kmenu -> Games -> Amusement (has world time and teatime??)
by David C Rankin 11 Apr '25

11 Apr '25

All, Can anybody think of any recent change that would cause Kmenu to be rearranged? Earlier today looking at the menu, kworld clock and kteatime were moved into Games -> Amusement. These are traditionally Utilities;Clock apps in the Utilities menu. The .desktop file categories HAVE changed. Currently both kteatime.desktop and kworldclock.desktop have: Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;Amusement; That is not right and is a change from earlier. Checking the 15.4 install the … [View More]

Updated TW Laptop - All jpeg loading broke - what libjpeg do you have?
by David C. Rankin 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

All, With all the problems I've had with the desktop and Qt3/kdm/ksplash/kdegames, I held off updating my laptop for several weeks as it had a kde3 that was perfect, no problems at all. I finally updated it yesterday to all current packages, and everything that was broken in kde3 on the desktop, konqueror tooltip jpeg preview, kdm loading .jpg theme backgrounds, ksplash with moodin engine not loading .jpg backgrounds, the kde desktop not loading .jpg backgrounds, kdegames kpatience … [View More]

Can any confirm not konqueror tooltip preview for /usr/share/wallpapers/All-Good-People-1.jpg
by David C Rankin 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

All, Yasuhiko, Can someone confirm in konqueror that rolling a mouse over: /usr/share/wallpapers/All-Good-People-1.jpg fails to produce an image preview, but that rolling the mouse over: /usr/share/wallpapers/root-logo.png produces the tooltip preview just fine? The first file is owned by kdebase3-workspace-3.5.10.1-385.14.x86_64, the second by kdebase3-SuSE-11.3-108.10.x86_64. On my non-updated box, both preview fine, but with all current TW updates applied, I get no .jpg … [View More]previews in the tooltips, and all .svgz previews are not scaled to fit in the preview. (they .svgz images don't scale to fit in the tooltip on the non-updated install either) If somebody can confirm this behavior, we have reproducible errors, along with the kdegames kpatience background not loading that we can work to figure out what is going on. Everything else in kde3 is working fine as far as I can tell, it's just this weird .jpg issue that is breaking things. The error has changed from QImage::smothScale to QImage::convertDepth in the .xsession-errors - which doesn't make much sense, e.g. $ grep -i 'image\|png' ~/.xsession-errors libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image QImage::convertDepth: Image is a null image libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile The "Image is a null image" errors are associated with the first few mouse-over tooltip preview attempts. After a while, they quit displaying. I guess the error message buffer fills or something similar. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. [View Less]

qt3-debuginfo-3.3.8c-168.8.x86_64 not found?
by David C Rankin 04 Apr '25

04 Apr '25

Yasuhiko, all, Trying to debug a qt3 app, gdb needs qt3-debuginfo, ... Breakpoint 1, 0x0000000000405c90 in main () Missing separate debuginfos, use: zypper install qt3-debuginfo-3.3.8c-168.8.x86_64 (gdb) However trying to find or install any qt3-debuginfo file fails, e.g $ zypper se qt3-debuginfo (in fact you can just zypper se qt3 and no debuginfo package exists) Where are the debug packages for qt3? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kdevelop - help, Qt backlight app loads icon fine, kdevelop KDE app won't - same code
by David C Rankin 29 Mar '25

29 Mar '25

All, I was motivated to make the Intel Backlight Qt app I wrote a full KDE app, so I enlisted the help of kdevelop. The move to kdevelop went fine, a bit of awkward learning how kdevelop does things, but not too much trouble. The only weird issue I have is the Qt app loads the custom Intel icon and displays it over the titlebar menu just fine (top left in 1st image below), but the KDE/kdevelop app, while using the same code, does not load the icon. Here are the Qt3 app and KDE/… [View More]

KDE3 - patience card game error loading background
by David C Rankin 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

The plot thickens, This seems to be a generic kde3 jpg library issue. Attempting to turn the brain off for a second with a game of klondike, I opened the kde3 games patience card game. It will no longer load a background. The error displayed on its failure to be able to load a background is: KDE3 - patience card game error loading background https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/2ece2d6fc7a2 The resulting game is displayed without any background and cards on a blank window.

Latest Updates to KDE Messed Menu Locations Up - kruler now in Gtaphics->More Programs
by David C. Rankin 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Yasuhiko, The latest build of KDE3 has scrambled the KDE menu order around for a lot of applications, putting them in generic "More Program" menu folders. Take for example kruler, which has always been in Utilities->Desktop because it is a KDE Desktop Utility. Now you search for it and find it in the non-KDE general Graphics Menu under the generic "More Programs" entry. Recall, things are only place in "More Programs" if their .desktop doesn't properly add the correct xdg … [View More]

Latest Update (Non Qt) Broke KDE Styles and Garbled Colors
by David C Rankin 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Yasuhiko, I updated Tumbleweed today and the update did NOT include qt3, but the update broke the KDE styles and garbled accelerator colors everywhere. An example of the color issues is shown in: KDE3 - latest update (non Qt) Made All KDE Styles Disappear And Colors are Bad https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/66a9ab948d34 This is using the 168.1 build of qt3 that worked perfectly until today. Something is definitely going on with the base libraries for kde3. My kdm/ksplash themes … [View More]

Simple Qt3 Intel Backlight App using dbus-1
by David C Rankin 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

All, I use a similar app for Nvidia backlight control, so a took a few minutes and rewrote it for Intel backlight control. So long as your system control backlight through /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/ this little app will allow you to simply launch it and use the mouse-wheel over the spin-box or slider to adjust the backlight. It is currently tuned for the insane 0-120000 range Intel uses. If your system uses a different range, simple modify the value limits in the .ui … [View More]
