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'… [View More]

BUG - focus-follows-mouse broken for Gtk apps in latest builds of KDE3
by David C. Rankin 12 Sep '24

12 Sep '24

All, I just did a fresh install of Tumbleweed. I have both 15.4 and Tumbleweed on separate disks I can boot back and forth between. My 15.4 KDE3 hasn't been updated in several months -- it continues to work perfectly. However, whatever has changed (base libraries, etc..) in the KDE3 build has broken the focus-follows-mouse and middle-mouse-scroll over Gtk apps such as Firefox/Thunderbird unless those windows are raised to the top level. (in other words the mouse-wheel will not scroll … [View More]

Just curious. Who knew kde3 was under such active development :) This isn't only limited to the KDE3 repo, packman (which is the slowest from the US) also has about 50 of the same packages that seem to build every day and the mozilla repo that has a couple of libs and nss that rebuilds every day. Does anybody know what is causing this? Horrible mirror speed from the US makes it painful to update Tumbleweed. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. [View Less]

Tumbleweed kmenuedit - many Gtk icons named "org" and can't be used.
by David C. Rankin 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Yasuhiko, All, Working with kmenuedit I ran across a bug in the way some Gtk icons are listed in the System icons -> Application list. Many of the Gtk app icons are just named "org" -- which creates problems. You can see a screenshot here: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/31a073a6794f For some reason the list isn't capturing the icon name and just grabs the leading "org" part of the backwards-ass path naming Gtk uses. No doubt this is a new Gtk4 SNAFU. Do I need to file … [View More]

kdm3 doesn't support systemd 256 logind (or any systemd logind)?
by David C. Rankin 18 Aug '24

18 Aug '24

Yasuhiko, All, There was an issue discussed regarding susepaste and how it grabs information from loginctl to copy information to the clipboard, and to do so it needed the tty information for the login. The discussion is in the thread from earlier today titled: What's wrong with suse_paste.sh "Failed to get path for session '1"?? Currently kdm3 doesn't register any tty with loginctl, e..g $ loginctl list-sessions --no-legend 1 1000 david seat0 1608 user - no - 2 1000 david - … [View More]

Tumbleweed - Why are backtraces no longer produced in the kcrash dialog?
by David C. Rankin 18 Aug '24

18 Aug '24

Yasuhiko, all, All the way up through 15.4, when kcrash was triggered you would get a backtrace in the dialog you could save and use to debug the problem. Now in Tumbleweed, kcrash no longer triggers a backtrace, but instead displays text that real time debug info can be downloaded from an opensuse.org site???? Huh? Of course, kcrash is hardwired to answer 'N' (No) to the prompt to download the debug info. What's going on here and can we restore the default behavior so … [View More]

KDevelop Broken in Tumbleweed
by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Yasuhiko, There is an odd problem with kdevelop that causes it to crash randomly. Sometimes you can build an example, but sometimes if you simply middle-mouse-paste something into an editor window it crashes. For example, just working with the "simple" example, adding the header kuinqueapplication.h in main.cpp causes the program to crash, e.g. Here is the output to stderr running from the commandline to catch the output: $ kdevelop --profile KDECppIDE %u libpng warning: iCCP: … [View More]

KDevelop Broken in Tumbleweed - additional info
by David C. Rankin 11 Aug '24

11 Aug '24

Yasuhiko, The crash seems to occur after you have built a project, closed kdevelop and then reopened kdevelop and then choose open project to open another existing project. Simple test case. Just create the two examples kde simple application, and kde simple application with designer. Build them, then try and open the other project, with Project -> Open Existing.. and with a couple of the sources open try and modify a source. When the bug occurs, most of the icons in the … [View More]
