All, Since my Suddenlink ISP is to incompetent to find the problem that is blocking receipt of opensuse list e-mails, I've subscribed through my gmail address -- so I will now get list mails. What is the world coming too.... Never let foreign investors by a controlling stake in your ISP -- no thank you Patrick Drahi... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Konsole needs update the add support for ANSI X3.64 'E' and 'F' escapes
by David C. Rankin 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

All, After fumbling around with why kde3 konsole could not properly display output from Archlinux pacman package manager, It looks like it is due to kde3 not having implemented ANSI X3.64 containing 'E' and 'F' escapes for cursor movement. KDE5 implemented with: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/66c830484c3e042284b23114a… TDE seems to have implemented this as well from information in the feature request I filed as: https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/71 Do you want me to file a feature request with openSUSE or do you want to just pick the change up from here? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Does Anybody Know What Happened to kweather?
by David C. Rankin 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

All, A thread on TDE list talked about the kweather app. I recall the app. Sure enough, we still have support in openSUSE KDE3 for it, e.g. /opt/kde3/share/apps/kweather/ (icons) /opt/kde3/share/apps/kweatherservice/ (weather stations file) but there is no kweather app in the KDE3 repo? Anybody know what because of that app? I can probably find the source from the original KDE3 3.5.10 code, but don't know offhand which openSUSE release last had kweather? -- David C.

14 Jan '21

All, I am just updating a 15.2 box and have 31 NEW KDE4 packages being installed in my KDE3. The following 31 NEW packages are going to be installed: babeltrace kde4-filesystem kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace-libs kdelibs4 kdelibs4-branding-upstream kdelibs4-core kio_audiocd4 libakonadi4 libakonadiprotocolinternals1 libattica0_4 libdbusmenu-qt2 libdmtx0 libical3 libkactivities6 libkcddb4 libkcompactdisc4 libkde4 libkdecore4 libkdepimlibs4 libksuseinstall1 libmusicbrainz5-1 libneon27 libopencore-amrnb0 libopencore-amrwb0 libphonon4 libpolkit-qt-1-1 libprison0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libqjson0 libx264-161 That is Bad JuJu! Why are all the new kde4 packages being installed to my KDE3 desktop?? I do NOT want anything to do with akonadi. What is the reason for this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

.webp capability needed (note to self and list)
by David C. Rankin 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

While I'm thinking about it. I ran across a .webp image format in a page the other day and there was no handling associated with it. Imagemagick handles it fine, so in the TODO list we need to add support for that format. I'm not sure where the basis for the graphics formats live, but I suspect this will be a kdelibs issue since it is a basic format like .jpg and .png and shouldn't only depend on installation of kde-graphics, etc.. This is a note for me, but like the sftp:// ssh dialogs on kate open from a remote site, if anybody is curious or beats me to it, more power to you. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
