[opensuse-kde3] Call for help with Trinity Project
by David C. Rankin 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

All, The Trinity project is gaining momentum and is in need of help for those that have CMake experience to help get modules converted to CMake. There is also a need for those with autotools/autoconf experience to help update the configuration to work with the newer autotools/autoconf. Robert, Ilya and I are doing what we can, but there is always a need for more manpower. Bob, Felix, Erik, Mark and the rest, if you have any spare time and want to help, you can really make a difference. We all have shown an interest in seeing KDE3/Trinity move forward by virtue of being here on this list. Regardless of your experience level, you can help. I struggle with makefiles, etc., and I'm just learning CMake, but even without being an expert, I eventually find a way to make some small contribution. Everyone can. Think about it, join the Trinity-devel list and get familiar with what's going on. "Your desktop needs you" :) -- David C.

[opensuse-kde3] kcontrol crash
by Ilya Chernykh 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Thanks to Sergei Amelian from the Trinity project we now have a temporary hotfix to the crash problem. Only a 64-bit build is currently available. This package http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Ansus:/KDE3/KDE_KDE3_openSU… should not crash in the icons module although the origin of the problem has not been fixed yet and the icon preview module still will work incorrectly for some themes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Possible Problem with KDM in KDE3 and 11.3/11.4 re: Booting to GUI?
by Erik Sorenson 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Started my computer this a.m. and it booted my 11.3/kde3 partition as it should, but dropped to the commandline rather than go through to the desktop. Logging in and "startx" worked right off. Problem is repeatable, and booting will not go through to the GUI without dropping to the commandline. Tried it on the 11.4/kde3 that I had created a week ago (pure icewm install for 11.4, then add kde3 repo), and the same thing happened. Yesterday both were working fine. Here are the pertinent lines in /var/log/warn's from these two systems (Xorg.0.log is useless): Mar 13 15:37:18 s113kde3 kdm[2373]: X server startup timeout, terminating Mar 13 15:37:18 s113kde3 kdm[2373]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled Mar 13 15:19:05 s114kde3 kdm[1904]: X server startup timeout, terminating Mar 13 15:19:05 s114kde3 kdm[1904]: X server for display :0 can't be started, session disabled Two other opensuse partitions I have, with 11.4/kde4 (stock install from final DVD), and 11.4/kde3 (this is the one I set up as a test yesterday, putting on 11.3/kde3 first, then upgrading to 11.4/kde3), go straight through to the GUI as they should. BUT, they have the stock X video drivers. The two non-performing partitions/systems have the ATI 11.2 proprietary driver. As I said, everything was fine yesterday when I powered down, and I haven't had a problem with the 11.3/kde3 partition that I use every day. I'm tempted to put the ATI driver on the 11.4/kde3 system (the one I set up as a test yesterday, since krandr doesn't retain settings) and see if it craps out on boot too. Would a recent (up to yesterday) KDE3 update(s) have affected this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Patches for NetworkManager-kde
by Khyota 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

I found a set of patches from the gentoo kde-sunset overlay that fix the following errors in knetworkmanager when connecting to a wireless network with NetworkManager 0.8 connection: 'NMSettingWirelessSecurity' / 'psk' invalid: 1 connection: 'NMSettingConnection' / 'uuid' invalid: 1 The configure-check-for-nm patch adds a configure check for networkmanager as well.

Re: [opensuse-kde3] Could Use Help re: KDE 3.5 on 11.4

This is very confusing because many > people reported a similar problem. Iiya, was it via upgradinging, or clean install? If the former, maybe something carried over may make it work? I've now done about 6-7 clean installs (Mx thru to RC2, no upgrades), and each time the two problems have appeared. FYI, the list of installed packages resulting from the fairly "pure" most recent x86_64 install is here: http://burpnrun.blogspot.com/2011/03/35on114x64.html If you want, I can do an item-by-item compare (the 3.5/11.4_x64 list at the above website is 916 items, my 3.5/11.3_x86 production system will be a heck of a lot larger). But does your observation/experience suggest (if upgrading vs new install) that there's a file missing in my list which would make my installs "automagically" work if included? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-kde3] Support for KDE3 removed from LibreOffice

>I have just installed 11.4 and Libre Office 3.3.1 uses GTK front-end >under 11.4. With OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 under 11.3 all was OK. In my 11.4_x86/3.5 (from 11.4 repo) system I genned earlier this week, I had subsequently installed LibreOffice. Works, no sweat! A x86 vs x86_64 thingy? One thing, I don't use OpenJDK but, rather, the latest Sun version from the openSUSE repos. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-kde3] Hah! 11.4 desktop configured - Despite no kcontrol :)

> Did you use the default (Crystal) icon theme before? It seems this affects > only those who use it. I use DarkGlass_Reworked, maybe because of that I had > no such problem. Hmmm. I went into the 11.4_x86/3.5 (from 11.4 repo) system I genned earlier this week. Changed from the default theme (which I believe is "crystal-SUSE") to "Plastik". Before this change, neither Kcontrol nor icons.desktop worked. After the change, icons.desktop worked, but Kcontrol still comes up blank as always. Even changed the icon theme (to KDE-Classic) ... no difference. Interesting tidbit: when you select Plastik as the theme, it automagically switched to the "crystal-SVG" ison theme, and I couldn't see any material impact. So, changed back to that after KDE-Classic. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde3] Hah! 11.4 desktop configured - Despite no kcontrol :)
by David C. Rankin 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Ilya, All, I got the kde3 desktop configured in my favorite blueslate theme and the icon sizes set even with kcontrol broken :) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/opensuse_114-blueslate.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/kde/opensuse_114-blueslate-menu.jpg If you want to configure you icon size, etc.. while waiting on kcontrol to be fixed, you can use the following ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals as a reference. Just exit kde then edit your ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and add the following sections: [DesktopIcons] [Icons] [MainToolbarIcons] [PanelIcons] [SmallIcons] [ToolbarIcons] ** you must NOT be in kde3 when you do this or kdeglobals may be overwritten on exit. (it should preserve you setting, but why chance it) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/11.4/kde3/kdeglobals -- David C.
