It TW missing a KTTSD kcontrol panel module?
by David C. Rankin 30 Oct '24

30 Oct '24

Yasuhiko, All, kde3 accessibility has the KTTSD (Text to Speech) daemon. I don't know what launched it, but it wasn't able to find a "talker". The K-Say-It app attempts to launch the kcontrol TTSD module, but it cannot be found. Sure enough, there is none in kcontrol anywhere. I also recall disabling the text-to-speech in the control panel years ago (I don't use it), but that module no longer exists. Is it missing? Build/dependency failure? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Akregator - Default Feeds need updating - Novell openSUSE feeds still defaults
by David C. Rankin 29 Oct '24

Yasuhiko, When you get a chance, the Akregator news feed app needs to have the pre-set default feeds changed (mostly just deleted). The following don't exist anymore Planet SUSE Novell Open PR SUSE Security Announcements (probably update link) Novell User Communities There was one more Novell feed I deleted before I started this e-mail. Whatever it is, all Novell related feeds need to be deleted. Those went away in 2005 or so :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Tumbleweed - Fix for kde3-gtk-qt-engine libbonobo-devel dependency
by David C. Rankin 28 Oct '24

28 Oct '24

Yasuhiko, We need to fix kde3-gtk-qt-engine on tumbleweed. The problem is libbonobo is no longer packaged for tumbleweed. It is listed as a dependency for kde3-gtk-qt-engine, but is NOT a true dependency. Looking at the source, it is only a conditional dependency, e.g. in qt_theme_draw.c, you have: #ifdef HAVE_BONOBO #include <libbonobo.h> #include <libbonoboui.h> #endif .... #ifdef HAVE_BONOBO if (GTK_IS_TOOLBAR(parent) || BONOBO_IS_UI_TOOLBAR(parent)) #else if (GTK_IS_TOOLBAR(parent)) #endif So it appears we can build the packages for tumbleweed by defining: #define HAVE_BONOBO 0 Do you have a build-setup where you can give this a try? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Mystery Tumbleweed - kmix volume goes to 75% magically sometime after kde3 startup?
by David C. Rankin 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

All, Here is another tumbleweed issue I'm trying to track down. The volume with kmix is set to 61%. That's where I set it, and that's where it is set on desktop start. However, after opening konsole, kate, konqueror, firefox, thunderbird, kweather and usually kpatience (patience card game - time killer), at some point, the volume magically jumps to 75% ??? Has anyone else seen there volume magically adjust to 75%? I haven't isolated which app does it. Whenever it happens, I don't know about it until the next sound is played -- usually the konsole error telling me I hit backspace one too many times. Thought I would ask... -- David C.

Test build of kdelibs3 with rust alert patch - I'll test
by David C. Rankin 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Yasuhiko, Since we have eliminated the openssh and other kdelibs3/qt3 issues, can you make a private build of kdelibs3 with the rust.xml alert patch and post a link for me to test to see if the Embedded Advanced Text Editor katepart issue has resolved? I'm curious about what the issue was there. The change to rust.xml is innocuous and should make no difference whatsoever to the katepart. Not a big issue, but I would like to see the rust.xml syntax file updated. Not that I'm a big proponent of the rust craze, but when looking at rust sources those highlighted comments help readability. Whenever you have time, just let me know and I'm happy to test. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: why pipewire-pulseaudio (FWD to KDE3 - kmix volume on Leap still broken -std=c++11 flag needed there too?)

I'll forward this to the kde3 list for Yasuhiko to take a look. It could be as simple as just adding the -std=c++11 flag to the alsa build for Leap if Yasuhiko didn't automatically backport the TW fix. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thank You Yasuhiko - rust syntax works fine -- and no katepart editor issue!
by David C. Rankin 01 Oct '24

Yasuhiko, I noticed kdelibs3 has the rust.xml syntax file from 9/18/24 with the comment Alerts enabled. Thank you for patching that. The Embedded Advanced Text Editor katepart works fine too. So whatever the issue was that occurred when the patch was applied earlier -- that is fixed. Thanks again! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
