Something strange. When I left the new install it was booting and rebooting fine. Read the kde3 group e-mails, and went back to test based on your (Ilya) requests. Wouldn't complete its boot. Not even safe mode. Finally got it (12.1k3) to boot to init3, but still went to blank screen after startx issued. Looked at windowmanager in /etc/sysconfig and noticed these lines at bottom: INSTALL_DESKTOP_EXTENSIONS="yes" KDE_USE_IPV6="yes" Fired up Yast commandline and installed kdebase3-Suse and it's dependency. Rebooted to init 3 again (still not going through to login screen, the normal way, as in earlier this a.m.), startx, and got the desktop. So far that's the only way I can get into the 12.1 test environment now. Connected? Or just Urban Legend? From what I see, "failed services in runlevel 5 ... kbd" is the message, and I note that kbd is not running in System Services when I do get to the desktop. I'll see if manually starting the service helps. Meanwhile, the original 12.1/k3 I genned from Factory still purrs along. I then installed kde3-k3b, kdebindings3, kdeutils and, later, digikam and amarok ... all from KDE:/KDE3 Factory. What's below are the rsults of various tests: On Tuesday 11 October 2011 10:51:20 am Ilya Chernykh wrote:
Install k3b from KDE:KDE3 but without hal.
** Done. Works fine; burned a CD.
Possibly, kpowersave which needs hal. Con you test if it is dependent on kpowersave? Will the entries appear once kpowersave is installed?
** Tried to install; kde3-kpowersave threw up a dependency on its language file which, to me is exactly the same version. Ditto if the language file is selected for install --- it throws up kde-kpowersave as an unsolvable dependency. I declined to install either. Needless to say, nothing appears but the Logout button as long as I'm unable to boot directly into the desktop. Something to look into?
Add KDE:KDE3 and check if Amarok and Digikam work well and stable (Kirill reported crashes in these applications)
** Done. Amarok works fine on .mp3's once all the codecs, etc are added to stop it complaining about .mp3's. Digikam, though, craps out with the following backtrace, when it is fired up; all is seen is the splash screen for a brief second: System configuration startup check disabled.

Is kdeadmin3 is usable for anything? As I know it includes SysV init setup, but 12.1 will use systemd. Thus I did not submit it.
** I did not install kdeadmin3. I guess I can check further later as to whether any functionality is missing, but it's not a high priority.
new KRandRtray? The current one will ....... I use nvidia so any xrandr and krandr settings are useless here anyway. They are configured with nvidia-settings utility. I have no ati computer under hand currently.
