files are present in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins-lib/styles/ and /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins-lib64/styles/. The only files shown in kcontrol->Appearance&Themes->Style are: CDE MS Windows 9x Motif Platinum SGI (the Qt styles - yuck...) kcoltrol styles screenshot at: https://paste.opensuse.org/66525346 My preferred kstyle is keramik so it was instantly noticeable after zypper dup. I have pulled my hair out trying to find the problem and I'm stumped. Since keramic style is part of the kdelibs source, I first though to reinstall the base programs: # rpm -Ua --reinstall kdelibs3-3.5.10-lp150.213.3.x86_64.rpm kdelibs3-default-style-3.5.10-lp150.213.3.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-workspace-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm kdebase3-extra-3.5.10.1-lp150.339.1.x86_64.rpm no help... I have then compared all the relevant files in ~/.kde/share/config, e.g. kdeglobals, kwinrc, startupconfig, etc.. to the files on the fresh installs of 15.0 where all kstyles are present and working fine -- no difference. I have created a new Linux user and started kde3 where there was no profile directory and the new user has none of the kstyles available either confirming this is a system wide issue after the zypper dup. I have also compared all the kde3/qt rpms installed with those on the fresh-installs and there are no differences. (including the Qt4 & Qt5 rpms) I have compared the KDE and QT environment variables set between the zypper dup and fresh installs -- they are the same. My style set in kdeglobals is still keramic, e.g. $ grep Style ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals XftHintStyle=hintmedium widgetStyle=keramik View Style=Simple I even installed a couple more styles from the kde3 repo just to see if that wouldn't break the logjam, but no help. I installed: kde3-style-activeheart-1.2.1-lp150.3.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-style-metal4kde-0.2-lp150.5.1.x86_64.rpm kde3-style-polyester-1.0.5-lp150.7.1.x86_64.rpm I could have done 10 fresh installs and reconfigs in the time I've been chasing this (and a few other) zypper dup side effects. Other than backing up and blowing this install away and doing a fresh-install, I'm out of ideas here (though I would like to figure this one out...) So I ask for ideas from those that may have a bit of knowledge on how the kstyles are loaded and what I might check to see why mine are not? I can usually solve just about any KDE3 issue, but this one has me stumped. help... what to check next?? -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] [opensuse] zypper dup 42.3 -> 15.0 loses all KDE Plastic/Keramik default styles?
by David C. Rankin 03 Nov '19

All, After having done several full installs of 15.0 and 15.1 with no notable issues, I did my first zypper dup --downloadinadvance after having done a zypper clean and zypper ref. The zypper dup went well (even with the NVidia drivers and cinelerra repos). However, I have a frustrating problem that is not present in the fresh installs of 15.0 and 15.1. I use Keramik as the KDE3 style (in both 15.0 and 15.1 fresh installs), but after a zypper dup, the Plastik and Keramik styles do not … [View More]
