The kstyle issue is bizarre. All I can tell you is the downgrade was like flipping a switch from broken kdm/kspash themes, no advaced kde-shutdown dialog (the one with konqui) and all the KDE styles missing, but Qt styles shown. I mean, I can't make this stuff up: kde missing styles https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/1559c91d31d4 kde non-enhanched shutdown dialog https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d300a1bf9575 After downgrade of Qt3, all of that is fixed and back to normal -- so something changed. My system is fully updated except for the Qt3 downgrade. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

BUG - qt3-3.3.8c-168.3 BREAKS kdm/ksplash background, causes KDE styles to disappear
by David C. Rankin 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Yasuhiko, Something went very wrong in the qt3-3.3.8c-168.3 build. I've pulled my hair out for days trying to find the cause of kdm and ksplash suddenly losing background images, .jpg previews being broken in konqueror filenamagement, and all the KDE styles disappearing (e.g. plastik, keramik, etc..) I finally found an old thread from 6 years ago of mine https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/kde3@lists.opensuse.org/thread/VE6… and it pointed to qt3 being the cause. So I downgraded qt3: # zypper in --oldpackage /var/cache/zypp/packages/kde3/x86_64/*3.3.8c-168.1* <snip> The following 2 packages are going to be downgraded: qt3 3.3.8c-168.3 -> 3.3.8c-168.1 qt3-devel 3.3.8c-168.3 -> 3.3.8c-168.1 2 packages to downgrade. And, PRESTO - everything was fixed in the old version of qt3!! Something is horribly broken in qt3-3.3.8c-168.3. Do you want me to file a Bug Report or do you want to have a look first? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Patience Card Game can't load background - looking in /usr/local/share?
by David C. Rankin 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

All, The gremlins in the SELinux install continue. The Patience card game cannot load any background. The error dialog says, e.g. Couldn't load wallpaper /usr/share/wallpapers/triplegears.jpg Of course not. openSUSE kde3 installs to /opt, not /usr. How can this message be generated? How could SELinux screw this up? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

How to disable dpms in kdm?
by David C. Rankin 09 Mar '25

09 Mar '25

All, I'm struggling with a box with i915 Gen 9.5 graphics that reboots every time dpms standby/poweroff is triggered. I need to disable dpms for kdm. Despite starting kdm and then setting: xset -dpms and confirming that dpms is off. If I logout, kdm blanks after some number of minutes powering down the display, triggering a reboot on this box. I've read through kdmrc and there are no settings listed for dpms control. Is there some way to control dpms with kdm? I'll see if there is anything in the man or info page, but other than that, I've never looked into disabling it before. The i915 driver is apparently not plug-n-play, but plug-n-pray now.... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

KDE3 - Missing Default Styles - No Enhanced KDE Shutdown Dialog?? SELinux (disabled)?
by David C. Rankin 09 Mar '25

09 Mar '25

All, I have a new kde3 install on Tumbleweed which is SELinux. I have set enforcing=0 so it should just warn and not block, but I have a suspicion that SELinux may be part of the issue. I also have a recollection of seeing this issue many years ago, but I cannot recall any work-around. The Problem is I am missing all of the default widget styles (e.g. Keramic, Plastik, etc..) with only the oddball styles shown CDE, Motif, Windows 98, etc.. I am also not seeing the enhanced shutdown dialog when I log out. All I see is the basic version. I have screenshots of both on paste.opensuse.org, e.g. kde missing styles https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/1559c91d31d4 kde non-enhanched shutdown dialog https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d300a1bf9575 I've search, but I can't turn up my prior thread(s) on this. There is also the problem of .jpg previews not being shown in konqueror and no background being shown for kdm or ksplash. I'm not sure what to make of it. If I click the .jpg to force the kviewpart image to be shown, it's fine, it just won't show any of the normal mouseover preview. Anybody have any guesses? The kde3 install on my laptop works perfectly fine. I'm not sure what the issue is, but the laptop is AppArmor and the desktop with all the problems is SELinux. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Latest Updates - jpg Preview broken on mouseover in konqueror (will display fine in embedded viewer)
by David C. Rankin 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

All, In Tumbleweed fully updated. A couple of weird kdm/kde issues with .jpg files. First, starting kdm start with no background, it is linked to a .jpg and it worked fine previously. Then checking in konqueror, when you roll your mouse over a .jpg, you don't get a preview in the tooltips that pop up. Just the default icon. Mouseover of a .png and the preview shows just fine in the tooltip. Can somebody confirm. What could have happened to .jpg? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Fwd: Is libressl-devel a "drop-in" replacement for "openssl-devel" ?
by David C. Rankin 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Yasuhiko, Is there a way to have the -devel packages allow either libressl-devel or libopenssl-devel. See Jan's comments at the end below. He thinks it is an issue with the kde3 packages. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Is libressl-devel a "drop-in" replacement for "openssl-devel" ?

I didn't explicitly install it. zypper does not *change* from one provider to another unless explicitly requested by the user way of e.g. `zypper in -f libressl-devel`. libzypp may however propose its installation if you install something that desires libcrypto.pc, the system does not yet have libcrypto.pc(!), and if employing libressl-devel to provide libcrypto.pc makes for an algorithmically satisfiable installation request. > The problem is it > breaks package dependencies that require openssl-devel. E.g., > > Problem: 1: the to be installed kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-276.1.x86_64 requires > 'openssl-devel', but this requirement cannot be provided The problem here is kdelibs3-devel which - usually erroneously - forces the openssl.org implementation of libcrypto.pc. -- David C.

Zypper Solver Problems with kde3 -devel packages - conflicts
by David C. Rankin 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

Yasuhiko, There are a number of conflicts popping up with kde3 -devel packages. For example, trying to install kde3 on a new Tumbleweed install results in: [17:14 niflheim:.../cache/zypp/packages] # zypper in $(</home/david/tmp/niflheim/kde-packages-oneline.txt) Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: 1: the to be installed kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-276.1.x86_64 requires 'openssl-devel', but this requirement cannot be provided not installable providers: libopenssl-devel-3.2.4-2.1.noarch[download.opensuse.org-oss] Solution 1: Following actions will be done: do not install kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-276.1.x86_64 do not install kdebase3-devel-3.5.10.1-385.1.x86_64 do not install kdesdk3-devel-3.5.10-85.8.x86_64 Solution 2: deinstallation of libressl-devel-4.0.0-1.2.x86_64 Solution 3: break kdelibs3-devel-3.5.10-276.1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies It looks like libressl-devel (libressl in general) is opensuse's new "more secure" ssl, no doubt to accommodate SELinux: # rqi libressl-devel Name : libressl-devel Version : 4.0.0 Release : 1.2 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Thu 27 Feb 2025 07:31:02 PM CST Group : Development/Libraries/C and C++ Size : 1155787 License : OpenSSL Signature : RSA/SHA512, Thu 09 Jan 2025 07:43:33 PM CST, Key ID 35a2f86e29b700a4 Source RPM : libressl-4.0.0-1.2.src.rpm Build Date : Tue 15 Oct 2024 04:13:03 PM CDT Build Host : reproducible Packager : https://bugs.opensuse.org Vendor : openSUSE URL : https://www.libressl.org/ Summary : Development files for LibreSSL, an SSL/TLS protocol implementation Description : LibreSSL is an open-source implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. It derives from OpenSSL, with the aim of refactoring the OpenSSL code so as to provide a more secure implementation. This subpackage contains libraries and header files for developing applications that want to make use of libressl. Distribution: openSUSE Tumbleweed Can the kde3 -devel packages be patched to work with this new libressl? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
