I will suppress libkde4, and if the system hangs, I will go back to OSS 12.2.
You don't need to go back to 12.2 to go back to KDE3. Just add the KDE3 to what you have, and run a KDE3 session instead of a KDE4 session in your 13.1. Remove KDE4 entirely if you want, but it shouldn't be necessary. You might actually like one or more KDE4 app versions better than KDE3 versions, Konq for instance.
Right! I ask for installation with "others" X managers (I choised Xfce), then I started with the repo KDE:KDE3 because I confused and typed http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3/ instead of http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3 , then installed all the kde3 packages, but the session initialisation program did not proposed KDE3 windows-manager. Then I seen my mistake and used "oneclick install". This could be my mistake. Tell me as soon as possible if you would like me to do some tests for you with such an istallation, because I will re-install "normaly" ASAP, otherwise.
I expect reinstallation could be little or no help. Search to find what display manager is or managers are installed other than xdm via "zypper se -s dm" or in yast software management. If kdebase3-kdm is not installed, installing it might be the best or easiest solution. Then again it might be only some help. There two files in /etc/sysconfig/ what may be associated with your problem, displaymanager, and windowmanager. For kdm3, displaymanager needs to include 'DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3", and windowmanager needs 'DEFAULT_WM="startkde"'. These can be set in yast sysconfig editor or directly via any plain text editor.
Make sure in /usr/share/xsessions/ there is a file called kde.desktop that inside near top says "Name=KDE3". Could be this is the only thing stopping you now, so start with checking on it. The one I have on my 13.1 host gx27b is 3904 bytes created Dec 4.
There is an unrelated bug[1] in kdm3 that has to do with login manager itself starting and stopping. You might be better off with KDM4 as login manager if you can't figure out how to fix your currently active one to offer a KDE3 session.
--------------- Hi all, Thank you for your responses. You are wrong because of my bad way to speak english, and due to the fact that part of my initial post was inapropiate, too. This system never run KDE4, and "kdm" starts now (after the famous "one click install") correctly. Before reinstalling a stable 12.2 version, this could be the occsion to try KDE4. Maybe that old person like me could use it, if it is running ?
