Killer! .xz support in konqueror! That's a pleasant surprise!
by David C. Rankin 28 May '22

28 May '22

All, In 15.4 beta, I had a number of .xz files and by chance I clicked one -- bingo, automatically opened and ready to navigate in tree-mode just like .gz, .bz2, .zip, etc.. Whoever applied or wrote the patch -- my hat is off to you. Cherry picking from TDE had been on my to-do since 42.3 and it is was quite a treat to see it was already done! KDE3 konqueror --profile file-management is by far the best file-manager ever devised. (totally borked in KDE4 and I wrote 4+ bugs against it in Plasma, and in Plasma it still doesn't work nearly as good as it does in KDE3. Still the best desktop available. -- David C.

15.4 Beta - Bug 1199643 Submitted for kmenuedit hang on New Item Select Icon
by David C. Rankin 20 May '22

20 May '22

All, Yasuhiko, I filed: Bug 1199643 - Leap 15.4 Beta - KDE3 kmenuedit crash - QGArray::at: Absolute index 42385864 out of range https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1199643 Summary: kmenuedit hangs when you add a new item and click to change the icon.

15.4 Bug Filed for Missing Submenu Categorization
by David C. Rankin 15 May '22

15 May '22

All, KDE3 works fine on 15.4. There are still a few loose ends and some stray dependency issues from libpython 2.7, but other than a few hiccups, it is running great. One thing I immediately noticed was kmenu is no longer organized into convenient submenus (like the submenus under "Utilities", etc... All apps for Utilities are just dumped under Utilities with no submenus at all. I have opened a bug and will find time this weekend to look further. It is: Leap 15.4 Beta - KDE3 Menus No Longer Categorized - All Apps Dumped In Single Submenu https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1199473 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Where is kde3-gtk-qt-engine for 15.4?
by David C. Rankin 15 May '22

15 May '22

All, The kde3-gtk-qt-engine package that helps coordinate font and size in gtk apps is missing from the 15.4 repository. the kde3-kch_gtk package is there, but that package with all prior releases was broken. It is still the same version: 0.7svn20070827-lp154.23.1. Why isn't the kde3-gtk-qt-engine package built? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

15.4 Beta - Configure Shortcut Bug (long delay, high CPU but eventually works)
by David C. Rankin 14 May '22

14 May '22

All, I have noticed a bug with any of the apps when you use the menu "Configure Shortcuts" command to set a new shortcut (like adding [Alt + .] for show hidden files in konqueror, or setting [Win + d] to show/hide the document list in kate) When sitting the shortcut when you click to modify it, there is a long delay (10-sec or so) and then the same long delay after you press the new key combination to set it, and then an even longer delay when you click Ok to save the new shortcut. I didn't load 15.3, but at least through 15.2 this was all instantaneous as it has always been. Can somebody confirm this behavior in 15.4, if so, then I'll write up the bug report. Other than nits like that and the menus not being categorized, KDE3 on 15.4 is otherwise great. There is a libreoffice-calc crash when you try and un-maximize the window, but I don't see that as KDE3 related, writer has no problem there, so that looks calc specific. Let me know if you can verify the shortcut set delay. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[kde3] install KDE3 cause rebuild initrds
by Felix Miata 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

I had a 15.3 installation that's relatively old, with only XDM and IceWM previously installed, and all up to date. I added KDE3/KDM3: # time zypper -v in kdebase3-kdm kdebase3 kdebase3-SuSE kdebase3-apps kdebase3-runtime kdebase3-session kdebase-workspace kdegraphics3 kde3-susetranslations kde3-gtk-qt-engine kde3-kgtk kde3-oxygen-icon-theme kdeaddons3-kicker kdemultimedia3-mixer kdeutils3 Tail of /var/log/zypp/history: https://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/16742093 This command triggered installation of around 78 packages total. Why did the process of adding KDE3 to an existing installation terminate by (attempting to) rebuild all initrds? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
